[14:09:35] Nic: Lucas, this man is hilarious beyond means
[14:10:06] Nic: the things he says about the stupidity of people in general
[14:10:18] Lucas: who?
[14:10:58] Nic: like, on the night of the iraq war 70% of the american people believed that saddam hussein had a direct involvement in 9/11
[14:11:14] Nic: today, 6 years later... 34% still do
[14:11:29] Nic: Bill Maher
[14:12:30] Lucas: oh yeah i've heard of him
[14:13:22 | Edited 14:13:27] Nic: in south carolina, ina townhall meeting, a man stood up and told the congressman to keep his government hands OFF his medicare
[14:14:07] Nic: medicare is the government programme for poor people without a private health insurance

[14:21:47 | Edited 14:22:05] Nic: a third of the democrats believe that george bush had prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks. which is an absurd sentence becasue it contains the words BUSH and KNOWLEDGE
[14:22:58] Nic: oh wow, this one just sends me over the edge
[14:25:09] Nic: the religious america: more than half of the americans don't know that Judaism is an older religion than christianity. That's right half of america looks at books called the OLD testaments and te NEW testaments and cannot figure out which one came first

Is it you inside my head?

is it wise enough to say that i'm better off without you
is it cool enough to fake cause all that i've been breathing is about you
is it wise enough to flow from my head until my toes
but somehow i don t really know all that i've been doing is without you

is it you inside my head
is it you inside who says that I become someone else

and on and on my head keeps saying this is not what i believe in
this is where it ends
and on and on my mind is made up that that is why it never stops
alone again, alone again

is it you inside my head
is it you inside who says that I become someone else

i didn't know that you re buzzing right through isnide my head
i didn't know that you re coming right through inside my head
i didn't know that you re buzzing right through no i ...
i didn't know that you re coming right through no I ...
i didn't know, i didn't know, i didn't know ...

i didn't know

is it you inside my head
is it you inside who says
is it you inside my head

So Be It

Today I found paradise on earth.

For Jake

A 'Brilliant' Night

For the first time in a really long time I went somewhere by myself and had a good time. I went to the library and the theatre to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I was feeling depressed a few nights ago, but was cured by the amazing Jake. Thanks to him, I was inspired to go out, live my life and have fun, even though I was alone; and I did. Before I left my sister had asked me to buy something for her. Normally I would've felt obligated to do it seeing as she is my sister, but this time was all about me.
At the library, I sat with a guy who was doing a project (hoping that he was available) while I read some books on psychology. They were interesting, but I merely scratched the surface of it's past and it's theories. Ever 15 seconds or so the guy would sniffle and put his head in his hands, as if stressed. After a while I asked him if he was ok. He said "yea, man" (not "mon"). I was hoping for a "not really" to comfort him, but I guess he was just sick. The rest of the time passed and we said nothing. He left and I saw him flirting with a girl. "He's straight", I said to myself. I was used to that so I just kept on reading.
Off to the movie. I walked 40 minutes to get to the theatre when I could have taken a taxi. I figured that I would save the money and get some exercise; even jogged for about a minute. I arrive and get my ticket, then head over to the pharmacy nearby. I didn't fear talking to strangers anymore. I was up-front and confident, no stumbling on my words as I had before. The strange feeling of betrayal and mistrust was no longer dominant in me. At the pharmacy I buy an ice-cream cone (first one in months) and walk around the pharmacy waiting for the movie to start.
To the movie. I buy popcorn and a drink and head off. I was surprised to see that there were only 4 other people there, because it is usually packed. I took advantage of the opportunity and sat anywhere I wanted. Only 16 people were present during the movie and it was so much fun. I kept changing seats and wandering about. I loved it! I even said "fuck" out loud without worrying about who hears. The movie ends and I go outside to see the moon shining at me (about 80% full). It was a 'brilliant' night (to honour the movie's British words) and I'm glad I went out and enjoyed it.
