I would really, really like it if my hands would stop hurting all the time.

That is all.

He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

-Albert Einstein

Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind… War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.

-John F. Kennedy

Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.

-Mark Twain, “The Mysterious Stranger”

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”

– Matt. 26:52

’nuff said.

Much to my dismay, I realized today that my hot tub is indeed leaking (you were right, K). The drain spigot has a slow leak. That’s one more thing wrong with it. The timer still doesn’t work, it trips off after running for X amount of hours, and the heating element barely warms that damn thing up. Top it all off with the fact that I hardly ever check the chemicals, and I’m really starting to wonder if I should just yank the fucking thing out of there.

Well…damn.

Something I just coded that I was quite unsure was going to work the way I wanted it to worked flawlessly the first time.

And there is nobody here to see my “Go Me!” dance.

Dancing puppets make me giggle.

Emote this

This is some funny shit.

I am officially uber depressed now.

I’m up another seven pounds.

Now the tricky part…to avoid depression based binge eating.

…is good news. I hope. Been about an hour and a half since I heard from her last.

Come on, universe. Let’s hit one for the home team. She’s taken enough shit recently, ok?
