The subject was supposed to say "phone" at the end. Longest subject line ever haha.

So, I'm using the LJUBLJANA (I just left that to show you what my phone's autocorrect changed "LJ" to. Lol wtf?) Anyway, I'm using my phone and this stupid app because I can't wear my contacts and without them I can't see my computer screen unless I lean over with my face right by the screen haha. I'm pretty much blind without my contacts. I had a pair of glasses I wore around the house sometimes, but I stepped on them and broke them a few months ago and I keep forgetting to make an eye appointment and get new ones. For those of you who know contact prescriptions, mine is -4.75 in my left eye and -4.50 in my right. So yeah, I'm pretty fucking blind. I can't wear my contacts because I irritated the hell out of my eyes yesterday and they're way swollen and red and grosser today. I tried wearing my contacts three times today, but it never lasted more than half an hour because they would make my eyes bug me even more. So I have had them out for like seven hours or something now. That means I've been blind for a long time. So what I can do is even MORE limited...so I have been playing with my phone pretty much all night. That and sitting here eating chocolate and doing nothing.

Wow, that was a really long explanation for why I'm using my phone instead of the computer lol. Damn. ADD + pain meds I guess.

I don't really even have anything to write about. But of course I couldn't sit here being blind all night without my little Internet friends haha. Speaking of which, Jenny looked over a minute ago and saw that I was on here and was like, "Oh God, baby, of course you can't go one night without talking to your little Internet friends. You're such a dork." Haha. She's just jealous.

Gotta love technology...we're in bed next to each other playing with our phones haha. Plus the TV is on. Clearly we're very connected right now. We are about to watch Friends. Well, Jenny is going to watch it...I'm going to listen to it because I can't fucking see. That's ok though. Jenny just asked me what I was writing about and I said, "I'm writing about how I'm doing nothing and I'm blind and about to listen to Friends because I can't see to watch it." She was like, "that's seriously what you're writing about?" Instead of answering I scrolled up and showed her the beginning of this paragraph. She glanced at it for like one second then laughed and said, "That's fascinating. I'm sure your little internet friends are on the edge of their seats. I can see why you had to get on there and write about it right away." She said it sarcastically, obviously. Then she said she couldn't wait for the book. She's as big of a smart ass as I am lol.

This really is one of the stupidest, most boring entries I think I've ever written hahaha.

Chanandler Bong! "Actually, it's Miss Chanandler Bong." Hahaha I love that. See? I don't have to be able to see it to enjoy it haha. Well, I can kind of see it...their faces are just kinda blobs and everything in the background is a blur.

Oh, something with a point! For some reason I wrote that my brother is getting married at the end of the month. I meant to say next month. Thank God it's not the end of this month, since this month is almost over. If the wedding was in a few days that would be a disaster. I'm the best man, and I'd be stumbling all over the place. Not to mention I'd be hopped up on painkillers and give an incoherent ramble of a speech that wouldn't make sense and no one would be able to follow it lol. So yeah...thankfully it's a month from now.

I can't really tell how long this is since I'm on my phone, but I'm sure it's really fucking long haha. So sorry about taking up a bunch of space with mostly mindless rambling. Two or three minutes ago Jenny was like, "Are you STILL writing that same nail-biter of an entry?" Lol. I told her yes and to shut up, or else. She asked "or else what?" and I decided to be really gross and said, "or else I'll squeeze pus out of my staph-infested incision and wipe it on your face. THEN I'd have something more interesting to write about." She said, "That is so gross. But yes, that would definitely be more interesting. I feel sorry for your little Internet friends who are actually reading that whole thing you're writing right now...assuming they haven't fallen asleep or quit reading yet." Haha. I think she's probably right. I doubt anyone made it this far lol.

Ok, I'll quit writing about mine and Jenny's banter now, since it's about how long and boring and pointless this entry is haha. So on that note I'll shut up. At least this pain med-induced ramble makes sense, unlike the one the other night. This one is just boring instead.

Jenny just informed me that it's time for another pain pill and for me to put on my stupid cream. I'm kind of glad it's time for one even though I hate them. They definitely help the pain and I need that right now. I should've waited to write this ramble after that kicks in...it would be a more interesting entry haha. I apologize again for this whole thing...especially the length because I'm pretty sure this is really long.

I'll probably mostly get back to your journals tomorrow when I can do it on the computer. Mostly. I'll be groggy soon anyway haha.

Mitt Romney is a fool. Way to start off a tour abroad by dissing the first place you visit...fucking moron. He went to London and said London isn't ready for the Olympics. Then he broke an unspoken but well-known rule by announcing that he met with the U.K.'s Secret Intelligence Agency. Not only did he comment on the meeting, but he said he doesn't think their security is up to par. U.S. politicians aren't supposed to criticize the president overseas...it has been that way forever, and everyone knows it. But one of Mitt Romney's main political tactics is to make personal attacks and criticize President Obama, so of course he did so, despite the longtime understanding that that's a big no-no. "And one of his big arguments is that Obama is too worried about offending foreigners. He's certainly demonstrated that he doesn't care about that.

This basically sums up his London Olympics comments - from www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19015278:

"And one of his big arguments is that Obama is too worried about offending foreigners. He's certainly demonstrated that he doesn't care about that.

...Mr. Romney's message for viewers back home - that he connects with the leaders of America's allies and can be trusted with its interests abroad - lies in tatters.

He's offended the British government. The British press have decided he is a knave and a fool."

Yeah, Obama is "too worried" about diplomacy, apparently. Not that getting along with the rest of the world matters or anything. Romney talks out of his ass. The fact is, Obama has a great foreign policy record...and at least he had a little foreign policy experience going into it. Mitt Romney has none. Not only that, but his guys royally fucked shit up as far as foreign policy goes. You know, the whole Iraq thing. Bush invading a country and starting a war under false pretenses, while basically dismissing the real enemy - bin Laden. After 9/11, Bush promised to find him "dead or alive" but abandoned that mission entirely. Bush and his team sat on their asses doing nothing as far as that went. What did Obama do? Authorized a stealth mission that succeeded in killing Osama bin Laden. But according to Romney, Obama has "betrayed the country's interests." (More on the foreign policy stuff: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mitchell-bard/romneys-foreign-policy-at_b_1707767.html) Way to go, Mitt. Great start. But thank you for making yourself look like even more of an ass. If he keeps it up, he might as well throw his campaign out the window and just hand the election over to Obama. God help us if Mitt Romney ends up as President. Seriously. I'll move to Canada. Not really, but I'd probably want to. I said the same thing about the last election...that I'd move to Canada if McCain won haha. McCain and Palin? Are you fucking kidding me? John McCain would have been the oldest president ever elected. The stress of the job makes presidents' hair go grey really quickly, so it easily could have killed an old guy like McCain. Especially since McCain has heart problems. Then Sarah Palin would have been president. How scary is that? President-fucking-Palin. The whole world wolld have been laughing at us and terrified at the same time. The fact that she was a vice presidential candidate is insane. Completely insane. American politics is going to hell in a hand basket.

Sorry, I got sidetracked. Back to Romney's first day foreign fuck up. Pissing off the Prime Minister and the mayor of London and making them think that he's a fool (or rather, letting them see that he's a fool) was about as bad of a start as he could get. I look forward to seeing how he fucks up in other countries on his foreign tour. (More about his comments in London today about the Olympics: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/26/mitt-romney-olympics-london_n_1705657.html)

Another idiotic thing: "We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and [Romney] feels that the special relationship is special," a Romney adviser told The Telegraph. "The White House didn't fully appreciate the shared history we have." Sure, we're part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, but we're a part of much more than that. The United States is one of the most diverse countries in the world, as far as different heritages go, if not the most diverse. Apparently the fact that Obama is half African American is only acknowledged when it's convenient and perceived as relevant for Republicans. I suppose he didn't necessarily mean that we're entirely an Anglo-Saxon heritage, but in that quote he included Great Britain in the "we," and they are pretty much all Anglo-Saxon there. Not entirely, but pretty much. So that comment implies that we are a "white nation" and is racially insensitive, whether that implication was intentional or not. And lol @ "Romney feels that the special relationship is special." If it's a special relationship, isn't calling it special again redundant? Direct quote from the video" "A Romney advisor told the Daily Telegraph that Romney will strengthen the special relationship between the U.S. and Britain because of a shared Anglo-Saxon heritage that President Obama does not understand." Romney himself made no comment, but struggled to come up with a response saying otherwise when confronted about it, and failed to effectively and undoubtedly refute the claim that "The White House didn't fully appreciate the shared history we have." Something tells me that Obama as well as everyone who ifor him is fully aware of the shared history between England and the U.S.. Not like you learn that in first grade or anything. It's both ridiculous and insulting for them to even imply that the White House doesn't appreciate the shared history of Great Britain and the United States. Saying that we share a history is one thing; specifically saying that we share an Anglo-Saxon heritage is another. (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/romney-aides-cite-anglo-saxon-heritage/story?id=16853252#.UBLD6KMQlt3)

I got sidetracked again. The main point of this entry was to is say that Mitt Romney is a fool for fucking up his foreign tour from the very beginning. He's just proving to other countries and to us that he sucks with foreign policy.

Man, I could write about this much better and way more effectively if I wasn't running on two hours of sleep and painkillers haha. I went back down to the lower dose though...fuck those other ones. At least now I'm capable of having coherent (or at least semi-clear) thoughts, even if I can't articulate them very well. I realize that this is all over the place, and that some of my thoughts aren't complete or well-argued. Believe me, I know haha. But it's the best I can do at the moment.

I suggest you guys read up on it, because the articles in the links I posted talk about this stuff a hell of a lot better than I did lol.
