and that I should be posting something either calming or oozing cuteness.

However, I stumbled upon this movie and there isn’t a damn thing cute about it. I need to see this and if you are an adult living in America, so do you:

In conclusion, AAAACK! I’m hoping that the exit of the Bush administration will at least start our country on the road to recovery. I’m not thrilled about who will most likely take his place, but meh - anything will be an improvement at this point. Yet history has shown us that our Democracy has been reduced to a series of broken promises followed by the misguided hope for someone else’s soon to be broken promises. I’m pretty sure that’s the definition of insanity.

In fact, it IS the definition of insane: Doing the same thing day in and day out and expecting a different outcome. See: hope.

Hope:
believing that a positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary.

Hope is a double edged sword laced with bi-polar mood swings. Just ask any lottery player. Yet, I personally can’t function without it. The human race doesn’t run on oil, it runs on hope. Human ingenuity is fueled by hope. And I’m not talking about wishful thinking, I’m talking about the promise of “Free Lobster Tomorrow” and “There Must Be a Better Way” kind of hope. I guess I’m crazy too, because I suffer from a severe case of it and I don’t see myself getting cured anytime soon.To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t want to be.

Hulu - Days of Summer

Alright, this widget is more for my benefit than anything else. My browser bookmarks have overfloweth with links and folders of links so I have decided to use my blog as a giant interactive notepad. Every day through mid-August, Hulu.com will add new content such as feature length movies and shows. And since I already have an unhealthy obsession with Hulu (oh why won’t you return my calls?), I copied their spiffy little widget to help me keep track of their new offerings. I’ve raved about their amazing patented video player and goobles of rich, user friendly features a few times before. Happy viewing!
