Dumbocrats

School

Learned about Jainism in my World Religions class today. In my opinion the people are nuts. The monks and nuns pluck all their head and facial hair out twice a year. Don't shave it, they yank it out with their hands. And they walk around with a little sweepy thing to brush things out of the way when they're walking so they won't kill any bugs. And they have to brush with the little sweepy thing if they want to turn over in their sleep, too. And it's considered a noble way to die when you become old and a burden to just stop eating. Starve yourself to death. Do it.

Life

Pretty happy with the way things are going. It's a brand new day, the sun is shining, and I have infinite options for my future.

Listening me some good classic rock right now. First it was some Doobie Brothers and now it's some Boston. Finally being somewhat productive in my spare time. Currently running two loads in the wash and about to get started on the dishes that have been piled in my sink for probably over a month. Then to collect the junk from everywhere it's not supposed to be that it is, stick stuff in the dryer, finally renew my lease, get a work order so they'll come fix my two leaky faucets,.... I swear it never ends. Then going to work out with Amy before work.

Politics

My grandparents send me email fwd's CONSTANTLY. Yeah, that's about the only thing they know how to do on the computer. What I wonder is why they feel the need to send me, for example, emails titled "Dumbocrats" containing Obama comics, etc. Do they think they're going to convert me? Bring me back from the Dark Side? Just wondering....

It's interesting to me how I'm fairly liberal in just about every arena of life, yet have these random traditional moments in certain things....

XOXO,
