Yahoo Chat

Had a really long long conversation with girl "met" in online chat room. And she seems great as a person. Would love to meet her. If pic is real she is gorgeous. So basically out of my league. Not really sure what to make of the whole thing. Also note she doesn't know what I look like. Was hoping she would push for pic before now, most usually do. It saves a lot of time cause I am the not the tall handsome blah blah most women online are hoping to find. Should be interesting to see what happens when she does get a gander at me. Will provide updates if anything warrants it.

Lost Opportunity

Sigh. Saw this girl hasn't seen in like five years. Gorgeous girl, great person. We used to work together, nothing came of it cause she wasn't interested in me.

So see her again for first time in a while and what do i do? Nada, nothing, zip, not even a hello. Idiot! Would have anything come of it five years later? probably not. She was always into the jock stereotype and I'm anything but. Still, instead of knowing going to get rejected all i know is i might have been. Idiot!

War on Terror?

Thought that just occured to me. When did the War on Terror become the War to Liberate Iraq? When was the last time heard of any success made by the US against terrorists? For that matter you have Bush declaring America "safer" despite no proof to back it up...yet terrorist attacks are becoming almost a daily occurance. School attack in Russia anyone? I guess cause that only includes children from some other country it doesn't count as a failure for the War on Terror. And where is Osama? Why does noone mention he is still free? Bush spoke of al Quida being gone yet no proof to back that up. They seem to be running just fine thank you very much. Doesn't seem like a whole lot of success for Bush but then Republicans are masters of making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I guess i just assume Osama would be priority one but I guess attacking Kerry and trumping "successes" are more important.

The Daily Show

I couldn't go on long enough but how great the Daily Show is. Not only is it hilarious but its informative and scathing. Its also sadly the last bastion of true journalism. They actually do point on what is incorrect, lies and deceits performed by politicans. Unlike the press corp who sit around taking turns kissing politican of the moment ass. Sadly the press has just become another mouthpiece, feeding the public whatever they are told to feed instead of reporting and dissecting the facts. The press use to be powerful, it use to mean something, it use be a source to cut throug the clutter of sound bytes and garbage...but now it is the garbage.

so instead we have the Daily Show as our last source of decent information. Hilarous great show...but doesn't that just tell you how far the press has fallen?
