Betsy
You were the first person i met at college who never took it upon herself to advise constantly, critique critically, and judge quickly. You were in all honesty my first friend here in our little college town world, one we both have known for much longer than necessary. You offered a smile, a hug, the best advice anyone could get, and great Thai soup!
I realized the other night at your place that i missed hanging out, talking, and sharing the silence of the slide library. I knew things werent going so good last spring and i wasnt there. I am sorry. Friends are suppsed to be there. Listening to you and jackie talking about your summer together made me sad, i wish i had been there, but i will not dwell because we are back together, again, for another year. I cant wait! Thanks for being you, never change! -tim

War is the oppositte of peace. Disturbance, of tranquility. Right and Wrong. The difference is that the people in charge, those who are supposed to lead, take charge and show the world what the other 280 million Americans stand for. I have a problem with the current leadership and the strong, but quiet, undercurrent of anti-establishment, anti-policy, anti-war, anti-capitalism. We are denounced as heretical, unpatriotic, and evil; while those in charge, the ones empowered by the wisdom of experience, make the 'right' choices. This is tragically untrue and very dangerous. It would be different if there were a dialogue between groups, exchanges of ideas and nfo not linked to politics and partisanship. Instead, George W. Bush, President of USA, states that he will declare war on Iraq when he sees fit, and does not have to tell th epublic, they dont need to know. I find this greatly disturbing. More people should too.

i have hqad much time to think lately, like two months of unemployment, but i realized several interesting and possibly disturbing facts about my life. firstly, that i care about the worl;d, the peoples of it, and whats going to happen to it in the future. it has been hard to justify my studies and the time spent looking at news and listening to npr and talking to people who just dont get it that my brain hurts, more like is saddened into a stupor. another is the fact that i really do not miss my friends from school or wish to go back to them, i wish to go back to school, just not deal with them. this is paramount, my inability to clearly articluate what i have wrong with peole, especially those who are supposed to be my friends. i bottle it in, smile, keep going, like your supposed to, whhat is the point of getting bogged down is superfluous chatter that means nothing by morning. (by the by, watching Last of the Mohicans, good flick) I, Chingachkook, last of the mohincans, i love the end, sad but fulfilling. back to my rants, which i promise i will try and keep to a minimum. a gaggle of my friends have online journals at livejournal. now, this can be a good way to keep in touch and update the comings and goings of people, but really it has turned into a major bitch fest for people who should say it straight at the horses mouth, so to speak. but no, they hide their problems and complaints and run back to their computers to scream and cry about what he or she said, blah blah blah. so, i loibve the blogger revolution, hopefully it will shy away from this melodramatic crap and focus in things from the heart, serious or not ,and ways people are dealing, not throwing blames around. so, with that said, i will now end my rant with the last bitch fest here on my blog. My three friends and i got the first pick in the housing draft this year at my school, which is A HUGE deal i beleive, because we were able to get a house!!! the problem is, we had to trim the fat, or should i say the lesser qualified people in our group to meet the 4 person requirements. two people had to go, and they werent really original picks that we had originally, they were filler. so, we got the house, they werent in on it, the one took it fine, the other decided to act like a selfish baby. now, he did not say abyhing, including when we asked him, he justy said, ok, well, he was quiet and shy and blah blah, and then proceeds to make this huge deal of it using his journal. how immateur! I am all for freedom of speech and our rights and all, but PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP!!

so i like movies, all kinds, and would watch anything once. in my fantasy world, I am a defender of freedom (true freedom) during the day and a movie critic by night. when asked what movie is my favorite, i ahve no reply; i have a list. see, i do not wished to be labeled or hedged back in a any way. the list is long, my opinions many and varied, and there is always a tinge of sarcasm mixed with laughter and a smile. i am 22, and have many 'friends', at home and at college, but i have always known, like in some film noir about a man with amnesia or a secret adoption or switch, that i rarely beling with my family or circle of friends (good movie by the by). instead, i was planted in my life as an alien experiment, or a dark city-esque reality where i fall asleep every night and poof, wake up as someone else; without a clue, because i have new memories and a new life. so, i dare to step out from the security again, and partake of this quasi-real reality, hoping to live to its fullest limits.

Ok, Got it, now feel free to SHOUT IT OUT!

Well, having found out that there is, as of yet, no comments part to blogger, I found one to use but I cannot seem to get the html type code to work that puts it onto my page, perhaps I will try yacca or another. I would like people to be able to comment on my blogs because I think that it is important.
7:56 PM
Ok, so now I have to decide what I am going to write about. I am currently on summer break from college, entering my senior year in the fall, and I have been an online diary user at opendiary (before they become communists) and I frequent livejournal (where many friends of mine have journals). I heard about blogging from a New York Times article and was instantly attratced to the new pamphleteer of the furture, as the article put it. My main interests lie in politics, the environment, social issues, movies, reading, and online gin to name a few! Because I am a double major in poli sci and sociology, many of my posts will be about our government, the many problems i have with it and current events/issues. Oh yeah, and I am an NPR FANATIC!
1:30 PM
First Post: New to this whole blog thing, but very excited. Interested in global thoughts, such as politics, the environment, social issues, and of course, blogging!
