Sleeeep Forever…
OMG. I just like totally slept foreverz. Wtf? LOL!
I went to bed at like 8AM yesterday and I woke up at 11PM. According to my calculations that is roughly 15 hours of sleep. That is completely unreasonable. I had a dream about Fred Thompsons mother building Legos that we were going to paint to look like Chocolate Chip cookies.
What is up with NYC? Everyone quit doing anything fun for the Holidays. I have done some nice hanging out, but no serious partying. Other than New Years it seems like I have not shot anything in ages. It probably will be 1AM before I go out tonight, but I know some stuff is going on so hopefully I will have some photos tomorrow.
Last night I was going to go out with a friend of mine who was in town. She had a car but we were going to take the Subway because we didn’t want to park it but after we walked half way to the Subway we realized it was far too cold to be walking so we went back to the car. We drove about 5 blocks but she couldn’t reach her friend so we turned around and decided to get some food while we waited. Her tire looked sort of flat so she tried putting air in it while I bought us some snacks. The tire didn’t look any better so I put some air in it, but it still looked bad. We still couldn’t reach her friends so we drove back to my house and tried to find parking, but we couldn’t find anything on the right side of the street. Right in front of my apartment there was a spot but she would have to move it very soon for street cleaning.  We took it anyway and when we got out her tire was completely flat. I had to change her tire in 10 degree coldness. It sucked and part of the jack was missing so I had to make this makeshift jack thing and it took 10 times too long to do it and I was freezing my ass off for an hour. We then gave up our plans to do anything in the city and watched Mumblecore movies until 6 AM. Then she took a nap while I waited up until she had to move her car at 8. Then we moved her car, slept 2 hours then she had to leave. And I slept until just fucking now.
Next point: I recently talked to someone who did not know the difference between a Democrat and a Republican. She was a grown woman and had no idea who the vice president was, why we are at war or what a dictator was. She seemed interested in knowing about this stuff so I tried to teach her some stuff, but every time I mentioned one thing I had to explain ten more. She is not a dumb girl, she just has no idea of anything going on around her politically and historically. In our two hour conversation I told her about who was running for president, WWII, genocide, Rwanda, Darfur, Desert Storm, the current war, Israel v. Palestine, South Africa, Gandhi, and Communism. When I got to Communism I knew I had to give up. How the Hell do you explain Marxism to someone in a casual conversation when they think it is “that bad stuff that Russia did”. The scary part is not that this girl exists, because she was curious and I am going to help her register to vote and get her things to read and watch, but the fact that there are millions of Americans who are the same way. It is terrifying to me. This is why this country is the way it is. We need help.
Speaking of presidents, here is a video game you can play that the for mentioned girl would not understand, but hopefully you will. It is called Kung Fu Election and you can play Mortal Kombat with the presidential candidates… or at least eight of them. I was really hoping to kick Mitt Romney’s ass with Denis Kucinich, but alas, that is not an option.
Okay, thats a nice blog to start and end the day. I will try to sleep less and update more tomorrow…. cause I will probably be awake for the next 24 hours. I’ll be productive!
PS. You would think when you spend hours crafting a human Tetris game you would get better at it than these guys are…

You could edit this post (or make a new one) with a link to glassbooth.com maybe. It’s this web site that has you answer all of these questions based on your beliefs (and if one doesn’t know what the Patriot Act is, for example, everything is linked to its own Wikipedia entry explaining it)… and then it matches you up with the presidential candidate that has the most views in common with you, re: different issues. It’s super helpful, and while you’re filling this thing out you’re learning how you feel about certain things also if you hadn’t thought of them before.
“I was really hoping to kick Mitt Romney’s ass with Denis Kucinich, but alas, that is not an option.” – love it.
