It’s good to be in the Vampire business… apparently

Thanks to the latest episode of Southpark, I was curious if there really is a trend of kids dressing like vampires.  That question remains unanswered, but I did a search and find something much more interesting.

Apparently, even though the economy is in the crapper, it has been a good few months to be in the vampire business.  Could this be because of some secret skull and bones vampire conspiracy?

Being Nocturnal

November 18th, 2008

I’ve always liked staying up late to do work.  I am just more focused at night.  But lately, I’ve been staying up all night and sleeping almost all day and I have to say… it’s taking a toll.  The days seem to fly by faster and it is harder to keep track of time.  I’m about done with it.

However, being nocturnal is no where near as bad as the 24/12 experiment I did, though.   The plan was to stay up 24-hours and sleep 12 to create a 36 hour day. After a few 36 hour days my brain was mush and I was ready to give up since there was no point to the experiment in the first place.  Maybe it would have worked better if the environment supported a 36 hour day with corresponding light/dark periods.  After all… it works for plants, right?

As you may have already noticed… there isn’t really a point to this post.  I was just tired of looking at my previous one.  No matter.  No one reads this anyway.

I <3 George W. Bush

November 4th, 2008

I like President George W. Bush.  Hear me out before you call for the tar and feathering!

I like him because he is the decider.  I like him because he doesn’t read newspapers.  I like him because he has an evil snicker and sneer.  Most importantly, though, I like him because he has done more for this country than any other president in recent history.

Don’t believe me?  Look at what is going on in our country today.  President Bush v2 has so enraged and demoralized the american public that they are turning out to the polls in record numbers, and a lot of those voters have a new kind of choice.  You are still limited to democrat or republican, but at least it isn’t a ticket of four aging white men from privileged backgrounds.

Think about that.  Could that have been possible if George W. Bush had never become president?  Would we have the choice we have today if he had not fucked up our country, and the world, so severely?

Even republicans are abandoning the sinking ship as the party turns into one of the ultra right-wing Christian conservatives.  A legion of Sarah Palins.  Imagine it!  The cries of one thousand, “you betchas”, ringing in your ears.

It would be really great for our country if all these non-insane republicans would form a new party where “missions from God” didn’t exist.  I might even vote for some of them — maybe.

George might not be responsible for all this directly, especially, the bumbling of the McCain campaign, but he definitely got the ball rolling.

My only hope is that George Bush has done enough damage to our country.  Done enough damage to the world.  And done enough damage to the republican party, so that we will not see another one of his kind for a long time to come — if ever.
