Up at 7am. Stayed in bed till 8am. Got up, got dressed, trudged to swimming pool. Stronger laps today, yay. Walked back home. Got dressed. Radio Nation was amazing today. Playing RHCP, Arcade Fire, Muse. Brilliant time getting dressed for school! Will miss this when I go back :(
Reached Bute. Logged on. 20 emails! None of use. Saw Obama's victory speech. The man knows how to deliver a speech, if nothing else. Very focused on the great family values that Americans supposedly have. He even spoke of the importance of voting 'so that every child can go to school.' To do what? Learn the American Declaration of pseudo-Independence? My cousin knows it by heart. He is four and lives in New York and can barely read but he can recite the fucking Declaration in one go. Fuck-all fucking elections. They spoon-feed you to become worshippers of the great land of America and are not even subtle about it. Go watch Inception. Leaders are supposed to lead into making their countries a better place for the people residing those countries. For that, they need to address the pressing issues. And what is the most pressing issue for the world's most powerful nation? It affects its own people, AND those of other nations. Climate change. In my view anyway. NOT ONE time was this issue raised, during the entire period of this joke of a campaign. How many hurricanes and earthquakes and tsunamis do they need before they realise that gay rights and abortion are NOT priority!? Important, all issues are important. But NOT a priority.
Anyway, chatted with friend who accused me of being MIA. This is the second time a second person has made this accusation. What is wrong with people. I am not MIA. I am IA. Fuck off.
Read a wonderful piece on singledom. Being single and being lonely are not mutually symbiotic. Thank you very much. That needed articulation. The loneliest are those who fear being alone. Do I fear being alone? I don't think so. You despise it - those spaces in time when the existential reality of aloneness strikes you. Then you get used to it. It becomes a way of life. I think I am going to embrace it next.
You go your way
I'll go your way too

Till tomorrow. Shabba Khair.
