so i've been doing some research, since i'm voting tomorrow.
everyone has been in an uproar about proposal 2 and i really don't understand why. everything i've read said that it's simply banning preferential discrimination in affirmative action. which is what i've always been about. the best person for the job should get the job. if i were running a business, that's the only kind of decision that would make sense. but i've run into it a lot, especially with small-time politics, where somebody does somebody else a favor and gets a leg up. it's a fine line, and is extremely subjective, but it's still a line. so, i don't see what the problem is. equal rights should be equal. if the minority becomes the majority (look at goth kids...) nothing changes but the orientation of the situation. the situation is still there.
the only concern i have is that it would weigh down the court system with all sorts of cases about what is preferential treatment and such. when really, the system could be left as is, and rely primarily on the faith that there are still good people in the world.
in the long run, it's not really that big of a deal though.
that's pretty much all i had.
i'm far more interested in the proposal for hunting mourning doves. maybe that's because killing things excites me or something.

the weekend!
it was fun hanging out with kevin on friday. and i got to talk to mom, which was nice.
then, yesterday and today have been spent watching really bad movies. i've watched 4 episodes of MST3K that i borrowed from Jenny so far. Space mutiny was by far the funniest. we also watched "creepshow" and "puppet master vs. demonic toys". the bad movie marathon has certainly lived up to its name.
but now it's homework time, although probably not, since it never really is.
and since it got such a hell of a response the last time:
i could really go for punching shannon in the face, right about now!
yep. that ought to do it. ; )

i'm fucking pissed.
mostly at myself, i guess.
who else do i have to blame? my professor? i'm trying to be reasonable here.
and at the moment, wigging out and beating the tar out of something sounds very reasonable to me.

you should buy my car.
burning hair is pretty much the worst smell ever.
and somehow, i think it smells worse when it's your own.
son of a bitch.

should i feel guilty for being pissed? i don't think so. i want to eat. i want to go home. i want to not have to do this shit.
hell, i daresay i'd even rather having to buy books.
son of a bitch, man.
she didn't really need to print off 150 copies of the habitat for humanity thing did she? i had to print of MY things. aren't I more important than her? and i can't get the marihuana one to work. that makes me sad.
