things get worse before they become bad.

this has been an interesting week. i was supposed to go to L.A. last saturday, just as i am supposed to be there about three hours ago...i never made any promises anyway...it's a three-day weekend, so who knows, i might change my mind...some shit hit the fan at sabbat, a "misunderstanding," even though it seemed clear as day to me...and in the end it's apparently all my fault...at first, i had lost hope that this is the way my kindness is repaid, i had thought that this is the way it's supposed to be...because this wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened...i was very fortunate to have been proven wrong...it isn't often that friends come to my rescue without me asking for help, but i was glad that they did...i have pride, and it takes me a very long time for me to throw in the towel and admit defeat...drinks went all around, and drinks were bought for me too...i walked away knowing the value of my friendship...thank you all, you know who you are...monday was alright, until i went to school...then all hell broke loose...we are at the midpoint and plenty of us are still confused...again, no "A" for this class...i have to settle for a "B"...sucks...tuesday was awesome...still in a bit of a gloomy mood, i was on my way to Hooters to join my Marine buddies for a bit of trivia and win some more prizes, when mistresabsynthe abducted me for an impromptu night out...we terrorized the gaslamp, la jolla, then dave and busters...things are sooooo much better when they aren't planned...first we wandered the huge mall and checked out hot topic, where i introduced her to a cool caffeinated drink called Vamp...of course, it's for "when the sun goes down"...then i said hello to my friends at downtown hooters, hit up a sushi place in the area, then got lost and couldn't find my ride...to the inexperienced person, it's easy to get lost in the gaslamp...we were headed in the opposite direction until someone showed us the error of our ways...so later we tried to hit up tower records in la jolla, only to find out the hours have changed...they close at midnight only on fridays and satudays...sucks, it used to be my hangout place when i had nothing to do at Miramar...and it's been a while since i saw the Mormon temple...i still find it very intriguing...dave and busters was hella fun too...a couple of margaritas for each of us and off we were, drinking and driving...legally of course...and i'm still a better shot at the gun games, stayed there 'til they kicked us out...then came over to my place so that she could steal my Dita Von Teese, Loaded magazine and borrow a huge stack of my DVD's...hmm, i still have too many movies, lol...i hardly rent anymore, i just buy...wednesday, work, school, repeat....thursday, work, study, was hoping to see the Shaolin warriors perform but didn't want to go stag...ditched, went to 80's for a bit.Friday, work, school, Therapy, rinse, repeat...had some interesting chat about the Governator, yes, i voted for him...funny how some people just want a reason to bitch, cry, and moan...no, i'm not always right, but i had a very good debate teacher who taught me how to justify just about anything...which is the EXACT reason some lawyers are able to get murderers, rapists, and thieves off the hook...with that in mind...i expressed my opinion that people rally behind one actor who took a stand againsts the president, Martin Sheen, and maybe some people forgot that he only plays the president on TV, and now another actor takes a stand against a governor and gets a lot of support, similar to Martin, yet, once he gets elected, people start going "oh shit, it worked!" and they cry that he's just an actor...big fuckin' deal, give the guy a chance, then cry...if he sucks, then recall his ass too...and who knows, after watching Demolition Man, he might be President, haha...this morning...tired, sore, and hungry...need steak and eggs...oh yeah, forgot to mention...the Bud Light chick...she's a hottie...i think i like her more than the Hooter's gal, hehe...

Greed

The point is, ladies and gentlemen, is that greed, for lack of a better word...is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed -- you mark my words -- will not only save Teldar paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the U.S.A.
