9:08 pm	So this is bringing civility back to Congress?? I think this one speaks for itself: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0707/4985.html My favorite part of the article is where it states that Democrats are being directed "to blitz their states with anti-Bush messages as the Senate gears up for an all-night debate on Iraq withdrawal," which goes to prove that in order to win an argument about something, you must first completely ruin the character and perception of your opponent. Can we not have a debate based solely on the facts alone? You people claim to be so high and damn mighty, yet you stoop to these tactics? It's about time that people saw through your bullsh*t and recognize you for the hypocrite, power-hungry individuals you really are. I'm done for now... Current Mood: mischievous (Comment on this)

9:06 pm	On the Global Warming Bandwaggon Well, I give in. Seriously. I am now an advocate for the cause of Global Warming. After seeing all the evidence (you know, the movies and newspaper articles and speeches by politicians who clearly know more about everything than me) I have come to the conclusion that Global Warming is real.  As I was taking my dog out this morning, a balmy 50 degree July morning, it suddenly hit me: Wow, it's burning up out here! Wait, wait, that couldn't be it. Let me try again. When I was taking my dog out this afternoon when I got home from work, and stepped out into the balmy 80 degree weath-- no no, this can't be right either. Damn. Guess I'm just not noticing that extra 10th of a degree. Anyway, that aside... Global Warming is real! Celebrities tell me so! So if they are saying it's true, then it must be true right? I truly believe that it exists, and that the scientific evidence proves that it is real, and that it will cause a worldwide disaster in the next few decades. I mean, come on, lets be serious here, they are using the same forecasting model that is used by meteorologists around the world every day to predict the weather. You know which one I'm talking about, right? The one they used to predict all those terrible hurricanes last year? Or that nice sunny day that turned out to be a rainy mess? My golf day, remember? My point, simply, is that we cannot even predict the weather pattern five minutes into the future, much less years down the road. And of course this whole thing just couldn't be a natural phenomenon. Just ask Mars. He's heating up almost the same amount as Earth, but in its case it is explained away as a difference in orbits and the wobbling of the planet. Right. Good to see Brother Mars can explain it away, while Mother Earth is basically screwed. Guess it's kind of hard with no humans on Mars, huh? Maybe it's those pesky Transformers (Anyone seen that yet? Looks good. Nothing like transforming robots that blow the crap out of things...) It's like telling two people with skin cancer that one was caused by the Sun, and the other from eating too many Twinkies.  I'm done for now. More sarcasm to come later. Trust me, I'm full of it ;) **Side Note** What??! There's no "sarcastic" mood on this thing?? WTF? HOW CAN I SURVIVE WITHOUT A SARCASTIC TAG!!!!!!

8:40 pm	What?? You're still alive?!?! Yeah... so I haven't written to this thing in a loonnnnnnnnnnng friggin' time. Lets see, so what have I been doing since that time? Oh, right, I have a life :) Well, most of the time, anyway. And I was in school. Not anymore, though. Finally gradeated (yeah, that's right, I said it!). So, lets reflect a little bit, shall we? Last time I wrote in this was, err, about three years ago. (Thanks again, Mary, for getting me pseudo-hooked on this thing. Do you even write in this anymore? How's the west treating you?) Lets see, I don't think too much has happened in that time. Nope, not much at all. Two promotions, a new house, a dog, a fiancee-like person, lots of liquor, tons of miles on my car (kilometers for you foreigners). My family ditched me, it snows a lot (except for the summer, when the darn grass just doesn't stop growing). Do you know how much it costs to put in a damn fence?? A LOT! Yeah! So whomever said "it's cheaper to own than rent" was a jackass. There, I said it. But all sarcasm aside...  Looking back on my former posts, I see now how bitter and jaded I was. Ahh, how things change. Good thing that I've grown since then. Now I know a lot better than I ever did before. So, here are my words of wisdom: People are stupid, so don't trust them. It's not cynicism, I just hate everyone until I get to know them :) Oh, by the way, the spell check on this thing sucks! Current Mood: nauseated (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:44 pm	Sooooo what's new?!? Okay, so I'm kind of a slacker when it comes to writing in this thing. Sue me ;) So what's new with me? Not a damn thing. Okay, so that's not true, but I am quite lazy when it comes to doing this, so I obviously won't be writing much. Anywhooo... so I've been having wierd dreams about work lately. The last two nights I've dreamed that I've resigned, then at the last second decided to stay, almost begging for my job back. I am clueless what that means. Maybe I'm not s'possed to be leaving anytime soon? Could be. Or maybe I'm just really paranoid... Okay, that's it for now. Maybe more later. :P (Comment on this)

10:31 pm	What lies beneath... There are many secrets we all hide. There are things which we do not want others to know. Why? Why are we so embarrassed by who we are? Today I was brought to the realization that I should not hide from myself. However bad I think I may be, however messy or slobish I think I am, people love me just the same. And in fact, I may not even be as bad as I may think. So why do we hide from ourselves? Is it a matter of pride? Do we not want people to know our true selves in fear that they will leave us for someone else? That is something I have struggled with, and now I am able to understand that I really have nothing to worry about. For no matter how many secrets I may have, there are others with far more. I will no longer keep as many secrets from those for whom I care. But I'll still keep all the juicy ones to myself ;) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:06 pm	(Random swear words) Okay, so to be nice I built a computer for someone (not really TOO nice, given that I charged over $800 for the thing, but still...) and of course I have to be the good boy and do support for this damn thing. I wouldn't ordinarily mind, but when I have to get phone calls at all hours of the day, it gets ANNOYING! Well, now that THAT is off my mind... Today was another typical day at work. Idiots not knowning what they're doing, my life being made even more difficult. And for some reason I'm having these 'mini-fits' where I am getting annoyed for no good reason (except that stupidity gets tiring after a while). Hrmmm, what the heck else happend to me today? Besides losing half my football pool yesterday (damned Raiders!!!) I wonder if anyone is ever going to read these journals, or if I'm just doing them for my own devices... either way, at least they will prove invaluable at my insanity trial :) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:29 pm	Why am I... At what point do I stop being nice? I have to be honest, I have had very few kudos lately for being nice. Not that I am looking for any, but c'mon... I see it all the time, a total assbag gets the girl and I get stuck holding the bag. So what motivation do I have for being nice? Ah yes, because I am always a good friend. But never fear, I am told, for when women are older it is the nice guys for whom the they will care. Fantastic. Why don't I wait until I am 50 before I can find a girl? By that time I won't be able to get it up anyway, right? I am 25 years old. I am single. I am nice. That is the best way to describe me. I am nice not in order to get somewhere with someone (a concept which is hard for many to understand in this world), rather that I am morally inclined to be nice. But at what point does this end? Will I finally snap and stop being nice? Will I lose my moral fiber in an effort to become more loved? But then is that really love? How can someone love another who is mean, who is abusive, when there is someone else out there who is perfectly nice and will treat them right? But yet how many times have I been rejected? "I like you as a friend...", I am always told. And the next time I see them they are with the biggest ass imaginable. "But they are nice on the inside", I am told. Is that before or after he treats you like sh*t? With how many girls has this occurred? Wow... I've lost count by now... Ahh, this has happened to me so much you think I'd be used to it! My last gf left me for someone who would treat her like crap and then she got knocked up by him. But hey, that's life, right? Maybe someday I'll find The One. Or I'll live alone for all time in a small cabin writing my 'novel' while trying to take down 'the man'. Either way, ain't life a trip?!? :) Mary, thanks for introducing me to this, I forgot how much I love writing :) (Comment on this)
3:46 pm	Hmmm... Well, after much pestering by Mary, I now have a Live Journal. Whatever shall the Penguin write in it? My personal feelings about those for whom I care deeply? Or perhaps about the regrets in my life? Philosophies of my own making? Or should I just bitch and complain about everything? To tell the truth, probably a mixture of it all. So what is Penguin doing? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, I mean, I'm breathing, of course. Blood is flowing. But as far as activity is concerned, I am being quite lazy today. Watching a lil' football and doing laundry. What a nice lil' life I have conjured up for myself eh? Well such is the nature of life. If it is my destiny to sit here on the couch, then I'm doing a damn good job! :) Okay, well that's it. I'm done for now. I'll rant a little more later. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
