( 4:35 PM ) shut up christine
up to 35,000 more troops are being deployed to afghanistan
so of course i take this opportunity to educate my father on my theory that there was/is no exit strategy because we don't plan on ever leaving...
which then sets off another war at our kitchen table
it is impossible for my father and i to dialogue about anything political
98% of our conversations will end in him telling me that i'm wrong and that i need to go to therapy and me thinking what an ignorant bastard
because obviously i have always been able to articulate my thoughts coherently and intelligently. obviously.
and then i think
have i ever spoken coherently and intelligently? i can't even remember the last time that happened. that has never been my strong point
i can't be frustrated that he can't hear me, or understand me, because i am just as guilty. then i was like OMG I AM THE IGNORANT BASTARD. I AM!!
and then the clouds parted and angels sang and i got off my soapbox and i could actually listen to what he was saying
