die liver...DIE, DIE!!!

you non-enzyme-producing fuck!!!

i'm tryin' to drink away the part of the day that i can't sleep away...

yeah, that's right. fuck my liver. as most of you probably know i am plagued with the genetic disorder of PKU (phenylketonuria). a birth "defect" in which the liver is unable to produce the enzyme that breaks down the amino acid phenylalanine(sp). it's one of the basic 20. at any rate, i was watching "super size me" today. and WOW, i'm not gonna eat Mcdonalds for quite the long time. but, i'm once again mad at my liver for being less than what i need to function as a "normal" person. crazy how all i need is for my liver to produce one little enzyme to allow me to eat like the majority of the world. i'm not suffering, so no big deal.

tonight i finally got my mom to watch "bowling for columbine". it was great. she and i talked through most of it, but it was all on topic and it was all good. at one point i told her that "soon my generation will be in control..."
"and then what?" is what she responded with.

to be fair, i don't know what will happen next. i hope we'll have a window of peace, but who knows? i just think that our generation is gonna make a lot of good changes happen. hopefully we won't go too overboard and step on everyones' toes to get what we want like this last generation has done, but there are no promises. i realize that. i have faith in us though, we are much smarter than many generations before and we've seen a lot of the bad that can come out of the over-righteous public. so, hopefully, we can overcome that and make some really good changes come about.

of course, i say most of this after drinking about 6 beers in a row without eating very much. gotta love pyramid snow cap. it's hoppy, but very good.

i'm still hopeful for the future. i think that with people like jen in law school, we've got a good crop of people in line to set america straight. people who are liberal, but are not totally crazy either...people that are ready to look out for other people...not stiffle them with lame-assed laws that are made to keep homophobic, gun-toting, self-righteous, middle-americans feeling safe and warm in their hate mongering section of the country, while they keep consuming crap that they don't need from corperate america.

okay, my drunken ass is done.

i leave you all with this quote from dr. seuss, who's birthday was this last wednesday.

"unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot...nothing is going to get better it's not."

written so long ago...but it still makes so much sense...
