(no subject)
Yes another post today. Class sucks and I need to build my writing ability so here I am. You know, I'm always wondering what's going on in the people's heads around me. Often times, when I have learned of something someone has been thinking for a while my first reaction is "What the fuck?" I guess I'm happy living a life where I'm just content to live somewhat well and do good in my free time and my job (which right now is working for the YMCA with kids, it is awesomesauce.) Often I can create any environment I need to cope with the act of existing. I need quiet time to myself. I get this quiet time in the morning while others are still dreaming. I also need some form of escapism since sometimes current affairs are just too crazy for me. For the majority of my life that has been video games/books/music. Though lately I'm just too tired to do anything but video games. I think I learned this skill (but it's not even a skill really but an option. It seems few others even consider changing their mindsets instead of their tangible settings/things) at Orme, where one could not get away so had to do with what one had (much of the time that was absolutely nothing but your own room, which you shared with someone else.)
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I am a very introverted, personal person and I deal with it. Others I have encountered deal with it in, what I consider to be, a much unhealthier and/or temporary manner. They change superficial things when if they just approached things in a different way, they would see their personal problems don't have to be all-encompassing. I guess what I'm really trying to say is I'm sick of people taking everything for granted and shoving their shit onto everyone else. Luckily, most the time those people take things for granted because they're too self-absorbed to notice and thus also too self-absorbed to bother asking anyone to help
In other news, it's hard to believe how dire the situation is for the GOP. Hard to believe no because they don't deserve it, but because it didn't happen sooner. I mean, the destruction on a major American city and the birthplace of jazz didn't do it. The gutting of our children's education hasn't. The unilateral invasion of a secular, sovereign country based on false prerequisites didn't. But a 5 year war where we have seen historically low American casualty rate (don't take this as a sign that I think the conflict is going well) has. Everything else is merely icing.
This GOP meltdown should've happened much sooner than it did. It's a testament to how unusual the American populace is. It took an incredible amount of wasted time, money, and lives for Bush supporters to admit (notice I didn't use the word "realize" because who knows when that happened? If only I could read their minds) their collective mistake. And even then do they repent and look at the political parties for someone better? Nope, they just stop paying attention. I guess they're hoping things get better on their own. They're hoping that Iraq's 3,000 year history disappears, that New Orleans and Kansas rebuild on their own, that the Justice Department starts acting with favor to justice rather than a political party, that the deficit won't bite their children in the ass and that New York and Florida stay above the sea.
