Today is my father's 70th birthday. How did I get old enough to have a dad that's turned 70? LOL Just kidding, Dad. Anyway, we're going to have a little BBQ to celebrate later today and watch The Incredibles (since Dad hasn't seen it and I think he'll really like it).

I found out today that the manager at the pizza place where I work killed himself yesterday. I'm numb.

Once again President Bush is giving me one more reason to be totally pissed at how he's running his presidency. Yesterday he asked congress for $7.1 Billion to prepare for the minute chance of an Avian Flu Pandemic. A disease that has killed only 120 people in the whole freakin' world so far. They're all foaming at the mouth for a world-wide diaster. Well, we saw how well the government handled a real disaster when hurrican Katrina hit. They want to stockpile enough vaccine for every American. Last I heard, health people were scrambling to create a vaccine. Does anybody remember last year's flu vaccine shortage? We were all going to get the flu since we hadn't been vaccinated and we were all going to die! Well, I didn't get the flu, nor did I or anyone I know die.

How about being worried about a real health scare? Illegal Mexicans are bringing all sorts of disease into the country with them:If you're really so worried about the health of Americans, stop the flow of illegals into this country.

Yeah, human beings are supposed to be civilized. We have indoor toilets so we don't have to squat on the ground like animals. Why is it that supposedly evolved people CANNOT FLUSH A PUBLIC TOILET?!!!! Do some people just enjoy fouling a public area by leaving their excrement behind? Do they not have the mental ability to push the handle to whisk away the odorous feces? My dad took me to lunch today and I had too much iced tea. I figured I'd better make a quick stop in the ladies room before we left as I would probably not make it back to his apartment. The smell I encountered upon entering was so foul that it triggered my gag reflex, making me lose a good portion of the iced tea and part of the wonderful lunch down the front of my shirt. I found the offending stall and quickly flushed and then had to clean up myself and the bathroom.

I hope all you morons who bought into the hype/fear-mongering/greed and voted for Referendum C yesterday are pleased with yourselves when all that crap the politicians promised you never comes to pass. When are you people going to wake up and realize the government is at the root of most of our problems, not the salvation? I'm thoroughly disgusted with the lot of you.
