(no subject)
School tomorrow. I'm...excited? Possibly anxious. Okay. Mostly anxious. Not in that 'lay out your clothes ahead of time' kinda way, more like the 'goddammit, now I have to do laundry if I don't want to smell like a chain smoking alcoholic on my first day' kinda way. So, somehow I convinced myself that a second German class was necessary. Because broken knowledge of three different languages is extremely desirable in the world today. Took more psychology and humanities because those seem to be the only things I am interested in that BCC offers. I need to find a better school to go to, one that challenges me more. I know I would care more then. Anyway, got mom signed up for a few more classes also. Hope she keeps up with it because she did well last semester, especially considering she hasn't taken classes in 30 years.
Don't really know what else to write. The boat is still not back, so it is coming up on two months we have all been unemployed. I am getting really antsy about that, I just want to do something productive for a change. This hanging out every night gets to be stressful when you know you could be doing something, even if we are getting paid to do nothing. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon. I feel like I have been steadily moving forward in my life, be it at an extremely slow pace, but every step is a positive one, and I need that motivation right now. Heh. I sound like a self help book. "You are a beautiful person, people like you, you are a unique individual, but just fucked up enough to need to buy this book". Yeah, so I am ranting. It has been one of those types of days.
Primaries for Florida coming up on the 29th. Joseph and I got registered at the last possible second, literally. I had to throw myself in front of a mail truck because all the post offices were closed and the application had to be postmarked by the 31st. That was fun. I was really into the whole political machine for a while, but I guess I have kind of become disenchanted again in the past few weeks. There are too many jackasses out there to counter my vote for it to matter too much. I think I read too many message boards, then got disheartened by all the racism and bigotry I saw, and I started to wonder if the people in this country are even worth saving. I mean, look what we do with our freedom - we get fat, look away from the plight of the poor, just flat out kill other innocent people, and bicker so much between ourselves that nothing ever gets accomplished. Or maybe that is just the last 7 years talking. And I guess that is why I will still vote and still care, as frustrated as i become. Because I don't want to feel this angry or disillusioned anymore. Too bad we can't all be hippies who live in trees and vote for Kucinich and his Secretary of Peace.
So, yes. That was a jumble. Now to be even more annoying, I leave you with my favorite movie quote this week from a kinda lame movie called Joshua.
Dad looks down at his son who is reading the bible at the kitchen table.
"So, you love Jesus now?"
Joshua nods his head.
"Go to your room."
(I don't know why this struck me as so funny, but it totally did.)
