No election board to start an election year.

Go government. You people are so annoying. geeze. my cat just farted and it's because of things you do like this, you government weenies. I wish there was someone I could trust.

This is a response to this article (you might want to read it first):

As Primaries Begin, the FEC Will Shut Down
No Quorum on Election Board As Nominees Stall in Congress

I was annoyed that the politicians are playing chicken like this. The dems don't like the republican and the republican doesn't like the dems, or so they say. As you read through the article, it says if this doesn't get solved quickly, funds could be denied to the Edwards campaign.

So, this could be a problem created by dems who want a hilary or obama ticket. Or not. Great, thanks a lot leaders.

Also, this article was seriously edited and buried inside the Roanoke Times. It didn't even mention the Edwards campaign in that version. Perhaps they just didn't have the room. Or didn't care. Who knows. I couldn't even find the short version on their website. Thank you for existing, Washington Post.

So:
I can't trust the media.
I can't trust the politicians.
I can't trust the elections boards.

Have a happy weekend!

a moment

i'm sitting in a restaurant. there are 4 of us. 3 are guys. conversations are attempted, efforts thwarted by exuberance for the sound of one voice. That voice tries, strives to make a joke, share a thought, be included. Inappropriate jokes crash and burn.

Maybe it's a case of too much information too young. The voice, this young voice is so eager to prove it's experience, eloquence, intelligence, "coolness".

And this eager energy serves to isolate it. self-defeating.

It made me so mad. We made a small joke about Hooters, the restaurant, my kind friend who I know and trust made me briefly uncomfortable by staring at my chest. ha ha. He stopped. I think it was quite clear how funny I found it.

New voice decided it was funny, so did it too. I told him to stop. Later he did it again. I told him to stop. He laughed off his rudeness by joking he'd brought the conversation full circle.

Why didn't I tell him how I really felt? That he doesn't know me and actions like those to a basic stranger are rude, offensive, fucking shitty. Dammit. i am so pissed off.

I ached for his social insecurity and stupid people tricks
attempting inclusion through being the life of the party
i resemble something of his attention seeking
and hate that
am i pitiful?
Was i pitiful?
So I couldn't tell him.

that and the being a wimp part.
i can send food back, embarrassing all my friends
but i can't tell you, a stranger who I may never see again, that you made me feel bad

well, now the world knows, stupid insecure guy, that you suck.

thank you internet.
maybe someday i'll tell someone about this blog and then he'll really be sorry.


Afterthought - he just needs to listen more, relax more, look for social cues to follow, have respect for the world he has entered and let them grow to respect him through the experience of him, not through his own opinion of himself. arg. so he doesn't suck. he is just young and needs to learn. Oh, and to not be so obvious about only wanting to meet women. Every woman I know received his business card. I can't think of a man who did.
