well...im updating...for like the first time in FOREVER...but this is for a reason...just read this to the end and participate...like NO MONEY SPENT THAT DAY...
Don't spend a dime on January 20, 2005

It doesn't really matter that everyone will be out
spending what they didn't the next
day - a point or two will have been made: Since our
religious leaders will not speak out
against the war in Iraq, since our political leaders
don't have the moral courage to
oppose it, Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th,
2005 is "Not One Damn Dime Day" in
America. On "Not One Damn Dime Day" those who oppose
what is happening in our name in Iraq
can speak up with a 24-hour
national boycott of all forms of consumer spending.
During "Not One Damn Dime Day" please
don't spend money. Not one damn dime for gasoline. Not
one damn dime for necessities or
for impulse purchases.
Not one damn dime for anything for 24 hours.
On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Walmart,
KMart and Target.
Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience
store. Please don't buy any fast
food (or any groceries at all for that matter). For 24
hours, please do what you can to
shut the retail economy down. The object is simple.
Remind the people in power that the war in Iraq is
immoral and illegal; that they are responsible for
starting it and that it is their responsibility to
stop it. "Not One Damn Dime Day" is to remind them,
too, that they work for the people of
the United States of America, not for the
international corporations and K Street lobbyists who
represent the corporations and funnel cash into
American politics.
Not One Damn Dime Day" is about supporting the troops.
The politicians put the troops in
harm's way. Now 1,200 brave young Americans and (some
estimate) 100,000 Iraqis have died.
The politicians owe our troops a plan -- a way to come
home.
There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No left
or right wing agenda to rant about. On "Not One Damn
Dime Day" you take action by doing nothing. You open
your mouth by keeping your wallet closed. For 24
hours, nothing gets spent, not one damn dime, to
remind
our religious leaders and our politicians of their
moral responsibility to end the war in
Iraq and give America back to the people.

yeah but overall everythings been weird...so many things happening...hey...at least i hit the 200 cd mark...now its just more...but itll be easier when i get my Nomad...BLAH...
