Fate pisses me off, man.

So this morning I was thinking about how the Bush administration messed everyithing up so badly when it occurred to me why this has all happened. What GW did, bringing back all these Reagan-Bush era lackeys and putting 'em back to work is akin gathering up all the General Motors execs from the late 70's through the 80's and putting 'em back in charge of GM. Can you imagine that?! GM would be busting out all these shitty cars again, like the Chevy Citation and the Cadillac Cimarron. Why, they'd run the entire company into the ground. It's the same thing...sorta. I guess what I'm thinking is that these current Bush guys are stuck in the go-go 80's and this is 2004. Anyway, I guess it's not so profound...or even apt. But I wore my "Kerry for President" shirt today, anyway, and felt pretty good about it.

I woke up early today to an email from someone that I had been missing terribly for the last ten days. Well, at that point I felt that it was too little, too late, and I was feeling angry and hurt. I hastily wrote back to her that I was tired of "begging for scraps" of her time. But such is the power this woman has over me that her response email sucked me right back into the game. For a few more days anyway. This thing we have had brewing for the last few months is just so poorly timed. She'll be leaving CMU in a few weeks and that'll most likely be it. I wish I'd met her a year ago. But on the bright side, she really snapped me out of the coma I had been in for the last few years. But it still sucks to meet someone who you have a very real, palpable connection with, but circumstances won't allow the two of you to even begin to explore it. It is really beginning to bum me out.

I thought I had more, but it was a busy day.
