basildestinyI just want to get up on a rooftop and shout at the top of my lungs. I'm so outraged with recent events and so jaded, disgusted, and yet apathetic with my own life.
First of all, I thought it was time to rejoice when Mr Homeland Security resigned. I know that I sure feel safer and I'm glad to know that he feels his job is done. But ... if that's true... WHY THE FUCK WAS BUSH RE-ELECTED????????????????????????????
Second of all, I'm so fucking sick of this whole moral responsibility of pharmacists. Did Kerry really tell Bush that he needed to unite and heal this nation? It feels more like I need to move to a blue state so that I don't have to worry about whether or not I can get my fucking medication!!
I watched Schindler's List again today and I have to wonder how far the United States really is from being the Nazis of the Middle East. Who the fuck are we to go over there and imprison whomever we want? Who are we to make these people stand whatever kind of trial we want? Who are we to say that the Geneva convention doesn't apply to foreign fighters caught in Iraq? Are we going to start tatooing those Iraqis down in Abu Ghraib? Do we already make them wear some kind of mark? Aren't we already randomly shooting civilians? I think I cried the most during the movie because I realized that we really aren't that far from being those monsters.
I'm so poor that I can't buy anything. I'm on a PB&J sandwich diet until Monday when I get paid. My mom has no money. And it just makes me want to scream! We both work very hard and yet the fruits of our labor is just getting further and further behind in our debts and having no social lives or any outlet of fun. I can't even buy shampoo which I hope will last until Monday. I'm sure a friend would lend me some money, but the fact is that I shouldn't be so damn broke.
Oh and I can't get any credit cards. My $1500 card is at about $1496 so no one will give me another card. Fuck you, you bastards! The economy is in the trash so hardcore.
My new supervisor is Sydney's old supervisor. How funny. Or not. His first question to me was if I was still dating Sydney. We both agreed that Sydney is immature. A few days later, I find out this guy is conservative. Possibly a neoconservative with aspirations of becoming a pharmacists in the near future and he thinks it's great that pharmacists can deny prescriptions. I don't think it's great at all!!! And I don't think it's great that my supervisor thinks that's a good idea either. I miss my old supervisor and I knew I would miss her the moment it was announced he was our supervisor. We were made to sit with the rest of customer service last Saturday and so the team was split up. I love my team, but I can't stand some of the nosy customer service people. I just can't stand the attitude that they are better than me without even knowing me. If I ask stupid questions, feel free to treat me that way, but I haven't.
Remember the story about meeting the Bush loving freak at the bar? I was sitting there with a friend and he talked to one of Bush boy's friends to get the guy's opinion to use against me. Because as it turns out, it's more important to see The Big Labowski than it is to see Schindler's List. I guess I'm some big softie liberal who takes herself too seriously and thinks Schindler's List is a good movie and it doesn't count that I have the Big Labowski on my list of movies to see on Netflix. No. That doesn't matter. Forget social change, it's a hopeless cause, don't you know?
All in all, I'm tired of trusting people. I'm tired of opening myself to people. And I'm tired of losing my rights to the fucking neoconservatives. I hope no one comments on my journal about "Don't give up. Life rocks on!" I know it does. But I also get sick and tired and fed up with it all sometimes too.
What are we going to do about this whole medication fiasco? What's the plan, Stan?

...Or you can just be sick and fed up. All opinons aside, everyone is sick and tired of it all; conservative or liberal. I hear ya...

Date: 2004-11-10 09:53 pm (UTC)That reminded me of my day today. This one friend of mine kept saying "Cheer up" or "smile" and the next time I saw her I said "If you tell me to smile I'll smack you. I'm just warning you."
HAHAHA

Date: 2004-11-10 09:54 pm (UTC)Nutshell Democracy in America. I will definitely read that. Putting it on my list right now, but I have 2 books checked out which I will have to check out again tomorrow since I haven't finished them. Just finished a book a friend bought for me and so that one will go to the back of the line. I don't think I feel bad about democracy. I just feel powerless because I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to voice my opinion. Do I write my congress person? Do I protest somewhere? I feel cut off from my party and from people who hold the same beliefs that I hold. Everyone is so fucking PC anymore that they either don't voice their opinions or else they are a damn neoconservative.
But I know you aren't a neoconservative so I know this whole birth control thing must piss you off too.

Date: 2004-11-11 04:55 pm (UTC)We're going to be watching Schindler's List in my German class this year. I haven't seen it yet, and I'm somewhat afraid of seeing it (for the gore & violence), but I've heard it's excellent.
