i've heard it said that there are two things friends should never talk about: religion, and politics.
for those who don't quite get it, the implied meaning is that nobody can ever discuss those topics without getting into a disagreement.
obviously, i think this isn't true. it's merely a saying, and should be taken with about as much a grain of salt as anything that starts with "confucious says....."
however, i can't deny that religion and politics are also inherently difficult to address when civil discussion is not a given. at any given moment, and perhaps now more than ever, the two have become an undeniable schism in society.
isreal palestine is perhaps the problem incarnate.
liberals vs. conservatives. has the divide ever been greater, and filled with such hatred? there's no longer such thing as middle political ground, and i don't think there's ever been such unwillingness to compromise. ever hear two people arguing about george bush and the war in iraq? it isn't pretty. i've never seen a president or political issue cause such heated and emotional divisions among people -- not to mention irrationale stupidity on both sides.
so.....obviously, religion and politics are both loaded subjects, often broached only with a great deal of tact. why is that?
what is it about these things that strike such a chord?
why don't we argue this much about....say....pepsi or coke? which basketball team is going to win it all? the greatest baseball player of all time? the funniest tv show ever? which country has the greatest artistic history? which era of architecture was the most influential?
all interesting conversations.
but religion or politics? those so easily degrade into editorial rantings.
why? i don't know. but it's something to ponder i guess.

be it ever so humble.....
ah, home at last. as much as it was nice to spend 7 straight days in the sun, it's nice to come home to some real weather, where you can actually tell it's another day because they sky looks a little different. that sun and fun stuff may be nice for some people, but i'll take four seasons in my year every time.
cruise was....fun. i don't think i gained any weight to be perfectly honest. goal accomplished. i am however, burned to kingdom come. i look like someone tried to microwave me for dinner.
oh well. i'm also a bit stuffed up, and even though i'm home, i still sort of feel dizzy -- as if i'm still walking on a boat. i suppose this might be what they mean when they talk about getting back your land legs after getting used to sea legs.
in OTHER news, it's official.
Gwyneth Paltrow is actually a fob.

in the bahamas
goodness it's hot.
once we have money, i definitely need to come back with friends. i can imagine it being like, just as fun. except like, 100 times moreso.
it's pretty good right now, and i'm with my family. so it MUST be good.

one fish two fish red fish blue fish
...Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo...
so, i will be spending most of next week floating around HERE, in a giant white symbol of western imperialism and capitalist glut.
not that i'm complaining.
my goal is simply to avoid boredom at all costs. i don't care what i have to do -- play shuffleboard with the old folks or scare the little children by being suspiciously friendly. also, i plan not to gain any weight on this cruise, as i've been told that what awaits me is essentially a hugenormous buffet that just so happens to be sea worthy.
tempting as it may be to eat and sleep all week, i refuse to let it happen. it'll be nice to catch up on reading though, so all in all, it'll be good times. hopefully they have free gym facilities open....i don't know, i'm too lazy to read about my ship.
it's called "the navigator of the sea"
what's up with that eh? here are some of the other ships in the royal caribbean fleet:
- the radiance of the sea
- the majesty of the sea
- the jewel of the sea
- the legend of the sea
- the empress of the sea
hmmmm.....ok.....
and so, instead of these things, we're on a ship called...."the navigator". that's cool. i guess.
i can't help but feel a little like perceptor from transformers.
everyone else was like, a helicopter, or a truck, or a race car, or a space ship, or a dinosaur.
what was perceptor? he turned into a microscope.
can you imagine when they drew lots and he got....microscope?
i imagine it went something like this:
"oook, perceptor....you're.....a microscope. next!"
"whoa whoa, wait a sec....a microscope? why would i be a microscope? what good would it possibly be for me to transform into a giant microscope? i suppose the irony of me being larger than a car isn't lost on you"
"everything else is taken"
"everything?!"
"well....i guess you could be the can opener"
"an electric can opener?"
"lemme check.....um....no,no...just a normal can opener."
"oh.....well in that case, i guess i'll stick with the microscope"
"sounds like a plan"
"..."
".....soo....you going to the bar later"
"yea, i hear it's ultra magnus' birthday"
"ohhhh yea.....damn. you wanna go halvsies on a gift?"
"i dunno....i think blur mentioned something about an ice cream maker....."
"did you say you'd chip in"
"yeaa....but i'm not sure if he actually bought it..."
"you could always ask him"
"yea, i could.....do you have his number?"
"here, wait....it's on my cell phone..."
aaaaaaand i'll spare you rest of the tedious details.
