Time for Cool Change

My president clinched the Democratic nomination!

Yes we can!

A Quick Lesson in Rebellion

I just learned today that my boss is accusing me of "starting a rebellion." Yes, those are the actual words. Can you believe it? Me---the ever-diplomatic, the ever-law-abiding, the ever-authority-respecting me? Hah! I am so pissed right now that I'm thinking I might just prove him right! Or am I stupid enough to stoop down at his level? I guess not. But today, I looked at him straight into his eyeballs. If looks could kill, he's already cremated by now. Pardon me, I'm just letting off steam. But in case he reads this, I have two words for him: rebellion and outspokeness.

Rebellion: opposition to one in authority or dominance

Outspokenness: being direct and open in speech or expression

I'm not sure though if he can tell the difference between these two. Hmmm . . . I might just start giving him vocabulary lessons. Just brilliant.

Stuck

What am I here for? If I was born to do this, then why do I feel so inadequate? If this is supposed to make me happy, then why do I feel so empty? If this is supposed to make me live comfortably, then why am I writhing in pain? If this is my fate, then why do I still wish upon dead stars? Why do I bleed so much? Where am I headed? Tell me.
