can somebody tell me

why anyone pays attention to paris hilton or finds her entertaining? every time i see her she just seems ignorant, self-absorbed, materialistic and like an all around bad person. i don't care how much money her father has or how 'great' her sense of style is (cause if you ask me, she looks like a 10 cent hooker), she has done nothing in her life to merit the level of attention she gets. i think she's a sign of what's wrong with our culture. in fact, she doesn't even deserve this little post.

so to make sure this isn't a complete waste: it makes me laugh when celebrities/politicians/the local crazy man on the corner say they just want people to get out and vote. of course they don't really mean that. what they mean to say is 'please go vote for my guy. if you're gonna vote for the other guy, just stay home and do us all a favor.' the other thing that's silly about the entire focus of this election is that most people are ignoring congressional races. this country is run by a lot more than just a president. so do everyone a favor and learn about all your future representatives. and yes, i really do mean that.

to end on a more positive note, another story. last weekend mike and i were driving on the tollway. a car we were passing was noticably lower on the driver's side. i pointed this out to mike and said i wondered what was wrong with it. his response was 'it has a bad left side'. whoaa there buddy. slow down with your high tech automotive jargon.
