Dang, its been a while.
It's been a long while.
It's been so long, that I wont bother to put down the metric ton of catchup journaling that I have lodged up somewhere in the attics of my mind.
I'm just gonna start with today.
Ok, so all these people in campus just love to give their time and encourage us all to vote. Ok, nothing wrong with that. I'm all for people exercising their rights. But, you know, so many of them grandstand their mission with this whole neutral facade. But we all know better. You know it, I know it, the American people knows it. Most of these people just want us to vote for Kerry. There, I said it.
Yeah, I know, whether you vote or not and who you vote for are two different issues. But, man, I'm just sick of this masking of what people just want to express. Just say it, dude! Why do you think young people get the brunt of this kind of publicity? Could it have anything to do with the tendency of college campuses to vote liberal? I mean, I don't remember my mom ever getting any "rock the vote" propaganda. Who cares if white middle class america votes, what we need is college kids voting, right? After all, therein lies the climax of political wisdom, in a bunch of not-yet-fully-educated, just out of puberty passionate idealists. Never mind with the more evenminded, time-enwisened populace. They have nothing to say in this election.
Anyway, sorry about that. Today I went kayaking with my hall mates and busted my knee really bad. I fell off in the first bunch of rapids (nothing works better to wrinkle my ego, let me tell you) and it was a battle between saving my life and saving my lunch still stuck in the overturned kayak. That whole thing where they flip like in the movies is a load of crap. Those things take forever to turn over again.
It was a good day, the whole thing took about four or five hours. I didn't wear any glasses (my eyes are acting up like crazy latelly, I'm really getting old) so everything looked really blurry and dreamy. I kept singing that R.E.M. song "Find The River" to myself. It was great.
Fall break this weekend. I'm totally going camping. I don't know where. I don't know who. I just know that I must get myself a piece of this fall foliage. The season is here, my friends.
It's late. I'm going to bed. Love ya's.
