America Gets What It Deserves
By Paris, November 3, 2004
Bush's recent (and first-time) win of the presidency should come as a surprise to no one. It has validated the belief of many that America has gotten what it deserves, even after enduring some of the most horribly abusive foreign and domestic policies in American history.
The fact that it was even a close call at all is a damning condemnation of those supposedly opposed to the Bush Bullshit. After four years of lies, murder, back-room deals, dead soldiers, poor education, a faulty economy, reduced civil liberties, increasing crime rates and racial intolerance he still managed to capture the popular and electoral count. This is sad, if for no other reason than the fact that so many people are blind to the truth and simply believe and hear what they want to believe and hear, even in the face of mounting impeachment-worthy lies and offenses. We couldn't even muster support for the lesser of two evils, which would be laughable if it weren't so sad. What an embarrassing time to be an American.
This election was won on fear--fear of a phantom terror menace and of anything that could potentially hamper our "way of life" in America--whatever that is. Now, without constraints and unchecked, Bush can continue to wage war globally, using U.S. military might to bring the "gift of freedom" of his God to the world. War on who? Why, war on all who aren't like him and his ilk, that's who. War on women, war on people of color, war on those who don't practice his twisted sense of "Christianity," war on those who don't share his sexual preference, war on children, and war on the less fortunate, the elderly and the infirm.
Now the left, and democrats in particular, will have to take a long, hard look at themselves. What went wrong? This was not a stolen election. It was not a hijacking, mugging or a mistake. The left dropped the ball, not so much for lack of trying (especially with the youth vote), but for backing John Kerry--a weaker version of Bush--in the first place. Maybe now the party that is supposed to represent the values of the mainstream left will actually adopt those values and not ignore its own constituency in an attempt to appeal to a more conservative base. Indeed, many at odds with Bush's illegal wars were left feeling disillusioned by the fact that Kerry, his main opposition, had very similar stances with regards to his overseas agenda.
An election this close must make us take pause. Maybe, after all, we aren't nearly as far along as a country as we would like to believe. And while it's true that for tens of millions of Americans, Bush will never be our president, all we can really do now is apologize to the rest of the world for validating this simpleton and his racist imperialist policies--and brace ourselves for the worst still yet to come. Apparently, we must hit some sort of new low between now and 2008.
Most disturbing of all is that George Bush will have the chance to tilt the supreme court firmly to the right and leave a lasting imprint on the US's social and political fabric. Three of the nine supreme court justices could well step down in the next few years. Chief justice William Rehnquist, John Paul Stevens, and Sandra Day O'Connor will all probably step down, as two are over eighty years of age and O'Connor, 74, has openly expressed interest in wrapping up her service. Keep in mind that these are lifelong appointments, and that Bush wouldn't have been selected for president in the first place had the supreme court voted in 2000 to allow the recount to continue in that presidential election(Gore would've won).
In the coming years, the supreme court is expected to consider some of the most divisive social issues in the US: private property rights and government land seizure, gay marriage and partial-birth abortion. A conservative court can all but guarantee that the outcome will be less-than-favorable for those of us who value fairness, justice and liberty.
Yes, America has gotten what it deserves.

 Everyone like my booboo ? LOL. I burnt my ear. ':x* I was using the flat iron on my hair and I went to clamp a piece and I ended up clamping it right on my ear. Burnt it good but luckily it only hurt for like a minute. Went and put some ointment on it, then went out, and when I got home, it looked like that. I guess it bleed while I was out. I didn't even know. So, I decided to take a picture before I went and cleaned it up. It's pretty much healed now. Just a little skin still peeling off. Hot, I know. Ahaha. Oh, thank you all for the compliments on my new haircut.
I put up a new layout today. I was to lazy to change the calendar on the other one, so I took it down. Damn calendar is to much work. ':|* I also went and voted today (for kerry of course). Went down all early. Got there at around 6:40. Had to wait outside for 20mins. It was all hot and muggy. It was worth it though.
Card + Heels Nam got me. Why are these not good quality? Because I took them with my webcam. I'm way to lazy to break out with the digi cam, snap pictures of a card and a shoe, then plug it into my computer, and upload them.

 Look at that purse. Lol. It's cute.! I wish they had a superman one. I'd carry it around. Ahaha. Anyways, tomorrow I get to go get something for my bebs. For everyone who knows what it is (and you know who you are cause I said I'd be going Friday) SHHHH don't comment and say what it is. I just hope that he likes it. I'll post pictures of it sometime this weekend. Well, I'm not promising that I will, but I might. I went and applied at JCpenny's & Dillards today. The lady at JCpenny's talked to me for a while and said she'd call back next week but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm going to take a break from job hunting for a while.
Nam: You can imagine my reaction when I go behind a building to piss, and see this mutha' fucker standing over me. Yeah, some girlish screaming took place. Along with some curb tumbling while desperately attempting to button up your pants. But it wasn't just him, there was a whole nest of them! Some kind of family reunion I presume. I couldn't even go back to take the picture, I had someone else do it. haha ... If I had a penis and was pissing on a building and saw this behind me, I would have took off with my cock out. LOL. I wouldn't have even cared if people saw it. Once I got far away, then I would have zipped up. Ahaha Anyways, here's the picture of the spider. ';o*
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BEBS

 Cute shirt. Can't remember what site I got it off of though. ':|* I went to the hair salon to fill out an application for the receptionist but the owner of the shop wasn't it. I guess she wants to talk to everyone that fills one out, so I didn't get to do that. I'm going to go tomorrow. They told me to come between 9 and 5 Tuesday-Saturday. Going as soon as possible so I can be one of the first few people or before they give it away.
I changed my layout AGAIN. When you're up at 2AM because you can't fall asleep, you really don't have anything else to do. For some reason, I haven't been sleeping well. I think it might be my bed. I need a new one. Going to try and find something else to do to kill time at that time because I really like this one. Has a working calendar and everything. I redid my info too. Nobodys ever on that early and there's nothing on TV. Well Ducktales comes on. LOL. I love that cartoon. ';o*
I think I found the haircut I want. I saw it on this brilliantly brunette commercial but I couldn't find any cuts like it online and it's not like I could take a picture off it off the TV that quickly, so yea. I searched and couldn't find it but finally I found a girl that has the cut. So, YEY OR NEH? ( cut )

 DREAMS I have a lot of weird dreams and sometimes I wish I could understand what they mean. Sometimes I'll have dreams where Nam and I are laying down and he slowly fades away or we're sitting down talking and he'll fade away. I once had a dream that he proposed and we fell asleep but when I woke up (in my dream), he wasn't there and he never came back. Maybe it's my subconscious telling me that I think he's going to leave me even though I don't think I think that. I hate the nights I have those dreams. There's also ones where I'm getting attacked and I go to scream, but no sound comes out. I keep trying and trying but I can't seem to scream. It's like I'm so scared, I lose my ability to make a sound. Luckly I don't get these dreams a lot but I get them enough that I remember them and I hardly ever remember dreams (atleast for no longer then 5mins after I wake up). I'm sure everybody has weird dreams but I just wanted to write about mine. They really bother me. I don't know why they do, but yea.
Going to the outback tonight for my moms late birthday dinner. Last time I went there, I was with Nam and we pigged out on cheese fries so much, that we weren't hungry when our actual food came. Lol. Got to remember to get a half order instead of a full order.

 I changed my layout. Not a big change but the other one kept reminding me of my myspace when I had it. Heh. ':D*I want to get that illustration tattooed on my back but I don't really think I have the balls to do it. My first one didn't really hurt that much at all but that one is pretty big. I think it would look really nice though. Who knows. I have plenty of time to think about it. I'll probably end up getting something else a little smaller but I might not. ';o*
I think I'm going to go to HOUSE OF CHAN tonight and get me some Chinese. I've been wanting it for like a month, but I've been to lazy to drive down that way. Ahaha. I hellsa want some Orange Chicken. So, yea. I probably wont go. It's to far for take out. I'll end up getting a pizza or something
I whisper sweet-everythings into the bell of your ear
for my dialect to translate clear
so that there can not be misunderstanding
you’re standing in the center of my chest
you are clearly different from the rest of the population
you plug thoughts of devotion into my eye sockets
got me openly open
shooting star power in my veins like rocket fuel
you rule eighty-nine percent of my inspiration
yes i do believe in love on third sight
help me count how many times i’ve dreamed you
one, two, three
help me count the ways i love you
one,
completely

 So, they already hired someone. It was in the paper a lot longer then I thought it was. I found out a Front Counter lady wasn't like a secretary either. It's for a laundry place. They wanted me to be the "laundry girl " as Nam would call it and from his stories, wow I don't think I'd be a very good one. Lol. Oh well though. I stole Trish's idea and went to Bath & Body Works and got an application. They're begining to hire with all these holidays coming up. The manager will be back next week and will start calling people. *crosses fingers
I decided I'm going to buy Nam's parents a Christmas card. I kind of want to get something else to go with it, but I don't know what. I never know what to get. Maybe I'll get them some nice candies or something? I have no idea. Got to think ahead and stuff. Nam will just have to take seeing me as his present because I'm probably going to be broke as fuck. The only thing I'm going to try and do is get a room at this really nice resort for new years. Cook for him and stuff. That can be his present too if I can do it. I'll take being able to see him as his present for me too. ';D* Best present ever anyways.
For Rachel "It was half past dusk, you were rocking black musk when your chariot stop low I made the clock wind slow grabbed my hips, curled a kiss across my lips like a whisper (damn) blue train title track playing on the system listen la da di da da it’s john c you hum the melody in pitch and on key you was my quiet storm water sign pushed me to the borderline love that rumbled all the time kept my senses on the grind, sweeter than some foreign wine the original raw branded sweet like a cinnamon straw you was my hardest distraction my bombest distraction, my deepest inspiration my heat, my frustration but you diff from before you wasn’t rifting before I want that old thing back baby gimme some more when clouds huddle in the sky and tears well in your eye just.. hold on to the moment love"
Ting I finished your layout.! It has hearts, pinks, and a smile on it. Lol.

 I'm going to go try and apply for this front counter job today if the place is open. It's working on the AF base. They say they pay 300-400 a week starting out. Sounds pretty good to me. I probably wont get hired, but it wont hurt to try. Hopefully they haven't hired anyone yet and I atleast get a chance.
Nam ordered me that shirt last night. It was so hard to pick one. I made him do it. It's a good thing he picked that one too because it ended up going out of stock not to long after we got it. I'm just hoping it ends up looking good on me. I'm not so sure. If not, I'll just have to return it. He'll be coming to visit me in December before he goes to his station in KY. I can't wait. December needs to hurry up and get here. I might not get to see him on Christmas but atleast his face will be the first thing I see the first day of 05. ';D* and atleast KY is a lot closer then Korea and I'll get to see him more then twice a year.
pictures i took last week. what a loser lol

So, I got all my haircut off Friday and I did it all for my bebs. That was my big suprise for him because I know how much he likes short hair (even though he thought the same of me with long hair). I like it. When it was wet, I hated it. When she was drying it, I hated it. When she started to flat iron it, I loved it. I was like thank you for ending up looking good. Ahaha. I got to go back Wednesday and get darker highlights. The ones I got blend in with my hair color to much, so she wants to do them over and it's FREE.!! Anyways, that's all I wanted to say. Oh yea first picture, I told Nam he looked like a Japanese Tourist throwing up his peace signs and he was all "NO! They do it with their palms out" So, I figured I'd mock him but do it the tourist way. LOL. Bye.
