Watching CNN & MSNBC for six days is really a grand way to fuel the hate and depression. Its quite pointless to harp on how the powers here royally FUCKED up this one & how it all reeks of racism. So lucky us, Bush is now, not only a fucking moron but a racist moron, shame this didn't happen BEFORE the election (its a shame it happened at all, for purpose of point roll with it) - but hey, if [you] want a power hungry war monger idiot in the pilot seat, have a nice trip and fuck you. Oh apathy.
We've been talking about possibly taking in a family. I don't know if that will actually happen. We don't have a large house & they are in debt as it is right now, that keeps climbing. Eh, I'd like to do it anyway. So my charitable (hardly existent) endeavors are focused on this one thing right now. This 18 year old hung himself & is now on a ventilator at the hospital my mother works at - this boys mother has decided to quit her job & put all focus into her son who is NOT recovering from this. She's lost her house & is now living in the hospital room with her five year old daughter. I will not judge how hard it would be to lose a child, or to have one brain dead hoping they might come back to you. But its so unfair to this little girl; who has nothing. CS(s) are already threatening to remove the child to be put in foster care, but that doesn't really solve a damn thing. Anyway, my mother and I were talking about it - how all she has are two barbie dolls and a broken pen someone gave her that is pink and glittery that she shows to everyone. ...Its just...sad.
I went shopping & bought her a bunch of girly fun stuff that will keep her entertained for a while. I plan on wrapping it - because all kids love to open presents. Its not much, but its fucking something.
(& a p.s. for simple reminder to myself the best dream ever last night -sigh-)
