blah blah blah...(when's the coffee gonna kick in...)

I'm working for The Company again today...the things I do for money...10-14 hour blitzes for a few days...then comes the ever-awesome humungaloid paycheck which I'd LOVE to think was totally mine...then I remember the taxes that I'm responsible for calculating and then I *sigh*.

it's a common thing for ppl nowadays to poke fun at our obsession to be "connected" digitally...but you'd be surprised how strung out you get when your internet access becomes restricted. not as in "you can't go online" in the sense that you're not allowed. as in "unable". when i get home from work, i can't go barging into my brother's room to use the desktop, and my sister brought the laptop to Dallas (naturally) for her business trip. so i only really have this small window of opportunity in the early hours of the office, before everyone else comes in. plus the files i'm working on are taking forever to process...so i'm using the downtime to process my own brain. (haha, sounds futile doesn't it.)

random sampling of the noise in my head...i promise to update this with links...the ambitious can simply Google it and get the same results...

the upcoming presidential election.
i'm a party loyal democrat, and it's about damn time that the bushes get the fcuk out of the white house. when it comes to 21st century politics, my polling place logic drifts towards "the lesser of two evils"...but i'm really bummed that we're having to discuss our options as "the person most likely to beat bush in november." true, this is strategic thinking. but wouldn't it be nice if we could just say "y'know _____ is a really kick ass guy and if he were president he could really make a difference." i was watching meet the press the other day and they were saying that edwards could never be a logical choice for vice president because (paraphrased) "kerry shouldn't choose someone that's a more charismatic speaker than him". WTF! that so sucks to hear something like that. then they showed footage of the florida dood that was their top choice, because he can help kerry swing a state that's 1)typically ambivalent betw. democrats/republicans, 2)home to jeb bush, who not only has been senator since the beginning of time, he's related to...yeah.
