2 of 2 rants today: Political

This one is all about the President of Iran…..

FREAKING COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IS CALLING ON HIM TO SPEAK AT THEIR CAMPUS!!!!!!!

What kind of Dumbass thing is this to do? I mean REALLY. This guy is a double faced snake. When speaking to us he puts up a false front of a peaceful intellegent world leader. But when speaking in his own country to his own people, he shows a different front, for example….

“They have invented a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets.”

“The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land. As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map.”

Durr.

Some are rightfully pissed off…..

Yet others seem to be giddy….

Most curiously a Gay Jewish woman…. who would be killed in Iran…… who claims to have a crush on him…..

1 of 2 entries today:personal

I have a few things I want to rant on today, Some are personal, some are political. I decided to put them in two different categories today for the sake of ease. Those who care about only one side of me can skip the other side at their comfort.

Dad’s seizures are getting a little bit better… but very very slowly. I should be thankful that his health is improving, but we are still fighting them, and although they are getting better we are still fighting with the round that started almost a month ago (the day of the First OSU football game this season) when he had seizures at work and ended p going to the hospital.

I thank God that he is getting better, but I just need a break from fighting the battle.

Secondly I’m afraid for my life ahead. I have never really been an optimist, especially concerning my own abilities. I am afraid of being forever dependant on the care of my parents, which while I am grateful for them, is unnatural. I feel like my life is not progressing, like i am in the same place I was 2 years ago when i turned 18.

Of course, I am working on getting back to school (I finally have a date.) I am starting in january because I am part of the way through the winter session already and I couldn’t afford the few availiable classes because I would not be taking enough credit hours to be eligable for the financial aid to pay for them.

Thus I am starting in January.

I guess everyone goes through this fear, that they are going nowhere. I guess that is what moves us forward in the first place. Perhaps I am freaking out over nothing.

An internet friend of mine is having some of the same fears… I guess it is at least somewhat common. Perhaps… oh well.

I’m arguing with a guy on the internet, who is very pompously Anglo Catholic, over whether or not the Church in England was ruled by Rome for 1,000 years between about 600 AD and the 1500 AD. This guy is so obsessed with apostolic succession, pedigree and the politics of the church that he has to change history to somehow legitimize his church. I don’t have to legitimize anything. My Church Preaches Christ and Administers the Sacraments, I’m happy.

Time for another personal longwinded mumblefest.

I love the idea of a ramble blog. Because I can put up news and commentary like the pundits, but I can also just rant about shit in everyday life too. A post about Clinton could easily be followed by a post about how my dog usually wakes up with goo in his eyes.

Blogging itself is a facinating concept. Absolutely everyone has a forum now. Your thoughts, feelings and musings can be published internationally, and read by people who don’t even know your name. People can be free to write whatever they want, as they do not fear public backlash, its interesting. It opens speech up quite a bit, even though it also leaves open the possibility of abuse.

The New Fox Sunday line up is premiering tonight. I’m watching it as I type. The opening sequence of the simpsons made multiple references to the movie. Genius. I love it. I”m really looking forward to the Family Guy Star Wars special.

(To my european/british readers, you have to wait a few months for it, NAH NAH NAH NAH NAHHHHH NAHHHH!!!! We get everything first because we are obviously a superior people!!!)

(For those of you with no sense of humor, that was a joke, no need to call the PC Police. It seems a lot of blog readers have them on speed dial.)

Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Ambient/Electronica/Downtempo/Drum and Bass music. Puts me me to sleep lol. I love that stuff. Soothing. I got hooked on it when I had XM Radio. Me likey.

My bengals lost today, with a last minute fumble turning the ball over to the seahawks at the last minute.

I need to lose some weight. I will be getting my ass up in the morning to start exercising. Not looking forward to it, but I also don’t look forward to weighing 500 pounds when I’m forty. Exercise sucks less than obesity.

I do wish I could afford to go to the gym though. I prefer that to walking around the neighborhood. But I be poor, so I have no choice.

My ipod is good for that though. I need to get a workout playlist though.

Dad is having a lot of seizures. Today we had to give him the harsh sedative again. But this is only one bad day after three or four good ones, his prognosis looks better.

Simpsons is back in form. It was pretty weak last season, but the premier is pretty nice.

More later.

Peace of Christ
