yeah...extreme makeover home edition is on tonight!

so...that new part of my blog title is a quote i found on someone's blog, and i liked it, so...here it is...it's very true, isn't it?...good will prevail, eventually...if we all could take after gandhi's example of peace, that would change the world, wouldn't it?...but not everyone is of the same mindset, so that won't happen...all i can do is do my best each day to build people up instead of breaking them down...i do try to do that...

by the way, i am totally confused as far as what week this is...um, i am a week ahead of schedule...obviously, world aids day is wednesday, december 1...duh...

there are many things in this world which sadden and confuse me...aids...alzheimers...mental illness...all are personally so sad to me, not just the devestation of the illnesses, but the stigma against them, especially aids and mental illness...get over it, people...ok, i am going to stop now, or this will turn into one of my pre-election rants...i just have a real problem with people who consider aids a "cure", and think that those with mental illness are somehow "weird" or "different"...don't get me started...oh, i already am started?...ok, somebody stop me...

tomorrow i work in that sort of challenging class, but i am ready for the challenge...bring it on!

i am still trying to finish harry potter and the goblet of fire...still need to see movies 2 and 3 of that series...movies that look interesting are: sideways (have heard excellent things about it) and return to neverland (with johnny depp)...maybe during christmas i will actually go to the theater (!) and see a movie (!)...

it has been possibly three months since i have viewed any of the lord of the rings movies...something is seriously wrong with me...i guess i needed a break, since i have seen each of them at least 10 times, and read each book, including the hobbit...

again i am distracting myself from a difficult world situation by discussing really unimportant mundane trivial subjects...i just can't focus on what is happening in the war and what is happening just everyday and i hear it on the news and i just can't go there right now...each day goes by and the skies are dark earlier and earlier...but i am not ruled by depression as in years past...sadness is now merely sadness, boredom is boredom, anger is anger...i no longer allow a diagnsis to take the blame for my choices, and it has been freeing...

this blog entry has been rather rambling, but hey, it says in my blog title that there may be rambling involved, so...you were warned!

ok, i am done...until next time...
