You Are a Religious Republican |
You make up the conservative, Christian, dedicated core of the Republican Party.
You believe it's important for religious people to stand up for their beliefs in politics.
And for you, this means voting your conscience - which almost always means voting Republican.
Your pet causes include the sanctity of life, school vouchers, and prayer in school.

Does anyone know what Heidegger means in Being in Time when he talks about the "they"? I know he tries to explain to us that the authentic "self" is not what it obviously seems to be, but that we should call it a "they-self"...
Adam? Josh?

| I Got This Email From My Dad Today |
[Sep. 22nd, 2004|11:39 pm] |
Hello,
Your nana just called me (it's 3 pm here) and the doctors called and told mom that dad's tumor is gone! Can you believe it! Two weeks ago he had a "cat scan" done and it showed the tumor growing. They were going to give him the next round of "chemo" and you papa really didn't want to go through with it. Well, before they do the "chemo" you have to have the "pet scan" first witch shows where all the cancer is at and it came back negative. There was nothing there! This is a BIG PRAISE THE LORD!
Your nana kept asking the doctor are you sure. Are you looking at the right pictures. Please be looking at the right ones and not call me up in a few days saying we made a mistake. They assured her that wasn't the case. Wow!
I don't know what to say. I want to believe and at the same time I'm thinking this can't be. Melissa said it is just our hearts protecting us from the pain of what if it isn't true. I've already told some people here that God just performed a miracle on my dad. Please don't let it be wrong but my faith says otherwise. It's really true.
Just thought this would make your day. Let Heather know for me ok :) :)
Love,
Daddy |

| Descartes Was A Bill Poster |
[Sep. 1st, 2004|10:06 pm] |
So I read the first and second chapter of his mediations for my Making of the Modern Self Class. Hands down, he's a bill poster and a Chaung Zha wannabe.
I have never had a dream that was so real I though I was awake. I've had some realistic dreams, but never a dream so real I was convinced that I was concious inside my imagination. What's the point of life, a gift from God, if we believe ourselves to not exist? What's the point of being ourselves and of taking another breath if we think that we're caught up in a dreamland?
Maybe he only wanted to discover what he knew and did not know, or could know and could not know. I think he was really confused and said as much as he could so that he would be quoted.
I am not dreaming, I am awake. This is not The Matrix, this is a very real present and a very real now. I exist, and my mind is not some floating thinking machine, but a part of my body. A body designed to be Landon. What merits The Meditations in my syllabus, I do not know.

| A Troubled Nation |
[Aug. 11th, 2004|10:06 pm] |
Its funny how my lj goes untouched for months, and then I post one email about Kerry and suddenly everyone is telling me that I'm full of it. Now I've been told that if I give love to other people's lj's, then I get love back. I know that I don't respond to everyone and I know that my life's events are sorta boring and I do my fair share of complaining, so I'm not exactly dying to be Mr. Popular. I've lived with or hung with you guys for awhile, and pretty much the only real sign of me in Wardman are opera bursts and my footsteps back and forth from my room to Andrew's.
Now for the most part, I don't really say too much about religion or politics, and probably skirt both of them more than I should. Unless someone comes up to me and asks, I tend to sorta sit next to Adam wherever he is at the CI and pretty much mind my own business. Either that, or you can find me in the fort talking to Heather.
I'm a Bush supporter. I like the guy. In fact, I think if the opportunity presented itself, my family and the Bush family would get along great. I proudly stand behind the president and do my share of flag waving when I get the chance. Of course, nowadays anyone who waves an American flag proudly is a Bush supporter. If that's the case fine by me, because I'm going to wave my flag no matter who is in office.
Andrew, if my last post was so full of lies, please point them out and correct them. Of course, if anyone actually does any real research on this stuff, they're going to find that the real lies are the ones being spread by the majority of the media and buy junk like Fahrenheit 911. Seriously, I don't understand how a man like Kerry can be defended. He's a flip-flop, he doesn't stand behind anything. He tells everyone I'm for the war in Iraq, and then the next moment he's telling everyone that he's against it. He'll say anything the media wants him to say. What is it exactly he stands for? You got me. Bush goes up against a nation full of people who hates him and still follows morality and maintains his character. Now I don't agree with everything that's he's done, but he got rid of Saddam and freed 50 million people from torture and fear. Lets all take a trip together to the middle east and dig through the mass graves.
What else puzzles me is that we get bombed, and Americans practically say that we deserve it. In fact, I hear more and more that Americans are the real terrorists and that these guys bombing us have a right to kill us. Meredith, you should know that socialism is not the answer. If socialism and/or communism is so appealing, please, leave the U.S. and go live in one of those countries. Do you want to know what's going on in China right now? Christians are being killed everyday. But lets go ahead and support socialism and communism that allows for those sort of things. Then lets cover it up and ignore the topic. Then let's say underground churches shouldn't be there.
911 was more than a tragedy, and we've been fighting a war that has been going on long before George Bush. Meredith, I really am sorry about your family. As a Boy Scout, I've seen the effects that war has on people, because I've always been involved with the vets. Do you see anyone bombing us now? No, because we've got people doing their job protecting us. My heart goes out to our troops all around the world defending a nation of citizens that condemn their own country. That's some interesting freedom we have.
The extremist left-wingers have taken control of the democratic party. Gone are days of the democrats like Kennedy that a nation could respect and love. The democratic party has turned into people like Clinton, who can do who knows what with who knows who, lie about it, write a book and then say he lied about everything, and then be praised as one of the greatest presidents ever. I don't even think that this upcoming election will be about facts, or truth, because no one cares about those things. Lets just all hate Bush for no reason, turn it into a catch phrase, and elect anyone over our current president that defends what our nations is supposed to stand for.
And now the saddest part of all. You all are beyond convincing. You guys are still my friends and I'm gonna come back from Denmark and hang out with you all, but you're beyond convincing. No one cares about facts or truth because truth is conservative propaganda. I won't ask you to like Bush or to agree with everything I say, but I'm still going to wait for someone to do some real research about what is going on.
I challenge anyone reading this to think about what I’ve said, or at least to try and have care for our great nation in trouble.

JOB APPLICATION
NAME: John Forbes Kerry
RESIDENCE: 7 mansions, including Washington, DC, worth multimillions.
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
Law Enforcement: I voted to cut every law enforcement, CIA and defense bill in my career as a US Senator. I ordered Boston to remove a fire hydrant, which I considered unsightly, from in front of my mansion, thereby endangering my neighbors in the event of fire.
MILITARY:
I used three minor injuries to get an early discharge from the military and service in Vietnam (as documented by the attending doctor). I then returned to the US, joined Jane Fonda in protesting the war, and insulted returning Vietnam vets, claiming they committed atrocities and were baby killers. I threw my medals, ribbons, or something away in protest. Or did I? My book, "Vietnam Veterans Against the War: The New Soldier," shows how I truly feel about the military. I deplore the military!
COLLEGE:
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. Unlike my opponent, George W. Bush, I have no higher education and did not get admitted to Harvard nor graduate with an M.B.A
PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:
I ran for U.S. Congress and have been there ever since. I have no real world experience except that of a gigolo, by marrying rich women and running HJ Heinz vicariously through my wife, Teresa.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
As a US Senator I set the record for the most liberal voting record, exceeding even Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. I have consistently failed to support our military and CIA by voting against budgets, thus gutting our country's ability to defend itself.
Although I voted for the Iraq War, now I am against it and refuse to admit that I voted for it. I voted for every liberal piece of legislation. I have no plan to help this country but I intend to raise taxes significantly if I am elected.
My wealth so far exceeds that of my opponent, George Bush, that he will never catch up. I make few charitable contributions and have never agreed to voluntarily pay any excess taxes in Massachusetts, despite family wealth in excess of $700-million.
I (we) own 28 manufacturing plants (Heinz) outside of the U.S. in places like Asia, Mexico and Europe. We can make more profit from the cheaper cost of labor in those countries, although I continue to blame George Bush for sending all of the jobs out of country.
Although I claim to be in favor of alternative energy sources, Ted Kennedy and I oppose windmills off Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard as it might spoil our view of the ocean as we cruise on our yachts.
RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
None.
PERSONAL
I ride a Serotta Bike.
My Gulfstream V Jet I call "The Flying Squirrel."
I call my $850,000 42-foot Hinckley twin diesel yacht the "Scarmouche."
I am fascinated by rap and hip-hop and feel it reflects our real culture.
I own several "large" SUVs, including one parked at my Nantucket summer mansion, though I am against large, polluting, inefficient vehicles and blame George Bush for the energy problems.
PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004. |

I'm thrilled that the summer is finally coming on its last month. For those of you who are having a great summer and want to keep having a good time, you rock. But I just want to fast forward to driving down to pick Heather up and then flying my tail outta here! I wish I knew what my housing situation was going to be like but I guess only time will tell. I don't really care where they put me now, as long as I can get to my classes on time.
I've hardly completed a thing that I really needed to this summer. I only made 400 bucks cash and my $1,000 job was a fall through because the final people wouldn't give their seal of approval. Man, I really need the money...which is exactly why I hate money.
But like I said, I've been so busy counting down the days that I haven't drafted up a sufficiently pleasing idea of what my senior project is going to be, I never finished my stain glass project, and now I'm feeling behind. I'm ready to rock 'n' roll in Copenhagen, but I hope I don't fall into any traps and I really study hard. After just about crying every bloomin' night of April and May over late work, I think its finally in my system that I don't want to be an international screw-up.
Its been the hardest ever at the house. Tonight we had a bbq but it doesn't make up for what happened. Hopefully there will be some peace soon.
Three more weeks...

[Jul. 25th, 2004|01:28 pm] |
Yes, Kacy has now met Toby Maguire twice, and danced with him at work in San Francisco. Pretty cool, methinks. Next time she runs into him though, I wish she'd get me something signed! :-)
I woke up a little tired this morning, but mostly because I wanted to see how Tremors 4 ended. I still have the say that the second one was the best.
I'm getting a little tired of cheesy sci-fi movies and wishing I had more money. I got a call from Coach and he says my 500-1000 mullah making job might go out the window because the school won't give us the final go to re-tile and re-sheetrock some bathrooms. Actually, I haven't talked to Coach for a little bit since I burned my legs up in practice. Once the chaffing scabbed over my Uncle and I went out for a little 8-9 mile run. I always feel a little bad for Krista's dad because he always sweats and breathes hard and I just kinda do my thing. He's a great runner, and I hope he can muster in one more marathon.
Finally finished The Inferno. I don't have the Purgatorio or whatever its called so I'm just going to skip to Dr. Furman-Adam's blessed rose of heaven book, The Paradiso. Hey, I may be a year late but at least its getting finished off.
The summer is finally finally drawing to a close. I have two more weddings to work and then it will be count down to flyling out with my secret admirer to Copenhagen. Then I can spend lots of money I don't have so I can pay off interest for the rest of my natural life.
I'm feeling pretty good about my reading list, some artwork I've been messing around with, and my weight training. Starting to see some results in my vocabulary and my gut so both must be paying off.
Off to do some more chores...

Well...summer rolls on...
Having Adam over and singing Heenay Ma Tov and playing Lord of the Rings was sooo much fun. *sniff* Its not the same without little runts at the pool scratching our backs and trying to poke our eyes out. It sure was fun having you here and I hope you'll make it up here again.
Not to knock Adam, but I waited all summer to have Heather over...and now she's gone. Double sniff. What a great time!
But now its back to reading, studying, and doing chores. I decided to pick up Dante since I sorta thumbed it in med lit last year and I'm almost through the Inferno. I think I'll go back and re-read everything, or in some cases, read for the first time.
I put a hold on The Train Was On Time.
Well I miss the floor and seeing all you guys and gals. I'll be missing everyone while I'm in Copey studying my behind off.
My Eagle Court was a hit. I let my grandpa have my certificate and he was really proud.

What a long month. Can't say too much more than that.
Father's Day was lots of fun as usual. We got my dad a Mr. Clean Automobile Kit that my Uncle recommended to him. We tried to tell my dad not to wash his truck the night before, but he washed his blasted baby anyway. The next day he opens up Mr. Clean. Men, what is their collective problem?
I have to take Crockett in to get fixed on the day that Adam comes up to see me in UC. We took the poor beast out for a test drive in my dad's truck that he just washed, and he made a filthy mess in the back and clawed part of the roof. My dad was pretty upset that he had to wash the truck again plus Crockett might act up again on the way to the vet. Oh boy.
On the up side of this slow month I made it out to the library and put some books on hold. No, I didn't get around to pulling The Train Was On Time out of the stacks, but maybe I'll see what I can do. ;-)
Countdown to having my best bud and the like of my life under one roof.
