Facets of the Moment

  • an amazing girlfriend whom I love very much, and miss when I'm not with her, even when I hang up the phone after talking to her for an hour.
  • some great friends who I love and appreciate, though I don't tell them that enough.
  • no job at the moment (though, not for a lack of looking).
  • very little money, but a hang-up that somehow, my worthiness in this world is attached to how much money I have.
Hang on, the phone just rang..."Hello?...Oh, Hey Paradox...Uh-huh...Listen, can I call you back later? I'm blogging right now...Cool, thanks...Bye."

Ok, where was I?...Oh, yeah...
  • the same small apartment I've had for almost 8 years.
  • an obnoxiously arrogant, loud animal of an upstairs neighbor that STARTS playing music at 1:30am, constantly slams his door when entering or leaving his apartment and stomps around his place - as well as up and down the stairs outside my apartment - as though he were taking a rhinoceros for his/her daily exercise jog.
  • a 10 year old car with 37,000 miles on it (I got it from my Uncle Ray, before he passed away - hey, that rhymes!).
  • a willingness to - believe it or not - hold my tongue in order to "keep the peace" (more often than you think).
  • a modicum of talent in music and acting (which you'll hopefully get to experience someday if you haven't already).
  • a hyper-abundance of film, music and tv trivia in my head.
  • great taste in film and music.
  • a warped sense of humor.
  • a bit of sleep depravation (possibly a form of insomnia, but I'm not sure).
  • great hair (knock-on-whatever-substance-is-handy-at-the-moment).
Overall, I think I'm a very fortunate person.

'Tis the season to be voting

I haven't enjoyed a primary season like this one in SUCH a long time! First, I'll say, I haven't paid as much attention to primaries in the past as I have this one, but damn, I sure picked a good one. So, Clinton and Obama are in a dead heat (always thought that was a weird phrase). OK. I'm an Obama supporter, but if Clinton gets the nomination, I'm fine with that. If all of the Democratic contestants were still in the race, she wouldn't be my second choice either. However, if it's her, I can deal. I'd like to see how a female president would work. I think, very well. I do feel - though - that we need a real change in this country. The idea of Bush - Clinton - Bush - Clinton is not appealing to me at all. Yes, things were going well in the 90s, but that's so last millennium. Enough of the past. I think we need a real change, or - to paraphrase Monty Python - we need something completely different. I think that's Barack Obama. As much ...

Just a thought...

Originally posted: October 9, 2006 I was at a friend's place yesterday and Team America: World Police was on. We watched what was left before switching to Real Time with Bill Maher. Both were great. Today, I listen to Bush chastize North Korea for Nuclear (not 'nuke-u-ler', genius) testing. Now, I am in no way a proponent of N. Korea having and/or testing nukes, but am I the only one that finds it odd that Trey Parker and Matt Stone felt Kim Jong Il was more important when they made the movie over 2 years ago than Geroge W. Bush & Co. yesterday?
