I'm Fucking Angry... Angry... Pissed... Et Fucking Cetra...

Probably only half as much as I'll be tomorrow.

It's 1:30 am, I'm tired, and I don't want to be writing this. I stood for four hours in the cold to watch the man I believe can save us. I'll talk about that some other time, although I must say, it was really funny when the big scary gay guy grabbed Davie Boy's ass.

Beyond that, i'm pissed, if I had not mentioned it. Why? Let's see, Republicans lie. I don't believe they even make an effort to mearly misinform anymore, they just fucking lie. Not to mention of course that Democrates aren't man enough to call them on it.

Let's get a little more specific here. First, I'm on the way home from Mom's, where I ditched my car before the movie, which I'll also mention later. Any how, the Buick is a piece of shit, so I needed more gas. Not that it wasn't at a quarter tank before I drove all of 15-20 miles east. Any how, if I'd forgotten to mention it some how in the past, Euclid's just a little ghetto. That's an understatement, like saying George Bush is just kind of an asshole. Anyhow, there is this dirty fat chick hanging out at the gas station, and when I first approached her, I tried to play nice, I really did. I was actually at a good mood at this point in time. Made some mini-small talk while the women behind an inch thick plexiglass tracked down my pepsi.

I mentioned, in passing really, that I was out at the Kerry rally. And, she said something that was not only untrue, but amazingly retarded. "You take a lemon, and cut it in half, one half is Kerry's brain, the other half is Bush, put two halves together and we might have something." Now, this was just poor, but also a little unclear. So, I suggest that there are signifigant differences between the candidates on all fronts, but most apparently on domestic issues. She said, they really both stand for the same thing. I just looked at her... She even went as far as to blatently declare that Kerry was trying to destroy our right to free speech. I almost lost it. She said to me that it wasn't something he said recently, but something he said when running for office two years ago. Now, my memory is a little unclear here, but I think I might of actually stabbed her. So, I mentioned that Kerry wasn't running for president two years ago, CAUSE THERE WASN'T A FUCKING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN 2002. Then, I took a breathe and said to her...

"I don't mind that you seem to disagree with me on a few issues, what really bothers me is how uninvolved and uninformed you are. We live in a modern age where mass media gives us all access to each candidate and issue. I don't care if you do so through MTV or CNN, but atleast do a little research before you pretend to formulate an opinion."

That put me in a rather foul mood. It really bothers me a lot. It's not hard to try to stay informed or worldly.

But, then let's move forward to the media betraying the people.

Eminem is a prominent figure of pop culture. He's a natural descenter, and amazingly popular. He's lyrically and musically gifted. Honestly, he's got the midus touch when it comes to the music industry. Recently, he made a video for a new song of his called Mosh.

Take a moment, watch it. More importantly, listen. On his previous LP, Eminem put out a track called "White America" which was critical of the governments actions towards free speech suppression and repression. This is much more direct, and has a great message laced within.

This is a great video and a powerful song, by an amazing artist. Yet, we don't see it on MTV. We don't hear it on the radio, and no one has real access to it directly. There is only one vulgarity precisely placed within the song. As an artist with an opinion, he was repressed.

This is bullshit.

p.s.- Republicans aren't bad, in therory. Just like Socialism or Communism aren't all that bad in therory, but this bastardized version we're recently submitting to is enough to drive someone like me insane.
