The Tuesday that defied all myths..

Has anyone ever heard of Black Uhuru? They're a reggae group, and they sing a nice ditty called "Mondays". It goes kind of like this.. "One day I don't enjoy... is a Mondayyy". Well, if I were Black Uhuru I would've written the song about Tuesdays. Tuesday is a day I most definitely do not enjoy. French and Math on Tuesdays.. no Gym or Film.. nothing to do in the evening, that sort of thing. Buuut. Lately my Tuesdays have been getting better and better. Next Tuesday, I'm skipping a day of school to run one race at the track meet, and hang around for the rest of the time. Today I got kicked out of math for being "sassy" and spent the entire time drawing patterns with sharpie on a piece of paper. Now, in my view that's a good thing. Mainly because of the absence of maths. Now, another great thing about today is the rain. It is currently raining outside my window, which makes everything look grey and green and drippy. A wonderful thing for someone who lives in a cold-and-dry-as-hell climate. The most exciting thing about Tuesday was probably getting my email read on "The Hour". Now, I admit to have an ounce too many blogs right now on The Hour, but I couldn't miss a brief mention of the show. Or perhaps a paragraph. A little paragraph..

(the little paragraph)
So, I recently had a blog beautifully entitled "Why I wouldn't be caught dead getting shoved into that Panel Van or having my email read on The Hour". It was mainly about.. why I wouldn't be caught dead getting shoved into that Panel Van or having my email read on The Hour. So, I got a very encouraging reply from Barbara, which made me think about having a go at sending an email. So after hearing about Neil Young's "Let's Impeach the President" song, I thought I came up with an adequate reply. And Strombo read it!! I was very happy about this, and ran upstairs to my father, blathering about it (although he probably couldn't understand). Anyways;; I was extremely ecstatic about this (you should've seen me). But I do feel the need to explain the email in greater depth.
(wasn't it cute?)

Now, I would really love to "impeach that cat", almost as much as Neil Young does. But pessimistic (and possibly realistically) I don't think anything would happen to send Dubyah out of office. George Bush is definitely not Nixon-ly scandalous. There are so many people who believe every single word that comes out of his mouth, therefore they have reasoning not to believe the evidence against him. These are the people who voted for him. George Bush's deception is much more subtle in my belief, even after the evidence has been presented. There is nothing obvious enough to scream out "Impeach him". Although I am not saying I agree with what he has done, and I am definitely not taking it lightly. There are too many powerful conservatives in America that this would have to pass through, which to me makes impeachment seem out of the question. Never less, I owe it to Neil Young for singing about what he believes in, and perhaps opening some eyes to the injustice of George W. Bush.

Well, now it's sunny and raining, which is just adding to the greatness of this Tuesday.

merci beaucoup bon soir.

Neil Young's "Living with War" is now on sale at most music stores.
