Voting

     I have only voted twice in my life, and both times it was only to vote against George W. Bush.  I think we all know how that all turned out now don't we?  I haven't voted again since because I just don't believe that we are really in charge of the outcome at all.  I think voting is just a way of making us feel like we are deciding something that is really out of our hands all together.  I know that that is a cynical view but, I feel there isn't enough cynicism today which has allowed a corrupt government system to run wild.

My Stupid Hat

     I have done a LOT of stupid things lately.  I actually often do but lately I've shattered my own personal record of brain dead behavior.  It's OK though, because that's how we learn.  We're human, we do dumb things.  We do these things, hopefully learn, then get back up to mess up some more till we get it right.  That's life.  That's what life is.  It's a series of lessons and tests.  I have failed mine lately but that is OK because tomorrow is a new day.  I'm going to get a whole new day a brand new chance and I'll learn new lessons.  I may fail.  OK, I probably will.  But, I'll keep getting back up and that is what matters most.
