just like ann arbor
Sunday night I slept in my sweatpants and sweatshirt under all the blankies. Last night I just didn't want to leave the house again to go to the gym. Too damn cold out. Sorry bud, it's cold and windy here too. Bring yer parka.
But I was actually, truly tired last night by about 10. I had the will power to turn away from all the hottiemacfurry.com sites, and kept away from CivIII. In bed by 11 with earplugs in, and out like a rock. I feel remarkably clear and rested today, despite the weekend's excesses.
Maybe it's that I thought (I stand corrected today) I had finished one project at work, or maybe my insomnia stretch is over. Anyhow, good to be thinking clearly today. And I got a date on Friday with Hottie McFurry on Friday! Yee haw!
I happened to walk in on the State of the Union Speech last night right when W said nothing about marriage except that it's a holy institution and all that shit. Despite my peppy mood today, I know we are all fucking doomed. I don't see any Democratic candidate with the charisma to take Bush out of his seat. They are all watered down buffoons. While I'm all for Wes Clark, I just don't see him pulling it off either. Bush spends more than me, and we are going to be paying for his crazy expenditures for decades. And Bush is gonna get re-elected and nothing is going to move forward for queers, either in the military or for legal protection for civil same-sex unions. Sorry for the gloom, I just think we're in for another term with W, not that I'm for it.

As a person who saw the speech last night (An hour I will never get back)
I am suprised that people take the crap that he puts out. War on Steriods? What ever. Protect the Holy institution of Marriage(Has he seen whats on FOX?)
The Only thing I did agree with him was to salute those who are currently served or had served in the armed forces.
I find it interesting that Rob and I can be honoured for serving our country when we were both in the military, but yet we can not be given the simple reconition of a law abiding marriage by the same country we served.
Thats about as Kosher as a Pork rind

i'm for Clark, too... but my outlook is just about as bleak as yours, my friend. in any case, i and my parka are on the way out, and i hope for a good few days. i forget if we were talking about catching Fog of War of Battle of Algiers while i'm out there but i'll get in touch.

don't give up hope. it is an evenly divided electorate and ALOT can happen between now and November.
