Baja Fresh Sucks. I just went there for lunch. They decided to raise their prices. Just one baja burrito - no drinks, no sides, cost me $6.19. That is fuXed up. So as I come to the conclusion that I am going to hit them up hard by getting extra salsa and chopped tomatoes - I get slapped around like a bitch again. They have watered down the salsa. It now has the general consistency of kool-aide. So I think to myself, ‘okay - I can work with this… I will just have to do a 50% tomato 50% salsa combination and hope that it all balances out…’ But no good. I get bitch-slapped from the left of the fixings bar. Those rat bastards have also done away with the chopped tomatoes. FuXers. Baja Fresh Sucks.
(Sorry about all the cursing…

I was not happy with any of the candidates that were up for President of the U.S. this go around… There was clearly a “Lesser of two evils” choice - but in my heart I knew that neither one really “hit the spot”. At the time, I was not sure who I wanted, or who I expected - I just knew that neither Bush nor Kerry was the man I wanted to put into the oval office.
I figured out who I would want as president, just a second ago. Mathew Broderick. I would vote him into office in a heartbeat. I think there was even a “Ferris for President” sign in Ferris Bueller’s day off. Scary. But in all reality, while Reagan was the man that got my parents and gradparents through the Cold War - for me, it was Mathew Broderick in his role in War Games. That movie put a name and a face to a distant fear that was lurking in the back of my mind… The potential for an enemy so cold and faceless that it took a computer to portray it in a movie: The USSR and it’s ability to fling nuclear missles at us. Sure, “the day after” freaked me the heck out, and did a good job at making me come to terms with the harshest realities of the predicament that we were all in. War Games gave me the resolution… and a feeling that even our nameless faceless enemy was just like me and all the people I cared for, in the end. We all would much rather live in simpler times, and play games of a far lesser magnitude. “How about a nice game of chess?” Could our communist neighbors be so very different? Of course not - and in the end, they chose a nice game of capitalism.
I just saw Mathew Broderick do an interview on Letterman. He was very endearing. He spent a lot of time talking about his two-year old. He always had the right retort, or the right joke at just the right momment. I could trust that man. And he has the magic touch on Broadway and beyond. Still stretching, still acheiving. And don’t get me started about how cool Sarah Jessica Parker would be as the first lady. She would truly be amazing.
So Mathew - if you happen to come across this… won’t you consider a run for president in 2008? I could really use something to look forward to. Thanks.

You decide…

For four years, I have been anxiously anticipating November 3rd. Everything would be better, I told myself. It would all come together. November 3rd, 2004 was the day that I was going to see the presidency returned to the people of my country - and breathe a sigh of relief. Four years is a long time to wait for a sigh of relief.
I feel like I got duped. I waited for that stupid day for four damn years? November 3rd sucked! That was a crappy day. What the hell was I waiting for that for? I feel no better. I feel no sigh… This whole f-ing decade is going down the bush hole. I wanna move to canada. This sucks. I bet they had a perfectly normal Nov. 3rd, 2004 in canada, and in lots of other places. Not like this sucky one. What a crappy day. What a piece of shit.

But unfortunately, there was not a place for a write-in vote. My hopes of winning the presidency will have to wait another 4 years. Just as well - even if I had written my name in, I think it would have taken more than just my vote to pull this one out. Nader was not on the ballot either. Ugg. I am not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand - I am glad because I don’t want any spoilers out there. On the other hand I would like this to be a real democracy, not a two party system. I would like to have seen both Nader and Kerry trounce Bush in the first debate. I think the whole system could use more voices. But then I would have liked Nader to withdraw… To hear him lately, he sounds more bitter towards the Donkeys, and specifically b/c of steps they took to keep him out of the debates and off voting screens. Can you blame them? The system is so stricken with problems right now that adding another candidate into the mix does not FIX it, it makes the system MORE FLAWED. So Nader - shut up and do something to fix the system - and stop trying to fix the election for the Elephants.
