soon it will all be righteous

the little black cat's paw is leaning against the bottom of my left foot. israel is being violent and destructive as usual. the new year is coming. the night is chilled. i am looking for apartments in miami. i am looking forward to my birthday - wanting to visit pdx to celebrate. wanting to have impromptu dance parties, karaoke time, bike rides and vegan baking contests.

soon.

that magical time of year..

I woke up again with that same nagging pain in my tummy.... the one where i don't really know where i'm going and i just want to be waking up somewhere else. feeling the weight of repression, wage slavery, and becoming too big for my britches.

the news is all about the same meaningless droll, though i keep it on in the background. i set an armadillo to music today, as he spun himself around in circles inside an enclosure within the national zoo. as if we nationally should pay for animals to be in small cages so far removed from their natural environments. like we are doing such a service expanding the elephant cage by a bit.. even though we kidnapped them from their home. and then the thought that this may have been better than the horrors they would have faced back home - murder by vicious hunters and degradation of their environments. oh, how my heart aches for the world's wonderful creatures, humans included.

learning about luxury appliance innovators and loss leaders, two for one shoes and earrings. the cacophony of the ludicrous. i will not miss bush when he leaves office, but realize that obama is a similar coin. i hope he protects the endangered species.. now that bush has taken away more and more rights. i have been craving carrot cake. now i am falling asleep.

it rained and was cool today, though not as chilly as dc was. i walked a lot there... listened to whales sing, had brownie a la mode at the science club, walked on the national mall, and sat in a rad little bookstore by dupont circle. it feels like a second home almost. though too cold.

i am going to sleep. rants like this will be folllowed by more sensible ramblings.

watching a show on nigeria and the oil company shell wreaking havoc on the environment, the corruption of the government, stolen money and destroyed environment. oil in the water... and the people, oh so poor. suffering from monkey pox from bushmeat. barefoot on dirt floors. breathing in and out the dirty dirty dirty air.

om. om om om om...
