Just another post holiday rant

Happy Black Friday. I am calling this Stay Home and Read Day a/k/a Malls are Evil Day. This has nothing to do with the silly notion that we should support world peace by buying nothing today. That, I don't get. Read what Led has to say for my further views on this.

So, we will stay home today and read. The kids will read the further adventures of Harry Potter, whichever of the books they are up to now, and I will finally get finished with Choke. In between there will be tv watching, board game playing, eating of leftovers and general family contendedness. Of course, this all goes by the wayside as soon as the cousins knock on the door looking for DJ to play football, or one of Natalie's friends calls. Either way, I am not in any way, shape or form venturing out into the traffic nightmare that is the day after Thanksgiving. When you know that you are not a people person, you avoid situations which may cause you to come into contact with way too many people at once. Avoids further court dates, murder trials, etc.

Thanksgiving wasn't so bad. The moron fiance of my sister had his mother join us for dinner, so he was on his best behavior. No politicking, no preaching, no jokes at the expense of one minority or another. The only break in the pleasantries came when my sister called my father a communist for buying a BMW (i was mistaken the other day, it wasn't a Mercedes, it was a beemer). She went into her Buy America rah rah rah spiel, but stopped when I politely but firmly pointed out to her that her DVD player, television set, stereo and computer were all non-American made items and they were probably the items most used in her home. I also pointed out that her Nike sneakers were definitely not made in the U.S. of A., but that she was at least supporting our president by purchasing items made by companies hell-bent on global domination and the legalization of sweatshops.

Anyhow, it was a mostly pleasant day, capped with a very physical game of Pictionary, in which everyone's drawings started to look like penises after a while. Too much wine, too much food, not enough napping. And oh yes, the Packers won. Barely.

As I have the day off today and the kids don't seem to be interested in me at all for the moment, I will allow myself the luxury of posting as much as I want to today. Weekends were made for blogging.

Evil rules the earth between men and women.Money & sex has destroyed any hopes of finding true love.Our society has become corrupted and I can give you a few examples.Celebrities are admired and sought after with those who have crushes and adore these people.Even if their a known cheater on their spouse they are still admired.People look at things in materialistic way.The perfection the media,movies,magazines project is were all suppose to look a certain way while being glamourized.The computer is another teen toy along with adults use it to carry out fantasies from those who seek thrills from their bored lives.From pictures to chat rooms and how many times do you see a/s/l? In a days time it's 1000's being countless.It's pathetic people have reduced themselves to a electronic device such as a computer to create a social life while enhancing some sort of unreal fantasy.

What else can i say after all this ?!

I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an
argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and
steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect,
they don't even invite me.

Every possible idea therefore may be said to be used existentially, for every possible idea qualifies and is true of a real world. And the number of real worlds, in a word, is indefinite. Every idea therefore in a sense is true, and is true of reality. The question with every idea is how far and in what sense is it true. The question is always whether, qualifying reality in one sense, the idea qualifies reality in another sense also. For, true in one world, an idea may be false in another world... by poker tournaments
