A great article on Ron Paul. Or specifically, the flaws of Ron Paul. Keep in mind this is a really long piece of political flamebait.

"The Soviet Union had a single, entrenched, systemically corrupt political party, which held a monopoly on power. The US has two entrenched, systemically corrupt political parties, whose positions are often indistinguishable and which together hold a monopoly on power. In either case, there is, or was, a single governing elite, but in the United States it organizes itself into opposing teams to make its stranglehold on power seem more sportsmanlike. It is certainly more sporting to have two capitalist parties go at each other than just having the one communist party to vote for. The things they fight over in public are generally symbolic little token of social policy, chosen for ease of public posturing. The Communist party offered just one bitter pill. The two capitalist parties offer a choice of two placebos. The latest innovation is the photo finish election, where each party pre-purchases exactly 50 percent of the vote through largely symmetrical allocation of campaign resources and the result is pulled out of statistical noise, like a rabbit out of a hat. It is a tribute to the intelligence of the American people that so few of them bother to vote."

This Scumbag Steve applies to me →

Scumbag Steve: Breaks up with you, continues to use your netflix account.

(Of course, I did it mostly to load up her instant queue with slasher movies, and movies about the girl cheating on the guy, since that’s what she did.)

So yeah, totally guilty of this last year. Hahaha.

Echos in my mind.

When I think:

“She will never love you again in this lifetime.”

I also think:

“I will love her for the rest of my lifetime.”

I calm myself with this quote by the Buddha:

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a coal from the fire to hurl at your enemy: you are the one who gets burned.”

It is 2012, and life is very good right now and speeding up. This year is up to me to define. It will be one where I hold on to what_I_am because of what_I’ve_been_through while letting go of what’s_in_the_past.

Life and I, we only go in one direction. Forward.

The world keeps turning for everyone else on the day that you die.

You know you’re way too into cats when you create cat version’s of video game characters / ex-Navy SEALs.

Then again, I’m totally all-for an all-cat version of Burn Notice. But this is because I believe most USA Network shows could replace their entire cast with cats and still make the same product.
