i finally found donnie darko for sale at hollywood video (the best video rental store around, give them business) for $10 so i'm buying that wednesday, hurray.

and on a darker note, alan, i don't think i can make it this weekend. i probably wouldn't be able to make it til saturday and then sunday afternoon late i'm having a very early thanksgiving dinner with some friends of ours who i haven't seen in a long time that i've been really wanting to see. it's my dad's friend Bob. Bob is so cool. he's the one i had like a two hour philosophy/religion debate with that time, as our family members sat idly by, it was so great. now this angers me, i haven't seen any of my friends in a very long time and i miss you very much, i have lazy daydreams of taking walks with you around the ucf campus, i don't know why, and i also love how there are no activities planned with friends for months and then all of a sudden they're all on one weekend. ; ) but i'll see you when you come down for christmas i guess, though i will be in tulsa from dec 22-31 it looks like, and i was really looking forward to a gainesville trip which i've been craving for a while.. i need to see jessica, and i need you and axel to see jessica's house.. which i don't even think she lives in anymore. i actually have no idea where she is now. she hasn't returned my email from a month ago. i need to use the telephone. and here you're finally having an alcohol-free party and i can not come.. it is all very sad. i'm sorry.

i took my family to see Bowling For Columbine last night, and it was great, and they liked it. i heard my dad sighing loudly a few times so i was worried he was getting annoyed with the obviously liberal agenda.. but i think michael moore has finally come across the right way to the public, not as this raging liberal trying to get conservatives and a bunch of democrats, but this guy representing the people, us, he does not have alterior motives, he is not running for political office (tho i wish he would, i'd love him to be president, tho he'd never get elected because he does not obey the corporate daddies and then the public would think he was trying to get into office the whole time, which he is obviously not) - he is fighting for the poor and the downtrodden, the misunderstood, the CHILDREN.. MICHAEL MOORE IS FOR THE CHILDREN. excuse me. jeb bush is for the children, my ass.. i can't wait to vote tomorrow. i'm not sure if i should not vote for all of those other candidates because i know nothing about them, or vote for the democrats so the republicans won't have a majority in the senate.. i do not know. i'm planning on voting on a few amendments too. i hope they have explanations on the ballots. do not blindly vote, people.

ok so dad saw this tender hearted fighter last night, and he has a lot of respect for him now and i think he finally gets why i'm always preaching mooreisms. best parts of the movie: matt stone's 3 minute animated version of the history of the U.S.. hilarious; mike's interview with james nichols, asking "why not do it the way gandhi did it, he didn't use violence and he beat the british empire" and nichols saying "...i'm not familiar with that."; couple minute montage of all the times the U.S. killed people around the world in the last hundred years - killing off democratically-elected leaders if they didn't conform to their agenda, replacing them with whomever they liked, taking out any dictator they felt like, countless thousands of civilian casualties along the way, bombing iraq every week since a decade ago. jesus. hundreds of thousands of civilians killed. why??; never-released footage of the shootings at columbine, surprisingly affecting. i was really shooken up by that. it didn't seem to affect me much when it actually happened, but seeing it all before you on security cameras.. kids just eating in the cafetera, just sitting in the library, and suddenly they're like trapped rats, scared little children huddling under tables, i couldn't imagine if that had happened to me in my school. it's an extremely disturbing movie. and it's very funny. you see it and you just want to talk about it. go see it.

Triumph of Love is a great movie. it just came out on video, it has mira sorvino and the greatest living actor, ben kingsley. it is so sexy and funny and great.

finally found out stat friend's name.. aneesha.. aneesha.. i'm going to forget that so i'm putting it here because you know how i read my own writing all the time and it'll remind me.

shamika... i've just met a girl named shamika.. - that goes along very well with the west side story song. time goes by so fast, goodbye.
