Ok, now that I've gotten myself completely depressed about the state of the Union, I think I should find something more happy to talk about. I expect some nasty responses from some Bush-supporters on my ramble-rant, so I need something to brace myself against the expected attacks. Let's see... happy thoughts...
Um, bunny rabbits! They are happy. Cute. Singing "Peter Cottontail" in unison... that must have been an ad. I also liked the bunny ad where the guy was checking ID and the bunnies kept multiplying. Yeah. Bunnies are happy thoughts...
Um... er... flowers! Yeah, I like daffodils and buttercups. Even dandylions have their charms. We have some really pretty purple blossoms in our back yard. In the places that aren't covered by creeping blackberry bushes and ivy...
Oh right. Happy thoughts. Ok... let's see... puppies! Except when they nip painfully, piddle all over the floor, and get sick. Right. So... kittens! Except they have most of the same problems, and they grow up to be lazy and anti-social cats.
Uh. Happy thoughts. Happy happy, joy joy. I like music, that's happy! Of course, most of my favorite songs are depressing ballads. Or, as filkers call it, "Ose" (from ose, ose and morose!). They aren't terribly happy.
Uh, how about books! Yeah, I like books! Unless they get fried from the inside by someone microwaving them. And I don't like boring books much. And I don't often get in the mood to really read. The last couple of weeks I was in the mood, and read a whole bunch of books all at once. But when I'm not in the mood to read novels, books are more frustrating than fun.
Oh my. I'm having trouble staying happy. Let's see... what other things are happy... Uh, brown paper packages tied up with string! Except they might have bombs or anthrax in them nowadays... Gah! This is useless!
Oh well. What I'm hoping for in a response to my essay on why I think Bush has failed as president is a nice counter-essay from a Bush supporter that gives four or five points on which Bush has suceeded, so I can see that it's not all doom and gloom.
