I feel like such a bum.

Not enough coffee on the planet to bring me into the world right now.

Last cigarette, too.

Know what I'd like to see? GW housing some refugees in the White House. In his presidential quarters, even! I guess it's good enough to know that there are some in "his Texas," most likely permanently (how could they flee again, even if they wanted to, without the means to buy their way out?). Because, you know, George Bush doesn't care about black people.

I wish I had a photo to go along with this post.

Wearing a bracelet I found on the ground. I'm embracing ugly things today. This trinket is no exception.

I feel a little sick to my stomach. The last time I vomited was when we had everyone over for the party and I drank and smoked pot and then woke up the next day still drunk, puked, and had a gatorade. Which I promptly spewed back into a large plastic cup. I thought I would keep it down... It's weird to think back on that session with fondness.

I have a really long list of things I'm going to do. My presumption is that I will only do about five percent of these things. At least I'm pretty certain I'm going to cook chicken tonight. And go to Planned Parenthood. The poetry? not so definite. The latin jazz music? probably not for a long time. The letter to my father? most likely not at all. Hair dye, now that is something we can pencil in.

I missed the bus again today.

yes... hindsight is 20/20
well, actually, I always said that I never wanted to start before I ever lit my first ciggy....
I KNEW BETTER AND STILL FELL FOR THE TRAP.

Just a warning, children: beware of evil tobacco's VILE CLAWS

Smoking is bad.

Planned Parenthood = free condoms = free Nuvaring = good

Yeah, yeah, every cigarette I smoke takes twelve minutes off my life. I'm going to have to waste a whole hour just smoking off the anxiety that replying angrily to that comment on NOLA, however... SO THANKS SCOTT :D

I agree with Kanye West 100%, especially the part about how on TV they show black people and say they're "looting," and white people are just trying to gather their belongings/flee town/look for food. And I wouldn't necessarily say that George Bush doesn't care about black people, but more like he doesn't care about those black people. The poor black people who don't own their homes and live paycheck to paycheck. I think Bush sees those people the same way a lot of people see them...as people who mooch off the government. I think they figure..."Hey, we've given them so much help up to this point, let's see how they deal with life on their own. After all, they had warnings...they knew Katrina was coming...why didn't they leave town?" They don't even think about all the reasons why people couldn't leave (no transportation, nowhere to go, no money, etc.). And that's the real problem, I think.

Well said. Both you and Kanye :)
It's true, and I'm sick of people saying "MOTHER NATURE OMG OMNIPOTENT Of course they died, they deserved it for living there!" In fact I'm going to rip someone a new asshole right now for typing that sort of thing in my journal in another entry... brb!!!

Thanks. And I'm sick of hearing that too. It's no excuse for not helping the ones who survived. And it's CERTAINLY no excuse for not having a better natural disaster relief plan in effect, especially when you anticipate things of this magnitude happening. I saw how that person responded to your comment, and all I've got to say is, why was there no money to fix the levees? Oh, that's right, because it went to something else. Because the money that was supposed to be used to fix the levees was spent on some other "special interest" project. This is why I hate special interest groups. They're so divisive and prevent real progress from happening. Because REAL progress can only happen in a spirit of compromise, and special interest groups (as a general rule) have never heard of the concept.
