with a splash

definitely overdid it yesterday. i felt horrible the whole morning.

the poor girls walking ahead of me took the brunt of the mud flying past - every morning it rains it's the same thing, the bastards on their way in to the base are in such a hurry to sit in the queue (and it's a single lane, so no overtaking) that they splash everyone on the pavement.

i've finally had to face one of my secondary job functions ("useful" tool incorporation), and it really sucks. nobody else (well, aside from two or three masochists) wants anything to do with it, and i feel the constant need to apologize to everyone it affects.

as for actual work - there's nothing worse than finally solving a problem, implementing the solution, registering that it's not the correct solution and having to leave it until the next day.

someone really got to me today - he's been aggressively pushing the notion that inheritance should be limited. it's an absurd suggestion that goes against the grain of what makes us tick as a species - continuity - and in addition i find it worrying that after a hundred years of learning economic lessons the hard way (think communism and american wheat industry, social security and other fun stuff) people still try to find "better" solutions over a free market and everything that goes with it.

and this ties in neatly to my [here he goes again] position on the amount of control your government had over you, your belongings and your rights, especially when most democratic countries have political systems that are either impotent or corrupt, or both, and the lifeless or sneaky in charge aren't qualified to make decisions regarding their own little universes.

whatever happened to the concept of the government serving its people? or is the vast majority comprised of people who are totally satisfied with the state their world is in?

i got home late, changed and paid chubbyz a visit with a friend i used to work with, and after a chilled walk home dwelling on being myself in spite of the impracticality , and with unclear "i've had a tad too much to drink" eyes, i'm hitting the shower and getting some shut-eye: i get up late tomorrow and i plan on enjoying it :)

homosexual blood donation - an interesting look at an issue that's been bugging me for ages.
