George Herbert "The Flower." It opens:

How Fresh, O Lord, how sweet and clean
Are thy returns! ev'n as the flowers in spring;
To which, besides their own demean,
The late-past frosts tributes of pleasure bring.
Grief melts away
Like snow in May,
As if there were no such cold thing.

Who would have thought my shrivel'd heart
Could have recover'd greennesse? It was gone
Quite under ground; as flowers depart
To see their mother-root, when they have blown;
Where they together
All the hard weather,
Dead to the world, keep house unknown

Best line EVER:

Jon Stewart, on Obama's nomination of a republican senator for Commerce Secretary: 'Gregg leaves, gets replaced by a democrat...Dems in the Senate get a filibuster-proof majority, and I'll finally be able to gay-marry a stem cell-created illegal alien'

people everywhere are funny
i was driving up the park that overlooks the golden gate bridge, and there were people there from all over the world...

it was fun to listen to them babble and be goofy. a german couple were taking turns trying to catch each other midair in a photo, jumping in front of the bridge. a middle eastern guy was posing very GQ. three japanese girls were posing like models with pouty lips and giggling like crazy.

it made me smile.

tori amos
"fat slut" you said
what luck i said
to be stuck in your happy family
don't you dare, i said
judge me
you go and
stick it in somewhere
i'm sick of hearing it
go stick it in somewhere
i'm sick of hearing it

HOORAY!
i don't think obama will make revolutionary changes or anything, BUT the fact that he won is really exciting to me. michigan approved medicinal marijuana use, massachusetts decriminalized the possession of an ounce or less of marijuana, and colorado and south dakota rejected anti-abortion proposals! this is so encouraging to me. i hope that as older, narrow-minded generations die off and younger, better educated people put their two cents in, the U.S. will become a more just, democratic place to live.

here's to hope.

and obama, you better use your power wisely, bitch!

Part of why I want to leave....from Slate:
Comparatively speaking, Americans are winning the time-clock Olympics. The typical U.S. worker puts in 1,804 hours at work each year, 135 hours more than the typical British worker, 240 hours (or six full-time weeks) more than the average French worker, and 370 hours (or nine full-time weeks) more than the typical German. The Conference Board's magazine points out that the trend toward increased work demands "has begun to reverse the two-century-old industrial paradigm of equating progress with increased leisure." None of this is good for our family relations. Middle-class couples in the United States, taking both spouses together, are working 520 hours (13 full-time weeks) more a year than such couples worked in the 1980s. Little wonder that the Families and Work Institute found in 2004 that 67 percent of working parents say they don't have enough time with their children, and 62 percent say they don't have enough time with their spouses.

venus was a fly trap
the man you loved devoured
i used to dream about your sister
standing in the shower
but i was never cool
you thought i was a cowboy
i wonder where my gun is
can you spare a bullet, senorita?

i will always be the worst

generation X-wing
that's got to be the death star
i used to dream about the future
i used to dream about a lot of things
but i was never cool
so you can call me loser
yeah, you can call me
anything you want to, senorita

i will always be the worst

help me up with
a pair of wings
a little rope
all those things
she always said i'd find the cure for cancer
i read my horoscope but i just can't pull it off alone

Thank you, Scott McClellan, for coming out against the Bush administration and the war now that it's safe for you to do so. God forbid you take a stand for what you think is right when you're in a position to do something about it.

i can tell you how this ends
i think the high price of gas is GREAT!

people are supposedly driving less and less, which means a decrease in pollution, noise, congestion, and isolation behind metal and plastic encasing.

a latency effect is an increase in social contact and interaction. perhaps more human touch. more exercise. more cooperation.

of course, it could also bring about a lot of crime. a lot of anxiety, depression, frustration.

this is a really interesting situation and time to be alive. it's exciting. things are happening. let's see what the fuck we can come up with to destroy or save ourselves.

the road to hell
i know it's cliche, but it is amazing how a group of rich humans no different than you and i have somehow achieved the power to send another, much larger group of poor, impotent humans to shoot at each other and die in the name of arbitrary nationalism. it's random chance that any one of us was born in america; we could have just as easily been born to iraqi or sudanese or chinese parents, in which case our world views would have been entirely different and rooted in whichever upbringing we happened to be born into. no one of us is any different or any better than the other, so what gives you the right to tell me what to do?
