If you ever wonder where all those millions are made daily on the public transportation system, come to the source, come to me. Today I took, listen well, 4 trains, half and hour each, and 8 yes 8 subways, twenty minutes each. Plus I walked to the station way to many times. All for what you may wonder, for this new sickness I have catched on either one of those trips, cause believe it or not a guy actually sniffed saliva right on my hand, by which I proceeded to cut my hand off and kill him. OK well not the former, I really didn't, I didn't kill him.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, the other day I posted something rather pessimistic and judgmental about the terminator, here you have it. Sometimes, time will prove us wrong. In my case 2 days are enough to God, but that's just fine if it works for better like in this case.
It is beyond my understanding why the media ain't asking both Kerry and Bush what their next steps are going to be about the gun control issue. I mean we all know where Bush stands there, but I think Kerry is way to afraid to touch this subject, as other, cause he thinks it'll hurt him, well guess what, showing himself afraid isn't good neither, who will vote a president who is afraid to talk about controversial subjects. That's the place where he can hit bases.
I once had a teacher, I guess the subject was called at that time Politics and Public Law, who said that there was a rule on Politics that never failed, which was, that every time a politician talks he looses votes. I don't agree with that. (And no, I didn't fight with him cause people I've learned my lesson, trust me.)
I agree with the fact that yeah they fuck it up speaking, but to think that they may loose votes for caring about discrimination, gun controls, wars, is nonsense.
The thing is that controversial issues are someone's problem now, and instead of thinking, no I will loose this part of society by speaking of this, solutions work better to the eye.
What lesson did 9/11 bring when you talk about positive things coming out of from negative ones? Well that is hard to see. All you can get is a reenforcement of purely simple things to remember on common basic activities, such as never take anything for granted or say what you feel when you feel it, say "I love you" before it is too late.
I read a post somewhere in the web, on who knows what board, and it said, 9/11 made us all one. I say, in deed. There are no races except one. All in human race grief the same way, no matter what they say.
Personally, this time of the year it is way to hard for me. I've been trying to stay positive and active, but the thing is I feel my grandpa's death has left me empty. Tomorrow would have been his 83 birthday and I'll spend it with my grandma, I'll take her to the cemetery. If my grandpa could say something, he'll say "thank you" and "I know how it feels, but do it the right way, understand?". Like they say, memorials are not for the dead, but for the living. Looking back, one year ago he was loosing his battle and we lost with him in the end. He was the strongest person I ever met, he gave everything he had, he shared perfection among us, and I know it is hard to keep him proud but I'm giving it a try. If there isn't a thing out there after death, still they preserve their life existence in us. And I take that.

I Will Remember You
i will remember you
will you remember me
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories
remember the good times that we had
i let them slip away from us when things got bad
how clearly i first saw you smilin' in the sun
wanna feel your warmth upon me i wanna be the one
i will remember you
will you remember me
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories
i'm so tired but i can't sleep
standin' on the edge of something much too deep
it's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
we are screaming inside but we can't be heard
but i will remember you
will you remember me
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories
i'm so afraid to love you but more afraid to loose
clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
once there was a darkness deep and endless night
you gave me everything you had oh you gave me light
and i will remember you
will you remember me
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories
and i will remember you
will you remember me
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories
I haven't said anything about her twin daughters's speeches during the Republican National Convention because, well.. I'm still speechless. All I have to share is that that was plain painful and horrible orchestrate. I mean, they are dealing with global issues, let's face it, it's the US, and to joke about sex and the city and give a come back of a hamster's sad (not funny) story was the worst thing they could have make them do. I think they just wrote and said something funny because someone told them to go out there and do a comedy act, but guess what, they are not comedians, they were 2 girls trying to be funny in front of conservatives. I'd had rather watch some college comedy movie or kill myself or just listen to his father for that matter.
Although, in the other hand, I never thought I was going to see anything serious after Arnold gave his speech the previous evening saying those who don't think the economy is just fine are "economic girly-men."
Another web-page summed it up:
"Once I was a skinny kid in Austria with a Nazi father and I was scared of the communists, but since then I've taken steroids and I'm rich. Also don't worry about troop strength because the soldiers we've already got still have some limbs left. Vote for Bush or you're a big faggy queer sissy nelly gay person."
I mean COME ON, I still can believe it, every time I see him talk, all I'm able to see is that guy who made that movie about getting himself pregnant and then auto inducted himself into labor, witch of course traumatized the shit out of me as a kid. But hey, they HAd to put the terminator into office and now, he is freaking back.

Cup of urine a day keeps ailments at bay Thu Sep 2,11:11 AM ET
BANGKOK (AFP) - Drinking urine can eliminate sinus trouble, turn grey hair black and even cure cancer, a Thai academic said, citing a study of local Buddhists who engage in the unorthodox practice.
Ratree Cheepudomwit, of the Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine Development Department, said hundreds of urine drinkers attested that consuming a daily cup worked wonders for their overall health and helped slow the aging process.
She said that in June she queried 250 members of Santi Asoke, a strict indigenous Buddhist movement believed to have thousands of followers, and 204 respondents said they had learned from ancient Buddhist manuscripts that drinking one's urine improved health.
"Of the respondents, 87 percent confirmed that it had head-to-toe benefits for them, including for example reduction of dandruff, grey hair, sinus problems and cancer," Ratree told AFP.
The medical elixir was not easy on everyone's system, as about one in 10 urine drinkers suffered diarrhea afterwards, but the practice should not be viewed with disgust, she said.
"Other groups of people who drank urine were Buddhist monks who practiced in accordance to scriptures which are more than 2,500 years old," she said.
I..I..I'm uh..disgusted. There it goes away the phrase that says "They would drink even their own piss!", ok, it isn't actually a known phrase, really I just made it up, but STILL, we will not be able to use it not even once. I could have used it in many circumstances, example: If someone is a compulsive lier and wants to keep his story, you could have said, "he would just drink his own piss" to prove it. But now, no. We can't. Cause someone just had to drink it and kill my phrase.
The article says 87 percent confirmed that it had head-to-toe benefits for them..the other 13% committed suicide right after they discovered some cups had been mistakenly wrong labeled. Why Good God, why?
8/13/05 - It's probably not a great idea not to go to your medical appoitment when you get the best job they could have probably offered you, just because you want to mantein that perfect record of never taking a blood test.
