yay for new bike tires! [13 Aug 2003|10:56am] [ mood | anxious ] i'm finding that i have very little to say to my computer. my live journal continues to suffer. i saw howard dean speak a couple of days ago... it's hard to forego ideals and pick the lesser of the evils. he has some good stuff to say but some really narrow, typically conservative things to say as well. what's more important: supporting a candidate that holds true to the essentials of life (equality, peace, compassion, tolerance, etc...) who would never get elected or picking someone who is better than our terrible current leader but seems frighteningly similar to him and indeed, has a chance? i do have hope but it's beginning to shift from anything our government does to the voice of the 'revolution' - dead tree house, anyone? gotta move all my shit today (and all the girl's shit too!) and it's already 11am... so much work to do. my new 100 psi tire is nice and fast. 4 comments|post comment

In describing the impact of the Bush policies on America's future, Akerloff added, "What we have here is a form of looting." 3 comments|post comment

[07 Aug 2003|10:43pm] [ mood | weird ] this house is beginning to be be more work than i realized. today we found mounds of dead bugs inside of the wallpaper. yes, that's right - dead bugs. sick. my bike got a flat today, too. right at the bottom of the south st. bridge... halfway from work. so i had to ride the bus and walk in the pouring rain to get way home. i miss her. and she's locked up to some street sign getting rained on. so, picking a mood weirds me out. there are a lot of moods to choose from and i cannot pick one. i think, "i should be feeling one of these - every mood one could possibly have is here." and if i choose one, "am i really feeling this or is it what i want to be feeling or think i should be feeling?" the choices and the pressure are too much. how the hell do i upload pictures that are the right size?!! (help) post comment

important update! [06 Aug 2003|11:37pm] i'm not talking about the war in iraq, or bush's budget cuts, or the second coming... but this, my friends, is nonetheless, reason (for clean denver kids and some dirty philly kids) to sit up and take notice. yesterday, sometime in the evening hours, our good friend, who i will affectionately call "chubby dread head" (to protect the innocent) had his first kiss!!! for some time, those who love this dreaded boy, have wondered and hoped and pleaded with the forces at work to, for goodness sake, get him some lovin and now the time has come. please forward all inquiries to the dreaded boy in question - it was just my job to relay the news. (it works out quite well because both boy and girl are nice and sweet and smart). 2 comments|post comment

[06 Aug 2003|09:52pm] [ mood | calm ] i fear that my life is not interesting enough to post about. hm. philly is alive tonight but i'm content in my apartment just knowing that life goes on - eating leftover chinese and chatting with misann about the mean customers i was inflicted with today... yep, here i am. chris is home, finally, and the last two days with him have been wonderful. i feel so much comfort in the committment to love and anticipation in learning how to do that better. he is much more than i deserve. i've been reading more about howard dean... i don't know enough to comment on what kind of guy i think he is but he may be the only chance for us to remove bush from power and uproot evil in the white house. (sound familiar?) besides, he's for socializing health care and putting money back into the schools and social services in the city. i'm interested in mobilizing as many people as i can to vote for him - i know there are those of us who want to lend our support to the green party BUT this time, i think, the task at hand is a greater one. any takers? i miss my girls. xo. 2 comments|post comment
