Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!

I went to buy stamps yesterday and became very alarmed when the postman started coughing. I began thinking that buying stamps out of the ATM machine was starting to look pretty good again, even if they do tack on a huge fee.
There seems to be a large influx of hare christnas downtown. I mistook one for a pumpkin yesterday because he was wearing a green cap. Then I realized who he was when he started trying to hand me a book and said: "Hi, have you ever met a monk before?" Monk, my ass. Some 20 something who was living in his parent's basement the week before has suddenly found religion, shaves his head and thinks he's a monk. I believe the title of monk is something that you should have to earn and ought to come with some humility. Don't get me wrong, I think Krishna was pretty cool. He was blue, could fly and slept with a lot of women but the cult of hare krishna just isn't my bag and I get offended when people try to sell me religion. True religion is something that you find, it doesn't find you. How's that for philosophical?
I woke up last night around midnight and my mind was racing and would not shut up. First it was very amusing and humorous, then it started turning political. Simon woke up in a coughing fit (smoking and colds do NOT go together) and I started mourning about Hillary Clinton and how she got a bad rap. Sure, her health plan was a disaster but she tried and she got chastised and called a "man" because of it and does George W. even have a wife? Why do president's wives have to be passive and doomed to a term of charity work and nice ladies luncheons? I think he told me to shut up after 10 minutes and I eventually fell asleep around 2.
Go visit Ms. M today. She took the punk test. *giggles* Her entry totally cracks me up.
