I will be king

Well, perhaps not king. But something similar. I've decided that is my goal in life. Actually, I decided this a while ago, it's just that I started thinking about it again yesterday. I was listening to my music, and Ain't got so far to go by David Byrne was playing. It's not exactly a common song, I only know it cuz it was on a CD I bought as part of a fundraiser for Moveon.org last year. Anyway, the song in part is about a kid, child of a prostitute, lives on the street, etc., who grows up to lead a revolution. It's all a metaphor I know, but I still want to do that. Not be a child of a prostitute or live on the streets, though that might be interesting for a while, but lead a revolution. I want to be the next Ghandi, or King Jr., or even Lenin. I want to have power, a lot of it, and use it for good. (ok, mostly for good. but what's the use of power if you don't abuse it a little?) This fits well with my ultimate career goal of being a United States Senator, for a really long time. For this I have to admire Strom Thurman. He may have been a racist, perverted, conservative asshole, but damn if he didn't have staying power.
All of this is part of the reason that I've been trying to convince my mom to run for the state house back in Colorado. Apart from thinking she'd be good at it, I could have a lot of fun with the campaign. If she does run, I'm gonna be in charge of the shadowy side of her campaign I've decided. You know, spreading rumors, stealing signs, all the stuff that any campaign needs, but can't really do. I've already got a decent amount of experience in this area from past campaigns I've helped on. Not to say I've ever done anything illegal. No, I would never do that. Never, ever. Immoral, unethical, mean, but never illegal. Unless I thought I wouldn't get caught.

My internet connection is really going crazy right now, and it's starting to get annoying. I think I've signed off and on to AIM 13 times in the last 5 minutes. Perhaps it's a sign that I've talked enough crazy for one day. Or maybe that's just my way of ending this so I can go take a shower. Either, I'm out.
