"Love can be complicated/ Too often mistranslated/ One word for all dynamics/ Leads to problematic."
"Everything U R" - Lindsay Pagano
That's right. I have quoted a song by a bubble-gum pop singer. Why? Well, despite the use of single letters to represent words in the title, it's actually a pretty good song. It is a simplistic look at how a young person veiws love. Now what could be better than that? Besides, the girl is cute.
Anyway, love songs have a particularily strong hold on me right now. See , ihave a girlfriend. Her name is Lisa.
After almost 2 years without an honest-to-gods girlfriend, it is nice for me. Someone to spend time with, who appreciates my intricacies, jokes, and views on life, and doesn't get mad at me when I act like I'm completely insane.
Now, up until 3 days ago, i thought Lisa was going to Florida to take a job at a newspaper. She decided to turn the job down, and is staying in Minnesota (yay!).
Anyway, to sum up: Ken happy; good. Girfriend leaving state; bad. George Bush; still an asshole.
OK, so that had nothing to do with George Bush. He is still an idiot.
When is the last time Chanukah, the end of Ramadan, and the Winter Solstice were celebrated in the White House? Please, Pres. You aren't fooling anybody with this "We love all religions" bullshit.
Im you believe in a religion, you believe it is the right religion. That's the point. I have little use for people who feel that one religion has all of the answers. I have less use for people who claim to be of a faith, say, Christian, but then celebrate the holy days of other religions to make himself look good. I notice he went with the two biggies, Islam and Judaism, but left out the greatest holiday of them all, the Solstice. Maybe we'll see Dubya out on the White House lawn dancing naked around a bonfire giving sacrifices to Diana, Mother of the Hunt. Wouldn't that be cool?
My point is, people shouldn't celebrate something they don't believe in, especially for PR purposes. I don't go to Midnight Mass anymore. I still exchange gifts with my family, though I could do away with it, but that is a totally secular practice that has fuck-all to do with religion of any kind.
But time passes, and with each day we get closer to Christmas and the year 2002. What will next year bring?
Maybe we'll catch Osama bin Laden, and  maybe something even cooler will happen. Maybe, everyone will get together and decide that all of this killing is not helping, and we should all just lay down our guns, come out and talk things out. Then, we can pick our guns back up and kill anyone who is "not with us." Yep, G.W.'s wet dream come true.
Anyway, I will have the year's best and worst before the strike clocks midnight on the 31st. Wait; Strike that - Reverse it (c. Willy Wonka).
A quick preview- "Top News Story of 2001 - 'Scientists discover that Earth less likley to be hit by an asteroid than previously thought.'"
You think it ain't? (c. Common Man)
I'm Ken Feucht, and I want some snow.
