Mon, 3 July 2006 Happy Birthday to the United States of America, today you're officially 230 years old. As far as nations are concerned, the USA is just out of diapers, and nowhere near as mature as many other nations of the world. And yet, we're like a 2 year old wielding a gun ... the gun being a metaphor for nuclear weapons. In this podcast, I talk about what's been going on with me and the mundane details of my life ... oooooh, how exciting ... NOT! But, I did see my "ex" and found out he is dating someone else. Don't have any of the details really, and don't want to know. I guess have mixed emotions about him seeing someone else. I guess I am kinda hurt by that, but also, I know any relationship he has probably isn't gonna work ... not unless he's matured in the last 3 years, which he hasn't. Speaking of the "ex" ... this is the third year anniversary of our breakup. Well, I had a chance to think my "ex" and relationships in general ... I think I kinda know where I stand on the issue. As much as a relationship could happen to me ... being in a relationship terrifies me because I don't want to get hurt again the way I did in my last relationship. After 3 years of "divorce" the happy memories are still with me, and I can't seem to quit him ... if you catch my Brokeback reference. Maybe it's a catch-22, I can't get over him until I meet someone else, and I can't meet someone else until I get over him. Time will tell. So, anyway, 4th of July has a different meaning to me, and I talk a little about America's history and how our world has changed. I think it's ironic that we celebrate the 4th of July and the start of our Bill of Rights and Constitution ... and for the past few years the Executive branch of the goverment has been taking our rights away, and the Congress has let it happen! Quite frankly, I am terrified ... not by the terrorists, but by a goverment slowly turning into a fascist dictatorship. If God hears my prayers, then we will have a majority democratic Congress. Happy Fourth of July! Have a great time and stay safe! Comments[0] |
