12:32 pm	George W. Bush, Clown in Chief If the NSA, CIA, SS, or FBI is reading this I want you to understand that the President is a nationalistic reactionary buffoon who has no grasp of history, sociology, or even basic humanity. While "slowing the growth of medicare" along with education and other social programs, he is increasing defense spending by seven percent. What message does this send to the American people and to the world? It says that America is a nation that will let its elderly die in poverty, America is a nation that cares more about inflicting violence on its enemies than instilling knowledge into future minds, America is a nation that is easily sedated and blinded to the actions of its own government. The only solace I can take from this whole situation is that one day, a long time from now history will look upon our time and condemn it for its fear, ignorance, and corruption. Until then I refuse to rest until people in the government remember that they have a greater call than to defend the lives of people, they must also enrich those people's lives by making sure that the elderly do not die in poverty, defending the environment, and defending the liberal, yes liberal, values on which this country was founded. Oh and to the aforementioned agencies and to the government, I'm watching you too. Current Mood: Frustrated Beyond Belief (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:21 am	WUT UP Well I figured I would share the good news with everyone....Will's Pregnant. We're having a baby. Naaa...I booked my schedule for next semester and I have 4 day weekends class TWR so that's fabuous. Enjoy this quiz!!!! ENTJ You scored 80 Flow of Energy, 60 Info Processing, 40 Decision Making, and 40 Lifestyle! ENTJ ENTJs make aggressive, enthusiastic partners who take their commitments very seriously. As in other aspects of their life, they want to be the leader in the relationship, and take on responsibility for making things work. The are creative leaders, and are likely to have relationships which promote constant growth and learning. Since they are constantly scanning the environment for new ideas and things worth learning, the ENTJ may frequently re-define the "rules" of the relationship, although their commitment remains constant. If it becomes very clear to them that the relationship no longer offers any chance of growth or learning, the ENTJ will leave the situation, and not look back. ENTJs are usually very successful in their careers, and usually very good with money. This is helpful in that it may remove a lot of the conflict which couples generate over money matters, but it may become a problem if the ENTJ is too much of a workaholic to spend time on the growth and development of the relationship. The ENTJ is not naturally in-tune with the feelings and emotions of their partners. ENTJs who allow themselves time to be alone, and develop the introspective "feeling" side of their natures, will be generally "softer" individuals, who are more aware of their partners' emotional needs. However, this awareness is almost always a conscious attempt on the part of the ENTJ, rather than a naturally occuring characteristic. ENTJs who do not make the attempt to be aware of others, and to value their feelings and opinions, may find themselves in unbalanced relationships, where real communication does not take place. These kinds of situations present a two-edged sword to the ENTJ. They want to be in charge, but if they become so much in charge as to stifle their partners, they will eventually become bored with the relationship. Sexually, the ENTJ is robust, imaginative and enthusiastic. Their natural instinct to lead will be apparent in this arena as well as other areas of life, and they will lead their partner on creative lovemaking adventures, where the focus is on mutual learning and affection sharing. They're likely to expect sex on a relatively scheduled basis. The ENTJ does not usually have a problem with self-confidence and is not especially emotionally needy. Although they enjoy being told that they are loved and appreciated, they don't need to hear these types of avowals as often as most other types. If they are partnered with a Feeling type, they are probably not likely to fulfill their partner's needs for intimate words without conscious effort. Even with effort, the ENTJ may have problems being aware of other's emotional needs, and they most likely won't understand those needs even if they are aware of them. ENTJs approach conflict as an opportunity for growth and learning. This is a very healthy outlook in general, but may be a problem in a close relationship with a Feeling type. Individuals with the Feeling preference generally detest conflict and criticism, and avoid it as one would avoid a deadly snake. The ENTJs tendency to be confrontational may be very threatening to a person with a Feeling preference - especially so if they are an intimate partner of the ENTJ. An ENTJ who has a well-developed Feeling side may work well with a partner with a Feeling preference. Otherwise, ENTJs will probably have the most successful intimate relationships with types which prefer the Thinking process naturally, or who are not extremely strong on the Feeling preference. In general, the ENTJ has a lot to offer to their intimate relationships. They're dedicated and enthusiastic, and willing to put forth a lot of effort to make things work out. They take on responsibility and accountability, and expect to be in charge. Their relationship will be one based on mutual respect, constant growth and development. Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, ENTJ's natural partner is the INTP, or the ISTP. What is your personality type and do you match with the ENTJ?

8:42 am	It's my Birthday Your Birthdate: April 29 Your birthday on the 29th adds a tone of idealism to your nature. You are imaginative and creative, but rather uncomfortable in the business world. You are very aware and sensitive, with outstanding intuitive skills and analytical abilities. The 29 reduces to 11, one of the master numbers which often produces much nervous tension. This is the birthday of the dreamer rather than the doer. You do, however, work very well with people. What Does Your Birth Date Mean? Well I am no of legal age to imbibe and purchase alcohol!!! WOOOOOO!!!! Now I can do legally, what I've been doing since I was 15. Anyways, I hope today is fun, anyone who speaks German which is, none of you really, should come and see the play I'm in tonight @ 7.00 at the Student Center Theater. Well that's all I really have to say. Current Mood: BIRTHDAY!!!!! Current Music: Betzi's Breathing (9 Comments |Comment on this)

11:14 pm	Apartment Found!!! Sadly next year the triumvirate is destined to break apart, temporarily. With Anand leaving for med school it will be only Crassus and Pompey to hold down the fort. Today we took the first step towards the realization that things will change when we found out where we will be living next year. Will and I have pretty much secured an apartment at 221 E. Maxwell right across the street from the German house. It's 900 sq. ft. and will have an obscene amount of space, so maybe small get togethers will be hosted there. I am supposed to be doing work right now (I'm at Ovid's) but I just don't feel like it. I guess I better get back to it. 'Til Next Time Current Mood: blank (Comment on this)

You cater to a large population and make for a nice breather from New York's concrete jungle, though a few too many people come to see you at once.

11:31 am	So I just got a call from the principal at the new Elementary School in Oldham Co. who wants me to be the interim director of their daycare for the Summer until they can find someone permanent. It's going to be a tough job, but I'm gonna make a ton of money, mostly because I won't have any spare time to spend money. This is going to be a really fucking challenging job, but I'm kind of looking forward to it in a weird way. P.S. Anand has been turned to the Dark Side by Will, his soul is gone, it is time for an intervention to bring the old carefree Anand back. HE WAS THE CHOSEN ONE!!! Current Mood: YAY!!!
