I thought of something a few minutes ago that made me smile and I wanted to share it.
The day we are rid of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney I am going to have a party and everyone is invited.
Whenever that day might be, and for whatever reason it occurs. I'm going to call off work, sit back and drink myself a beer. Or two. Or six.... It's been a l-o-n-g time since things have been good.
Actually, I'd say for me September 10th, 2001 was probably the last time I remember anything seeming good. The sky was crisp and clear, I was starting my first year of college. I was making friends, moving forward and starting on what was to me, the greatest accomplishment of my life. I wasn't happy about Bush, but I never felt fear like I did on September 11th knowing who was in charge and what that meant for my life from then on. I look back at September 10th and everything seemed so much clearer and brighter. Everything I remember since then has a cloud of hate and soot and greed clouding my memories. It's been a seemingly never ending Orwellian roller coaster filled with torture, lies, death, desperation and suffering. All that "9/11 changed everything" line repeated ad nauseum?
I agree.
It began the seemingly never ending world of suck that is now our beloved and fragile country.
And once they're gone....once it's finally ended..once that cloud is lifted and there is that first little ray of sunlight.....
I'm going to have a party.
I'll dance in the streets. Who cares what the neighbors say? I think the song I'll dance to will be Shake Your Rump, by the Beastie Boys. And I'm not much of a rump shaker, but there will be a valiant attempt made on my part to honor the rump shake. I promise. Then I am going to eat, drink and be merry. And everyone here is invited to join me.
Hell, as far as I'm concerned everyone in the world is invited. It's BYOB though ;)
Feel free to share your party plans.
Hey, you need something to smile at when the days are dark.
