And here it is again.

These once a month posts are much better for me. Gives me time to stock up a worthwhile post, but anyway.

Start working at H and O Dental Lab, good stuff, easy job. Glad to finally be getting experience for future resumes, that is always a plus. I fell into the job rather easily, it is not so different from the work I had done in classes.

Although my physical health has not been doing as good. Sunday put me in some sort of virus that subsided over night, but I've still had this sore throat for 3 days. I'd rather be deathly ill then have a sore throat. Fucking annoying ass pain. It's done nothing but make a relatively enjoyable start to the week become torture.

More and more I find myself believing that my friends are my enemies. Everyone I've met, everyone who stops to talk to me. All are dubious. I spend a part of my time hating everything, a part of my time hating everyone, and a part of my time hating myself. Whichever, it doesn't matter much. I have a job now, money is much better then happiness. I make this conclusion based on the fact that I've had money, and had happiness, and the money was more satisfying then the happiness.

I did get a chance to watch the latest god aweful attempt at cinematics by Michael Moore. As I pull up what I can about him in order to gain material for the upcoming parody movie a friend of mine will be filming. I shouldn't really say it was god aweful, it was kinda funny. If ambiguous use of subjective and inacurate claims is your bag of comedy. The icing of the cake was his Orson Wells quote at the end, or misquote I should say. Orson Wells is one of the writers I enjoy more-so when it comes down to reading political literature. It took a certain web article about the Moore movie to recall to memory the origin of the quote. The quote that Moore tried to change the meaning of is from 1984, and he uses it to try to make America look as bad as Iraq, but there's trouble with that. George Orwell's own words in his writings about democracy are as follows.

"The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point. But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists, whose real though unacknowledged motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration for totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writing of the younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States …"

Totalitarianism is a pretty self explanitary word. Government gets total control. Communism is like this in ways, as is a Dictatorship. It is also the only way that the "happy world" that people rally for can be ackomplished. Why you ask? Because as long as people have freedom, there will always be some people who will use it to hurt other people. If you are wondering about the website I reffered to, here's the url.

I attempt to burn myself out of politics, maybe if I get enough of it I'll grow tired of it and not care anymore. Either way, it all boils down to opinions, and opinions kill friendships. I've heard the phrase from a few people "I thought you were smarter then that." What the fuck kind of statement is that? As though intellegence has anything to do with beliefs and opinion. Although going back to the above quote, it is kind of funny that Moore would misuse an author that, if anyone bothered to do 10 seconds of research about, would suddenly turn out to be against his own veiwpoint. That would be like me quoting Bin Laden to express my love of the USA. Anyway, I'm out, peace.
