A-holeality.
It really irks me to come across individuals who think so highly of themselves to the point of letting that belief go from intro to extro and finding the need to display it like some cheap two-piece tea set.
Modesty isn’t a lost cause.
“
When you suspend habeas corpus, which has been a principle dating before even our country — it’s the foundation of Anglo American law, which says very simply, if the government grabs you, then you have the right to at least ask, ‘Why was I grabbed?’ and say, ‘Maybe you’ve got the wrong person.’ The reason you have that safeguard is because we don’t always have the right person. We don’t always catch the right person.
We may think this is Mohammed the terrorist. It might be Mohammed the cab driver. You may think it’s Barack the bomb thrower. But it might be Barack the guy running for president. So the reason that you have this principle is not to be soft on terrorism. It’s because that’s who we are. That’s what we’re protecting. Don’t mock the Constitution. Don’t make fun of it. Don’t suggest that it’s unAmerican to abide by what the Founding fathers set up. It’s worked pretty well for over 200 years.
As Conor Friedersdorf at the Atlantic said, “What happened to that guy?”
As a voter who prioritizes civil liberties, I cannot in good conscience vote for Barack Obama in November.
Why? The man who ran in 2008 is not the President we received.

Mixed Signals.
You are the most confusing person I have ever met. It’s frustrating, but I guess it really doesn’t matter because I’m going to be out of this town in 5 months. So what’s the point of even starting anything? In the end it probably wont work out. Nothing ever does. I’m starting to accept that.
Graduate - Third Eye Blind
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I look at faces that I meet
Can I get my punk-ass off the street
I’ve been living on for so long
(Can I Graduate)
To the bastard talking down to me
Your whipping boy calamity
Cross your fingers, I’m going to knock it all down
(Can I Graduate)
Echo fading, We can’t let go
She goes walking by in slow-mo’
Sell your Heart out for a buck
Go on, Fade out, Before I get stuck
Talking to somebody like you
Do you live the days you go through
Will this song live on long after we do
(Can I Graduate)
Can I look at faces that I meet
Can I get my punk-ass off the street
Won’t die on the vine. I wanna knock it all down
(Can I Graduate)
Echo fading, candle blow
Did you flash out long ago
Cross my fingers, I don’t know
Someone poked you down below
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I Graduate
Can I get my punk-ass off the street
Can I look at faces that I meet
I’m not waiting here for you to fly (I mind)
Will this song live on long after we do (I mind)
