And another productive day in the books.

[silveradept]

Made money today. Need to find alternate sources of funding soon, though. Also read some manga today. Yotsubato looks like it's going to be madcap. More of Chrono Crusade read as well. Tomorrow, perhaps, I see a movie. Maybe after that, I'll see another, since the previews for Batman Begins actually make it look like a movie worth seeing (Unlike War of the Worlds - sorry, I read the book. Characterizations are already way off). This depends on what funds I garner and/or spend for the next week or two.

I did draw today, but none of the stuff that I drew will be making it to the site - it's all copy-drawing and done just as an experiment. I seem to be having trouble capturing facial expressions right sometimes. Although I was rather impressed that I didn't bite things hardcore when trying to sketch out a relatively complicated scene in about ten minutes. There were screwups, mostly in arms and hands (claws, really), but considering how I was on time, it turned out okay.

Digital photography is wonderful technology. It's getting to the point where film developers are refusing to develop pictures because they fear they might be copyrighted by people other than the person who's asking for processing.

And I fear that saying this will plant me firmly in the crosshairs of most conservatives from here on out (after all, "liberal" is a tag that haunts you forever), but... Bill O'Reily is a whiner. His ten-year-old mindset when it comes to politics made it very difficult, but very amusing, to watch him make a tirade out of very little, indeed. I watched about thirty seconds of his show as I was waiting for another to come back, and they were discussing the Texas "sexy cheerleaders" law, and he badgered until he got his way, all while trying to disguise it as "being fair". This must be why I don't watch Faux News. Actually, I don't watch a lot of news anymore. If it's important, it'll get to me. Somehow.

But there, I've admitted it. As much as I've tried hard to be neutral, I guess I have to admit it - I'm a liberal because I think Bill O'Reily, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney are chowderheads and infant-brains. Perhaps in a few years, when I'm older, they'll let me back in to being a centrist, but for now, I'm out in left field - may as well enjoy it. See you all tomorrow from the Left. I assume that my copy of the Homosexual Agenda (and any others that I've been subscribed to) will be in my mailbox tomorrow.

On the subject of Bush and being liberal...

[hauntermooneyes.livejournal.com]

Ah, but it's very hard not to admit that they are chowderheads and infant-brains, ne? Because they are. ^-^

I don't know how left I am, but I can tell you this much: I think Bush and his Minions (Cheney and O'Reily, respectively) are idiots. Their brains, IMO, are one-celled and reserved primarily for bodily functions. I very much support same-sex marriage (partly because I AM homosexual, partly because preventing anyone from marrying someone they love is cruel. Marriage is one of the best ways that you can show you lvoe someone--it's stating that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. 'Till death do we part,' after all). I think that this mundane war we have was--and still is--a bad idea. We have not helped Iraq very much. We have brought devastation to a country that was already ruled by a dictator. Why, I ask you, did we go and blow up a place we're trying to 'save?'

I don't, however, really have that much of a view on a lot of the other controversies. For instance, abortion. It is the woman's choice to abort her child, and while I doubt I would support that choice if someone told me they were going to do it, I would not hold it against said woman--nor would I degrade her for it.

Either way--welcome to Liberality. XD

Somewhere buried in my journal are my thoughts about the institution of marriage, the wars on Iraq, the matter of reproductive choice and all that. If you look at it, I'm probably in agreement with most true Lefties. So I suppose I've always been a closet Liberal, trying hard to appear like a moderate just so that I don't get howling masses at my door.

I'm pretty sure the howling masses will be there any moment now.

One moment, I have to go beat mine back with a large, spiky staff...

The problem is, you are moderate. You're not claiming that the state must be dismanteled and distributed to the people.(not loudly anyway) You're not screeching that there should be NO intellectual rights or that logging is destroying the world or anything.

That's what I mean, the looney's are so far right that someone who is maybe just a little left of center looks to be in Lefty lala land.

Re: On the subject of Bush and being liberal...

True. Of course, there is something to be said about not really wasting one's breath. I might be farther Left than the moderate position... if I thought that there would be an audience receptive to those kinds of ideas. That climate does not exist and is actively being shot at.
