Dont you hate to think of what is ahead?
over they next 3year if we even last that long.
Dont you just wanna just lash out at every Rightwinger
you know right now and make them accountable for
voting for such an asshole.
How much longer can the Rightwing defend a booming
economy?????
I hate the thought of budget meals and having to cut
costs everywhere i can.
Guess i better loot some movies from the internets
while i still can. Its gonna be a long winter folks.

1. While getting gas, I said to the lady pumping gas nearby
"It's only gone up 20¢! Could be worse!" She said, "Yeah" and shook her head disgustedly. I wanted to ask her if she voted for Bush and if so, she had only herself to blame, but I'm a coward.

2. Time to hunker down, that's for sure
Do you have goods or talents that you can trade with your neighbor? As the economy tanks, a lot of us will be out of a job.
The next is for those who have a cold winter to look forward to:
If it is feasable, this is the time to do as much as you can to insulate your house. You can make a bathrobe out of a blanket (I've done it and it's not that hard) and get as many blankets as you can. That way you can keep the temperature down in your home and not die of frostbite. If you have a fireplace, make sure it is an efficient one. Add a wood buring stove if you live in an area where it is easy to get wood.

and obtained most of what i have under Clinton.
My neighbors are all Bushbots. One income in
this house now which makes it even harder.

3. I fear what will happen to families all accross the US
who are living paycheck to paycheck. (Like us)

Every time I worry I think of all the people who Katrina directly affected, I know I have it better and they're all suffering right now.

But what will all of us do this winter? Oh God.

4. As a Kerry campaign person, I know who everybody in my neighborhood
voted for. I can't even look at some of those bastards anymore. Some were really shitty and rude last fall. I hope they suffer even worse that the rest of us.

7. I feel the same way
and i was a mystery mailbox stuffer late at night
trying to expose reasons not to vote for Bush.
Like you I to know all my neighbors who are Bushbots
and feel like yelling out my car on bad days.
I know they are going to suffer as well.

11. I've been having dreams where I am just punching people
They are uncomfortable dreams. I never recognize the people I'm punching, but I somehow know they are deserving of the beating I'm giving them.

I figure these dreams are just letting my subconscious work out the rage and helplessness I'm feeling about things.

I'm not normally a guy prone to violence which makes these dreams really disconcerting.

Anyone else experiencing frustrated sleep?

16. Funny - I've been dreaming about hitting a big glass ball
w/a baseball bat and having it shatter into a million tiny pieces. I always feel a great sense of relief after I hit the ball and then I can see myself walking away with my shoulders shrugged down dragging the bat behind me.

I wonder if we know the same people?

13. part of me wants to take solace in the fact that
those who voted for Bush are the ones who will suffer the most.

But the other part of me knows that's wrong.
