If any of you know anyone in San Antonio that owns a business or who could somehow find me a job, I would be extremely grateful if you could hook me up with them, put in a good word, etc. Your parents? Their friends? Your friends? To be clear, I have no degree, so I'll take anything you can throw my way. I'll be looking for a while, I'm sure.

My family's Suburban was stolen last night and driven into the Rialto. I do hope this is the death of it.

The Crossdressing Family Man Down the Block

I got a hand-written postcard from Alaska a few days before the election. The front had a picture of a dogsled and the flag of Alaska, along with a list of "Alaska's symbols". (Did you know that Alaska's motto is "North to the Future"?) The back of the card reads:

Hello! As a youth in Alaska I vehemently support Obama! He has a fantastic tax plan that will cut taxes for 95% of Americans and he will help make college more affordable for students like me. I am so excited for the future of our country if Obama is elected. I hope you will vote for him! 

Thank you, 
Maya, 17

I was baffled.

Dramatis Personae:



Act None:




Exit all.

The world is a vampire
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers
Hold you up to the flames
And what do I get
For my pain
Betrayed desires
And a piece of the game
Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though i know
I suppose i'll show
All my cool and cold
Like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
Despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
And i still believe that i cannot be saved.

I just saw a deer walking around lost on campus. There are always rabbits running around or occasionally hawks eating squirrels, but this is the first time I've seen a deer. I felt really sorry for it, wandering around in this inhospitable human environment with people staring at it, and it having no idea where to go.

It walked in front of me for the length of a soccer field. Eventually it stopped at the end of the field trying to figure out where to go now, and a small group of people gathered around it taking pictures with their cell phones or just staring. I stopped for a few seconds, but quickly turned and went my way out of fear that somehow it might end up running and smashing into me, since that wouldn't be surprising at all, or, more likely, that I might have to watch as it ran off and fell down one of the nearby, giant stairways that lead down a hill.

I just voted for Barack Obama. Mmm-mmm-mmm. That felt good.

Does that slogan remind you of anything? Maybe what I posted on September 9th:

"If I were in Obama's shoes right now my campaign slogan would be 'Can you afford to vote Republican?'"

Cool.
