Because I Get Worked Up Over Lawmakers Sometimes

Lawmakers are infuriating.  I'm not sure if this is just a condition of being young or naive or both but I get this feeling of dissatisfaction for the way people who are older than me think and behave.  It seems as though I'm occupying a world that has to work around the people who are in power to lift up ideas and projects that will work; that are proven to work.  I have very little respect for federal government.  I dont want to work with the other states.  I like living in my blue bubble of opportunity and ideas and not restricting other people's rights because my flying spaghetti monster had followers that wrote a book of rules to live by 6,000 years ago that I pick and choose from to satisfy my cause because if I lived by all of them, I would be seriously contradicting myself at every turn.  I don't want lawmakers from Mississippi to have a say in what I do in Colorado.  And I certainly don't want Paul Ryan to have his sticky little fingers on budget reform.  Maybe it's idealistic but I firmly believe the world will be a better place when natural selection of ideas wins out and these places that churn out these lunatics have no population replacement because they've lost their intelligence base to cities where you don't have to be an anarchist to live.  The lifestyles of these people will kill them off sooner or later.  In the meantime, I wish the squashers of ideas for progress would just stay the hell home with their opinions.

The snow is causing some serious seasonal mood disorder happenings in my household.  I don't have any interest in feeling cold so I'm skipping classes in the interest of warmth and comfort while at the same time causing cabin fever.  Tomorrow is suppose to be nicer, I think.  Then the weekend and then more snow Monday. FML.

I had an opportunity to meet with someone doing the job I'd like to someday do.  It was incredibly enlightening and he gave me some great insight into Grad school.  Then I spoke with my program advisor who clued me in on the new and improved MURP program at UC-Denver and now I'm thinking about staying again.  It would be easy to stay.  I love it here (apropos the weather this April), I have friends and family and a support network of people who have my best interest at heart, I have already started making contacts in the world I wish to work in and that alone can be it's own job, I like what the future is looking like for this city, I'm in tuned to what is happening here.  But is it in my best interest to do what is easy?  I'm thinking I'll apply at Denver, Portland and Seattle and let the chips fall where they may.  I sure as shit will be staying the hell away from any Red States until things improve in their thinking.
