No! Really! I'm not dead. Despite what my recent activity on this blog would suggest. I'm just struggling with the whole work/life/blog balance.
Should I rest or blog? Should I eat or blog? Should I play with the kids or should I blog? These are the tough questions of life.
Anyway ... it's been bachelorville around here for me since Sami and the kids took off to the Outer Banks. That's OBX to all you obnoxious bumpersticker owning suburbanites. As expected, the dishes are piled high in the sink. The grass looks like a jungle (although that's much more the weather's fault than my bachelor sloth).
Without the family here, I barely crawled out of bed in time to catch the bus this morning. It's only for the fact that I work in big-time corporate America now that I've even bothered to shave for the last three days.
What else is going on? Hmm?
Oh, yeah! Politics. Very little new there though. Bush is still a corporate slave who started an illigitimate war to make up for a complete lack of either a foreign or domestic agenda. And Kerry ... well, Kerry, despite a 2000 election that left half the population of this country feeling just a tiny bit disenfrancshised, is not even capable of poling that same 50% who voted democratic.
His hang-dog face, constant brandishing of his service in Vietnam, and utter lack of substantial policy or agenda (Hey guys! Vote for me; I'm not George Bush.) is wearing thin on me already. Why the hell is he not hammering Bush on the war, the economy, civil rights abuses, erosion of international trust. He and his people are clueless. And when the Republican political machine truly starts rolling after the Democratic Convention next week, it will only get worse.
Guess what John? I'm not Bush either, but that doesn't mean anyone should vote for me. Same goes for you bucko! Get out there and say something! Anything! And don't make anymore ridiculous claims about creating 3 million jobs a year or punishing companies that outsource. It ain't going to happen and you know it! Act like you have something to lose.
It's so fucking ridiculous that this race has ever been close. It's even more ridiculous that, at this rate, Bush will be in the Whitehouse come Jan. '05. And, if you think the last four years have been bad, just wait until you see how the Bushies run this place without having to worry about relection.
Boy, it's quiet around here.
