sometimes i feel like this world is too big. I want a small government. I feel like big government is good because it has the most resources to take care of the large problems of the people, but it seems like all the government does is what big bad governments do.... start epic and shameful wars and make its people feel too far away from the action that they dont think they can do anything about it, lost in the bureaucracy of the large nation. The people of this country need to get off their knees.

My Baby Just Cares For Me!

My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby dont care for cars and races
My baby dont care for high-toned places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
is something he can't see.
My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me.

I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for,
He just says his prayers for,
My baby just cares for me.
(right now im listening to the Nina Simone version)

Yes I'm in a pretty good mood. The semester is just beginning and everything seems so right. I'm going to graduate in May, so my worries are few. My classes for this semester are so solid and interesting. I can't imagine walking any other path. I like having a bookshelf filled with promises. I like having my own art on my walls, and a beautiful fluffy bedspread covered in a colorful patchwork of flowers. I like having such a good friend so close by, someone so good to me to share the oddities and realities and quaintities of college life with. (I tried to avoid that prepositional phrasing but it woulda been guh.)

So things are good. Very good. And on top of everything, my baby just cares for me. I'm going to see my dear friend ali this weekend to celebrate her 21st bday in west virginia along with some of my closest friends, it should be amazing, and I was instrumental in planning it.

Jim is back home, so I see him a lot more now (though that doesnt say alot, haha) and danny seems to be really enjoying college, so i can only imagine life being better if he was at rutgers. haha. so thats that. la bella vita!
