Oh holla. Damn swell holla. I actually slept last night, and it was fantastic, particularly since I was in a different bed…but you don’t want to read about that do you? Exactly. If there’s one thing I know about Duganz at 23 it’s that my readership, while amused at my romantic life, doesn’t need constant updates…
Ah to hell with it…
I’m seeing someone. Yes, her name has appeared on the blog, but instead of just pointing you toward her name I think you should read through and find it on your own. Hint: It all started with a pig named Mortimina.
Today I did some more job searching after noticing that the masthead of the Indy still lists me as staff (I’m having trouble letting go myself). The job: postal worker. The benefits alone make it worthwhile, but add in the salary – $57,000 – and I start to care less and less about my degree. That kind of cash would help me pay my college debt off, and that’s a happy thought indeed.
Outside of that I put in time with the classifieds looking for jobs I’d like. The outcome? Not many. But I’m in no rush as of now. I’ve got a sizable check coming from Uncle Sam because of my loyal tax paying throughout the year, and that’ll keep me afloat for some time more.
Tonight while I watched John down some McDonald’s (known for its organic food) I caught a clip of Bill O’Reilly comparing the Huffington Post to Nazi-Germany propaganda…and I died a little inside. One of his readers felt outraged because they’d lost family to the Holocaust, and didn’t see the similarities. Oh, but Bill did.
“The blogs use the same tactics as the Nazis did,” he opined. I nearly vomited.
Apparently Bill took offense to a post stating that Nancy Reagan deserved a painful death. I haven’t bothered looking it up, nor will I because I don’t care enough to follow O’Reilly’s stupidity to its source.
While wishing Nancy Reagan a painful death seems a bit stupid, it’s nothing like Nazi propaganda, or hatred. Not even a little bit. Not one smidgen. Nope. None. Nothing. Nothing at all. And he’s an asshole for saying it is.
The Huffington Post isn’t trying to exterminate Nancy Reagan, or all people like Nancy Reagan. In fact, it’s merely the opinion of the author. But he doesn’t care about these “facts.” At all. God he annoys me.
Anyway, to wash that bad taste from my mouth I thought I’d bring up something that I like, the book The Little Prince.
I figure everyone’s read it, but if you haven’t this is a link to a free online version of the Katherine Woods translation, which I think is the best version. If you watched Bill O’Reilly’s foolishness I’d check this out to make yourself feel a little better.
As for me, I’m reading it to a girl. And that's a lot better than watching The O'Reilly Factor... Or John eat McDonald's.

Weekend: Days five and six
Well, I’ve already received on Facebook message about failing to update this blog yesterday, but I have an excuse. I got up with a bit of a headache (Bill and I went out Friday and, um…yeah). I sat around with John for a while drinking coffee and watching him play Resident Evil 4 until Sean and Tonya and Bill got up and we all went to Old Post for breakfast.
After that I played guitar until late into the afternoon before deciding to go to Cloverfield with my friend Tom. Just so you know, that movie rocks. You need to see it. My only complaint comes from the 9/11-symbolism that sort of sticks out as if to say, “Hey! Sept. 11 was bad, huh?! Feel bad about this too!” Luckily they get back to the monster and things improve.
Then we watched – and this is completely true – Christian TV programs. One show had to do with missionaries having car problems. The guy spoke in this overdramatic way about it as if he were saying things like, “There were no survivors,” but he was talking about a Subaru. Tom, his brother Karf and I all sat around mocking it until late when all of the primary and caucus numbers were in. Boring day actually.
I have an aside here: Tom and Karf are both Mormon so we had a long talk about how if Romney gets the Republican nod the amount of veiled Mormon hate spewing from TV meat puppets will be amazingly high. You think Lou Dobbs hates Latinos and Hispanics? Just you wait…
But anyway… that’s why I didn’t update yesterday. I had other things going on.
Today I’m watching football with a bunch of people and rooting against the Patriots. I can’t wait until hating these bastards becomes political issue. Imagine it. Bill O’Reilly will say things like, “Of course Hillary Clinton won’t be cheering for the Patriots because doing so would be raving for the flag and she is controlled by far-left elements who hate patriotism, families, puppies…and freedoms…and they love gays!”
The love gays part will be essential. He’ll have to add that in there if only because homosexuality must always be a divisive issue in his mind.
The only other news I have comes from 4 & 20 Blackbirds. They found me. I don’t know how, but they found me. (Run for it Marty!) So, welcome everyone. I hope you have a good time reading about my life. I only wonder who over there posted about me... they didn't use a byline, but apparently like my work. Thanks people. I like being liked (much better than hate).
