:: Random Thoughts ::

Just a collection of random thoughts that have been circulating my mind today:

Today I said the last of my goodbyes to a couple of friends who are still in town but I don't feel like I'm going to miss any of them since I'll see them again in a little over two weeks.

I still can't believe the year is almost over.

The White House must be ecstatic at Hussein's capture since it will, to many people's eyes, give sense of accomplishment and success to this misbegotten war. Whereas Howard Dean must be thinking "s#!t, s#!t, s#!t!"

As long as we're on this topic, just how did President Bush convince everyone that capturing Osama Bin Laden - the Guy behind the 9/11 attacks - by invading Iraq was a good idea?

Last thought on this topic: Freeing the people of Iraq from a psychotic tyrant is a great thing BUT in the end, is it justified when the heart, reasoning, and mindset behind this war was at best, specious?

This connection at Starbucks is slow... like, 28.8 dialup slow.

My Faith during my stay in Florida has wavered between neglectful and need-based and yet... I still haven't been hit by lightening. Cool.

I still can't believe the 49ers lost to the Bengals.

On my first full day back in California, I am going to drive. A lot.

And I'm probably going to stop at a few In 'n Outs.

It's going to be nice to see the sun *setting* over the ocean again. Assuming the marine layer clears up while I'm there.

Seriously, I'm gonna do a lot of driving.

One possible reason for wanting to stay here longer is that my brand of humor is better received here than back in L.A. It seems irony and deadpan deliveries is an East Coast thing. My arcane references still remain an acquired taste, however.

For example, a group of friends and I were discussing what exactly investigators found while scouring Micheal Jackson's ranch. I said "any truth to the rumor that they found J.D. Salinger there?" Now, I thought it was incredibly clever on my part but, I kid you not, one could have heard radio signals from space the room got so quiet.

Did I mention that I really miss having a car?
