December 5th, 2007

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, it's AMORE!

I feel like lying.

So some senator/ (former?) military officer tried to instigate a junta, again... talking about it being non-violent (B.S...); saying it was spontaneous (B.S...); lies... I was supposed to go out and buy gifts for Christmas and I so couldn't. Who would go out with money on hand with a threat (though looking back it wasn't much of a threat) of a junta, right? Anyway I don't know him and whoever he's with in his cute little show - that guy with a wig was hilarious though. All I know is he failed to put into account one of the most important logistical consideration in organizing a movement of the type he was aspiring for: the weather. There was a looming rain. It might have had but I don't know for sure, I didn't go out. I wasn't able to go buy gifts for the people in my nice list. Trivial as it might seem, the weather or the rain was (and I think will persistently will be) the last straw the breaks the camel's back. And by 'camel's back' I mean the masses or the masses’ ability to do anything in a gross over generalization of course. but my point is think about it, if it rained in any household of lesser means I’d say there's a fifty-fifty chance of the people in that household to go out of the rain, spend for transpo, get into traffic or walk, and 'risk their lives'. It may be just my bias but I’m sure when it rains, transportation costs and hassle exponentially increase. I would think they'd rather help out in fixing holes (if any) on the roof, or something. And who would want to miss of all it on TV? Again, that guy with the wig... classic. So there I wasn't able to buy Christmas gifts coz of the rain and the group with the guy with a wig. I'm expecting busy weeks before Christmas, I’ll be too busy to go buy stuff... and to think I had that day off just for that purpose. Thank you guy with a wig and company.


I feel like lying some more.

Back on the subject of the weather and it’s adverse effects on the people's ability to participate in democracy. Going back, maybe nobody really cared about the guy with the wig and company wanted to say or do. But assuming somehow they do, even just a little bit. Why were they not there? Or why were their number seemed negligeable that I saw no shot of supporters on TV. And I was watching (who wasn't? it was live original TV! ... or maybe not that original but still cool to watch). I humbly propose that the one to blame was the weather. They just couldn't. Common sense dictates that whenever it rains traffic situations are bad - the supporters were stuck in traffic. It could be that the weather made them sick and since they were grouping together, the sickness spread - on second thought no this is just sick thinking. Forget it.
