   So little time... so much to say... (wait a sec! that should be turned around... ahhh forget it)

I plan on getting part two (the second half of chapter one) of Luna Spetre posted sometime this weekend. Where it goes from there... who knows. I have yet to type more, but I will. I have a good feeling about this story, I really do. So, to break the monotony of my most recent posts, I will be writing some poetry again. Jump for joy those of you that this can apply to. ^^ Other than that, it's the same old same old routine of work and type work and type. It seems that I'm getting fairly good at this routine now. The ppl at the library now know me by name even though I never told them it. But... it's not like it's that difficult to check my member # on their roster eh? I'm dead tired, but I'm in a good mood. Paycheck gets here tomorrow, so I'll be financially set for a short period of time. WHEEE! Ok, some of you may be thinking, "What's he on?" by now but I can assure you I am perfectly fine. *thinks* Well, hmmm... maybe something is wrong with me but WHAT... EVER... Don't care. There's always something wrong with me and almost always I care too much eh? I still have the same melodramatic, egotistical, caring but evil, dark heart I have always had and that'll never change. I just have to say... RISPERDAL IS GREAT!!! Now that I have officially brainwashed myself, I believe I should get a move on to today's topic eh? Ummm... *thinks* what was it? There was a topic... there's almost always never a topic with me but today there is one. *thinks more* WARNING: if boredness sets in easily for the reader, please scroll down till the text changes white... which would be the poem of the day. ^^ Thank you for your cooperation. TOPIC TIME Politics and the whole shit & shabang! @.@ "Did he just say what I think he did?" Okay... the following consists of my opinions, views, beliefs, bigotry, and all out whacked mind and is not to be taken seriously unless you share an opinion of mine. Then I'd gladly discuss it with you. That said... please continue reading my rant and remember that I try to choose my words wisely. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY? It seems to take a large crisis for people to band together to help their fellow countrymen. On 9/11 we saw the same thing as we are seeing now with the situation down in New Orleans. The people of the country getting together to help those in need. I think it is great that it happens... but what about when there is no crisis. How many people in this world take the opportunity to shell out just a few bucks to a charity when everything is running well? Definitely not as many as when there is a crisis. There is more of a need for it now... but I'm just saying. It goes to show how ugly our society has become overall. Where we only poke our heads out of our own little worlds long enough to make a difference when the "need" arises. But let's not forget about the thousands upon thousands of ALREADY homeless americans that have been trying to get by for a long time now. We seem to muster all this money to assist something that needs it, which I am proud of. I'm glad to call myself part of a company that donated over $20 million dollars to aid in the rescue operation and clean up down in New Orleans. There is someone that I still consider a friend that lived there... but... how come our government doesn't show this much resolve to help those that need it before they "need" it? Homless shelters and pantrys are great, but do I see the U.S. legislature passing a bill to involve the government in the assistance of building houses for the homeless individuals of New York City? Unless I'm blind... no! I think there should be a more efficient program that helps those who are in need of help. I'm not a politician so I don't know how that could happen but it seems to me like the government is telling America "If you're a victim of a natural disaster we'll lend you a hand, but if life hands you a raw card... you're shit out of luck buddy!" Now as for me... I have donated $30 desperately needed dollars of my own to help those in New Orleans and the other victims of Hurricane Katrina. I don't know how that money will be spent, but it seems that it will be used well. Many down there need it more than I do. That brings me to the subject of the oil problems. Katrina wasn't the only thing. Bush is almost happy in my opinion that this tragedy did take place. Yeah... I'm sure he has a heavy heart for the victims... but think of his wallet! An oil guru... who just happens to be leading a country that has oil prices skyrocketing worse than many of you who will read this have ever seen? OH! He's got to be getting rich and he's even trying to enforce it too! Threatening Hawaii with a military occupation force to enforce "gas rates". The state was thinking of it's own individual economy Bush... not your pocket change! It's almost like a fellow football player telling another that if he doesn't cough up his lunch money he's gonna have the rest of the team beat his ass! Does that sound right to you? I'd hope not unless you're the one running the country. If the guy is concerned about finances... I think the government can handle it a little easier than the people. That's what taxes are for right? Paying the expenses of the government? I'd better stop before I continue... Those of you who can, I urge you to donate what you can afford to the Red Cross. The victims of Katrina need it. And... if you find out that you have a bit more at your disposal... try giving it to the United Way or the nearest homeless shelter. I'm sure they'd be just as appreciative. If you read through this... please leave me a comment. American Red Cross Donations Untitled Shadowing a heart long forgotten Bleeding deep and feeling rotten So many things that my mind dreads A burden that holds the weight of lead I know what I seek and what I fear Those memories growing closer, almost near Can I deal with pain... the past heartache it's from? Or will I torment myself for years to come? Time is such a wondrous and powerful thing For now my mind wanders... free of everything
