The second you say "fuck" twice in a movie your film becomes "R". No exceptions. Pretty crazy, huh? You can blow someone's head off, but 2 fucks makes you unwatchable for someone under 17. Unless they have their parent there to explain it to them. "Mom, I understood the first use of the word fuck, but what's with the second - give me guidance please. I've heard one fuck before, but ever since I heard the second one I've had this insatiable desire to rob a liquor store and refer to all women as "ho's".
check out his blog which ev turned me on to. it definitely made me

2) failed to thoroughly investigate the facts
3) reported documents to the American people as true to make his case
4) when confronted with the facts: apologized and launched an investigation
5) number of Americans dead: 0
6) remedy: should be fired as CBS News Anchor

George W. Bush, President of the United States
1) given documents he thought were true
2) failed to thoroughly investigate the facts
3) reported documents to the American people as true to make his case
4) when confronted with the facts: continued to report untruth and stonewalled an investigation
5) number of Americans dead: 1100
6) remedy: should be given four more years as President of the United States?

VALUABLE INFO

not as informed politically as you'd like to be? don't know who to vote for come nov. 2nd?

Voter's Self-Defense:
a one-hour nonpartison lecture/video presentation that focuses on ways we can protect ourselves from the media manipulation and negative campaigning surrounding major elections.

TONIGHT - 7pm - emerson - absolutely free! INFORM YOURSELF, BETTER THE NATION!!

uh oh- it's political again.

here is an excerpt from ma latest kerry email. *fingers crossed, fingers crossed, fingers crossed*

Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell. But that was not, in itself, a reason to go to war. The satisfaction we take in his downfall does not hide this fact: we have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure.

The president has said that he "miscalculated" in Iraq and that it was a "catastrophic success." In fact, the president has made a series of catastrophic decisions from the beginning in Iraq. At every fork in the road, he has taken the wrong turn and led us in the wrong direction.

The first and most fundamental mistake was the president's failure to tell the truth to the American people.

He failed to tell the truth about the rationale for going to war. And he failed to tell the truth about the burden this war would impose on our soldiers and our citizens.

By one count, the president offered 23 different rationales for this war. If his purpose was to confuse and mislead the American people, he succeeded.

His two main rationales -- weapons of mass destruction and the Al Qaeda/September 11 connection -- have been proved false by the president's own weapons inspectors and by the 9/11 Commission. Just last week, Secretary of State Powell acknowledged the facts. Only Vice President Cheney still insists that the earth is flat.

ps- will ferrell is always amusing... AND YES IT IS STILL SOMETHING PO-LIT-I-CALLLL!!

life is bizarre

political jive: can we stop talking about vietnam now?

secondly: a gal on myspace asked if her being confident intimidated guys, cuz that's what her friends told her & she thought it was crap. one guy's response-

College boys employ the "fuck'm and duck'm" strategy... confidence and assertiveness is hard to shake (duck). They'd take a less attractive girl without a brain.

Please remove your brain and try again.

how terribly disheartening. sigh.

thirdish: i enjoy the nico tracks on the royal tenenbaums sndk. this song is called, the fairest of seasons-
Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end
Now that it's real
Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe try another time
And do I really have a hand in my forgetting ?

Now that I've tried
Now that I've finally found that this is not the way,
Now that I turn
Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe finally split the rhyme
And do I really understand the undernetting ?

Yes and the morning has me
Looking in your eyes
And seeing mine warning me
To read the signs carefully.

Now that it's light
Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind
Now that it's here
Now that I'm almost not so very far behind
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe follow another sign
And do I really have a song that I can ride on ?

Now that I can
Now that it's easy, ever easy all around.
Now that I'm here
Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And do I have to do just one
And can I choose again if I should lose the reason ?

Yes, and the morning
Has me looking in your eyes
And seeing mine warning me
To read the signs more carefully.

Now that I smile,
Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside.
Now that I see,
Now that I finally found the one thing I denied
It's now I know do I stay or do I go
And it is finally I decide
That I'll be leaving
In the fairest of the seasons.

3 months till my bday ;)

i'm actually not familiar with this song at all, but i caught a snipet of it in someone's profile & it caught my eye:

It's For the Best- Straylight Run

it takes more time than i've ever had

drains the life from me

makes me want to forget

as young as i was, i felt older back then

more disciplined, stronger and certain

but i was scared to death of eternity

i was saved by grace

but destroyed by naivety

and i lied to myself

and said it was for the best

so now faith is replaced with a logic so cold

i've disregarded what i was

now that i'm older

and i know much more than i did back then

but the more i learn

the more i can't understand

and i've become content with this life that i lead

where i drink to much and don't believe in much of anything

and i lie to myself

and say "it's for the best."

we're moving forward, but holding ourselves back

and we're waiting on something that will never come

alright, totally have to post kristin's info. absolute quality:

Best line I've heard in a long time:
Manny: What have you been up to Kristin?
K: studying anatomy.
Manny: Wanna study some real anatomy?

smart is sexy...

Ay, what a beautiful day!

turned in the almighty personal essay paper today... we'll see what mr self proclaimed hardest grader in the writing department thinks of it. now that i'm actually on a trying to write kick, i hope that others enjoy the reading part. either way, i was pleased with the results.

so holy crap, richard simmons is coming! definitely the most amazing news i heard all day. i realize the day is not yet through, but i'm pretty damn sure u can't top it.

i like sun chips

CJBukes: It is about my pee pee

so score, i made miss emily's top 10 list of chicks she'd date if she were gay. if that's not an accomplishment, i don't know what is.

Hmm... I haven't felt much like bloggin' it up lately. I've been scandalously *gasp* motivated these past 2 days.

Happy Housekeeper Appreciation Day!
... man, who knew it was mother's day already?
OHHHH!!!

oh yeah, & i'm still sexist. check ya later ;)

insane in the membrane...

oof. so this personal essay class is tearing through my conciousness. i'm sure my prof would be glad to hear it, but meanwhile, my head just keeps swirling with possible bits to write about & what not & ay, it's driving me mad.

my body is all tennis? dancing? why? oh bother. i don't wanna get old(er). i don't really like this 20 thing too much. i liked older teens, but i think this sucks. it's very in the middle. i feel like everyday is just spent waiting for the next to blossum... esp with this whole classes -> degree --> job thing.

Oh, I forgot. I was going to attempt to use capitalization. I read an article about grammar in blogs and felt like a bit of a hypocrite... being a grammar freak and all. I should probably cut back on the '...' as well, but who doesn't love the illusion of suspense now & then?

here's a lame quiz, woo woo! it says make out a lot, & verifies that i'm not a bad ass.
You're a plain white silky bra with a little bow in
the middle, you don't like to take chances and
play it too safe.


What type of bra are you?

oh bother...

"uhm, excuse me, i'd like to get by now..."

karl's away message: 11 people lifted and moved a double-parked car tonight on kendall st. crazy. i wish i could have seen it.

OH i was so up on that! ha, hooray for college yet again

i wish i had pale legs -matt. it won't be funny to you. ...which makes it even FUNNIER. ha!

dude, for me, i am so friggin' tan right now. let's just get that out there one more time before it fades. no more pool... many rainy days... sigh

so writing a paper about yourself is hard. not because it's difficult to think up subject matter, but because you have a sort of internal censor which stops you from getting too risque. i spent hours working on my first draft of "who am i?" last night. great title, right? nothing like an intangible theme to start out a class. my prof apparently doesnt give out As and is ruthless. score! perhaps i will post some of the paper here when i am through, or submit it to buzzsaw. we shall see. thanks to the whole 2 of you who helped me out though, i appreciate it =)

oh, & so here's news: check out the premiere of 30 minutes for some hot lesbian action. that's always fun to see on public television, no? (validates kala's notion)

dude, chocolate rocks. this, my friends, is an eternal truth.

this is certainly long, but a lil' propoganda is always fun. read it if ya wanna get fiesty. i came across this on myspace.com, but i dunno where it is originally from-

BUSH'S RESUME

George W. Bush The White House, USA


EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

LAW ENFORCEMENT:

I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976, for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

MILITARY:

I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

COLLEGE:

I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.


PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:

I ran for U.S. Congress and lost.

I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.

With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry
(including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:

I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.

During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.

With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:

I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.

I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.

I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.

I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.

I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any
12-month period.

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history.

My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President.

I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron.

My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.

I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.

I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.

I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history.

I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.

I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.

I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.

I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.

I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).

I set the record for fewest number of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.

After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.

I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in war time.

In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.

I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans
(71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.

I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD.

PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004.

ok, so for my personal essay class, i'm supposed to be asking ppl what they honestly think of me. since everyone's mouth first runs through a fear filter, i present a proposal. if you feel so inclined, and would like to help stimulate my academic success, & perhaps even just have the chance to tell me what a ho u think i am, then plz leave a comment at the end of this post. feel free to make it anonymous or private or whatever ur little heart desires. but be honest, & don't just talk about my underwear.

oh, & i have to write the paper on wednesday night, so it wouldn't hurt to book it.

i thank ya *takes bow*

had a slumber party last night with marina, lucia, & jenna. it was amusing, & none of us felt like going out & acting like idiots anyway. marina & i always get laughing about the dumbest things... like inviting death to your slumber party. ha, ay. this story sucks though, cuz of course i can't remember why it was funny at 4AM. score!

i think i still have water in my ears from swimming with emily g 2 days ago. :/ the stace took me to cvs to get some drops, but ay, they still feel weird. i've also got a stuffy nose... this is probably god's way of telling me to stop being such a... whatever i'm being. oof.

awh, i ran into kat in the d-hall yesterday, hooray! she's a freshman here now, & such a sweetheart. good to see her indeed.

don't eat pancakes & quesadillas for breakfast. ...yeah, i know u weren't even considering it.

went downtown yesterday with jess & got some lovely new pins. there was a woman down there running a table for kerry, & i was like ooh, i want a sticker. so we go over, & jess inquires, & the woman lets out a very snippy reply of, "do you have a couple dollars?" meanwhile, she never explicitly stated that the $ was even for the campaign. hi, i'm a college student, the answer is no. so i gave her like, 50 cents... to empty my pockets if nothing else, & went to turn away. then suddenly she's all, "oh, u don't want anything?" so then i got a pin & a sticker. apparently, bumper stickers are only for cars. she asked me what i was gonna do with mine, & apparently, putting it on ur door isn't enough. this was just annoying to me, cuz if ur representing someone else, don't be so damn bitchy about it. if i'm coming over, & showing interest, this means that we share a connection on some level. bah, it just annoyed me, cuz now i feel as if my new fabulous kerry/edwards pin has been scorned.

ha, oh, but this is awesome.

i also got another lovely pin which reads, smart women vote. very simple, & quite cute... and another keith herring one, of course. i got a free mug out of it too, and a free bumper sticker which i was NOT harassed about. ooh, & a free bus ride back! hot damn alright. oh yes, 'tis the simplest of things which can bring us the greatest of joys.

enjoy the holiday, loves. *mwuh*

CJBukes: I'm so in your profile
CJBukes: and I so have a man-crush on you
CJBukes: Only neither you nor I are men
CJBukes: Mom, am I gay?

alright, can't help myself... it's gonna be political.

here's an excerpt from kerry's speech at a rally in springfield, OH this eve:

For three days in New York, instead of talking about jobs and the economy, we heard anger and insults from the Republicans. And I'll tell you why. It's because they can't talk about the real issues facing Americans. They can't talk about their record because it's a record of failure.

We all saw the anger and distortion of the Republican Convention. For the past week, they attacked my patriotism and my fitness to serve as commander in chief. Well, here's my answer. I'm not going to have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have and by those who have misled the nation into Iraq.

The vice president even called me unfit for office last night. I guess I'll leave it up to the voters whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty.

Let me tell you what I think makes someone unfit for duty. Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead this nation. Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting 45 million Americans go without health care makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting the Saudi royal family control our energy costs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Handing out billions of government contracts to Halliburton while you're still on their payroll makes you unfit. That's the record of George Bush and Dick Cheney. And it's not going to change. I believe it's time to move America in a new direction; I believe it's time to set a new course for America.

dude, ya gotta vote.

oh, ha, & here's a funny one:
The biggest news today is that Bush is going to win Alabama and South Dakota by landslides, 20% in the former and 16% in the latter. If he gets on the ballot. Technically, candidates have to file in Alabama before Aug. 31 and the Republicans didn't have a candidate by Aug. 31. Maybe they will make an exception this time.

singndrain310: i'm a fruitcake

oof, so i've been quite busy with this whole beginning of the semester jazz. i'm taking 18 credits, still doing 30 min, have signed on to be a copy editor for the paper, & will continue to pretend to write for buzzsaw. there have been lots of meetings to attend & such. i've been doing well though, not going to bed at 4. it's a whole new world when u don't feel more like ur about to pass out with every step. so yay, that's the update with me.

earlier today, i was talking with one of my many gals named em about $ & studying abroad and such. children are like leeches that you allow, she said. i thought that was awesome, cuz how true is that? i feel habitually guilty for most actions i take which involve monetary means, but alas, my parents elected to have this burden... i mean, i suppose i shouldn't think of myself as such, but ya know. those of us who are cheap, will always be cheap. we were talking about london. ay... such the expense. i'd love to live over there for a smidge, but alas, i be po'. if only there were another summer to rack in the dough before the abroad excursions begin. ha, & if only i weren't tempted by nearly every opportunity which presents itself.

i dont have many boys to stare at in my classes. what's with c&c being a hardcore girly major? my writing class, which actually has the most boys, also seems to hate me. i mean, to be fair, i did kind of insult them all in one sweep, but ehh, what can ya do. personal essay kids, let's get personal. i dont think accusing ppl of lying to themselves is the worst thing one could ever do to another. oh bother.

his parents are worried about him- he's 24, & he's not even engaged yet! -beth
ohhh the future. ha, let us chuckle while we can.

the following quiz is dedicated to cortney. i took out the graphic though, for the sake of the children.
Take the quiz: "What do your anime breasts look like, eh?"

Nicely Medium
You're nicely medium... You're not embarassingly small or painfully big. Don't change yourself, unless you're a masochist. Then it's okay, I guess.
