I, Masochist
Back at The House tonight because of classes tomorrow. For those who haven't heard, I got the fun Spring Break vacation known as "wisdom teeth removal". On the whole the experience was about like a three day bender in Cancun, then waking up to find your kidney removed except than in my case I didn't get the benefit of the three days of drinking and instead of a kidney going to grace the insides of some anonymous mexican kid I had four teeth go by way of the "medical waste" facilities. At this point, the major hangover is gone, but the wooziness is still a factor, and the swelling, albeit less than its peak, with its connected pains is still a problem.
It's funny, but the only pain that actually kept my thoughts this week was the slowly dulling pain of the previous weeks' tests, and the soon to be sharp pain of this coming week's work. I'm finally starting to think that any school program that can make surgery look like a cakewalk is probably worth it. I'm also, sadly, starting to use war analogies for it, so let me apologise for those that will inevitably show up later in this post.
I've been thinking about this silent treatment I'm currently getting from any company I submit my resume to, or ask to even just contemplate my employment as a possibility. I'll admit it, my GPA says that I'm a mere average guy amongst a few brilliant giants here at Speed. At this point, I've come to terms that my colleagues in this school are all geniuses in their own right, and being average amongst them is fine with me. But, my resume, my website, and my writing ...
It's worse than that!
This was to be a comment, but the website didn't seem to be accepting it, and I thought it too good to waste.
Why is it you hear Repug after repug spout out their rehearsed and repetative "save life" over and over but you don't hear the wishes of Terri herself.
Because Terri herself doesn't matter. She never has to the Republicans. Their reason to be unjustly involved in this case is political and political alone, and that has to be the most selfish and demented facet of this situation. They couldn't given a damn about Terri's life... Unless it's able to give them a few more votes.
No no, if only it were about a few votes! These slimebags have these votes already! No, the reason there is so much focus on this is because it takes pressure off the real foci of these stupid times. Fox News can spend just short of 24 Hours spewing about this shit and reduce Darfur, the ongoing bullshit war with Iraq, Syria, Iran and whoever the fuck wants some after that, and every other real issue to a fifteen minute talking point in between rants between incomprehensible "journalists" with neither integrity nor balls.
Beyond that, the reason this shit is being broadcasted so much is it furthers their damn agendas! Darfur genocide doesn't help them block abortion and the people's control of their own lives here in this country like yelling about this vegetable can. It's the exact same reason the Peterson trial took 24 hours a day of time on Fox News. It's the exact same reason the Conservatives were clamoring for the head of Peterson on a pike. The sad and ironic part of this tale is that the lower ...
