XMAS

Magazine subscriptions are ruling holiday presents. It's too bad that Governor Shwarzeneger (sp?) denied Snoop Dogg's plea to change that Crip dude's sentence from death penalty to life in "prizzle." Conan made that joke and kept saying "What eez thees Preezle?" in an Arnold Voice. Try it. You'll love it.

Also: Here is what they are cutting to minimize the deficit: Medicaid, Medicare, Student Loan Subsidies, and Child Support. Oh, and they are promoting marriage. Okay....

Guilty Pleasure: Watched Mona Lisa Smile and liked it. Maybe it was the clothes. And it made smoking look cool and i love / hate when movies do that.

Little thing: They are bringing in Wildlife Experts from government to teach them how to disperse crows in upstate NY.

Big Thing: Essentially President Bush's warrantless phone tapping executive order (9/14/01) is the greatest fear of the creator's of the constitution. In the news today they brought up that since many of the people whose phones have been tapped did not know they were being spied on, they can't press charges. Checks and balances out the window. I think that Federal Judge Robertson who resigned is bueno.

Last thing: New Years Eve is my favorite holiday.

New Years Resolution: Dancing once a week as a cardiovascular workout. Suggestions where?

Maybe this is common knowledge to you, but if you didn't get the chance to read the news:

Things I Learned Reading the NY Times:
1. A fishing village in China protested against an illegal power plant that was going to take their land and pollute it. They made some gradeschool caliber bombs and the government shot at them. Now no one is allowed to talk about it. IN FACT: they are bribing the villagers to pretend all of the bodies with bullet holes are the product of their own bombs. Bribing them 15,000 dollars when they are poor. OH, and if you don't take the bribe they beat the shit out of you. You can't visit family in the hospital and they cut off all communication to Hong Kong, where they are allowed to publish the real story.

2. A Turkish author is being charged for slandering Turkish identity (against the law - including criticizing the state, government, army, etc.). He is a best selling author who is translated in 34 languages in trouble b/c he mentioned the slaughter of a million Armenians in 19 freaking 15 and the deaths of thousands of Kurds since the 1980's. WTF! And they want to be in the EU. Good luck.

3. A guy in Brazil invented the walkman and fought 25 years for the credit.

4. The Republicans and George Bush have been eavesdropping on thousands of conversations without warrants. (Recently-disclosed.) Enough of Congress is filibustering like hell to fight the renewal of the abusive post-9/11 laws. Oh, and I like McKain.

i am pretty sure that it is just the winter or something. everyday i draw a picture and write one page and i still feel like a bowl of cereal and i don't like cereal so much.

i don't have much faith that things just happen right. but i also can quite be convinced that anyone can make a story out of their life and just write it and rewrite it and fall in love with it or open or close it or add to it.

it must be the winter or something.

Musician Bums

Brian said that Wesley Willis inspired a whole new generation of "musician bums" to stop buying crack and buy casios.

And promote them.

Happy Beerday
My friend Brian is moving in with me if he pasts an exam for a school he wants to go to tomorrow. He is my friend my middle school and highschool.

Today he went with me to my father's birthday party.

My dad my mom moved to Jersey City because it's closer to their offices. It cuts the commute something like 80%. But what you don't know is that their building is like a dorm room and their friends always knock on the door to see what they are doing. They are having a huge Xmas party.

My dad's cake was chocolate chip and had blue icing that read "Mr. V. Happy Beerday." Apparently my dad loves brandy.
And my mom started taking sips of red wine.
