Cogito Ergo

People that I hang with know I'm usually calm and pleasant but that hasn't always been the case.  I used to be quiet and morose, which was a drain on my spirit but going back to that isn't the emotion that I fear most.  I don't get emotional because I've gone the fuck off before. If you aren't a person that has been that pissed off before you are one lucky soul.  Being that kind of angry is bad for everyone.  Especially the fool that gets that mad. How mad have I been before?  Back when I was in high school, on two separate occasions, I almost killed a nigga. The first time I was about to kill someone, this dude stole my watch.  It was shitty and plastic sure, but it was MY fucking watch. Back story:  I was always a loner.  I was quiet, small and got absolutely ZERO ass in high school which meant I was a prime target for bullies. Basically I was the opposite of what I am now but deep down I'm very much still that awkward kid. Anyhoo...

The Whitehouse spoke out against the video (a fucking YouTube video) and Mitt Romney decided to call this an apology for American Values.  While I agree, Americans do love YouTube and we do love shitting on each other's religions, something Mitt Romney should be well versed on, being ...

I've finally calmed down from watching the Republican National Convention and it is sad to say, the person that lied and contradicted himself the least was talking to an imaginary person.  Yeah, i'll say it again, the most honest person at the RNC was rambling and talking to an empty chair.  There is something wrong with a party that truly believes that God wants Americans to be better off than every other country in the world.  We thin we are the chosen people.  Its like were turning into Israel 2.0. There is something wrong with a party that truly believes that they're not rich enough when they are the richest collection of people in the world. There is something wrong with a party that thinks if that they trot out enough tokens, they will magically convince us all that they are inclusive. The thing I'm not sure about is if they think we're stupid enough to believe them or do they actually believe some of the trash they spew.  I miss Sarah Palin. ...
