a-political a-hole, eh?

so tuesday was election day. there was lots of preserving and defeating of gay rights. a democrat took governor in virginia. the only good thing was an entire school board who tried to get intelligent design into schools in pa was ousted. but the moral of the story: i dont give a fuck.

lately, i've found myself ever more a-political. i just dont care. fuck it. no matter who's running the country things are gonna be 1 of 2 ways: bad or worse. and you know what? i can't honestly say that anything has really changed these last 5 years. yeah i think a lot of stupid shit has gone on with our country and others, but when it all comes down to it, very little has affected me. maybe that's cuz i'm still in school, so i dont feel the full force of everything. sure i mean gas prices suck, etc, and global warming, but you know what nature's done for me lately? it's given me a cold and santos a parasite. fuck it.

it's a very cynical view. some might call it selfish. i disagree (to an extent (i feel we're all selfish, we've talked about this in previous posts)), but i dont care what you call it. it takes forever to accomplish stuff, and very little gets done. and of the stuff that does, very little has practical impact. you may disagree, but i dont feel anything different. nothing has affected how i live. until it does, i ask, why should i care?

Jesus. Much like the nature of politics you are swinging one way for a while. In time you will swing back to caring and feeling, then back again. Its different everytime but always the same. I've been there, i may be there now in some way or another. You know it too dont you?

i could see that. it's been a terrible week. atrocious. when that happens suddenly things like politics dont matter as much for a while.
