Triple Kick to the Balls
Bush somehow won the election. Thus proving Kent Brockman right, "I've said it a thousand times people, democracy doesn't work!"
My father is in the hospital with a blood infection, and possibly type 2 diabetes.
My grandfather is also in the hospital, in the critical care unit. 1 step below intensive care. Seems one of his doctor's prescribed some medication that caused heart palpitations.
And Erin and I don't really know where we stand. We've been in a rut for a long time, and we're trying this month to see if we can bring the passion back into our relationship. I'm going to give it, and her, my best and truest shot. But either way, its going to be a hard road for both us.
So those are the three major red flags in my life right now. My mom might be all alone this weekend because my father may or not be released from the hospital by friday. I'm going home home, to lewisburg, to see what help I can be. My father doesn't have health insurance. Or at least, not anything to sneeze at. He works a fucking quickie mart on the graveyard shift. Basically he cards the drop outs and burn outs that still inhabit lewisburg.
So I'll probably be throwing my parents some cash to help with the bills. Time for some more monthly installments towards good karma in the future.
Its late. I've said enough. Sorry this blog is so self absorbed and such a downer. But when you think about what happened on the second, for the 48% of america that voted intelligently, today was like 9/11, the kennedy assassaination, both NASA disasters, and Pearl Harbor all rolled into one.
So I doubt anyone has anything good to say right now. Except Haliburton executives and Fox News.
