2009: it's about time.

So, my sister essentially emailed me a slap in the face saying "i occasionally check your blog and you havent posted to it in forever!"

well she's right, I havent.

It's about time.

Basically I have had a very interesting past few months, bringing to a close what has been an emotional year.

It all started with living at my last house, which as anyone who was around me during that time knows, was a living nightmare. But it was also a huge eye-opener that ultimately taught me ALOT about myself and who I was, but more importantly who I wasn't. In the end I'm glad i experienced it, not that I ever want to again.

After moving out, and into a wonderful new place, there was a brief period of pure awesomeness. "Fucking right, man" describes it all too well..

That was shortly followed by a period of great change, with alot of people moving and dispersing away. These were the people that really helped me learn about myself, by providing an escape from the house I was living in and the people I was surrounding myslef with.

This period of change has continued to progress and evolve, almost on a daily basis, to the point where I dont even know what an "average" day/week feels like anymore.

From supporting and harboring an out-of -control heroin addict, to pursuing and partaking in a secretive affair, my everyday felt like some fucked-up soap opera. Except in my episode, the main character was worried less about who was out to seek revenge on him, and more on making enough to eat and pay rent, as well as somehow obtaining Health insurance.



Tune in for a new episode, Friday @ 10:00/9:00 Central. Right after MacGyver.











The dark days of a Minnesota winter didnt help much either.

December crawled through, dragging 2008 with it, but only in the chronological sense.

2009 started with an encore of change; a new President. One who actually has a thought in his head that makes ANY sense.

Then my secondary job offered me a promotion that would require quitting the coffee shop I've worked at for over 2 years now. The coffee shop that shaped me entirely into the person I am now. Post-High School, sans College enrollment.

This was not as easy a change to get behind.



So what did I do? Where am I now?



I took the promotion, finally doing something for myself. A decision I would not have come to had I not gotten to where I am now as a result of the bullshit that led me here. Things are looking better because of that, and I'm starting to feel better.

Not to say that every things perfect yet.

As I sit and type this now, not 5 feet away still sits the aforementioned heroin addict on my couch.. Its about time he leaves.

annoyed.

i delcare that FOX news is a bunch of crap. as if that even needed to be said.

they claim they are your source for "fair and balanced" unbiased coverage on this election but yet they choose their words oh-so-carefully when reporting on things.

yesterday i was watching commentary on the recently completed RNC and FOX decided to show a group of Republican supporters waving flags. No harm done there.

And then they spoke.

"And here we show a group of McCain supporters waving flags they rescued from the DNC in Denver, that had been abandoned and left as garbage by the Democrats."

this makes me so sick. so out of the millions of mass-produced plastic american flags passed out, some were left behind or unused and were collected. but to word it as if Democrats unpatriotically threw them away, and that the Republicans had to come in and "rescue" them?
no class.

but wait, FOX is un-biased right?

after hearing this on TV i started looking on the internet for more information, and found this article by a FOX reporter about the flags, defending the Democrats and saying the flag situation was an attack by McCain at Obama.

I'm sorry, but being un-biased isnt reporting with two different viewpoints on the same topic, with each article attacking the opposite party. being un-biased means giving ONE impartial account of the topic stating only the facts without any judgemental emphasis.

FOX news can go fuck themselves.
