one of those days

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Well, I must say that today has been one of the finer birthdays that I can recall.
Normally, I dread my birthday as it ends up being a pathetic series of incredibly unfestive events. Today, however, has been quite nice.
It’s a wonderful reminder that things can change drastically, even over the course of just one year.
Now I’m off to hopefully watch Obama start to change things.
Happy Birthday to me!

State of affairs.

I am amazed and saddened by the seemingly endless decline of all things around me.

Sometimes, it is a chore to drag myself out of bed in the morning. This discomfort has recently been accentuated by the radio tuned to NPR, serving as herald to the next big slide.

I am shocked that our society was willing to allow our foundation to rot so fundamentally.

I hope that there can be change in the way that we collectively live our lives, with a focus on rebuilding our collective foundation. I fear that we as a society are far beyond repair.
