On my street, these are the fables.

Hello,
The weathers pretty good and so it seems like everyone else is in relation to it. Which is a pleasant change from the horrific torture school that seemed to be these last couple of day. I don't know exactly what all the deal was but it seemed like the colder it got subsequently people got angrier. Not that I blame them I suppose there is a lot to be angry about. My main qualm with this kind of weather is really the extra preparations it takes to begin your day. I would venture that (in reality I guess I hadn't realized it until I wrote that sentence) I'm a minimalist when it comes to preparation and related taskes for better or for worse. Head first diving is my swimming event and as it goes I'm relatively successful with it. Where the fuck does weather get off trying to encroach on that? The sanctity of determining my own level of involvement is the one thing that I have left in this slowly decaying universe and the indifferent hand a fickle natural god is trying to pry it from my grasp. Seeing as how I have no control over this I find myself trying to pack this extra time into exactly the same amount of prep time that I would allocate for a normal day. Which, other than inherently problematic, is also not very successful despite my best efforts. Trying to coat,hat and glove up in the time that it normally takes one to put thier shoes on (did I mention that I also have TO put shoes on?) can invariably bring some detriment to ones ability to effectively be on time places. I'm not changing though, why should I? The weather is the one who sucks.
That being said everything is flowing quite nicely as of late wouldn't you say? Although I am aware that there is a small faction of you reading that aren't enrolled at some university I will echo my peers and collectively exhale at mid-terms rapping to thier conclusion and duck as to not get hit with the wind current that so often takes place when an entire university decides to breath. I only duck during the briefest first moment though, because after the initial push thier is nothing nicer than a campus relaxed. I believe it was Euripides whom said " Slay not thy beast, lest the campus itself be relaxed." He was spitting truth. It's fun to walk through that door held open out of sincerity as opposed to forced social mores. Although, nothing detracts from the fun of exploiting forced social mores. Ever keep sneezing just to receive the bless yous?
Can there be no greater discontent than that which seems to be building for this mid-term election? It would seem as if both parties are fearful although for different reasons. I suppose I'm the only liberal not completely convinced that the democrats have the leadership exo-skeleton to support the living flesh and blood that comes with real majority power. It seems as if over the last twenty years the solon's of the left have let their once whipped and honed leadership tactics boil and disintegrate into the rough equivalent of hearing Teddy Kennedy talk, which is a droning sound followed by the thought "I wonder if I could still spell Chapaquitic ?" Here we are though, like it or not, and although the credit can not surely fall to the rank and file democrats for turning this ride in America it's here. I think anyone can plainly see this majority of support was the President's to lose and he lost it. A sitting President with approval numbers in the doldrums. A party with scandals at almost every level of thier leadership and congressional teams, the liberals have haphazardly walked into what seems to be a situation in which they can "steal," America back,as it where, but the real question is are they prepared? The answer in my mind if a resounding no. When conservatives wrestled away majority from the Democrats all those many years back it was done under a flag of calculation and conformity. It rode a wave of many revolutionary tactics such as mass mailing and contemporary push-pull polling. In stark contrast, this current paradigm shift has been induced not by the potential receiver of power but moreso by inaptitude on the other side of the aisle. Albeit, like many I too feel strongly that a change by any measure is what this country desperately needs, to whom to do we turn to steer this great country now re-dedicated to liberal ideals? Harry Reid? John Kerry? Hillary Clinton? Remember these names and contrast them with thier intrinsic negative polarities. Recall that although this country has deemed it necessary for a change in leadership, the so called conservatives are still here and earning thier names. Social issues are as strident as ever with many of them facing us prominently and robustly as a country. Does the liberal leadership structure have an idealist whom can carry Alabama and South Carolina on his or her back? If the answer is yes, which I'm not convinced it is, what values does this person extol? Why has he/she the right to guide this country? By default? This line of logic has very real and substantial outcomes the most powerful of which leaves an American voting public without a party to turn to, one inept and the other unable.
Well I suppose that's about all for me. Keeping bundling up and bundling down, just keep bundling. I hope that this afternoon holds in store for you what it has in store for me, throwing balls at pins. Which is of course, more political commentary. Until then, get a damn haircut will you?
