8 Reasons to Go to New Orleans Now!

It is funny how many of these things I have to do with and/or participate in. :-)

I was at Orange Couch on thursday and will probably be at Cochon(the restaurant, not the butcher version) on Sunday!

Sooo....

Sooo... Miss Doxie is back. I love her so I am happy. She has been having blogging issues the last year too.

I will be shocked if anyone is actually still checking my site the way they are checking hers. But she's much funnier than me so I don't mind.

Anyway, haven't had anything I really wanted to go on a tirade about. Ok, let me rephrase that...I have MUCH to go on a tirade about, but won't because it actually makes me too angry. And I'm very zen these days....oooommm....shut up, really...zen...ooom

Ok fine...

It is just that sometimes I feel like everyone has sipped some sort of Kool-Aid that made that whole anti-Communist, anti-Socialism 20th century thing kinda disappear. I used to think Socialists and Anarchists...and assorted other fun folk were rather fringe. That we all generally didn't like Karl Marx and Engels... But apparently not. I feel like I ate the wrong side of the mushroom sometimes. "We're ALL mad here!"

So anyway...

I did go on a tirade on someone else's blog the other night. And if I say so myself...I kicked some ass on the debate front. To be honest, she was an idiotic Iranian living in L.A. and obviously hanging out with morons who fed her talking points on a steady basis. She had fun slamming America and Americans..saying we were all evil murderers and shit and that Capitalism was evil and that Socialism was the BEST THING EVER. So not really much of a challenge. The mentally dysfunctional rarely are.

I swear that these type of people are a cult leader's wet dream...VERY impressionable and not so bright.

So. I decimated her. I think I used up all the eloquence stored up from not posting much the last 6 months.

I tried to be the bigger person..no "actual" name calling on my part(she called me a "white trash midwesterner"...cause all us white trash live in the midwest, huh?). I had some fun enlightening her that calling people "white trash" is un-PC, something that her buddy Marx would definitely frown upon.

Then she condescended. BIG. HUGE. MISTAKE.

If there is one thing I don't react well to it is condescention.

So I got to call someone "an emotional infant" and I got a whole lot of "You go girl!" from the masses on that one.

She took her ball and went home. Poor baby. Must be hard living with all us Capitalists. I bet she just cries into her Big Mac and Coke each and every night.

I've been relatively refraining from hitting below the belt these days. I have been trying to watch that. Ever since one of my teachers called me the most vicious negotiator he has ever taught(and he's an evil SOB), I've had a little air let out of my tires on that. Yes, I negotiated some of the most one-sided contracts imaginable(I pretty much owned them til they died)..but it really wasn't that much of a challenge. I knew that the other party HAD to sign a contract with me...sooo...I asked for the moon and they had to deliver. Duh. Totally voidable they were so one-sided.

I made an exception in little Ms. Tehran's case, but don't count on me ripping anyone a new one anytime soon.

As I said, I've attained a zen state in the last few months. OOommm.

Ok, not so much. But maybe if I pretend to not care about politics, then maybe I just won't. And then I can be one of those people who dots their i's with hearts and thinks life is rainbows and kittens.

But I wouldn't count on it. :-P

Ya know...

I am overly into guys who want the reserved hard to get girl(thus don't want me) and then when I make the effort to not be overly into the guys I am interested in, these guys end up WANTING the insta-girlfriend. And usually move on to an insta-girlfriend.

(not what I am dealing with now, but valid)

Also, guys I'm not crazy about want to be with me forever and can't get enough. Guys who I want to be with don't want to be with me forever.

(pertinent and valid and sick)

I think I'm a poor judge of what each individual guy wants.

I just can't win.

If I act like I'm not interested, then I actually DO lose interest...and then I dump them. And that sucks.

(Sigh)

Trick or Treat?

Apparently the new healthcare plan will ONLY cost $900,000,000,000. That would be billion by the way. And it is supposed to be budget neutral.. huh.

Apparently all is hunky-dory now that it is going to cost under a trillion.

Wait, I just got heartburn....ow...damn... (seriously, I did just get heartburn)

Um...quick question...where is the money coming from again???

I'm confused. I know Oprah is rich and Bill Gates is rich and Warren Buffet is rich...

But I'm just not seeing how this math works. I really would love to see their spreadsheet.

Well, at least it won't be me paying extra taxes... I'm a student and then I will be beginning a field where I won't make squat for a couple of years...

SUCKERS!!

Sorry, don't blame me. I didn't vote for him. And I don't want to hear bitching about your tax bill next year if you did.

Ew...Gah...Why?

I don't care how rich, famous, and powerful the man is, nobody sober should be sleeping with David Letterman.

Gross.

I don't know how anyone can ignore the well...obvious...issues involved here.

I'm thinking blindfolds might have been involved.

Then again, this is why getting involved with someone for their money is just an impossibility for me. I would not be able to keep the bile down.

ugh-AH-ughicchhh...(shudder)(shudder)

WTF??

Changing Colors of Empire State Building to Honor the 60th Anniversary of Communist China. Does anyone else think there is something wrong with this picture???

It is just bizarre. When did we officially start supporting communist regimes with totalitarian governments??

I got two words: Tiananmen Square

They killed those protestors. They used tanks on their own people. And we forget.

I may be boring, but the hair is good...

I am in love with my new haircut.

And oh, wow am I boring.

Oh, well.. hee!
