today's rant: sick, republican, originally 10/28/06

i think i'm slowly going crazy.  it's been at least a week since my last one of these things.  for some reason i haven't been able to find the time to do this shit.  i guess i'll start off with what's going on lately.

there's a 50/50 chance i have strep throat, so for the love of god, stay the fuck away from me.  it sucks royally.  aside from the pain of swallowing, i can't sleep.  headaches are on and off and my body can't decide what temperature to be.  i'll be in bed and i'll start sweating my ass off, so i wake up and turn on the fan.  then i'm freezing, so i move the fan away.  then i'm sweating my ass off again.  thursday night, i slept for about 3 hours.  my solution is simple...nyquil.  that's the first thing i'm getting when i get out the door today.  not only will i stop the dry, hacking cough, but i'll finally be able to get some fucking sleep.

on a side note, i've come to a realization.  if you have a cough/sore throat, and you have to choose between halls or a big pack of generic cough drops for a buck fifty, go with the halls.  they can't be beat.  if you don't have either, go to carvel.  a sore throat is the perfect excuse to buy soft serve ice cream.

new topic:  election day in a week and a half.  i'll admit this...i'm a registered republican.  please, let me explain.  it was 2002 and we were about to go to war.  i thought it was a good idea at the time.  i still can't get the image of smoke out of my head when i looked westward on that fateful tuesday.  but everything that has happened afterward has been one disappointment after another.  the reason behind the fuck-ups is simple:  historically, republicans have never been able to keep their religion and faith out of politics.

GWB has been in a 3-way with politics and religion for the past 5 years.  on the issues of gay marriage and stem cell research, he has let his faith dictate US policy.  the ironic thing is that he isn't that far off from religious nutheads, including the people he's gone to war with.  think about it:  he lets his understanding of faith dictate his actions...they let their understanding of faith dictate their actions.  guess it takes one to know one.

had the privilege of singing with the high c's and opening up for slapdash graduate last night in smithtown.  hard to believe only 5 guys can sound like that.  kudos.  gazzo, you beast.
