Calling all Friends!

My stupid handheld ran completly out of power (which had nothing to do with it's stupid owner ;) ) and I need people's addresses and phone numbers. Please send to

deeisanerd@yahoo.com

Especially you, TARA! I tried to send you an email, and your freakin email isn't working. I totally lost your number, and I hate to call your parents to ask for it. CHRISTA, are you out there?! I know that LENAI writes to me sometimes, but I need your physical address.

The thing that sucks is that I didn't have a paper/disk back-up of anyone's address, thinking that my amazing Compaq PC could never fail me (which again, has nothing to do with the owner)

Bush's Speech

So, I watched it from about 7:45pm on (I was at the gym) and I really think that he thinks he's doing the right thing for the country. He really believes that what he is saying is actually happening. If what he was saying was actually happening (IE: Community Colleges/pell-grants/more money/more quality jobs/no lay-offs/easier to handle health care) I would be like everyone of those people in the audience, waving my "W" sign and proudly displaying my "flip-flops." I can't say that it's been easier for me to get money for school (I was not given a pell grant, but recieved a scholarship based on my grades); If I lost my job at Star Trek (which very well might happen, that whole buzz is starting again) I would not be able to get another job for more than 9 or 10 bucks an hour (which most people can't really live on $18,720 a year); My stupid birth control is not covered by my insurance. It's the generic brand of Ortho-tri-cyclen. The only reason I switched to the generic brand was because when I was working at The Aladdin (which is now taken over by Planet Hollywood) they would charge you more for the brand-name than they would for the generic. Now that I've switched plans, my new plan covers the brand-name, but not the generic. IS THAT EASIER!? The doctor said that changing birth control, even going from generic to brand-name, can cause some side-effects. HOW IS THAT MAKING MY LIFE EASIER!!! These drug companies/ insurance companies make so much friggin money, and they can't just get together and put two and two together?!!! Don't they realize in this economy, people are changing jobs all the time, and will end up having different health plans, and for those people that are on maintenence drugs, that it's going to screw up their bodies if they have to keep changing the prescriptions because of some corporate deal between the drug and insurance companies?!!! IS THAT RIGHT?!!! MAN!!! NOW I'M PISSED OFF!!! I was so pissed off a couple of days ago that I actually went to www.senate.gov and looked up the voting records for the senate MYSELF. Yes, I actually went to the source and looked up all the important issues (IMHO) to see how John Kerry ACTUALLY VOTED. I didn't rely on "Swift boat veterans for truth" or "The democratic national committee" I went to the website and FOUND OUT FOR MYSELF! YAY FOR ME! WHEEE!!!

Now, turn off your TV please, and if you want to figure out what's really going on here, go to the internet, find official sources, and read. If you can cast your vote for George Bush and still sleep at night after all that you've read, well, it's your dreams you'll have to deal with. I'm being pretty dramatic hey? Or you could just totally ignore me, and just watch the political ads on TV and FOX NEWS, MSNBC, CNN, and be totally confused like I was. Either that, or be totally polarized one way or the other. John Kerry is not perfect, but it comes down to who can do less damage while they're in office for the next four years.
