Hi *waves*. I can only watch CNN for a few minutes at a time now. Watching what's going on in New Orleans makes me want to cry, throw up, and scream all at the same time. I feel so completely helpless and out of control right now because there is nothing I can do to help these people. These are times when I wish I was a fucking fairy and could wave my magic wand and make everything all better. It rips me apart that I can't. I just feel sick.

You all already know that I hate the Bush Administration with a sickly black passion that threatens to consume my soul, but I really don't know what to make of their complete lack of action in this case. What the fuck is the hold up Mr. President? You bent over backwards to send us to war, but you can't do something about the people of New Orleans dying? They have no food, they have no water, they have nothing. I guess it's not high on his priority list. You'd think it would be considering he's a transplant Southerner. And don't get me started on their token Colored Girl, Condaleza Rice. Yeah, that's right, I said it. All this "it's not about the victims being black." BULL SHIT! This is America. Everything is about race. If you're not white and you're not rich, you're fucked. Simple as that.

You know what else I find supremely entertaining? The fact that the company I work for, Safeway, hasn't starting collecting donations at all for Katrina. The DAY AFTER the Tsunami hit, we had donation cups at every register, but it's been almost a week, and there's nothing for the poor black folks in New Orleans. What up with that Safeway, huh? This company just sickens me. Thank goodness I have an interview on Tuesday. I want that job so I can get the hell out of this company.

[Edit] Oh my. Look at what Safeway put up a little while ago. It's about bloody time! [/Edit]

Whatever, I'm spewing venom and that is not helping anything. Please, PLEASE donate whatever you can to the victims of Katrina by visiting The Red Cross. You don't have to give money. There are other ways you can help, like food and clothing. These people need us and it's a joke that we can't even give proper aid to the citizens of our own country. We should be ashamed. It's disgraceful.

Peace and Love to the Hurricane victims. Blessed it be.

Hi *waves*. Why is it that when you have tons of shit going on in your life, you don't blog at all? Is it lack of time? Maybe it's that everything that is happening to me is bad and I really don't want to rehash it in my blog for fear of bringing up the pain all over again. Yeah, that's probably it.

Actually my life isn't that bad. Oh, it's bad, but compared to some people, I have it pretty good. I mean, when you read about women in Sudan getting raped by muslim invaders who want to degrade them while trying to breed the black out of the population, it kind of puts things into prospective. Or, when you read about two women who were denied treatment for their cancers because they didn't have inssurance (healthcare in this country is fucked), it really makes you think... hmm, things could be worse. Not much worse, but there is still a margin for downgrade here.

I'm just growing more disgusted with the human race each passing day. We are so greedy and heartless. We'll fuck anyone over to get what we want. It's true for everyone. There are very few good, loving people in the world. There is always a base motive for good deeds. When you parents say they love you, they don't, they just want something. Humans do evil everyday, even on the smallest scale. We can't help it, it is our nature. People are just dirty, filthy things.

It's amazing how working in a grocery store has made me so jaded, but watching people shop is like observing a microcosom of human behavior.

I really need another job. The one I have now is making me hate the very thing that I am. I can't stop being human and that sucks. Peace.

Hi *waves*. Yup, it's been a while since I've posted, but what else is new? Do you really want to know? Well, I'll tell you. I just got back from voting. There's some newness for you.

Ah yes, getting up at the ass-crack of dawn to be one of the first young people to vote in California was nice. And you all already know who I voted for so let's not go into that.

Anyhoo, I'm feeling pretty good about exercising my constitutional right. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of myself and my sister (who went with me and voted), and my mom (who will vote later today). Oh yeah, it's a wonderful feeling.

Also, I won't be posting until after the election results are in and we know who our next president will be. Hopefully, it will be a happy post, but if it's not, at least I know I went out and tried to make a change.

See you peeps on the flipside and get off you ass and go vote danmit!

Hi *waves*. It's 4:45 in the morning and guess where I'm going. Have you gueesed? Well you're wrong. I'm actually going to the county clinic so I can keep from getting sued by the county over medical costs.

They call it health issurance, but it's not really health inssurance as much as letting them know that I have no money therefore I cannot afford to pay for even the most basic of medical care. It's quite depressing really, but I have to do it in order to get my zoloft and progesterone, which I need in order to live.

Yeah, it should be pretty fun. Standing out in the early morning twilight with the rest of the poor people, waiting for the clinic to open at 8:00am in hopes of getting one of those little pieces of paper with a number on it saying we can see the county worker today. Then it's another 3 hour wait until our number is called. Often they take you into one of those depressing rooms and ask you to pull out your ever monuting county medical bill (mine is up to about $300 now), so that they can take pity on you and give you a 6 month wavier to get discounted medical care.

If only we had socialized heathcare in this country. You'd think that everyone having a very basic need ( such as healthcare) without worry would be important, but it's not. Why, do you ask? Because in this country we worship one thing... MONEY. Fuck everything else. If you can't make money off it, it's not worthy of your time. And even if you do have health issurance, unless you're rich or have a kick ass job that actually cares if their employees live or die, you get a shitty plan that makes you take out a second mortage on your house, and you have to deal with doctors that get paid bonuses not to treat you, as well as companies who'd rather wait out your illness until you die from it than treat you for it, or better yet, use preventive medicine so you don't get it. You see, waiting you out is much cheaper than actually helping you get better.

Yes, my lack of zoloft is starting to catch up with me... as you can tell. I'm just disgusted with the world right now. There's so much injustice. There are more things wrong then there are right and that's sad. I guess it's just human nature. We live to kill each other.

Hi *waves*. I suppose it's about time I wrote something in my blog. I've been out and about in the world lately... working as usual. I feel discontent with my life as a usual and I am broke... as usual. I need a rich boyfriend who can spice up my life and keep me in the life for which I wish to become accustomed to. Needless to say I'm a mess.

So, John Kerry picked John Edwards as his running mate for the 2004 election. Can we say YAY!. I'm so freakin happy. I love John Edwards. I personally think he should have been the democrate candidate, but I don't run shit so that's that. But now I have a good reason to vote for John Kerry. At first is was just to get Bush's lying, coniving ass out of office, but now is for Edwards. I'm so happy.

Been working on some web stuff. I figured out that dread for tackling the news and gallery sections of Matt-Czuchry.Com was keeping me from working on the damned thing. So, I've decided to go with one of those fancy-assed mySQL gallery databases. You know, the ones all the kids are using these days. I chose Coppermine and it's working out so far. I also downloaded something similar for my news archive. That should really make my life easier, although there isn't much news concerning Matt.

On a personal note, I still have feelings for Mark and I'm addicted to Gatorade Fierce in Strawberry. Yeah, this addiction is new.

Gotta go, peace and love.
