Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

I’m beyond happy because I’ve gotten *two* nights of good sleep in a row. I think it’s been helping to a) have some wind down time before I go to bed to rest my head (reading or listening to music) and b) get ready for bed (teeth brushed, face washed, etc) beforehand so when I am tired, I can just crawl under the covers.

I had a pretty good night last night, in that I got to play more Fallout 2, clean up my room some and also start reading a fantastic book that I recommend to everyone to check out. It’s called “The Future of History” and is a series of interviews with Howard Zinn, my main fucking hero. I’m not sure of the interviewer’s name, but I did a search for Zinn at the library and it came up. Simply fantastic.

I went to bed early and had a good sleep. Was really warm under the covers so I had to crank up the fan to cool off. But I only chalk my ability to get up due to I would have wet the bed if I didn’t. A little glass of water before slumber sure makes its presence known.

Nothing too happening at work today, I put up some posters for our United Way campaign this morning at a few different locations, which was adventurous and gave me the opportunity to stretch my legs.

Also, mad props to Noah for filling out my survey. Thank you so much for rocking my Inbox. Now, *GET OUT*!!!

Random thoughts of the day:
If we rebuild the WTC towers, aren’t we just claiming that we are invincible and stupid?

I’m glad to see that the innocent people who died in the bombings magically erased history and brought back to life all the people that died on 9/11. God bless Dubya.

I’m thinking about discovering an island far away and starting a utopian society. Anybody else want to come?

Guns don't kill people, governments kill people.

Yawn. What a slow afternoon. I wish I could say only two and a half hours to go, but that seems like a long damn time. I’ve come across some fantastic links that I wish I could post here, but there are just too many. I’ll have to update my links section of my website (plug plug), and you’ll just have to wait and see.

There, all finished. Tons of new links to investigate and tickle your ‘huh?’ reflex. In no particular order. Lost of good stuff being written in response to 9/11 and just in general too.

I have a feeling that a lot of problems could be solved if only minorities were allowed to have weapons. I know that if I was a woman or of a different race, I’d feel a lot better with a weapon in my hand. So much shit happens ‘because it can’ to most non-white males, it’s ridiculous. And how about if we rolled back the rules of war a few hundred (or thousand?) years and only allow hand-to-hand combat. Imagine how few people would want war and destruction if it had to be done by hand. Technology is for the birds. Who would want to rob a bank if they didn’t have weapons to help them? Who would want to be a gang member if guns weren’t a factor? Why would we need cops if there were no weapons?

Well, where did that come from?

I’m tired of the United States. And no luck finding an island to setup shop in. Curse this luck!
