I love Dennis Miller. Here are some of his words of wisdom.
-- Denouncing anti-war protesters, Miller described how he puts them into four categories, the second one made up of those who call everyone but Hussein a Hitler:
“The second type you have at these parades seems to be the people who want to mislabel Hitler. Everybody in the world is Hitler. Bush is Hitler, Ashcroft is Hitler, Rumsfeld is Hitler. The only guy who isn't Hitler is the foreign guy with a mustache dropping people who disagree with him into the wood chipper. He's not Hitler.”
-- On Michael Moore:
“He's going to wake up every day for the rest of his life, and he's going to tell us how he hates everything about this country except his right to hate it. And then we say that we love it and he's going to tell us what naive sheep we are and that he's the true patriot because he hates it and he sees all the problems in it. Yeah, right, Mike. You know something, if my yawn got any bigger they'd have to assign it a hurricane name, okay?
“Michael Moore simultaneously represents everything I detest in a human being and everything I feel obligated to defend in an American. Quite simply, it is that stupid moron's right to be that utterly, completely wrong.”
-- On those whining about the length of the war:
“And now we've got people whining about how long the war is taking. For God's sakes it's been two weeks. You know, it took Joe Millionaire eight weeks to pick Zora (sp?).”
-- Praising the troops:
“God knows that we've got things we've got to perfect in this country. But there's enough people downplaying it right now. I want to go so far against that. I want to thank the President. I want to thank the troops and say God bless you for doing the tough job which allows us to sit here and do the easy jobs, like be on the Tonight Show.”

“I'm not sure of anyone, anyone
But I've got plans
I'm not asking for everything
But sure, I could use a hand
I get a little anxious sometimes
You'll be gone and I'll be left behind
I get a little nervous sometimes
It'll be my cue and I'll forget my lines
I get a little lost look
And some staring from the corner of my eye
I never really mastered disinterest
I can't see how the way that you leave me alone makes us close
I must be out of touch
I won't ask you to give up on the things that seem to keep you gone
But I can be gone, too
I feel a little sorry sometimes
You're not here when I am writing
I feel a little awkward sometimes
You won't talk but we're not fighting
You hold onto your secrets and I'm not privy to what is on your mind
But I can't help but feel scarred
So tired …”
Sometimes songs exist that complete your whole being
I know.
I know the reason I’m not happy.
I won’t allow myself to be.
I intentionally make myself unhappy.
I try to hurt myself.
I intentionally have my strongest feelings for the people that I can’t become something with.
I try to run myself through the mud on a regular basis.
I intentionally attempt to isolate myself from the things that give me joy.
I try to scare away the people who I want to be the closest to.
I want to make myself miserable
I want to destroy my emotions.
I want to kill myself.
Thanks for fighting me the whole time
I love you all

Sigh.
I see all possibility in my happiness slipping away.
I’m sorry, but it’s like I can no longer talk to anyone anymore. Everyone has there own issues, and they make mine look so trivial. Sure I’m having girl troubles, but who the heck isn’t. If I ever come to any of you with some crybaby issues, you have my permission to do “woopdy do da shit”.
Talking with Jeremy the other day, it occurred to me what I really want in a relationship. (Not that Jeremy drew it out of me, but in conversations where he wont shut his mouth, it gives me a lot of time to think.) I just want to be comfortable. I just want to be able to bare all about myself to some one, and not be afraid of the possible repercussions. (And it would also be nice if I could hold her tight while watching a movie.)
I don’t see that happening in the next few months.
Time for me to shut the heck up, and deal with it.

“Well As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder…”
Won’t someone please tell me who I am?
I don’t know who I am anymore.
I’ve lost my drive, I am only moving because I still have momentum. I’m just going in the general direction I was going in the last time I cared. I’m not even sure I cared then. I have no passion in my major anymore. There are four reasons I picked engineering.
1) I would do it well.
2) It wouldn’t be very difficult for me.
3) It would be easy for me to find a job.
4) I would make enough money to support a family very well.
I don’t know why I should even bother anymore. I may end up hating my life if I do become an engineer. Am I just kidding myself and the only reason is $$$. And even then in order for reason #4 to not be shallow, I would need a family. I don’t see it happening. I hate reality.
I’m also not as conservative as one may think. I was raised a Democrat. I would still be one if I didn’t take religion so seriously. I am as pro-life as one could probably get. It makes me vote Republican; because that is the only issue I really care about. The only reason I got so worked up over this whole war thing, are the protestors frequently protest the wrong things. It makes me mad. I argue points I myself may not actually believe in, just to kill what I deem truly offensive.
Sigh.
I wish someone else would live this life. I’m not just tired of all the monotony. I am tired of constantly making hard decisions, second-guessing, and regretting everything I’ve done at college. I just want to go on vacation, but I can’t. Even if I could when I return everything would be turned upside down. Next year will bring more Jeremy, less Melissa (and possibly none).
I’m tired of everything happening in such slow motion. So many train wreaks happing at the same time. (I swear, if Jayci comes here at all next year, I’m gonna flip. There is no way they could continue “going through THE motions” and not have emotional attachments. I don’t care if I don’t really know what’s going on between the two right now, but sometimes the third party view sees the most.)
I really need a third person view right now. I’m just treading water in the sea of life. Which direction should I start to swim?
Should I just give up and drown?

Incase you don't normally read replies of other people's journals...
I typed this and now I'm all typed out...
"Sorry, I've been gone. Let's see here.
America wants one thing. Sadam OUT! It is not in there to steal oil; otherwise we would be attacking the #1 producer.
We are not in there to kill people either. We gave Sadam 12 years to comply with U.N. LAW!! After that we gave him several months to know that if he didn't FOLLOW THE LAW we would consider a military attack. We gave him 48 hours to leave the country to stop us from attacking. He didn't due anything, but provoke an attack for the past 12 years. Then what is one of the things after we start advancing, while taking in any soldiers who surrender, and giving aid to all of the civilians we see? Bomb a fucking shopping mall! Not even an American mall, but a mall in a country whose only crime is allowing U.S. and British soldiers to "hang out" there a while. WTF?
Sadam is a narcissistic psychopath. (Narcissistic: A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, or lack of empathy. Psychopath: A person with an antisocial personality disorder, manifested in aggressive, perverted, criminal, or amoral behavior without empathy or remorse.) He attacks his own people and he attacks those around him. He has a really bad record, and he won’t ever do what’s right for the global good or even his own country.
“The United States military spends $65,573,200,000 per month. Why?”
It is true that the United States accounts for half of the money spent on military worldwide. However, it is also true that since America also has 50% of the worlds total money, which means what we spend, is AVERAGE! Also take into account that a lot of our troops are used for other countries in defense from foreign aggressors, that means that we are spending BELOW AVERAGE on actual military meant only for the United States. Also take into account that regularly the “amount” we spend on military usually include the money spent on foreign aid. So that’s even less. Wow all of a sudden 65 trillion (did you make up that number cuz that pretty near GDP) isn’t that much.
“Save the humans”
Are you aware that Sadam Hussein killed 5,000 (citizens, not military) using gas in the Kurdish town of Halabja in 1988? How would keeping him in power save human?
And one more thing, every time someone says that the reason that people are starving in Iraq is because of some embargo that was passed 12 years ago only shows how much you are a puppet of the liberal media. There is no embargo on food entering Iraq, only on weapons, and items that can be used as potential weapons. No despite what I have learn playing video games, bananas are NOT weapons. The reason that Iraq can't import any food is because its leader finds the money better spent on smuggling in banned goods.
A final thought. We do need to stand up for what is right. What is right is not always clear. I personally believe that Saddam staying in power is not right.

"I need you to hear. I need you to see.

And exploding seems like a definite possibility
To me
So Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same. "
I just spent the last 7 and a half hours with Jeremy, and the only reason I am not with him now is that he wanted to go to bed. Sometimes People just amaze me. People sometimes fit so well into little groups, and sometimes they just jump out of their containers. Jeremy no longer fits so cleanly into the “Ass” file. We talked mostly about Andy. And don’t let this fool you, Andy was there, and was funny and captivating and everything, it’s just that he didn’t surprise me like Jeremy did. Anyway, we talked a lot about relationships, and as I always knew. Jeremy is not ever what he says he is. He’s never actually doing what he says he’s doing, and I’m sure he doesn’t even know why he does things, but it is all a hell of a lot more complicated than he’ll tell you.
I haven’t talked with Melissa in a while. Sure we have spoken, but not talked. There is a barrier between us. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of treating my feelings for her like an unfortunate handicap. Something that I live with, but can’t speak of. I will not be made to regret my emotions. I’m sorry if my feelings aren’t convenient. But rest assured, my feelings make me try to keep any such burdens away from her. For her, yes, my feelings are unfortunate. But for me, I’m sorry, no. It’s like this; love is a fully blooming garden. My feelings are like sprouting plants. Sure, this may not be the best place for a garden, and it may be the wrong season, but I wont kill the plants. I wont hide them way deep down, away from the sun, where they cannot fully mature into what the should or could be. Because even if this is the completely wrong situation, I don’t know when, if ever, my plants will ever be allowed to fully grow.
They are Beautiful Plants. Aren’t they?

"I've been waiting a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all"
I had a peculiar thought today. I was at a middle school wrestling tourny, when I saw some kids (boys and girls) running around having fun. "I wish I could return to the days when I could have fun. When I could just run around. When everything I did didn't directly impact the rest of my life."
What the hell was that. I AM A KID! well not as much so as an 11 year old but there is nothing to say that any girl I socialize with I love and will marry. Screw that. If I ever get morose again, slap me ok. And a final thoughtfrom the modern day poets.
"Gotta make a plan, gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles if you wanna build a life
But I don't wanna make a plan for a day far away
While I'm young and while I'm able all I wanna do is..."

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind

Keep in mind

I going home for a day. I hope nothing drastic changes while I'm gone, If it does, leave a message here, or call my house (269-665-7901)

I don't know what is going on in my life. For some odd reason, I must be secreting a bit more of the "Hey there, baby" [Insert word for male faramones]. So I have had better luck with the ladies.
This is a strange thing, because I stopped playing the game recently. I realized that I could not give my heart to anyone completely, except for her. Whenever I am talking to these ladies I still end up thinking about her. I can be happy, even if she will never be "mine". I just don't think it is fare to lead girls on like I tried to do for a while.
I don't know what I am doing anymore. I seem to have lost my aim.
*sigh
OK, here is the real deal. The main reason I like her is because she is different. I was with Stacey a really long time. So long infact that I lost faith in females. Sure, Stacey treated me like shit, but I figured any girl would. All women are bitches. All problems between men and women was inherintly the males fault. I felt that the way to avoid problems was to be the "perfect" boyfriend. I did every thing I could just to make her happy. Why? Because that's what I HAD to do. Thats whatwomen were, just pretty little things that you have to bribe just to stay with you. I bribed her a lot. I treated her like a god. And after all that, she dumps me.
Women are bitches.
They will use you and toss you to the side after you are completely broke from buying her roses. I hated women, but I needed them to make myself feel worth something. Going hand in hand with the feeling that all women had to be bribed just to be with you is a hell of a lot of insucurity. I am unbelievably insucure, especially after Stacey left. I needed women to give me something to live for.
I'm better now. Someone helped me to believe that I was worth something. It was her. She also surprised me, because she was the first girl who I felt like I wouldn't have to bribe. I never have to be someone I am not around her. I don't have to buy her presents just for her to spend time with me.
She is my breath of fresh air.
Anyway, I can't make my move. I'm afraid. Not affraid of rejection, at least not the quick kind. I have had the quick kind enough that I don't mind it anymore. I rip the band-aid of fast. I AM afraid that I would end up trying to be someone I am not just to impress her.I've been in situations like this before.
Well this is a long one, and this isn't even my computer. I had better end this now.
