the things that julia cameron would have me say...
julia cameron, author of the artists way, among other books, is a proponent of what she calls "morning pages"...whereas you wake up in the morning and write down at least three pages of stream of consciousness thoughts - with the mindset that your censors aren't awake yet at that point, and what comes out onto the page is more honest at that time of day.
it is in this spirit that i offer up these thoughts today....
the red sox do not deserve to go to the world series.
nomar garciaparra should be riding the back of a garbage truck.
grady little should bench ortiz, nomar and mueller for their complete lack of productivity in the postseason for the last two games and put someone in who may stand a chance of moving baserunners.
the cubs do deserve to go to the world series, but they should take pudge with them. he's played his ass off.
the only reason george w hasn't been victim of at least one assassination attempt is that it would stick us with cheney.
when an american president can detain someone without charging them with a crime indefinitely, without access to a lawyer (please google jose padilla or consider the guantanamo bay debacle), what is it, exactly, that makes him a better man than saddam hussein?
how is it possible that more people in our country care more about who gets voted off the fuckin' island than the fact that our country has become exactly what we all profess to stand against in countries like iraq and others?
what fuckin' genius twisted our brains to accept the notion that "support our troops" translates to "send them away to die for dubious reasons"?
why is it that the same half dozen dumbasses here at work seem to account for over 70 percent of my time, spent fixing the same "i dunno what i did to it" problems?
so many questions...
i'm calling this AM to get a rental rate for whatever is gonna get the dubious distinction of getting me from points A-K this coming weekend. i think i'm gonna get a full week out of it, as wendys' car will in all likelihood be going in for service tomorrow. will be so glad when the vehicle situation is worked out. i loathe driving her car, and i've had no choice for the last couple of weeks, since the grover fatality - i need my elbow room, man, and i can't even reach my wallet when i'm sitting in her car.
perhaps by afternoon, there will be happier thoughts...
