First things first: you may have heard Richard Clarke, the former head of counter-terrorism, giving an interview on "60 minutes" where he claimed Bush did nothing to stop al-Qaeda despite many warnings by him. He's also taken to praising Clinton's "actions" to thwart the terrorist network.

It's about midnight, and I'm typing away at my desk. I hear someone calling my name, a girl named Brenda. I enter the room to see her, a guy named Pierre, and two carts full of certificate books. She asks if Pierre and I can move the carts into the book room, because they're too heavy for her.
So my question is, why are women so lazy?

First, reader participation time.
Here's an exercise for ya'll: go and read this article on AOL News. It gives an account on the question of whether or not the U.S. forced President Jean-Bertrand Aristide out of power through threats of violence. I want you to compare the U.S. Embassy's translation of Aristide's letter with an independent translation done Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075513589501810461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156138.post-1078222022824906782004-03-02T02:07:00.000-08:002004-03-02T02:10:22.060-08:00Nothing recently has grabbed my attention, so I shall resort to that standby of lazy column writing, the bullet point column.
- For the past week, there has been a rebellion going on in Haiti. Revolutionaries have been trying to oust President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. He refused to step down, even as countries such as the U.S. and France tried to get him to leave. Finally, he seemed to have Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075513589501810461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156138.post-1077884211716388072004-02-27T04:16:00.000-08:002004-02-27T04:21:22.610-08:00- One more note about gay marriage, and then I'm going to get off the topic.
I've stated before that I support the idea in theory. However, there's a caveat:
I am reluctant to acknowledge the idea that man-man and woman-woman relationships are equal to traditional relationships when it comes to parenting.
Man and woman, working together as one parental unit, create a balance that is hard to Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075513589501810461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156138.post-1077629029713520352004-02-24T05:23:00.000-08:002004-02-24T05:30:42.576-08:00For some reason, I seem to be very interested in the San Francisco issue, where a judge has refused to order an injuction halting the gay marriages (illegal in California via voter referdendum).
This is partly because the issue is so polarizing. It's also an interesting issue because there are so many stupid people involved in this process.

In Massechusetts, a judge ordered the legislature to pass a law sanctifying gay marriage. In San Francisco, the city has defied state law by issuing marriage certificates to gay couples.
All of this has been tearing away at me, because I don't know where to go.

I've been all over the map. When I was in elementary school, it was "Christian, I guess." High school, I turned to atheism. After I graduated, I came to the conclusion that I was a theist- that is, I believed in God, but not in a doctrine.

Having heard excerpts from that appearence, I've come to the conclusion that I should analyze the question here.
The question is simple. Should the President have gone to war?

Now, last entry was an Angry David piece.
It's time to see Analytical David come out.
You all know that I found JJ's little halftime show stunt to be insulting. That is all good and well to talk about. However, there's something more interesting to talk about here.

Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson are selfish. Pompous. Self-absorbed. Unconcerned of others.
Now *I* didn't find Janet's boob exposure that offensive. I don't have that stigma.
Maybe *you* didn't find it that offensive.

If you've never been there before, it's something to be experienced. The chef cooks the food on the very table you eat on (obviously your part of the table is de-ovenated). He puts on a little show, tossing food in the air and making Pikachu out of fried rice. Silly stuff like that.

In the course of doing so, I've released three things:
1) Not a one of the Democratic candidates should ever come near the White House.
2) Research is exhausting.
3) I hate politics.
The third one was something I kind of knew already. Politicians are usually extremely shady, evasive, and petty.

It is a web blog.
If you don't know the difference, a diary is a log of a person's daily activities and thoughts.
A blog is essentially a conduit into that person's thoughts. It's a talk box.
So while I will comment on the happenings of my life, I have no interest in turning this site into a "What did David do today?"Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075513589501810461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156138.post-1075136629559251282004-01-26T09:03:00.000-08:002004-01-26T14:01:54.436-08:00Powell Admits Possibility Iraq had no WMD
Yes, I've been open to the possibility that Saddam never actually had WMD. I know that the Bush administration is still under the belief that he did, despite Kay's recent claims that he believed Saddam didn't have any WMDs. I know that our intelligence community may have made a mistake in assuming that Saddam had weapons in his possession.

It's a preliminary report written by David Kay, the man previously in charge of the WMD search in IRAQ whom has since resigned to return to the private sector. The media's coverage of the report was simply "Kay report turns up no WMDs yet", which fails to address the report firmly stating that intent was there.

I don't know if you realize this David, but you're a very conservative centrist. It's like the moderator asking Gen. Clark, "You voted for Nixon, you voted for Reagan, you praised Bush's bravery concerning the Iraq war. When did you suddenly decide you were a Democrat?"

Well, I enjoyed doing the Dean thing last night, so later today I'll do Senator Joseph Lieberman. He's probably the best candidate out of the bunch. He doesn't deserve to take over for Bush, but at least he's reasonably principled.

I was originally going to stop after what I wrote earlier about the two parents of "bipolar children". But hey, I've got the energy for it, and I'm bored. So let's go.
The plan was to do Bush first tommorrow. But Bush can wait until after New Hampshire. He'll be there no matter what.

And I have no idea what that means.
I saw a piece on ABC news about bipolar disorder. It featured an interview of two mothers whose children allegedly suffered from it. They have written a book on the subject that I cannot remember the title of. That is, of course, irrelevant, because these two women were nutcases.
First off, they mentioned that you can tell Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075513589501810461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156138.post-1074773971845563822004-01-22T04:19:00.000-08:002004-01-22T04:21:34.046-08:00I'm baaaacccckkkk
In the saddle again
Today's entry will be about.....wait for it.....politics!
Oh, stop groaning. Okay, fine, I'll just go tell about all of the things that have happened in my life since my last entry.
Which is, of course, absolutely nothing of note. I work, I play, I write, that's it. So politics it is.
Actually, I think I will do a brief paragraph on the Roger Clemens Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075513589501810461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156138.post-1074336500219821792004-01-17T02:48:00.000-08:002004-01-17T02:57:35.996-08:00Okay, in three days the Iowa Caucus is scheduled. For those not politically active, it's the first step in the process of nominating a Democratic Presidential candidate to run against Bush. So I'm in a political mood.
I'm not, however, going to talk about the sorry lot of Democratic candidates. Instead, I'm going to respond to a silly article my dad sent me a link to.

I don't get it.
Dean's rep says action in Bosnia was justified for humanitarian purposes. So all of the raping and mass murdering Saddam Hussein inflicted on his own people doesn't qualify?

You know, I wrote a huge entry last night on the signing of Roger Clemens, and it got fucking wasted by my computer. Very demoralizing.
Well, anyway I've finally gotten everything set up at my new pad. So I should be back to updating semi-regularly again. Won't do it tonight, due to talking at Sandy for a couple of hours about the hyprocracy of Howard Dean.

I've recently moved apartments. Not apartment complexes mind you. Just apartments. Now, the phone line has not been moved yet. Therefore, it's a bitch to come over here and get on the internet.

I'm sorry, probably about 3 people in the world understood that last sentence. Lemme try again:
My life is beyond strange sometimes.
- Sandy and I spent Christmas Eve at my mom's house. While we're there, my mom decides to show Sandy baby pictures of me....some of them featuring a naked David.

Actually, good reason for it: I've been moving. Right now I live with my brother at the apartment complex he works at. Now, the manager of this complex used to be my mom. It now is not. Therefore, they have decided to charge us rent. Therefore, we need to move into a smaller unit. So there ya go. Moving sucks. We still aren't even done yet.

Haven't written in a while, due to a combination of my computer sucking and coming to the realization that writing as much as I was as often as I was writing it was going to lead to me getting burnt out. It's probably better that I write smaller entries for now, so that's what I'll do. I'll save the large entries for the weekends.

I said I was going to update yesterday, and I didn't. Sorry.
However, I have an excellent reason for not doing so: my computer has shit itself. Until I figure out what's going on and how to fix it, I have to do some computer acrobatics just to get AOL to run.

Short entry tonight, as I haven't put nearly enough time into Final Fantasy X-2 lately.
- In a previous entry, I countered an argument put forth by William Savage, a talk show host that's on 950 KPRC from 9 PM-12 AM. His argument was that America's pornography and decadent lifestyle was mostly to blame for 9/11.
Well, tonight someone called in and mentioned that Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075513589501810461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156138.post-1071133327009873432003-12-11T01:02:00.000-08:002003-12-11T01:35:20.790-08:00Yesterday, I stated I was going to share a discussion I had with a few of my coworkers, but since I am wacky and unpredictable I think I'll talk about the past few hours instead.
It's 11:45 pm, and I'm at work. Our supervisor Jim tells us he smells gas, the fire department shows up, yada-yada-yada....we get to leave at midnight, an hour and a half early.

Let's move on.
- I saw Phone Booth over the weekend, and I was floored. This is one of those movies that, in just about any sense of the word, is a huge success. It did well at the box office, it had a low budget (It was shot in a few days with only one principal set), and it had great artistic merit. That's exactly the kind of movies that Hollywood needs more of.

- First off, let me take this opportunity to pimp Final Fantasy X-2, the first ever direct sequel to a Final Fantasy game. Now, Final Fantasy X had a fairly serious tone running through it. For the sequel, Squaresoft went way into left field and turned its main characters into some strange version of the Charlie's Angels.

One of the personalities I listen to is a man by the name of William Savage. I've enjoyed listening to him, as he makes his case by presenting facts. I admire that.
I did hear him say something that speaks volumes on how most conservatives think. Mr. Savage wants to hold a porn burning party in San Francisco in January to Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075513589501810461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156138.post-1070625864964570822003-12-05T04:04:00.000-08:002003-12-05T04:04:36.106-08:00The name's Key.

I feel like touching a few subjects tonight, so here we go.
- If you watched the local news last night, you might have seen a story about a couple of people jumping someone at Dynasty Supermarket in Chinatown, near Beltway 8 and Bellaire. Most stories like this don't bother me, but this one does because that supermarket is right next to my apartment complex.

Sadly, I am not very clever when it comes to captions, titles, and the like. So "Dig The D" it is for now.
Besides, I like it, and isn't that what matters? The way *I* feel about it?
....well, screw you too.
I'm in a weird mood tonight. On the one hand, not so pleasant happenings have happened today. On the otherDavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075513589501810461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156138.post-1070443690930417112003-12-03T01:28:00.000-08:002003-12-03T01:28:21.203-08:00By the way, here's a note for all of you out there: if my grammar is off, or something's misspelled, just try to keep in mind that I will be updating daily at around 3:00 AM. That's after having spent eight hours at work and two hours on the road.
In particular, I'm thinking of one English major who might very well point out every mistake I make. To you, I say.....bring it on, sister.

Only it was ten years so much as it was ten months, and we didn't celebrate so much as say "Happy 2nd" to each other. Uneventful? Yes. Meaningful? Arguably not, as it hasn't even been a year yet. But hey, I like keeping track of the length of my relationships.

I don't envision anybody besides my small, small group of friends ever reading a word I write here. I do however love to entertain and enlighten, and so I will try to give them something interesting to read every day. To those friends, I hope this blog helps you understand me a bit better.
