States of Mind
Artists with States in Their Names
I find myself in a rather good mood today. I have no reason for being this way. It is nice though.
I talked a bit more with MB yesterday and last night. I don't agree with her descion, but I understand that she believes what she says. I have to respect her for at least trying to explain it to me. It is much more considerate than when that evil hussy Mandy broke up with me in late summer. I think MB and I will remain friends, even if we don't get back together. That is a good feeling, cause she has also become a good friend.
Drew and I were discussing 24 last night before the new episode. It was brought up that all of the terrorists in this season's series are muslim arabs. He seemed to think they were just portraying reality. I heard his roomate, John, chime in the background, "Not all Arabs are terrorists, but all terrorists do happen to be muslim!". First of all I never realized that those guys who bombed the Oklahoma federal building were muslim(they weren't/aren't). And what about those guys who mailed out the anthrax? Second, it took all I could do not to point out that I don't think muslim and arab are not neccesarily interchangable. Am I wrong? I kept my mouth shut though. They do live in Cincinatti. It is not the cultural capitol of the world.
Man, oh man. I just keep telling myself that in four years we get...Obama...Clinton...Jackson? Yikes, we could be in real trouble here.
