god talk and other inconsequentials
This has been the most ludicrous week of my life.
And if you don't know me, trust that is indeed quite ludicrous. I'm trying to think of other ludicrous things that have happened to me, like the standard ludicrous times i've been kidnapped or crashed my bike in the mountains of Spain or the things that seem ludicrous to me, and me only, like the time i discovered Welsh has remarkably few palindromes, or the day Thomas, my cat, ate several cups of canned corn i had inadvertantly microwaved thrice, or the time my usually straight hair formed itself into 1954 beehive completely of its own accord.
But this is the most ludicrous of all.
I feel uncreative, as i can't think of any other way to say it.
I was talking with my BASE friend Rebecca in Science hall yesterday, basically verbalizing my last post dealing with Shame, and a random passerby looked me in the eye and said he was ashamed too. We all feel it.
Madison is a good place to be now, we are united by our shame.
But everyone is of the same opinion, and the liberal left is equally capable of stagnant catchwords as the christian right.
In midst of a conversation with my roommate on why i don't believe in god, Bush's environmental 'policies' came up, and she honestly (HONESTLY) didn't know he's been bad for the environment.
I, of course, know such things and tried to elucidate the situation, but the catchy misnomers the bushies use make all such attempts seem trivial and cynical. His Healthy Forest Act is a timber company giveaway, his Clean Air Act is a 40-year rollback of every little thing we've done, the man didn't accept global warming until a week ago, and still considers the Kyoto Treaty too harsh on America.
So i am personally shamed now, just to add to the mixture of depression. I know these things are fact, and i cannot convince an otherwise well-meaning individual of their importance.
In other Ludicrous News, Elizabeth Edwards has breast cancer.
Damn, that corn was gross. Where do i find such pets?
