I took the plunge today and went to go see Fahrenheit 911. I did it mostly out of curiosity and because I enjoy talking politics with my old pal Ed(he went with me). The documentary was very compelling and disturbing. I have never liked Bush but I couldn't exactly put my finger on why. Call it a gut feeling about the man. If half of what is laid out in this movie is correct then I think I can safely say that Bush is one of the most corrupt and evil men to ever serve in the White House. Never underestimate the power of mundane greed.
"When a man lies, he murders some part of the world"
Never has this statement been more true.

We went and saw Spiderman 2 for the second time today. Great movie!! Much better than the first one(which is rare for a sequel in my opinion). The main theme seems to be one dealing with his secrets and facing his past demons. Another reason I think I enjoyed it so well is that it suprised me.
In other news, I have the itch to get a job and get myself out of the house and being productive. Our main problem is though that the kids are all home for the summer. We have no one who can watch them for us, and the price of daycare is totally out of the question. If my older daughters were a bit more responsible it could work but they aren't so I'm stuck counting the days until the end of summer.
However, I think we might have a solution to our woes. The wife and I are planning on attending school full time in the Fall and are in the process of applying for student grants. With careful thought and some math we realized that we could use the money to not only go to school by start our business. We want to work for ourselves so bad we can taste it. And in my humble opinion struggling with a biz of my own is much better than working for some boss. Besides, no one ever got rich working for someone else.

We planted our garden yesterday. I know it is late in the season but we decided to do it anyway and hope for an indian summer. We have a row of corn, red onions, carrots, and tomatoes. In a couple of days I will plant some potatoes, watermelon, and pumpkins. It is nice to feel the dirt and work it for our benefit. In a jeffersonian way I have always admired farming.
I applied for a job today with the local temp agency. I may have mentioned before that the job is with the local cable access station. With my background in radio/public relations it is right up my alley. The best part is that the job is flexible to allow me to go back to school this Fall. Oh, by the way even though it is with a temp agency, the job is permenant.
In other news, I bought something from Bubba the other day that will add an interesting bit of spice to my life. It is a very nice paintball gun. He sold it to me because he found a local place that sold him a marker he has wanted for quite some time. Anyway, we started asking around and found several people who want to have a great big shoot-out in a couple weeks. When I was a kid we had BB gun wars. It'll be interesting to see how different this might be.
