politics: i voted and am not living under a rock so of course today's post can't exist without some comment on all that...i doubt there's anyone who'd read this that would be terribly shocked to find out that someone [me in particular] is not happy about the outcome of our election...i'm sorely disappointed but not surprised...i had hope, but i unfortunately expected this even more...my fears were correct...i may have to abandon the faith in humanity i'd desperately tried to cling onto and go completely over the top into cynicism...oh well...i guess there's not much i can say about all that...don't take my word on this, as i'm sure the laziness that consititues my core being will take over, but i'm considering actually paying a bit of attention to politics now...i just really don't feel comfortable that things'll just go their own merry way, some good some bad but still carrying on like they always have...i see vectors pointing off into the distance, held firmly in place...i finally think i might be scared of not paying attention...like i said, once the heat of the current events cools down and my natural sloth takes over who knows how far i'll actually go...but i fear some shit's gonna happen ("we can make up all sorts of crazy laws!") and i at least don't wanna be surprised afterwards when i find out through my 5th hand sources over the internet (a truly informed citizen...) anyway, enough policital blather...not really much of anything has happened otherwise...Jacques came over tonight after work and we talked about the band a little (that was the itent of the "meeting") but mostly we just bitched about politics...fun stuff...

Though I know about 1/2 went for Kerry, I'm not equating that necessarily with intelligence or enlightenment. I mean, it's a relatively smarter choice but. . . Maybe around election time or Christmas, people like Jacques or Robert or whoever I think has a decent head on their shoulders gets a little hopeful when on any other day, they'd be just as cynical. I don't know about them, but people disappoint me every every day. Some may say it's because I live in the Bible Belt but I can't help but think it's like this everywhere. No one pays attention, no one retains the most basic of information, no one seems to wanna do better. I mean, if they did, I'd have more friends. It does suck.
