Happy July 4th and all that.
I dunno why, I just don't feel all that patriotic today, even with it being Independence Day. It might be because I've been seeing this long weekend as time away from work (and well-earned time at that). It certainly isn't because of Michael Moore, I can tell you that. No, just don't feel all that excited about being proud to be an American right now. Go figure.
Sure, call it ennui. Call it Gen-X disappointment. Call it mistrust in the current administration.
Me? I'm just calling it The Return of Jonc's Goth Tendencies, aka "The Moody Morose Bastard". Just feeling generally annoyed with the world at the moment. And in a very weird, almost transcendental way, it feels liberating. Like I should have felt this way so many times before when I ended up muting it and putting on the peacekeeper face instead. *sigh* Maybe I'll go upstairs, climb into bed, throw on the new Cure cd, and write some bad poetry.

Speaking of things Goth, pt. 2:
Just thought of something...what if I went to work on Wednesday with black-dyed and spiked hair, black fingernails, basically the whole getup? Just wondering what the general reaction would be, considering the redneck quotient where I work... :p Hey, at least the Doc Martens I have are already steel-toes, so there ya go.

David Lee Roth at the Hatch Shell tonight. Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops has now officially jumped the shark. *sigh* I'm going to hide now.
