My wallet quivers with Fear!

So, haven’t had much to write about lately but I'm sure it will only be a few hours before I hear something on the radio or see something on a news site that will hurt my brain and I will need to begin the healing process by talking about it. I just have to mention that my car is on less than a quarter of a tank and I will have to buy gas soon. Oh, the horror. I drive a 1992 Toyota Camry. Its the luxury Edition and is all nice and comfy if you a midget but anyway... Why oh why would you give a 4 cylinder car a 19 gallon gas tank! Seriously, it might be even bigger but I have put over 18 gallons of gas in it before so its huge. What’s worse? I HAVE to put the good gas into it, if I put regular or mid grade, the car starts acting sluggish and "Pinging" as I was told. I almost wonder if someone put an aftermarket gas tank on it but either way I'm probably going to be paying around 3 dollars a gallon. Figuring ill probably put 16 gallons of gas in my car at where the gage is... $48.... OUCH! That's going to suck. Doesn’t help that I drive near 60 miles to and from work every day. I know its big news everywhere, and everyone seems to have a theory why its happening which is interesting because everyone including different news agencies have different opinions on why its so high. Unfortunately with all that I’m not even going to guess right now but most everyone in one way or another seems to be blaming oil companies and on the radio there is a lot of talk about gouging. I don’t know right now I’m still a bit too tired of the B.S. to wade around the bullshit on the web to try and find a cohesive answer. Maybe ill feel like it and post about what I find later.


Something I was bored and made:

60 miles Per day too and from work

x

5 times a week

+

30 miles on weekend (conservative estimate)

=

330 Miles per week

/

24 mpg (Average mileage since I filled my car last on my 4banger)

=

13.75 Gallons a week

x

$3 a gallon

=

41.25 dollars a week if prices stay the same, guess its not too bad as long as I don’t drive extra, glad I drive a small car.

Speaking of Pain in the Brain

I've been feeling kind of detached from the conservative world, now not saying that’s a bad thing but I was curious what there arguing points are and wanted to figure out how best to talk with people and to try and understand where there getting there view points. Most of my friends are pretty liberal on most subjects and most of the ones were conservative on we agree about. So ya I found out where not to look for the conservative rights thinking... The Internet.
It all started with thismodernworld.com bringing up Ann Coulter is putting out a new book. I’ve always considered this woman a joke and imagine she considers herself one as well but knows it will rake in the money. So I thought this would be an interesting thing to look at and see the comments on Amazon by readers and people who liked the book. Oh gods the things I found. Most of the posts were actually people making fun of the woman which didn't surprise me but then I found one that had 33 posts and had been there the longest, I made it about 3 comments the before the pressure in the front of my brain began. Now here is the post that someone made.

In the Republican Party, one distinguishes oneself as "godly" by attacking those who are allegedly "ungodly." This is especially effective if this "ungodly" individual supports gay rights, helping the poor, environmental protection, and/or a decent living wage for all.

Then it started...

Yes and in the Democratic Party one distinguishes oneself by, killing babies, spitting on soldiers, burning American flags and embracing such fine individuals as Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro. I'm glad that there are people like yourself J.E. Bishop who fell obligated at a moments notice not only to judge others of different beliefs but to insult them as well. You could really help yourself if you bothered for a second to learn something about the party you so vehemently oppose instead of watching George Clooney movies and jumping on the bandwagon.

It continued on, going back and forth between liberals and conservatives after that but the responses from the conservatives just continued to cause the pain in the front of my head to grow and then I figured out what the pain was. It was the vacuum caused by there posts lack of intelligence and thought tugging on my brain trying to suck it through a tiny whole out into the dark abyss that was the void in there own brains like a space ship with a needle thin whole slowly having the life giving oxygen pulled out into the void of space.
I eventually stopped reading and decided I was going to pull a brain muscle if I kept it up, my ability to empathize with people usually being pretty strong could no were near help me wrap my brain around that at this moment. So I'm going to go back and try some less strenuous articles, maybe watch Fox News... We will have to see if I can handle that and then work my way up so that maybe if I run into one of the people who spout out nonsense like above I can actually have a conversation with them than rather walking up to them and poke them in the shoulder and saying "wow... you people really do exist... I just though you were anomalies online"

Boom

I don't know if anyone else gets this way but lately every now and then when I turn on Air America or even the News and gods forbid if I look at news web pages I begin to feel a pressure build. It starts right behind my eyes and gets stronger and stronger, and I know what this pressure is but I don’t know how best to describe it. It could be called outrage, horror, disbelief but what ever it is, I am wondering if I don’t get my tolerances up to deal with messed up things are my brain is going to explode like in a bad action movie. Or maybe ill just pop a fuse and my co workers or roommates will just hear a thump and see me lying on the floor my eyes dull and be sent to a home where I become one of those comatose people sitting in a chair staring out a window with a bib on to catch my drool.
I know it is a little early in my blog to say this but this is what runs through my brain some times. I just wonder how much one can take. I believe people can adapt and there bull crap tolerance can rise, I mean its been building and building so I know my tolerance has gone up for what I can take which is sad but it keeps me sane. I just cant imagine the year 1999 me showing up now like coming out of a coma and hopping on the computer and looking through all the news I’ve missed and reading the Blogs I do read. Well I can imagine it but it only ends in the scenario I mentioned above. And I can only imagine myself lasting till about 2002's news before it happens. I only really started to get interested and have access to the news around the 2000 election and not at the level I pay attention to it till 2002, I just wonder was there ever a time that this wouldn’t have been happening to me. I just have a hard time imagining how it was for all the people who have been involved in politics and watching the news and following what’s going on in our government for 10 years or more. I just wonder if the government has always been this messed up? Or is this just hitting the ridiculous point. I don’t know enough about how things work evidentially because I keep expecting after hearing these things that the president does or his cronies or some new fact we find out that something is changing.

I keep thinking tomorrow I’m going to hear how the senate and house stood up and called bullshit and are investigating. Or how huge numbers of people are marching around the capitol and demanding the president resign and its actually having an effect. I keep thinking this next new bit coming out is going to raise a huge public outcry and it’s going to be all over the news stations. And then I'm wrong, Bush gives a bullshit answer and a shrug and everyone just drops it. The news just drops it saying " ahh the shrug explains it all" and then treats anyone who still thinks that its still something we should be thinking about it on there shows like there just crazies. I hope my bullshit tolerance continues to go up because we still have awhile to go before this nightmare may end. I know this is a rehash sortof of a past post but I just realy didnt know what else to say right now.

I know I'm a geek... but I want this shirt! This is great

Thursday, April 06, 2006

Time for my first official blog post. I’m probably from now on mostly going to be talking about the news, partially because it drives me nuts a lot since I sit here at work and between calls read about it.
Ok, why haven’t we impeached Bush yet? I mean seriously now there has been so much evidence that this guy has broken this laws in so many ways and so many times. Here now there’s evidence he informed his vice presidents to have his aid leak confidential information, before that there was the fact he ADMITED he broke the law with his domestic spying policy when he could have easily gotten secret after the fact warrants but chose not to because he believed he has the right to break the law just to make things easier for him. If that wasn’t enough there is Downing Street memo, which completely got swept under the carpet by the media. If the media was really liberal then why weren’t they on that like white on rice. There is still information coming out about how Bush lied his way into this war and planned since he was elected to make up a reason to get back at Hussein for making his daddy look bad. Evidently the only way to get impeached in this country is to get a blowjob from an intern.
