Insert Howard Zinn quote here.

Sooo whats up on this fine Friday night, I was busy all day setting up a trampoline for my bratty nephew. So i didn't have time to write this today. I wrote something last night around 2 in the morning but I erased it because I was drunk and it really didn't make sense. Anywho last night got kinda wild. Went to the bar by myself, met some friends and got really hammered. Might go out to Scottsdale tonight, not really sure yet. But last night was fucking fun. Larry almost got in a fight that I started, my buddy Matt got super drunk and said vulgar things to girls and we all laughed about it. My friend Keaty and I got cheese bread at Hungry Howie's and ate in the park. Then I passed out, woke up to the kid wanting to play. My Dad bought him a trampoline, so I spent all day putting it together. Read some comic books, watched Supernatural(best show on TV) and now I'm typing this. What a charmed fucking life I live. Ain't gonna be too charmed soon though. Today was the last of my severance money so I'm gonna have to chill with the going out all the time. Fucking been a great little vacation though.

So yesterday the world lost a great man. Howard Zinn died yesterday. I can honestly say that his book, The People History of The United States of America, really changed my outlook on my life, politics, religion and just my over all view of this country. I saw a interview with him and he talked about how when he served in WW2 he had to bomb a little French town, it was after the war was over and there were German solders just waiting out the end of the war. There were also French civilians too. But they bombed the town and that helped what shaped him into the man he became. I mostly read his work he did with a magazine called The Progressive, in my younger more idealistic days, I was all wrapped up into the politics. And Zinn he did a column in The Progressive and thats where I would read him the most. Howard Zinn was a great man and will be missed by a lot of people, I'm glad he wrote and did the things he did for this country, even though most didn't like what he was doing.

Ok so thats that, what now? Not really sure that last paragraph was a bummer, think I'll just end it with this. So have a good weekend everyone, see ya next week. Peace.
