Valentine's Day is coming up and has me thinking of how alone I feel and then it reminded me of that song by Bush called Swallowed with the lyrics that go "I'm with everyone and yet not".  That is sort of like how I feel.  I am surrounded by great friends and at the same time I have a sense of nothingness around me.

I deleted a friend on facebook today because he called me an idiot(actually I cleaned that up a tad) for supporting our President.  This guy is a Christian and I quoted Romans 13 and he didn't budge.  I am pissed off with all these die-hard Christians who claim they follow the word of God but then want our country to fail because we have a guy in the White House with a D behind his name.  I guess Christians can pick and choose what they want to believe.  This means starting tomorrow I am going to go on a nationwide manhunt for people who cuss at the deaf and when I find those people, I will hurl stones at them.  Oh and I will have to start observing a kosher diet yet maybe I'll leave bacon in because that is so tasty.

More Valentine's Day stuff...I had a friend in college with whom I talked about love and marriage.  He always talked about his plan to find a girl whose birthday was on February 14th and then after a proper courtship he would ask for her hand in marriage and the date he would pick for the wedding would be February 14th.  He would knock out her birthday, anniversary and V-Day all in one shot.  My plans were to find a girl with whom I shared my birthday and because that day would be so special we would get married on that day.  Damn it...still stings...I actually had a girl that shared the same birthday.  Things didn't work.  Fuck you, distance. 

I was going to reveal something about myself that would probably change your preception of me.  No, I'm not gay.  I have always wondered how people view me.  I have had people say I am rough, mean, sarcistic, witty, funny, phoney, strong, intelligent, alcoholic, exotic, average...ok I could go on...but here goes: from time to time, I enjoy a musical.  I watched West Side Story the other night and loved it.  So I am not gay but I like an occasional musical and I think unicorns totally kick ass.

ALF is on.  FTW!  There needs to be more sitcoms centered around a smart-alleck alien hiding out in a surburban household.  ALF totally was a better sitcom than the one I am trying to write.  Double Vision...me married to conjoined twins...yeah not good.

I watch Top Chef.  Half the dishes on that show are unappetizing in my book, but that may be because half the dishes have seafood and I hate most seafood and am allergic to other forms.

I was reading somewhere on the Xanga network about how pissed off people are that Obama doesn't want to give stimulus money to schools that have religious services.  Hello...separation of church and state.  I taught at a religious school and that place was funded solely on the money from the members of the church but that backfired when gas started skyrocketing and people would rather fuel their cars than give to their Lord.  Catholic schools operate under the same means, offerings and not federal money.  Sure there are some kick backs but nothing drastic.  My school never took major handouts from the government because of the stipulations that may have been attached.  I can only remember getting money for a milk program.  That school in California that had the court rule in favor of them expelling the girls from the school because they were lesbians...well, my group of Lutheranism but it wasn't because the school was a religious school.  California Lutheran High School is a charter school and therefore can enroll and expell whomever they please.  People criticize that and say discrimination however they look the other way when public school expell "dumb" kids that won't do well on standardized tests, the standardized tests that depending on the school's performance illicit federal funding.  Record numbers of home schooled children?  Yeah right.  So many of those kids have been expelled by districts so they can meet their standards under No Child Left Behind.

I'm tired.  Maybe I'll do my comic stuff tomorrow sometime.
