Physical My Ass

[ rakaur on Tue Nov 16 at 04:41 PM // category: life, politics, running ]

That was the briefest physical ever. They didn’t even do any of the usual… things.

I have absolutely no idea why I feel the need to tell this to you people.

Oh, yeah, I wore this (I’d take a real picture but my camera is apparently no longer functional, which sucks beyond comprehension) to school today. That was interesting. No one said anything bad, but I’m guessing the Bush lovers just didn’t say anything period. The ladies seemed to like it, though! Woo!

I hate my life.

Blog Update 2004

[ rakaur on Sat Nov 06 at 04:11 PM // category: life, politics, relationships, running ]

Yeah so, I just bought this. I only realized afterwards that it comes off as “republicans suck, democrats rule.” I’m not a democrat. I’m not a republican either. I saw this shirt as “people who voted for Bush are complete morons” not “republicans are complete morons.” So, now that that’s cleared up.

Thursday… I think… a friend asked me to help her with a docudrama. Sure, what the hell. As it turns out, it was on the Spanish Inqusition for the European Studies class. I was Heretic #2! Anyway, it was the girl I want’s sister’s project. She was Heretic #3. So, I got to spend some time around her, which was cool.

Harrison and Tim (Tim hates me because he’s republican, Harrison hates me on principle) were gaurds. They got to hit me a lot. First to beat the confession out of me, second to flog me as was my punishment. Heretic #1 had to wear a cross or some lame crap. Heretic #3 (the girl I want) wouldn’t confess and was burned at the stake. We had marshmallows. Right before they started shooting she turns to her side and goes “so… does anyone else think this is funny?” and pointed to the giant mirror labeled “FIRE EXTINGUISHER” next to her. I started laughing so hard I had to leave so the camera wouldn’t pick it up. No one else thought it was funny.

In other news, I started running in preparation for Track. We (Harrison and I) only ran like a mile and a half, but it was pretty harsh on me as I’ve never run more than required before. It wasn’t that I got tired, it was the throbbing in my side. That went away after a while, and I had to stop less often. We ended up going up a giant hill “not a through” street, and that owned my legs. From then on, they were burning like mad (which is awesome). This morning when I got up it hurt to move (which is equally awesome). My back’s stopped hurting now, and it’s just my thighs that are sore. I haven’t seen Harrison around today so no idea if we’re running again today. We’re going hiking tomorrow though.

Fun.

Check out SorryEverybody. It’s a plea to the rest of the world on behalf of 49% of Americans who aren’t stupid.

These are also good… I’m not sure what each is so I’ll just paste:

Nader Blows

[ rakaur on Wed Nov 03 at 07:33 AM // category: life, politics ]

See, if only Nader could have pulled the tree out of his ass and realized that no one gives a shit about his worthless policies and stayed the hell out of the race Bush wouldn’t be a problem right now. Or, you know, if states would have realized that he’s a babbling idiot that used to be worth some good but had a stroke and can’t remember his first name or why the hell his nose is so huge and kept him off the ballot, we wouldn’t be having this 50%-49%-1% bullshit.

I’m not willing to sit around for another four years and wait for Bush’s five good neurons to crank out the next malformed sentence.

This is our fucking country. It’s terrible. If Nader really wanted to “open the American’s eyes [to ground-breaking policies that no one other than a billion other people have thought up before]” and “make America a better place” he would have kept his oh-dear-ugly face out of the god-forsaken race.

But no.
