Hi everybody. Everyone doin' alright? Nothing interesting has happened here since my last entry so I'll make this short....

Later!

You know... no offence to anybody to but to be completely honest I HATE making entries on Xanga. I know this seems fantastic considering what a prolific logger I have been but alas it's true. I'm not sure why, it's just something that IS.  Oh well. I need a new coffee person for Fridays.... my standing 1:00 o'clock coffee date has fled to Ottawa (with out returning my book!!!!!!ARGG) and now my weekend is too un-structured! It's chaos! How can I enjoy a weekend without a good chat to kick it off?.... anybody interested hanging out on Friday afternoons? Call me, 670-1386... leave a message.

Can you hold alcohol responsible for things that you've done when you know deep down that you didn't even try to resist? Also, some people are hosers. You know who you are, love it!

Man, that Tesla was some dude! I wonder why Edison was such a bitch about it. I guess it's hard to accept someone who is better than you at what you consider your speciality. When it's someone who is by all accounts at least a little "weird" it makes it all the harder to be gracious I suppose. I think that's why I hate Darren so very very much. It's good to read history, because it helps to make sense of the present and future. That reminds me - I just read a book excerpt which was run in the National Post in which a former speach writer for Bush (David Frum) regales how Sept. 11 "revealed what Americans had been concealing from themselves for far too long: The end of the Cold War and the emergence of the United States as the world's superpower had not put an end to the rivalries and animosities of nations". What?!? Were there actually people who thought that being a self-proclaimed "superpower" would bring about world harmony???  He continues to say that "the jealousy and resentment that animate the terrorists also affect many of our former cold war allies... Unsurprisingly they are not overjoyed by our good fortune".  But wait, wait, my favorite line is still coming up - "For half a century, Americans risked nuclear annihilation to defend Europe against Soviet aggression... Americans turned about to discover what the allies for whom they had been prepared to die were, in their turn, prepared to do for Americans. The disconcerting answer was: not much". In a larger excerpt from another book of Frum's he makes it clear that he believes France is conspiring with some other European nations (like Germany) to try and create a European Union which could "counterbalance" the United States - and he sees this as unacceptable behaviour from allies. I dont know... I thought it was interesting. I hope this isn't a reflection of feelings throughout the Bush admin.
