It's been a good two weeks since I devoted any time to the blog, and truth be told, probably closer to a month since I wrote about anything I put more than a few minutes thought into.
I can't explain my lack of enthusiasm, nor attribute my loss of creativity as of late to anything more than writer's block. Since I'm not published, I'm not even sure I can count that one. I'll just continue to post about random things, since the blog really is more for the author than the reading audience.
Wednesday Oct. 27th:
Game Four of the 2004 World Series, and potentially the last game of the series. The Red Sox could actually win, and I am dumb-founded.
Saturday Oct. 30th:
Trick-or-Treat night for my town, sadly from 5-7 PM but it is for the kids. My Dad always gets a kick out of decorating the front porch and giving out the candy.
Sunday Oct. 31st:
New England Patriots v. Pittsburgh Steelers.
Possibly to continue the longest winning streak in NFL history.
Tuesday Nov. 02nd:
Indecision 2004. The National Presidential Election, for everyone who hasn't 'banked' their vote. The last of persistent polling and unending camapaign commercials, we now return you to your regularly scheduled lives.

Kerry decisively won.
Bush embarrassingly lost.
Outcome: Fox News reported the oppossite.
1 and only vice-presidential debate: following Wednesday;
Edwards earned a strong victory.
Cheney finished a closer second than Gee-Dubya.
Outcome: Republicans wonder again why Jr. wasn't just another Dan Quayle Human-BPV.
2nd presidential debate: Friday;
Kerry earned another strong victory.
Bush exceded his shockingly low expectations.
Outcome: Fox News reported Bush's triumph, and predicted the election results.
3rd presidential debate: Wednesday;
Kerry can't believe he's still not ahead in the 'polls' especially that stupid fucking 'likely voter poll'
Bush can't believe Kerry's still not ahead in the 'polls' even the Gallup Poll...
Outcome: Democrats continue banging their heads against their walls.

The More I Know...
The Less I Understand.
I find more and more often that the more I learn about people and psychology or politics (which can be thought of as group sociology, to a degree) the less I am comfortable with in regards to blanket statements that encapsulate the entire group of something. That being said, I am wholly dumb-founded at an increase of the encumbant this late in the game. Has no one been paying attention? Didn't anyone see? He's not only a unintellectual meathead, he's also an angry little prick, who starts shouting and stamping his feet when he doesn't get his own way.
What a malignant little baby. What a sheltered life he is now entirely exposed for living, he's not only less aware of his financial holdings than a near stranger, he's completely devoid of anything useful.
I'm done talking about this. If America is so blind that we as a whole can't see the destructive chaos of the Bush administration, then we deserve four more years, and may God have mercy on us.

Short Brief
I'll be quick; new neighbors moved in next door. They're young Republicans and sporting a 'Support Bush and our Troops' sign or some such thing on their front lawn. Ok. Seems like bipolar causes, but I will try to resist the urge to walk over there and squirt lighter-fluid on their sign, and set it ablaze.
Maybe I'm just not thinking clearly, but I thought supporting the guy who cut military benfits, increased the likelihood of combat, and lengthened the duration of commitments by the soldiers was decidely anti-troops, if still considered pro-military.
Oh well, I'm sure it is just my liberal-bias silliness. Even though when I took a political poll I tested just to the right of dead center. Perhaps it was the poll that was inadequate, but when I finished and it called me a centrist; neither a liberal nor conservative, neither a Libertarian nor a supporter of big government, it sounded right to me.

An Update to this angry little blurb:
The day after George's vacation anaouncement I noticed the sign of support gone from the neighbors lawn. I can't decide whether their sign vanished (to their trash) due to the election being concluded (and therefore their support [i.e. use] of the troops has concluded.) or if they got one to many crooked glances from their neighbors for being pro-Bush.
It disgusts me that they wouldn't continue to show support for their troops especially considering they [10,000 American troops] are now (now that the silly nonsense of the forced re-election is behind us) being sent into a Fallujah offensive. But, we must remember, soldiers to these NeoCons are useful instruments, not friends or family.
