Do not come near me if you are fucking crazy, have issues, hate men, hate women, hate your father, are spoiled, and have memory issues about what you told me last month vs. what you're trying to tell me today.

Just tell me who, what, where, when and how. I don't give a fuck about why. I don't want gifts, I don't want applause, I don't want to be "friends." I just want to get paid what I'm due and not have to listen to you whine all fucking morning, afternoon, evening and again at 11:30 pm.

Get therapy or get the fuck out of my FACE!!!!

Jesus H, every damned lunatic on the face of the planet has been in my face for 3 days now. BACK OFF, DUDES!!!

FUCKERS! ! !

I attended a protest in Sarasota Fl yesterday and two speakers mentioned protest fatigue.

One speaker, Aidan Delgado, a former Iraq war soldier who has been speaking all over the country about his experience in Abu Graib, told me he is exhausted and frustrated. Here we are four years into a war, crimes being investigated and proven surrounding George Bush and his administration, no health care, a corporate media who will not cover protests or tell the truth and still, the oil companies are calling the shots.

Another speaker, Fred Atkins, black (I hate to differentiate here) mayor of Sarasota and anti-war protester from the 60's blasted us for being in the same situation 40 years later. He did not want our applause, he did not want our drumming. He wanted us to recognize our responsibility for the way the world is right now: Iraqi's being murdered, our soldiers being murdered, people going hungry, no health care. He said we all sat back after Viet Nam ended and became complacent because things that were happening weren't happening to us.

We all sat stunned. The truth hurt. We're all experiencing protest fatigue. . .nothing we do is changing. And yet, I can't give up. I know you all can't give up. But there is more to be done. It's time to get down and dirty. They think they can wear us out. Yesterday's coverage of the marches just pissed me off more.

And then I watched Patti Smith on VH1. Revolution.

Just sayin' what's on my mind today.

Peace, dudes.

that is either negative, headspinning, absolute confusion, or infuriating. He is a vacuum of idiocy. He makes me want to skin myself alive. What state of delirium will he put us in now with his infantile vocabulary? Why I let this juvenile untreated alcoholic take up such room in my head is beyond admitting myself into a state mental hospital.

Here's the story....

We just moved to this area. Our landlord and his wife were raving about our nextdoor naeighbors and how we should all get together for dinner sometime. Note: our landlord and his lovely wife are fundies. Continuing, our landie and his wife go on vacation leaving our neighbors to feed their cats. We had not yet met the neighbors.

One day, Mr. Gray is at the mailbox getting the mail when he hears "Hello there" from across the lawn. It's the guy neighbor. He walks over and introduces himself. Turns out, he's an old drinking buddy from our old neighborhood back home (and I mean INSANE DAYS of drinking, drugs, petty crime, etc.) So they start reminiscing about the old days. I vaguely remember the guy, mainly because I was either tripping on acid or downing ludes, but he smelled somewhat familiar. Needless to say, he's cleaned up his act...has a nice house..his wife is nice.

We end up spending an evening with them which I cut short and sped home to watch Rockstar: Supernove, but not before telling them "yes, I really dig blues clubs, and yes I've been to Horsefeathers to see Bob Seibel" (another drunken friend of ours who makes a living as a comedian).

See, these little interchanges with people always gets me roped into socializing when I want nothing beter to do than stay home and watch the Shat get roasted tonight. Damn.

I have never liked the guy. I can't find a definite reason. My dislike started when Gore chose him as a running mate and the more he opens his mouth, the more I can't stand him.

But for me there was a dislike of the guy right from the start. It's a deep revulsion, like a reaction to toxicity, like swallowing kaopectate, or purging...or watching someone else throw up.

I can't think of any other democrat that does the same thing to my stomach lining. Well, there was Zell, but he's a crazy old coot. I dunno, maybe it's just a chemical reaction.
