If she really sounded like Fran Drescher, then somebody has to die. It's really not that important who, her or me. It's gonna happen.

Yeah, Lookout, well anyone can detect that French accent in your typing a mile away, you capitalist oppressor of the downtrodden, you! Go slink off behind your gated community and tip a few people in wheelchairs. That should cheer you up!

Perhaps you're more familiar with the term "dark room"?

mrnoodle, when do you go to trial? my g/f is locked up until november for dui. in fact i took her to court tuesday and sat with her until it was time to start serving. i'm going to go see her tonight after i drop off my son to the ex. we've been inseperable since the day we met and now i have to wait 84~87 days to feel her touch. also, have your lawyer reschedule your ALR hearing. if you can wing it, have that trial before your dui trial and in the same week. texas is a pretty bad state to get dui in as well and i know i already pm'd you on this but my ALR was on a monday and the DA didn't want my lawyer to be able to talk to the arresting officer so they didn't show and the prosicution moved to dismiss. then on wednesday i showed up for my trial as well as the arresting officer. something happened and it was rescheduled for the next day. i got lucky. the cop had night shift and slept through his summons so i was found not guilty. luck works in mysterious ways.

why is everyone so angry? - well everyone has pretty much covered the bases here, stress, asshats, anger mongers that want to argue. myself i just keep it to myself usually. what good is it going to do [shrug/]? mrnoodle and i have pretty much had the same "luck" over the last few years it sounds like and i'll say this: what doesn't put you down only makes you stronger. well, that and learning how to say "i don't give a fuck" helps too on some matters.

I'll let you know what happens...haven't gotten any word yet, and my lawyer had a death in the family over the weekend, so it'll be awhile before I learn court dates, etc.

Did you forget to include the major magnetic storm the earth has just come out of? It ended about 7 PM on the 24th.

Then, of course, there was that full moon last week.

And the Mars thing coming up this weekend (no, not the spectacular one from a couple years ago in the error-ridden email that's going around, but still a closer pass than usual)

Everyday we hear and experience more and more about stuff we have little or no control over. Like the hippos. Sad situation and none of us can do anything about it. Iraq war? Same thing more or less. Pulled over by cops? Helplessness in mass quantity breeds discontent and anger.

I also think it's the sense that we have lost control over our own political process. In a Republic we are supposed to be able to pick the people who control our tax money and laws. Thanks to apathy, gerrymandering, and special interests, we seem to have fewer choices and politicians who feel less answerable to us.

We know the system is breaking, but not how to fix it.

plthijinx 08-29-2005 12:53 PM

Radar is working on that for us. :D

people are crackign under the kingdom of fear, everyone is a psycologist and can see other peoples subcontious but not their own, yesterday an old white guy who looked like my granpa called me a terrorist because i was wearing baggy pants and almost bumped into some guy by accident cause i was stoned, i think people get off on trying to be smarter then the people they think hate them by using some james jones gonzo speech wich satisfys their animal sense of power.
