George Carlin joke of the day:
“I can’t believe anyone would pay more $1 for water. You know what Evian spelled backwards is? Naive!”
“You know it’s impossible to sneeze and pee at the same time. You just can’t do it!”
“I think China’s gonna win it all.”
Friday is looming. Friday I’m scheduled to head up to camp…and I’ve been denying the fact that I’m going, expecting to call them that day and bail out…so when Friday does come and I end up likely going, what’s that going to be like?
It’ll be 1 part emotional relief, being in a healthy social setting, hearing familiar Austalian voices again. Forgetting whatever it is that has me worried now. But…some of that worry is likely to carry over, such as, what am I doing this year?
I watched this awfully cheezy show w/ Jason Priestly playing the role of a Joe Mililionaire type character, it was a made-for-tv movie about a reality show. On one of his dates, the girl asks him what he wants to do w/ his life… where he sees himself going. He fumbled big time on that one.
Tom. I have my first real job interview ever, and considering I’ve only applied for two jobs, I guess it’s pretty important that I get some kind of an offer. I think I tend to fear things because they’re abstract and unknown, and the second you put a face behind it, things change…so I’m actually looking forward to this interview tom. (doing a camp for the blind…which will start sounding cool the more i say it, but it’s more a job i’m applying for because it’s there, it’s not a job that i’ve been staring at for months).
last night was one of the best night’s i’ve had in a long time…great conversations, drinking outside on a warm night, my friend’s room feels like a coffee house, listening to good tunes, reading some of George Carlin’s book, hearing my friend discuss his many political and life theories…one of those guys who can quote almost every book he reads, truly astounding.
My favorite thought of his, was about media coverage. “When we bombed Afghanastan, CNN literally pulled out a map and did a little map lesson. It’s like our news only covers foreign countries if they’re countries we’re bombing the shit out of.” How true.

I remember in High school and Jr. High, the middle east and really, anything east of Western Europe were glossed over pretty badly. I’m sure it hasn’t improved much, except to focus on Iraq and the surrounding countries, to show where our troops are and where we’re bombing. *sigh*
good luck on the interview!
