Finally managed to get my antenna just right to tune in all the local HD channels here in Dallas. I had to get an amplified antenna which seemed kinda silly given my distance but whatever works I guess. Now FOX just needs to join the now and quit calling 480p "HIGH DEFINITION" already. No more Steve Nash in Dallas is a bummer. That wacky Canadian was intense. So keeping with my nomadic ways and given that my roomate was off to buy a house I've moved once again as of today. I'm just keeping a steady pace of 1 move per year for the past um... 6 years? Given that I've only got a few years left of my 20's I should probably be trying to buy property huh? Movie: Have you noticed, wherever you go there's a body count?

    Fucking right! I can't say these things because I'm white, and to say them would label me a racist, but hearing them out of Bill Cosby, a guy who I've always greatly admired (which, by definition, kinda rules out the racist thing) makes me respect him even more!

    And it's not just black people! I get tired of catching up with people that I went to high school with (white, black, yellow, red and purple) and having to hear about how "lucky" I am to have a good job. Lucky, my ass. I flunked out of college like the majority of my peers, but rather than moaning about it, and taking up weed and beer as my full time occupation, I worked my ass off and started a career anyway. I refuse to chalk that up to luck. Did I get a lot of breaks along the way? Absolutely! Are there some folks who are poor, or underprivelaged because they hit a stretch of bad luck? I'm positive there are! But to watch my friends and family complain about "the economy" and how "Bush is making everything bad" and that's why they're almost 30, living at home, with no prospects makes me mad as hell! This is United Motherfucking States of God-Damned America! Land of Motherfucking Opportunity! You cannot tell me that you can't make anything of yourself when there are people every day who show up in this country with little but the clothes on their back and make a pretty freaking awesome life for themselves out of nothing but hard work, and a little faith.

    Stop bitching, get off the couch, and do something if you're so unhappy. Things are a lot better than they could be; when is the last tiem the bus you were riding on was blown up by a religious nut? The last religious nuts I ran into just talked my ear off, and had the courtesy to shake my hand when he was done.
