:: Thursday, September 23, 2004 ::
I think this would top the list of things I want for my birthday.:: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 :: Subjective or objective? How often have you been one when you should have been the other? How often have you been too staid and cool in dealing with something that demanded the participation of your own emotions? Yet how often have you been too hot-headed and rash, unable to see the whole picture and thus made a biased decision? People who only choose with their heads have no friends. Others who only choose with their hearts have no followers. :: nimezs @ 7:46 am [+] :: ... :: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 :: George W. Bush Jr's Witticisms (Loads and Loads but I picked just a few) "They misunderestimated me."—Bentonville, Ark., Nov. 6, 2000 (Does that mean they did not underestimate you as they should have?) "I've coined new words, like, misunderstanding and Hispanically."—Radio-Television Correspondents Association dinner, Washington, D.C., March 29, 2001 (What about misunderestimate? You forgot that.) "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."—Greater Nashua, N.H., Chamber of Commerce, Jan. 27, 2000 (Yep. It's hard for me too.) "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."-Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000 (No kidding.) "The great thing about America is everybody should vote."-Austin, Texas, Dec. 8, 2000 (Yes, but do they?) "It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it."-Reuters, May 5, 2000 (So does my phone book.) "I recently met with the finance minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of finances." -Washington, D.C., May 29, 2003 (I bet he knows how to write a budget too!) "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"-Florence, S.C., Jan. 11, 2000 (Apparently not.) "Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 23, 2004 "You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.'' —George W. Bush, Feb. 21, 2001 (Beginning to doubt if you passed it.) "I understand small business growth. I was one."-New York Daily News, Feb. 19, 2000 (Were you cancerous?) "The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case."-Pella, Iowa, as quoted by the San Antonio Express-News, Jan. 30, 2000 (Ah. That explains almost everything.) "Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods."—Austin, Texas, Dec. 20, 2000 (I don't know what to say. Click the link to see what hemispheric means, if you don't know.) "It's your money. You paid for it."—LaCrosse, Wis., Oct. 18, 2000 (Maybe that's why the economy is the way it is. We keep paying for our money.) "Had we to do it over again, we would look at the consequences of catastrophic success, being so successful so fast that an enemy that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to fight another day." — George W. Bush telling Time magazine that he underestimated the Iraqi resistance (Whuh?) "I cut the taxes on everybody. I didn't cut them. The Congress cut them. I asked them to cut them." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 6, 2004 (So, did you or did you not?) "And I am an optimistic person. I guess if you want to try to find something to be pessimistic about, you can find it, no matter how hard you look, you know?" -Washington, D.C., June 15, 2004 (No.) "So thank you for reminding me about the importance of being a good mom and a great volunteer as well." —St. Louis, Mos., Jan. 5, 2004 (Here's another allusion to his actual sex.) "One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." —George W. Bush (Better than all those words that get in the way, eh?) "It is white." —George W. Bush when asked by a child in Britain what the White House was like, July 19, 2001 (So succinct!) "For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it." —George W. Bush, May 14 (What? Should there be more fatal shootings?) "There's an old saying we use down in Texas and it goes like this: Fool me once, shame on me........fool me twice, shame on.........me.........ummm, fool me twice......shame on...........well, the point is you don't fool me twice...."-(Don't know when this came out, Fahrenheit 911, methinks. Good stuff.) "People make suggestions on what to say all the time. I'll give you an example; I don't read what's handed to me. People say 'Here, here's your speech, or here's an idea for a speech.' They're changed. Trust me." -Interview with the New York Times, March 15, 2000 (Finally, the reason for all these Bushisms.) "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004 (And that's why he should not be re-elected.) And my all-time favourite: "It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas." —Beaverton, Ore., Sep. 25, 2000 Sources: http://www.realchange.org/bushjr.htm http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushisms.htm ==> More political quotes (Not just Bushisms!). Crap. I can't believe I actually got distracted by this for about an hour. :: nimezs @ 2:16 am [+] :: ... :: Friday, September 10, 2004 :: Today's Scintillaticity will be Friendship by Proxy - where you know, you're friends with someone else because your friend is friends with them. Many people fall broadly into this category - boyfriends, husbands, best friends, and most often, embarrassing relatives. Do you often find yourself obligated to be friendly to someone's obnoxious boyfriend, husband, best friend, embarrassing relative, dirty old sneaker or banana peel because said obnoxious item belongs to/travels around with/is worn by/is stuck to this person you happen to feel friendly towards? If so, you're probably a victim of Friendship by Proxy. You're not really friends with that banana peel. You just feel you are because that banana peel belongs to your bestest dearest friend. But it's alright. You can overcome. Begin by telling yourself the banana peel is not yours. It's not yours. You don't have to be friends with it. :: nimezs @ 1:52 am [+] :: ... :: Thursday, September 09, 2004 :: And thus it begins. :: nimezs @ 10:56 pm [+] :: ... Abysmal farce.:: Monday, September 06, 2004 :: My father just bought me a thumb drive. I'm having difficulty opening the package. It seems like nothing short of a blow torch will make the stupid plastic yield. I feel like I'm performing a very messy C-section with a pair of blunt scissors. :: nimezs @ 9:26 am [+] :: ... :: Saturday, September 04, 2004 :: Also hungry. :: nimezs @ 2:03 am [+] :: ... blue.
