i've got something to say

i have a lot of stuff going through my brain right now. here are the highlights.

on Obama's position on Iran:
can i get a "hell yeah"? finally, a president who understands that the US doesn't need to stick its nose in everything! interfering in Iran would be a huge mistake. the clerics will look for any excuse to throw the blame on someone else. it needs to be abundantly clear that they are the problem, not western influence.

but of course, there are politicians and pundits out there who are blasting the president for not taking action, most notably John McCain. these people clearly have no idea what they're talking about. they could care less about Iran! at this point, John McCain and his posse just wait for the president to say something so they can say the opposite. they are so self absorbed that they don't seem to understand that Iran's revolution actually doesn't have anything to do with them. why should anyone listen to John McCain anyway? remember this: Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran?
Obama did finally cave into the pressure, though. speaking out, he condemned the actions of the Iranian government. and guess what happened? Ahmadinejad immediately called him a meddler and compared him to Bush. didn't see that one coming...oh wait, yes i did. i'm actually okay with it, though. the important thing is that he stands by his decision to not intervene.

it's hard to turn a blind eye on the awful things happening in Iran right now. the videos posted by brave Iranians show their awful treatment at the hands of the Basij; mysterious burning liquids are being poured out of helicopters, people are being beaten, killed, and refused funerals. they aren't even safe in the hospitals. i'm absolutely disgusted by the governments actions. They are constantly twisting stories in an attempt to manipulate the people and cover their own asses. they even try to blame the victims of violence for their own murders! in order to stop Neda, a young girl who was killed early on, from becoming a martyr they claimed that she was shot on accident because they had information that she was or was aiding a terrorist! people didn't buy that load of bullshit so now she has become a symbol for the protesters.

i think if there is going to be interference in Iran, it needs to come from the world, not one country. i don't understand why America considers itself the moral leader of the world. it's an arrogant assumption to make and i'm sure other countries don't appreciate that. what's the UN for anyway?

RIP Michael Jackson
his death still hasn't sunk in, yet. it's just really wierd. i was SO obsessed with MJ as a kid, but then again who wasn't? michael was a total badass.

if you didn't think this was cool when you were little, you're lying

the first thing my brain did upon hearing the news was to immediately reject it. i wanted to believe that it was a publicity stunt. even now that it's been confirmed, his death is hard to accept. i feel like i should have expected it, though. throughout history, legendary talents have died too soon.

in other news...i have a huge boner for my car.
the batmobile is back. since i made my car look like crap with my terrible driving and the insurance offers accident forgiveness, we finally got it fixed. it looks unbelievable! in honor of my car's rebirth i'm rechristening it the starship batmobile.

"forgive your enemies, but never forget their names." --JFK
i've been collecting a lot of enemies lately. here's a list of people who need to watch their back, even though i don't actually have the balls to do anything...

Tina's Shit List:

Alyssa Roe--my first enemy from kindergarten. i haven't forgotten you, bitch.
the Supreme Leader
Stephenie Meyer
Brentwood Library
Fox News
Yankee Candle Co
Bugs
Diet Tina
Geo Metro Drivers

there will definitely be more to come. i'll keep you posted. also, if anyone actually reads this stupid thing, who's your worst enemy? just curious.

will work for work

job hunting is the most annoying thing EVER. i feel like i've been searching for months! although, i think it's only been a little over a week. After applying at Barnes & Noble cafe, Yankee Candle, the Disney Store, Puffy Muffin, Stein Mart, Macy's, Target, and like five other places (even Talbots for god's sake!) i've only managed to get two interviews! By the way Yankee Candle Co can go suck a bag of dicks! i don't want to sell their overpriced wax turds anyway. and you know what else Yankee? i LIED about your store smelling nice! i actually think it smells like vomit and potpourri casserole! so fuck you! you've made a new enemy.

this whole job quest has disturbed me quite a bit. since i'm in college and supported by my family, for the time being, me not having a job isn't that big of a deal. what happens after? if my current state of frenzy is any indication of the future then i'm screwed. i might as well start picking out a box to live in because GOD DAMNIT if i'm going to be a homeless person then i want the fanciest box in the shanty town.
