Last year, I put on quite a show in my Live Journal in which I bitched and moaned about the shortcomings of this great land of ours. This year, I'm still just as pissed about the same things, but I'm going to try to look at the bright side. First and foremost, I am grateful for the ability to be pissed off and have the opportunity to use any space ( Read more... )

I should be a lot happier than I am, but instead I'm trapped within the confines that I have put myself in. I'm pissed that I only have myself to blame.

"July is going to be kick-ass..."

When I last left you, I was uber-confident about July being the best month ever (or something)...

So far, not so good.

Luther Vandross died today at the age of 54. At first I refused to believe it had happened, because I heard the news from a radio station notorious for giving out false information, especially of ( Read more... )

And now it's already near the end of the week?

I've been home for almost a month?

This is crazy...

... lunacy...

My birthday's coming up.

I need to start planning.

Today, in a disappointing - in my opinion - move by twelve unbiased members of a jury, Michael Jackson was found not guilty of all charges against him.

Disappointing, you ask? Of course! First of all, it's another example of the not-so-age-old theory that people with money can get away with just about anything, but to a higher extent, today's ( Read more... )

All right, so today, something else dawned on me: My patience for people and things has shot to hell!!

Now, I've become everything I never thought I'd be, and don't really like. I've become one of those take-it-or-leave-it, love-me-or-hate-me people! I figured it out today, when I was coming back from lunch, coffee, and the beach with Megan. I kept ( Read more... )
