"Income inequality" is a neoliberal euphemism for "unjust distribution of wealth".

Realizing how happy I am these days, and also how my cares and worries have evolved, I can't help but think back to the times when I was single and mired in desolation.

I didn't want to threadjack, but it's crazy how a song will just take me back into the recesses of my memory (although the version that I have in my head is the inferior remake by INOJ¹.) It reminds me of the summer I went on an East Coast trip with my parents and siblings, from NYC to northern Virginia. It was definitely a time when the world was still rife with possibility, and I still remember hoping for something dear that never came to fruition.

The blogosphere is a-twitter with Barack's unlooked-for win in Iowa last night. Obama may not be as progressive as Edwards, and on certain positions he is definitely to the right of where I stand, but symbolically speaking, he is ideal.

Incidentally, I found the HHGttG quote on this site.

Random thoughts on this Feast of the Epiphany:

My mind is obviously on another planet right now. The wonderful world of tyramine and other sympathomimetics. Michelle and Rodel broke up!

I think that, around the age of 19, you sort of start to realize that you are dying. The foolish will simply deny and ignore this realization. The wise will accept it as fact, and then ignore it, as it is irrelevant. The insane, however, will try to do something about it.
