Heat-Inspired Entry

I'm feeling a bit blah, lately. Uninspired. Of course, having a painful ankle, a mysterious stomach ache and a cold might have something to do with the fact that my brain is on strike right now.

So. Joe Biden, huh? An old white guy. [sarcasm]That's a change. [/sarcasm] Okay, sorry, I'm not an American, pretend I didn't write anything.

Speaking of elections, I can really tell that there is going to be one next year on my sweet little island. I love campaigns, in general, I think they can be really fun. (Go ahead, you can say 'freak'.) But ugh, the propaganda articles that are being put forth. They're all pretending like their party is the second coming and the other party is evil incarnate, out to destroy us all. You'd think by now that they would find something more original. One opposition leader wrote a book, titling it "I'm Just Doing My Duty". I'm sure that earning that salary is a real test of duty. Okay, that was bitchy, but come on. That title just makes me think the book is going to be one long protracted pat on the author's back. With him doing the patting. Painful, that.
Also, I'm not sure how much that happens in the States (or elsewehere), but here the propaganda machine of each party can go back for like, TWENTY years. Also, dead leaders are very popular. I mean, really. At some point you gotta figure that it should be a good thing to let the dead rest in peace. But nope, not here. At least not if you were a politician and died young. Then you're going to be referenced over and over again. Sometimes I think there should be a ban against all print, tv and radio ads and just let the people decide. But that's undemocratic. Happy happy joy joy.

Boy, I'm a party pooper tonight, huh?

I think it's because of all this heat. (Convenient excuse, huh?) It's just so horrible these last few weeks. I'm seeing some rain coming on the weather channel website. Let me rephrase. If we don't get rain because of this wave, will never get rain ever again. Because there is no way it could miss us. Of course, now I've just jinxed this entire island. I guess perhaps I should just shut up and go to bed. Before I say that we're never going to be hit by meteors or something.
