• Played cards last night at Scott’s. I felt better about the way I
  played last night compared to how I have played the past few months. In
  the 1st game, I was 6th out of 8th. The 2nd game, I was 4th out of 8th
  (one place out of money). I did fairly well in that game. The last game
  though, I lasted for all of 2 hands. TWO FUCKING HANDS!!! I have such a
  sour taste in my mouth from my last hand in that game and the 2nd game
  of the night, I, of course, thought about both games the whole ride
  home. I will be playing tonight with my cousin, so it will give me a
  chance to get right back out there and forget about those
  hands……….or, get frustrated all over again.

  So, Bush went on the attack against his critics about the war. What an
  ass. I wonder what things will be like in another year for him.Will he
  still be in office? Will he have had a nervous breakdown? He seems
  ready to lose it, from what they are saying and just looking at his
  demeanor and attitude. He also looks like shit. He looks like he has
  aged about 10 years since the election. I wonder if he is sitting there
  saying to himself “man, I wish I didn’t get re-elected.” And, it looks
  like things are only going to get worse and worse. For example, the
  baptist at work who voted for Bush last year says that he now believes
  Bush to be the worst president in the last 40 years. He also said that
  he was very critical of Clinton with the whole Monica thing, but even
  he admits now that at least when Clinton lied, it didn’t have this
  effect on the world. Where were these people last year? If they had
  seen this then, this fuck-up could have been held accountable for his
  actions and things wouldn’t be nearly as bad as they are now. Sure,
  Kerry was a pretty big slimeball and a weasel. But, he wouldn’t have
  fucked up to the extent that Bush has. Is it too late to have a recall
  election? Bush’s approval rating is a pathetic (and well-deserved) 37%.
  Among blacks, it is 2%! That is so low, its downright laughable. I
  mean, 2%. Think about this for a second. 98% of blacks do not like him.
  If Katrina had happened last year, Kerry would have won in a landslide.
  But, enough about what could of happened or what did happen. The sad
  fact of the matter is, Bush is president.

  Ever since I bought Green Day’s American Idiot, I can’t get enough of
  it. I have tried not listening to it, but the songs are stuck in my
  head. The funny part is that 10 years ago, I hated Green Day. But, this
  album is just so good and I agree with so much of it, that I just love
  it. Its so political. I agree with so many of the bands religious and
  political beliefs. They might even be more anti-Bush than I am. Its
  great. And, young people are listening to it and agreeing with it. Now,
  if only those young people had more power.

  Did you all hear about the 18 year old kid that won an election to be
  mayor of his town in Michigan? Letterman had a top 10 list about it,
  here it is:

  Top Ten Good Things About Being An 18-Year-Old Mayor 10. “Parents try to tell me what to do, I raise their taxes” 9. “Every night, a different member of The town council does my homework” 8. “It’s every teen’s dream: The power to reguLate zoning laws” 7. “Goodbye, education budget — Hello, brand new X-box” 6. “I got a call from Demi Moore” 5. “Trying to get The city hall on an episode of ‘MTV Cribs’” 4. “I don’t have to wait in line at Applebee’s anymore” 3. “School bullies now have to deal with The Feds” 2. “Only victory speech featuring The word ‘Dude’” 1. “It’s flattering when President Bush calls me
