The entry level blogger

If you go anywhere go here Where is Raed ? Its thought provoking, witty, sarcastic, brilliant, touching and deeply unforgettable. I have to say thank you to Raed for creating probably one of the best blogs I have ever seen.

Crim, I really dig the idea of Hanging Crim for this blog. I should've asked permission first, but I really think it relates well to current events... My own analyzation of the term.

Onwards and upwards. Here we are again. While the monitor glares at me the fans taunt in unison. 'What could she possibly gain by wasting yet another hour with us?' A BLOG of course!!

Well the heat is off again, no hot water, apparently something with the boiler, but isn't that always the excuse? Brown water filled my bathtub this morning and as the water slowly began to drain the usual sludge coated the porcelain. Ah Lovely day, eh? The reason to continue living is fast asleep in his crib, the other reason is wasting his unparalleled talent and beauty at the Met. Sitting in a dark auditorium listening to singers who simply can't hold a candle, knowing that it'll NEVER happen there. Too much political shit and the widespread fear that the fourth will rise up and become the one. You'd think that talent would speak for itself... HA!!! Not at the establishment/factory that is the Met. That type of utter disregard is enough to get even the most optimistic down. But onwards we must forge. NYC is on the verge of a mental collapse. Today a strange cardboard box was found on 74th and Amsterdam. Apparently this scary box brought the Upper West Side to its knees. Well, when it happens on the Bklyn Bridge or Midtown or even Lower Manhattan its far enough away to barely evoke a raising of my eyebrows but for this 107th and CPW resident, its a little too close to home this time. There is an underlying theme here though and it needs to be consulted. Could it be that we have conditioned ourselves in believing we no longer live in the safest country in the world? Paranoia is contagious and its feeds our needs. These war protestors are a perfect example of that. Do you really think its for activism? No, its paranoia and a way of dealing with anxiety. A person alone is an individual, in a mass that person ultimately becomes the mass. Fear spreads like wildfire and fear spurns hate. Onwards and upwards it pushes until it engulfes an entire community, then a state then a nation. Well to this blogger's eyes, its all bullshit. To the protestors...SHUT UP and look at the facts! This elite Republican Guard uses human shields! Elite my ass, elitism does not mean cowardess! And that's what they are, COWARDS!! Killing their own people for the sake of power and control... If Saddam wasn't a paranoid fuck none of this would've happened. Also we are fighting for homeland security. I don't care what anyone says, NONE of us want to see another WWII Hitler type regime win out. Saddam must be taken out! Unfortunately war is the direct resolution to this problem. But I as an American can say with head held high that I am proud to live in a nation that does not fear public scrutiny and fights for the greater good. We as Americans must stand together on this one. Its for our children's future that the way is being paved. Know that after we die maybe this unfortunate war will have created a much better environment in which to live. Yes I know it's hard to look past yourself in terms of life and death.. but consider the options and I'm sure you will come to the same conclusion.
