just as everyone predicted, gustav didnt really do shit. but thats not really what i want to talk about tonight. im not sure what i want to talk about.
esha told me its not my nature to talk. i wonder if that means i dont have enough to say, if theres some sort of threshold i cannot cross in my ability to communicate. ive always been a little more soft-spoken and quiet when people yapped on about bull shit. this is actually a pretty nifty idea to ponder.
perhaps there is some sort of untapped capacity inside me. perhaps i could have become one of those folks who chats a lot, but if you look at my writing- a truer glance at what i am- youll probably find im not really that comfortable with groups of people.
the way i see it (this was inferred from ernest hemingway) there are only two types of writers: those who can only find truth in other people and those who can only find it in themselves. the former must associate with as many people as possible to piece together a common human experience, the puzzlework of man. the latter can only write when they are kept to themselves, sifting through the recesses of their own insecurities to find what they know is genuine and hope they can make others feel the same way.
thats all i really have to say tonight. my eyes hurt a little.

of hurricanes and john mccain
im back with a vengeance. its a little shameful, all of those 6 word blogs, so im going to renew my self-challenge and try to post more lengthy blogs.
news affecting me right now: gustav and sarah palin.
for gustav. i think this storm may be hyped a little too much because katrina was so disastrous. i really hope im right. louisiana governor bobby jindall is one of my favorite politicians. he seems genuine interested in improving the well-being of his state and seems to have a certain level of confidence to his knowledge of the state affairs.
im not sure any of my family members will be directly effected. from the sounds of things, the storm will be a little too weak to reach as far inland as my relatives live. i know a couple of people who were attending lsu. theyve returned home for the labor day weekend anyway, so it wont effect them too much.
for palin. this may go down as the worst political choice made in over a decade. it will most certainly be the reason john mccain loses the election. sarah palin undercuts his message of experience and is a very unsettling pick for the person one heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the country, if not the western world.
if this was an attempt to woo hillary clinton supporters, it is pathetic. the disaffected ones may have been a little over-zealous, but they by no means want to see some woman who isnt hillary shatter that glass ceiling. if this was an attempt to bolster support from within the party, i dont know anyone who has any sort of renewed enthusiasm regarding the pick. most people simply dont understand it.
i havent done too much research, but from what i can tell, she is known for reforming and cutting the fat, which makes her a pretty valuable executive hand. but theres also some stupid conspiracy surrounding why she fired someone. and it revolves around some family issue. it doesnt sway my vote. but hardcore dems are always looking for a scandal.
thats all i can really comment on right now. if you have any requests for writing topic, leave them in the comments. otherwise, expect a post-gustav rant before weeks end. and a rnc review soon after.
