Thank God I did something this weekend, I have been posting too much politics. Last night I went to the final performance of "As You Like It" at the University of Houston Shakespeare Festival. It was enchanting. The typical Shakespearean comedy, rife with cross-dressing and lovesick fools. I cannot say how great it was enough times. I wish we still used Shakespearean English. It's so rhythmic and beautiful. I think we are going to go see "Greater Tuna" next week, which is about "the third smallest town in Texas." It is supposed to be quite funny, and it should be, as I know small town Texas can definately serve up a moment of hilarity or three or four. Though sometimes life in a small town is a tragi-comedy. I am a little bummed out today though because Jeff Gordon didn't place in the top ten at The Glen. He did pretty well considering he got moved to the back of the pack not once but twice. I am also taking consolation in the fact that he moved up to 13th in the Nextel Cup standings. And I guess congratulations are in order to Tony Stewart for winning at The Brickyard last week and the road race today. And how could I not mention Robby Gordon (no relation to Jeff) kicking ass and taking names in both the Busch series race yesterday and the Nextel Cup race today, placing 2nd in both. Booya! "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts..." -William Shakespeare "As You Like It"
When this has been investigated thoroughly, expect there to be outrage in the streets. Those people, who seemingly chose to ignore this kind of intelligence, were appointed by the president. And guess who that was...America's Archangel himself, Bill Clinton--a Liberal Democrat. That's why I like Bush, I don't care what ya'll say. I hate to be partisan, but if we subscribe to the Democrats' way of defending America, we'll all be dead or wearing burkhas in ten years or so.
I was posting last night and sometime between composing and publishing, blogger went down for maintenance. So here is my post from yesterday, as best I can remember...
I am back from a long weekend of doctors appointments. I am taking all kinds of vitamins I've never even heard of now. Had a good time watching MTV though. Billie Joe (of Green Day) has finally passed into adulthood and he is so handsome! And have you seen Gwen Stefani's video for "Cool?" She is beautiful with blonde hair, and totally rad with pink hair, but she's fucking gorgeous as a brunette. When I find a picture I'll post it--this one is the best I could do. And the video is weird to me because the song is about being "cool" with your ex, but she definately looks like she is jealous of the new girlfriend. Too obvious Gwen!
Now, it's nice and all that the prisoners down there have ready access to new media, but come on. I've been to jail--for an extended period--and we didn't have shit like that! And I hear all the ACLU's claims about how bad the treatment at Gitmo is and then the investigation comes out and you hear stuff like this and I get so pissed. They are living the "life of Riley" in prison on our nickel. I mean, think about it. They are treating terrorists, who literally want to blow our country up, better than they would treat someone who was caught with pot. That is fucked up. And in state jail had we requested anything--much less some trendy-ass fuckin Harry Potter shit, the guards would have laughed their asses off and given us a strip search just for fun. I know it's hip to be liberal and all, and I am liberal in many ways, but I just can't go along with this one. They would rather treat goddamned terrorists better than they'd treat your brother or his sister or her boyfriend or his mother. What are they thinking??
I saw some badass short films on PBS the other night. Don't count PBS out...when you don't have cable, sometimes it has by far the best shows on. One was called "The Pool" and it made me believe in love again. I am pretty sure I'm going home to East Texas tomorrow to hang out with my mom and my cat, Dinah. It's been three weeks since I've been home and I'm excited. But their computer is sick so I'll not be posting for the next few days. Today I was listening to the radio at work, and they listen to right-wing talk radio--you know those guys...Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage--and Hannity was talking about Judicial Nominee John Roberts being probed, and it seems that the New York Times has obtained or is trying to obtain the papers concerning the adoption of his two children. Is it me, or is that a little excessive? Or obsessive? I think it's vulgar. Some things are personal, and private. He's got the same rights as all of us, and they deserve to be recognized.
"Researchers have documented a link between depression and heart disease. A diagnosis of heart disease increases the risk of depression. Likewise, people who become depressed are at greater risk for heart disease."
Perhaps I am on to something! (See previous post "I Don't Know What I Mean, Really.) Seems to me that if there is direct relation between depression and heart disease, that would mean that people are dying from broken hearts. What can be done about this? What does this mean?
I'm too afraid to get personal...but let's just say someone is sooo immature. They are taking me to my WW meeting tomorrow and they say, "oh--so while you're at your meeting, I can go to the movies, right?" Just to try to make me want to skip the meeting to do something more "fun" and ultimately fail the diet. What a dick. I just don't know what to think when people act like that. How do you deal with an overgrown child?
In other news, someone has offered $80 grand--cash--for our motorhome, and wants to fly in to see it. We did a little research on who this person was (found on ebay) and it's some guy who owns a sex shop in Germany. haha!I couldn't have made that shit up if I tried.
