Watch this space; I'm open to falling from grace.

I can't remember now why I opened up this journal entry. Perhaps if I ramble long enough I'll recall it. Spent the past couple of weeks 'living within my means' which, given my means, is an adventure. But I made the rent this month. And so today I rewarded myself and bought a fast food burger. Okay, mostly I did it because I was starving and had just missed my bus. Much less stressed, at least for a little while.
I'm certain that hundreds of people either already have or will soon make much of the metaphor of the pregnant Palestinian and the pregnant Israeli who were wounded recently in two seperate 'retaliations for past attacks'. But it really outlines for me the stupid and senseless constant cycle of destruction that people insist on throwing themselves headfirst into. And if I hear Mona Charen go off one more time about how the US has 'finally gotten the spine to stand up for Israel' I'm dropping a very heavy rock on her.
New Year's Resolution: Do not read entire collected works of Dorothy Parker when in a black mood. Nonetheless:
Frustration
If I had a shiny gun I could have a world of fun
Speeding bullets through the brains Of the folk who give me pains

Or had I some poison gas I could make the moments pass
Bumping off a number of People whom I do not love

But I have no lethal weapon--Thus does fate our pleasure step on
So they still are quick and well Who should be, by rights, in Hell.

Nope, it's no use. I still can't think of why I logged in. Anyway, _24_ is over and I should go to bed.

Unfortunately, stupid people happen. In vast numbers. Often they insist on careers in journalism. They should all be sent to the Tower. (Ok. Too much British documentary on Queen Elizabeth I.)
