How do I change the appearance of text and data?
Ok, I'm really getting sick of this, "Human's are naturally good!" b.s. We're definately not altruistic (in fact, I'd wager MOST of us are self-serving in everything we do) and we're not looking out for the greater good of humanity. It really pisses me off when people say things like, "If they would just talk, it would resolve everything!" Yeah, that's great. Assuming whoever 'they' are WILL talk. Most of the time, them won't. And they DEFINATELY won't listen to reason if anything's at stake.
It seems like humanity's default state is conflict (that's between Vermont and Main). In general, our ability to empathize with anything other than our pets is nil. We don't like to do it. So this idea that Communism, absolute peace, and the new Hardees Monster Thick Burger are actually achievable is something that I really don't agree with. Don't get me wrong, they're beautiful ideals. But that's all they are. The USSR didn't fail because Russians are greedy. It failed because PEOPLE are greedy.
And Hardees? Dude. I really want to try one of those burgers and give myself a heart attack. Damn.
Well, it's already been a LONG morning.Last night was crazy. The guys came over and we played cards for most of the night. The game really didn’t get rolling until about 10:30pm and since there were 6 of us there, it was hard to get anyone to really bid high. Finally, after 3 hours, there was some progress and Tim and I took out Adam, Ahniwa, Adrian, and then Joseph. Loads of fun!
Needless to say, some beers were consumed last night. My Beer to Sleep ratio is severely off right now. I’m drinking coffee but that’s just making me strung out. I’m kinda hopin that the bagel with cream cheese I’m eating will do the trick. We’ll see how it works.
I hate early Cheryl Crow. That song, “All I wanna do,” makes me wanna do a little homicidin’. But I’m really too tired right now. I need a nap.
So, now that I have all kinds of crazy tracking mechanisms all over my blog, I’m very excited to see where y’all come from. You cannot hide from me forever.
And Kevin. Listen man. I don’t care what your girlfriend says, that outfit makes you look like a lesbian.

This post makes me want to read "notes from underground" again. The little Dostoevsky I carry around in my heart is smiling! The end of conflict is zero kelvin, death. Not only is it an impossible feat for humans to achieve, but c'mon. How would we learn anything about ourselves were it not for adversity, conflict, rough patches in the road? "Perfection" seems such a silly ideal to aspire to when Jerry Springer and the like are so popular...
It's like Mike D. says, "til you're back's up against the wall, you never know yourself that much at all!" And also Ted, it's like Sheryl Crow says. "until the sun comes up over santa monica boulevard."
