The topic of Halloween and being a stupid bitch.
The horror film junkie that I am, I've been trying to find a decent website that tells me what scary movies/shows are on television. I can't seem to find a decent one that tells me what is on regular cable. I do have FearNet, but I want more. Hell, half the time when I put the TV on, I don't watch it. I read and do homework. But I like the sound and to look up at something once in a while. Usually around this time of year, it's holiday related movies/shows or QVC. Or the news. But after all the election crap is over with, the news will be boring. Unless McCain becomes president, because then there will be news on riots.
I'm not going to vote because I don't like either of the two. Someone said I should just vote for a lesser-party, but I'm too lazy to wait in line to give an inkling of hope to someone else.
Deep down I want McCain to win so that there will be more excitement. Just to spite all the people around me. I'm a terrible person. All the hipsters and free-for-all'ers will amuse me, for once.
I work with some Englishman who said, "If [free health care] works all over the world, it can work here in America."
Then why the hell are Cubans risking their lives traversing the ocean to get to America? Why are the illegal immigrants in America working so that they can send money to their loved ones back in Cuba? Because they are not doing as well as we all hope!
Yes, I watched Michael Moore's film Psycho but please keep in mind that most documentaries you will watch that are created by biased people is full of slanted, biased crap. I'm not saying that all his research and all of his film is folly. I'm just saying, it's Michael Moore, come on. If Michael Savage was to make a film, I'd be just as skeptical! It is so easy to make a film that convinces people to take a side. It is so so so easy to take a television clip of a president saying something and use it against them and make it seem like they are saying something else. And yes, I really liked the very ending of Moore's film when he was walking the streets of DC asking congressmen if they were sending their children to Iraq, only for the congressmen to avoid Moore and be embarrassed.
Also. Don't quote me on this, it's something I heard. But six or eight months ago, the state of Hawaii issued all children of the state (just the children! Not the whole state!) free health care. That is, up to a few weeks ago, they had to abandon that idea because it didn't work. Now, I'm just an idiot, and I can't say that America is unable or able to do this and make everyone happy. I don't know what to say or think.
Perhaps I should share a song that is appropriate for this post and this season. It's by Norah Jones. She wrote this before the last election.
My Dear Country
'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out
and everywhere they'd go, they'd shout.
And though, I covered my eyes,
I knew they'd go away.
But fear's the only thing I saw.
And three day's later, was clear to all:
That nothing is as scary as
Election Day.
But the day after is darker.
And darker and darker it goes.
Who knows, maybe the plans will change.
Who knows, maybe he's not deranged.
The newsmen know what they know, but they
know even less than what they say.
And I don't know who I can trust
for the come-what-may.
'Cause we believed in our candidate.
And even more, it's the one we hate.
I needed someone I can shake
on Election Day.
But the day after is darker.
And deeper and deeper it goes.
Who knows, maybe it's all a dream.
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.
I love the things that you've given me.
I cherish you, my dear country.
But sometimes I don't understand
the way we play.
I love the things that you've given me
and most of all, that I am free
to have a song that I can sing
on Election Day.
