So I was in a bit of a funk after the election, like a lot of people I know, but I did find the ultimate way to get me out of it. A road trip to Long Beach for a music festival. (More details on that in another post yet to come.) But it was the perfect catharsis for this. A large gathering of 20 somethings, all with similar despondancy over the results of things, and all the bands coming together to put a voice of support and to give people music they love. Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips in particular gave a really heartfelt speech about the state of things, and it was exactly what I needed to take my mind off of things enough to get it in to better perspective.
So then just as I was just starting to come to terms with the state of the world at large, Arafat up and dies. That's exactly who I want deciding the fate of that region; George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon. So much for hoping his presidency wouldn't have too many lasting effects. Fuck.
The Incredibles was awesome. I wanna be a superhero. I want it more than I want anything else I know I can never have.
And I shall leave you with some words of wisdom from one of the great sages of our time. He goes on to a better place, but only because he's leaving such a crappy one.
"I aint got no problem with you fuckin me, but I got a little problem with you not fuckin me."
