Run your fingers through my hair as you whisper in my ear, "I hope you're not well, I hope things aren't fine. I hope your body dies, long before your mind. I hope you reach for help with hands that refuse to reach. I hope you try to scream with a voice that just won't scream. I sincerely hope your last breath is mine."

Another election year, another round of me fellating Ralph Nader.
So, nearly eight years after the fact people are still prattling on about Ralph and Al. I see it like this: Supporting Ralph Nader is like cheering for the Kansas City Royals. Sure, you know they're going to lose but people still go to games, buy hats, do the whole bit. The difference is, when the season ends and Detroit ends up 2.5 games out of the wild card, are people going to blame the Royals because they swept that opening series? What right did they have to win those games, they aren't contenders, give them to a team that has a chance.
In other news, I watched Roots this weekend. I get the feeling that Lloyd Bridges wasn't really acting in that movie. They just put him on a set with a bunch of black people and taped his natural reaction. Also, I think that the guy who play Ol' George (the one decent white guy in the movie) also played the railroad foreman in Blazing Sattles. Every time he opened his mouth I expected to hear, "When you was slaves you sang like birds, now give us one of them ol' nigger work songs."

I got this movie from the library titled "La Femme Infidele." It was a French film about a guy who finds out his wife is being unfaithful so he kills her lover and disposes of the corpse. Well, the cops start coming around because the man has been reported missing and they find her number and address in his address book. Well, after like the third time by she finds a picture of her lover with his address on the back inside her husband's jacket. Then the whole things ends with the husband standing next to the cops and the wife with an indifferent expression on her face watching him. That's it. It's not explained that maybe the police found the corpse or it's just routine questioning. The wife's reaction is left undisclosed. At first I thought she was furious because she knew that her husband killed her lover, but then I thought maybe she was excited because he actually killed for her love. Nonetheless, it was a great ending because it made me so mad.

So, my grandfather is an awesome man. After enduring a six hour surgery my dad and I are with him when he finally gets back to his room. My dad says, "So, you're back with us, dad." and all my grampa says is "Am I?" How many people are able to crack jokes while full of morphine?
Other news:
I have this feeling that although I've never read any of his work I would really like Hemingway, so I checked A Farewell To Arms out of the library today. More updates as they arise.
All this crap about the Michigan Primary is exactly that. Obama wanted to send a message by boycotting the primary when it was in January. Now he sees that he has a shot at the nomination and he needs all the delegates he can get so he wants to come back for a do-over? Forget it, that right there shows his integrity as a leader. If you want to make a stand you have to stick to it.
Yeah, I'll be voting for Nader again this year.

So, my sister told me that a proposal regarding Medicinal Marijuana may be on the ballot this fall. While I by no means support drug use, I have to say that it's about time. I'm tired of seeing my tax dollars squandered on this War on Drugs. With any luck this will move use toward full scale legalization so I won't have to pay to have American jets drop American bombs on poor farmers in Colombia. Granted, that's more the War On Cocaine, but still, legalize 'em all. I heard a figure a few years back that by bombing coca farmers we can raise the price of raw coca 10x. This may sound impressive, but when the cartel buys X-amount at $1000, refines it and sells it for $100,000 they make a $99,000 profit. Now, when the raw costs $10,000 the cartel will once again sell it for $100,000, this time they only make $90,000. Oh darn, looks like they can't get all those AK-47s they hoped for.
Yeah, in summary:
Drugs = Bad
Drug War = Worse

Things change
So, my last entry was about how Hilary and I just got married...
...yeah, that ended. To be brief, we both felt emotionally abused. While one foolishly thought that things could be worked out with counseling, the other didn't.
So, this will go back to being where I complain about stupid things that dance in my head because I have no outlet for all this brainpower.

so, hilly and i got married last week, now instead of calling her "milary" i have to get used to calling her "silary." our honeymoon was nice, before we left Larry said "try not to think about work" and for four beautiful days it never crossed my mind. i love her, i love our little duck, and i love our life

when we look at modern man we have to face that fact that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit. which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance. we've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the earth as brothers and sisters.
yeah that's the opening to a Good Riddance song, i think it sounds like Dr. King's voice...but i could be wrong, i usually am.

is the man half machine or is the machine half man?
so, will asks "did you die?" no, i'm not dead. just greatly disillusioned.
from the start, i've made myself entirely financially independent and have taken some sizable chunks out of my debt. so, i tried to go back to school considering i've only got about 5 semesters left. i was hoping to pay with some more stafford loans since the payments are do-able and i can take care of them before the grace periods expire. the problem arose when i realized that since i'm not 24 yet i still need to provide my parents' tax forms and since they haven't filed a return since f.y. 2001 that was a dead end. so, i tried some other desperate attempts at financing that finally came to an end on what was ironically the birthday of the girl that said i was a waste and was going nowhere.
anyway, i don't really feel like a waste though. granted i'm classified as "uneducated" and will be nearing 30 before i ever graduate from college, i've got a decent job with a boss that respects me. i have a nice apartment all to myself. and most importantly i have a terrific partner.
still, a couple lectures on soil science would be pretty nice.

so, i needed a "stage" name because "Charlie Shick" brings to mind an image of a low rate tax accountant. at least to me it does. "hey, who does your taxes? oh, Charlie Shick? is he any good?" anyway, i figure that since "Mickey" was "Mike" from the time we were 5 until until we were about 20 i can still change my name now. so, from now on call me "Woody." it just seems to suit me better since it gives the image of a geek with an erection. we're in the transition period now, i will still answer to "Charlie" but by august 4, i will only answer to "Woody."

i keep getting emails from people who see the old ja-sl page and want to sell me recording time or webspace or god knows what. i like to respond to every piece of trash they send me. i always use the subject line "wow, that's so cool!" so that they think i want their product but when they open it they see, "we broke up like 9 months ago." the best are the ones i send to the people with studios... "i do my own recording and that's the way it's always going to be" any consideration i had of paying someone to use their studio went out the door when i heard tony's new cd. great band, great songs, horrible recording.

so, mike maly says that the saturday after next (the 12th) is a mandatory saturday for everyone from all shifts to come in. larry and i are scared. kirk's been very on edge lately. jobs will be lost.
hilary's going to be quite upset as well.
in other news, i was soooo close to being in larry's wedding. he wanted jeff and i to be ushers but his horrible shebitch or a bride said that her brothers are going to be the ushers and jeff and i can go to hell.
in other news, her dress isn't virginal white...what's more shameful, not wearing white and admitting to everyone in the church that you didn't wait, or going for the white and expecting everyone in the church to not have suspicions?
larry's becoming disspirited with the whole thing, he's admitted that he is not making any of the decisions regarding the wedding. and i quote, "it's just another contract...oh, did i say that?"
