This is my first diary. I've been here since before the 06 elections, but I'm not much of a diarist. Honestly, I'm more of a loudmouth jackass than a diarist. I'm pretty drunk on vodka shots after a really bad week. Probably about the worst time to be posting my first diary, but here it is.
I'm absolutely FLOORED by Foster's win. I admit it, I didn't have faith. My mistake. $10.01 donated to the DNC as penance as Kid Oakland requested in this diary:

Dean+Obama is a party I can support happily.
I'm drunk, so I'm going to share more than I thought I ever would. My cat died last Wednesday, on the same day as the terrible election results (I hate Clinton, Love Obama). More on the cat at:

I'll miss you Othello.
I graduated high school in 1992. I couldn't vote in 92. I was less than a month under 18. I supported Bill. I hated Bush (the first) then. I was one of those handful of jackasses that wouldn't wear a yellow ribbon. I blamed the troops for the first gulf war. I thought they should all refuse to go. I'm sorry to those who served in the first gulf war. Stupid fucking teenager. I hated Reagan, and I hated Bush, but I blamed the damn troops. Stupid and arrogant.
By 96 I was completely disillusioned with the democratic party. I would never vote republican, but god damn I hated the Clintons. In 2000 I punished Al Gore for the Clintons' sins. I voted Nader. In Florida. Honestly, Lieberman was the final straw. I was BARELY on board with Gore. When he picked Lieberman that was it. Even then I thought he (Lieberman) was a republican calling himself a democrat. At least I was right about that (although I was so wrong about everything else).
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
I'm sorry Al. This is the first time I've said that publicly. I'm sorry. I punished you for the Clinton's sins.
In 2004 I voted for Kerry. I swore for months I wouldn't because of the aumf but I did anyway (Meteor Blades was the first to ask me this, unbelievable and inexcusable that the rest of you didn't with all the times I swore I wouldn't vote for Clinton because of the aumf). Kerry, you fucking voted for the aumf. You are a goddamn asshole for that, but at least you seem to realize it now. I still won't forgive you. You knew better.
When I voted for Kerry I stood in line for what seemed like forever. I stood in the sun in terrible heat and sun (Florida). My vote won't seem like much for most of you, but I was sick. So very sick.
I was married in december 2003 to an incredible woman. You fuckers will NEVER have a mate as wonderful as me. I'm the luckiest son of a bitch on the planet. She's the best. Unfortunately her family was incredibly sick when they came down here to Florida for our wedding. I caught that flu. It moved into my inner ear and caused nerve damage. On our honneymoon. Almost 2 years of physical therapy to retrain my balance from the ground up. I'll never be the same, but I'm at 95%. My physical therapist specialized in balance problems. That's all she saw, her whole career. I was the worst she had ever seen. A year later she was THRILLED that I was doing as well as her (sick) 80 year olds. I was born in 1974 for Christ's sake. Thank you Angela (my PT). My new bride had a husband flat on his back in bed for our first 2 years of marriage. What an angel. I promise you, you won't have a better spouse than I got. Its impossible. She should have divorced me, but she stood by my side. Anyway, I could barely stand, and I stood in line in the hot florida sun to vote for Kerry, who I fucking hated with every fiber of my being for his aumf vote.
So here I am. A drunk diary without a point. I love dkos. I would have been banned from any other site long ago for just saying what I believe. Hey, I'm a loud jackass, I admit it. Does this site ban me? No. I can say what I think. I love you all.
Here's my gift to dkos for the incredible blog I've been blessed with. I'll vote for Clinton if she's the nominee. I've SWORN I wouldn't. I will. I hate her. I mean it. I REALLY hate her. The Clinton's are the main reason why I've been an indie instead of a dem. I honestly don't think Hillary is better than McCain. I don't.
However, if she's the nominee, I'll vote for her. Not because I respect Clinton (I don't, not even a little). Because I respect this blog. If you guys are willing to fight for her, I'll give you (not her) my vote.
That's it. My first stupid fucking diary. Probably my last.
(update) Well, I'm up way too early because my cell phone started beeping its low battery alarm. Grumble. My head hurts. I can't believe I posted this last night.
