The Journal of Amy Wustrin Platinum Chains and Shoe Racks
02/17/2005 12:49 a.m.
So, Vanessa's boyfriend got her a platinum chain with a white gold heart half covered in diamonds. And honestly, i'm happy for her.
On the other hand, i got a shoe rack... from my mom.
I dont want a platinum necklace. Its a guarantee that I'd just lose it. I just want there to be a boy giving me shoe racks.
Apparently, i'm asking way too much.
But for the life of me, I cant see how. I am currently Detached

Stupid Little Punk 12-year-olds in Rockland County
01/29/2005 05:17 a.m.
I must be getting old. I used to DO shit like this. Now I report it to the COPS?? What's up with that??
So I go to Amanda's with her to go pick up some clothes for her cuz she's sleeping over tonight. Now. On the way TO Amanda's house, there was nothing wrong with Central Highway. But APPARENTLY, some dilligent young citizens (by which I mean punk 12-year-old boys who CLEARLY have no parents, since they were roaming the streets like Vampires at 11 o'clock at night in the freezing cold with only their own weak consciences supervising them) must have noticed that there was somethint TERRIBLY bad with Central Highway (possibly that there hasn't been an accident on that road recently enough for their satisfaction??). So they figured they'd do the rest of the town a favor and put orange traffic cones ACROSS THE WHOLE STREET, INCLUDING THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE I WAS DRIVING IN. Naturally, that cone was larger than the OTHER cones, so when I plowed right into it, it got stuck under the bumper.
And then I did the unthinkable. I turned my car around, after pulling into the 7-11 parking lot to remove the offending traffic cone, and I took my car and the cone to the Stony Point Police department. OOrdinarily, I avoid members of the law enforcement field. I don't have to explain to the people who know me best about why. I've got a bone to pick with them, especially in Stony Point. But THIS was beyond anything I could just LET GO. THIS could have destroyed my vehicle. I'm not quite sure how. But I know that damage to some one else's personal property was the intention when these snot-nosed little freaks layed those cones down, so I'm sure I'm lucky as hell that my car still runs. So i HAD to report it. Plus, cones like that belong to the town, so the cops would probably want to know that they were missing those cones.
So we went and reported it. We were laughing a little, the cops were laughing a little, they thanked us for letting them know and sent a car to retrieve the remaining cones and spare the rest of the town the agony Amanda and I endured. But the best part was that on the way home, we saw the little chucklehead motherfuckers who put those goddam cones down and let them know that the cops were on there way. I never saw some scared little pussy-ass bitch boys run so fast before in my life. And Ive seen some guys around here run from the cops before. But this was the finest display I've seen so far. I guess becuase it was myself and my friend who made 'em run.
I hope they're punk asses got brought down to the station to get balled out real quick before the cops had their parents come pick 'em up from the station for the first time, and I hope their parents BEAT THEIR ASSES RED like my mom woulda (RIGHTFULLY) done to me if she ever had to pick my ass up from a police station. (Thankfully, I've always avoided police involvement. I may not be perfect, but I havent taken my imperfection to that level so far.) No respect man. I tell ya. I am currently Angry
I am listening to Roseanne, as always

While my friends blow me off for guys, i'm left going out alone
01/21/2005 09:24 a.m.
tonight i went to the kniting factory show.... aaaaaaalllllllllllllllll by myself, AS USUAL, becuase SOMEBODY JUST HAAAAAAAAAAD TO WORK OUT because her *not* boyfriend is visiting this weekend, and because somebody ELSES *not* boyfriend laid a guilt trip on her for hanging out with me so much and him so little.
and the worst part about it... the thing that makes me feel the absolute most worthless... is not that my 2 best friends on this planet, whom i spend the most amount of time with, and who know me the best, would ever choose guy-related things over hanging out with me... no, that's not what makes me feel like a worthless piece of shit.
What makes me feel like a worthless piece of shit is that it's not looking like i'll get to do the same thing to them anytime soon, because there will never be a boy who cares enough to try to convince me to hang out with him instead of my girlfriends, and there will never be a boy who will be visiting me who will care enough about me to make me WANT to choose preparing for his arrival over a night out with a girlfriend. THAT is what makes me feel the most worthless.
jesus christ, i'm 21 years old. how the hell long am i expected to wait? and whats the deal with my 7th grade boyfriend turning out to have been the most decent guy i ever got involved with?? how did the guys who followed him end up being such a bunch of self-serving scum bags?? why am i watching everyone around me pass me by here? why? it simply CAN'T be just because of a few extra pounds that i could stand to lose. that cant be the only thing keeping me hopelessly and eternally alone. so what the goddam fucking hell is it? i spent all four years of high school without even so much as a date. not even to my own PROM (altho i certainly can't fault anthony for that... *sigh*) and the only boy who ever let himself be known as my "boyfriend" ended up only doing it to make barbara jealous, and dumped me as soon as she became my friend, a short 8 days later. the rest of them couldnt be bothered even with taking it that far. "hooking up", it's called. well it's fucking bullshit. frankly, the longer i see it, and the longer i think about it, the more AMORAL and LAZY and SELFISH it seems to me.
But if i seem that repulsive to guys, then i've gotta figure, it cant be the guys. it HAS to be ME. somehow, some way, i'm just not good enough. no one would want to be see with me like that. no one would want to take the chance of anyone knowing they were actually INVOLVED with me. after all, what would people think??
what indeed? what WOULD people think that's so horrible that no man wants anything to do with me?
that is the million dollar question. the million dollar question, the answer to which brings no victory at all. not for me at least. I am currently Embarrassed
I am listening to nothing

How Condoleezza Rice became the most powerful woman in the world
As Condoleezza Rice prepares to take over the US State Department from Colin Powell, Paul Harris investigates the girl from Alabama who has risen to become the Bush family's ultimate insider.
Paul Harris
Sunday January 16, 2005
Observer
Condoleeza Rics puts a high price on loyalty, but the most valuable is certainly her own. Her unwavering devotion to President George W Bush will reap its most glittering reward this week when she takes over the State Department, becoming the most powerful black American woman in history and the world's best-known diplomat.
Her rise to the top is a remarkable story of superhuman tenacity and single-mindedness. At its heart lies an unshakeable belief in her own ability to succeed and a ruthless dedication to advancing herself. It is a story of a life that began in the Deep South of a segregated America and has now reached the innermost sanctums of White House politics.
But it is a story that is only just beginning. For Rice's latest assignment is fraught with danger. She is tasked with bringing the State Department firmly in hand, stifling the barely concealed dissent that marked the tenure of Colin Powell. It will not be easy and is likely to spark the most fierce bout of Washington infighting in years. But for Bush the job is vital. The State Department must be brought to heel. It is Rice's job to win that battle for her boss.
'Can Rice transform the State Department into an obedient tool of the administration? That is the only question in town,' said Larry Haas, a Washington commentator and former official in the Bill Clinton White House. If she does, the Bush administration will at last be a united and monolithic bloc. The last whiff of internal dissent will have been snuffed out. Rice is in the fight of her life.
At the same time, Rice is inheriting a complex brief that spans a troubled world. The meat grinder of the Iraq war is an ever-present factor. Within days of her taking over the job, Iraqis will go the polls in what will either be a vindication of America's decision to invade or a blood-soaked disaster. The threat of Iran and North Korea looms. Relations with the United Nations and 'Old Europe' are tattered and torn.
Not that Rice is nervous. She has been keeping two offices in recent weeks. One is deep in the heart of the White House, the other a 'transition office' on the first floor of the State Department a short stroll away on Washington's C Street. But, starting this week, she will be in 'transition' no more. Friends who met her last week say she is relaxed and affable. Her familiar calm demeanour is unruffled by troubles ahead. 'She was excited, but was the same old person. She was relaxed and happy and had a lot of time to chat,' one friend said.
That is the Condoleezza Rice way. She is like a swan on a lake. All poise and grace on the surface, but beneath the water Rice paddles furiously, ruthlessly carving out a place at Bush's right hand.
But who is Condoleezza Rice? When she sits down this week before the Senate for the confirmation hearings that will clear her for the job, the panel of aged politicians will see an enigma. She has risen to the highest ranks of Washington by being the ultimate insider who has the ear of Bush like no other power player in the capital. Yet Rice has remained firmly outside the whirl of Washington life. She lives alone and rarely, if ever, socialises on the 'circuit'.
She comes from a tradition of academic study rooted in Ivy League universities, yet is a key part of an administration which has openly disdained such elites. She is central to one of the most radical Republican governments in recent American history, yet many liberals like her.
'I am a flaming liberal,' laughed one of her friends, 'but she is so bright and intelligent. I just think her views are not really represented in this administration.' That is debatable to say the least. Rice is undoubtedly deeply conservative, but part of her genius is in persuading many liberals that she secretly might be one of them.
Rice is also a black American, yet race is rarely if ever mentioned when discussing her rise to power. In a race-obsessed society, that is an enigma. Perhaps the secret lies in her childhood in the segregated Deep South of Alabama when her home town of Birmingham was marred by racial violence and dubbed 'Bombingham'. For Rice's family did not embrace the civil rights movement in the way many other Southern blacks did. They came from a different tradition which held that simple hard work, discipline and education would bring the American Dream to black America. Her family was solidly middle class, with a father who worked as a school guidance counsellor and part-time minister and a mother who was a teacher.
She was raised intensely as an only child of a couple who came to parenthood late. A young Rice performed in church, took piano lessons, learnt to play the flute, spoke fluent French and skipped two grades in school. Her parents stressed advancement through achievement, not through fighting any racial injustice.
Despite everything, it would be wrong to say that Rice has little awareness of racial politics. 'She has no time for black people who are constantly talking about race, but that does not mean she has removed all consciousness of her race,' said Nicholas Lemann, a writer who has interviewed Rice several times.
Several anecdotes exemplify Rice's attitude to her race and also her ferocity when attacked. She famously told one interviewer: 'Let me explain to you: I speak French, I play Bach, I'm better in your culture than you are.'
On another occasion, when Rice was an academic at Stanford, she was shopping for expensive jewellery with a friend when a white clerk made some hostile comments. 'Let's get one thing straight,' Rice reportedly told him. 'You're behind the counter because you have to work for six dollars an hour. I'm on this side asking to see the good jewellery because I make considerably more.'
Rice was a stellar performer at high school, helped by iron discipline that saw her ignore any idea of rebellion or slacking off. 'If she had children, they would call her ma'am and salute. She has a quasi-military approach,' Lemann said.
She was certainly a young woman in a hurry to achieve. Her family moved to Denver when she was a teenager and she enrolled at the local university at 15. It was there she gave up dreams of becoming a concert pianist and discovered a new passion: international relations. That in turn led to an academic career, specialising in the Soviet Union, that eventually brought her into contact with politics and the Bush family. When Bush appointed her as his National Security Adviser she was already familiar to him from stays at the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine.
From there it has been her incredibly close relationship to Bush that has defined her continued rise. She is the paragon of discretion and quiet service to her President. 'There is little daylight between Rice and Bush. It is hard to think of anyone closer to him,' said Shaun Bowler, a political scientist at the Riverside Campus of the University of California.
Like Bush, Rice was all transformed by the experience of 11 September, 2001. That day wiped out any remnant of the 'Old School' Rice who had spent years steeped in academia and the Cold War. 'Before 9/11 Rice probably would have been many diplomats' dream of a Secretary of State,' said Lemann. 'After 9/11 she was transformed into someone tackling a very new world.'
Loyalty is now probably what best describes the secret of Rice's success. Not for her the almost public spats with Donald Rumsfeld that marred Powell's term of office. Not for her the secret briefings to the press or the thinly veiled attacks on her colleagues. But also not for her the terrible isolation that Powell suffered. When it comes to the real decisions over the next four years, Rice will be at the heart of it all. She will bring the ideology of the White House right into the State Department. That is why she was appointed. 'Appointing Rice is bringing the White House into State, not bringing State into the White House,' said Bowler.
That will antagonise many of the Powellite 'Old Guard' in the State Department, who long for a world before the war on terror, the invasion of Iraq and the dawn of the neocons. It is up to Rice to steamroller that opposition and make her department an effective tool of pushing the Bush doctrine around the world. 'She has a huge job ahead of her,' said Haas. 'State usually has a severe reluctance to ruffle feathers across the globe - but this is clearly a feather-ruffling administration.'
So far, however, Rice's first moves have struck a note of caution. Her appointment of the pragmatic Robert Zoellick as her deputy is a traditional move, especially as it passed over the ambitions of the hawkish John Bolton, who would have been the favourite choice of the neocons.
Surprisingly, Rice has few critics in the American political spectrum. Possibly that is because of her achievements, but also perhaps because few people want to be seen to be attacking such a high-profile black woman. One critic, however, is Mel Goodman, a former top CIA analyst and author of the book Bush League Diplomacy, which attacks neoconservative foreign policy. Goodman said Rice had been a failure at the National Security Council because she was taken by surprise by 11 September. 'She failed in her job at the NSC. It is the story that people refuse to tell,' he said.
In a sign that Rice may be headed for troubled waters, Washington insiders are waiting with bated breath for a book by former CIA director George Tenet, who resigned last year as the agency imploded over the scandal of pre-war intelligence on Iraq. Goodman said that an initial synopsis of the book indicated who would be firmly in its sights: 'Tenet's going to go after Condie Rice.'
One thing is certain. Through all the troubled times ahead, Rice will always appear calm. She has good reason to feel safe and secure for she has the unquestioned support of the only man who matters: Bush. When last year she referred to Bush as 'my husband' it was a Freudian slip that reflected how close Rice and the Bush clan have become. When it comes to Rice, the little girl from Birmingham who now bestrides the world stage, she really is part of the family.
In Condie's own words
On sport
I find football so interesting strategically. It's the closest thing to war. What you are doing is taking and yielding territory and have certain strategies and tactics.
On ambition
My parents had me absolutely convinced that you may not be able to have a hamburger at Woolworth's, but you can be President of the United States.
On foreign policy
There cannot be an absence of moral content in American foreign policy. Europeans giggle at this and say we are naive, but we are not European, we are American and we have different principles.
On race
You were told in segregated Birmingham that if you ran twice as hard, you might get half as far. And there were also people willing to run four times as hard so they could stay abreast. And once in a while, somebody was willing to run eight times as hard so they could get ahead. I am currently Blessed

Your Penetration Personality is Oral.
People ask you all the time if you were a vacuum cleaner in a previous life.
You don't worry with the formalities of names most times.
Just getting someone in your mouth makes you night.
A little less conversation and a little more action is your motto.

Being A Republican
01/04/2005 04:44 a.m.
A good story on being Republican
This full page ad was placed in the Washington Post by a businessman named
George J. Esseff, Sr. He paid $104,655.60 to run the ad and only did it
because he is sick and tired of the way that "The Rich" are portrayed by
liberals these days. It is a great read:
You're a Republican???
In today's America, ask a growing number of high school and college
students; their teachers and professors; the self-anointed media elite
and/or hard working men and women of all ethnicity's, the question, "What is
a Republican?", and you'll be told "... a rich, greedy, egotistical
individual, motivated only by money and the desire to accumulate more and
more of it, at the expense of the environment . the working poor ...and all
whom they exploit..."
I am a Republican .. I am none of those things... and I don't know any
Republicans who are.
WHAT I AM .. first and foremost, is a loving husband of some 52 plus years,
the father of four and an American who's proud of his country... and his
country's heritage.
WHAT I AM .. is the grandson of immigrants who risked everything, including
their lives and those of their children, to escape tyranny in search of
freedom.
WHAT I AM .. is a man who grew up during the Depression and witnessed, first
hand, the effects of the Stock Market crash and the soup lines that
followed. I watched as both my parents and grand parents, who had very
little themselves, share what food they had with a half dozen other
families, who had even less.
WHAT I AM . is someone who worked his way through college by holding down
three and four jobs at a time and then used that education to build a better
life.
WHAT I AM .. is a husband who, at age 24, started his own business for the
"privilege" of working 60, 70 and 80 hours a week, risking everything I had,
including my health, in search of a better life for myself and my loved
ones.
WHAT I AM .. is a businessman whose blood, sweat and tears.... and plenty of
them..., made it possible for me to provide a secure living, not only for my
family and myself, but also for literally hundreds of my employees
throughout the years. Employees, who in turn, were able to buy their own
homes, raise their own families and give back to their communities and their
country.
WHAT I AM .. is a man who believes in God; a God who has blessed this
country... and all for which it stands.
WHAT I AM .. is someone who knows, if you doubt miracles exist in today's
world, you need only to look into the face of those who received them ..
and the eyes of those who give them.
WHAT I AM .. is an American who's proud that his President embraces a belief
in God; proud of a President who understands, as "politically incorrect" as
it may be, there is evil in this world and for the security and safety of
all freedom loving people everywhere, it must be confronted... and it must
be defeated.
WHAT I AM .. is an American who takes comfort in the knowledge that our
President refuses to allow decisions concerning the very safety and security
of this nation, to be governed by the political whims of foreign
governments.
WHAT I AM .. is tired of hearing from leading Democrats who see only
negativity in America; racism in her people; class warfare in her society
and "political incorrectness" in her character.
WHAT I AM .. is a former democrat who now understands that it is the soldier
and not the reporter that guarantees us our freedoms of press, speech and
dissent.
WHAT I AM .. is a man who believes in the sanctity of life. A man who is
repulsed by the pandering of the political left for votes, at the expense of
the unborn.
WHAT I AM .. is a husband and father who believes in the sanctity of
marriage and the preservation of the family unit.
WHAT I AM .. is a movie go-er who is repulsed by those insecure, socially
inept, elementary thinking, ego-inflated "entertainers" who have appointed
themselves "experts" in the fields of national security and geo-politics and
then use their forum to attack this nation, its leaders and its actions....
much to the delight and encouragement of our enemies.
WHAT I AM .. is an American who understands the difference between
"censorship" and "choice". Evidently, these individuals do not, because when
these same "celebrities" receive public ridicule for their offensive
actions, the first thing they yell is "Censorship!". What they seem
incapable of understanding is... the right of free speech and dissent is
shared equally by those offended... as well as those who offend. I support
and will continue to support those films and performers whom I choose to ...
and refuse to support those I don't. It is my right as an American ... a
right I will continue to enthusiastically exercise.
WHAT I AM .. is a voter, tired of politicians, who, every time their voting
records are subjected to public scrutiny, try to divert attention from their
political and legislative failures by accusing their opponents of "attack
ads" and "negative campaigning".... and the news media who allow them to get
away with it.
WHAT I AM ... is a Catholic who loves his God and his Faith... and who's
been taught to respect all religions whose teachings are based in love,
peace and charity. As such, I am embarrassed and ashamed of those
individuals, in both private and public life, whose decisions and actions
are devoid of any sense of character or morals; individuals who are only
driven by what's best for them ... rather than what's right ... often times
at the expense of many .... including our national security.
WHAT I AM .. is a realist who understands that the terrorist attack that
murdered hundreds of innocent Russian children could have occurred here, in
our heartland. That's why I sincerely believe America needs now, more than
ever, a President who sees with a clear and focused vision and who speaks
with a voice when heard by both friend and foe alike, is understood,
respected and believed.
WHAT I AM .. is eternally grateful to Ronald Reagan for having the bravery
to speak out against Communism and the courage of his convictions in leading
the fight to defeat it; and George W. Bush for the vision, courage,
conviction and leadership he has shown in America's war on terrorism amidst
both the constant and vicious, personal and political attacks both he and
his family are made to endure.
WHAT I AM . is a human being, full of numerous faults and failures, but a
man nonetheless, who, though not always successful, has continually strived
to do "what's right" instead of "what's easy". A man who is challenging the
religious leaders of all faiths, to not only preach to their congregations
the fundamentals of "what's right" and "what's wrong", but to also then hold
them accountable for their actions in both the public and private sectors.
WHAT I AM .. is disgusted with the Courts who, on one hand, call the murder
of a pregnant woman a "double homicide" but then refer to the abortion of
her baby as, "pro-choice".
WHAT I AM .. is someone deeply troubled by a political party which embraces
a candidate whose primary "leadership" qualities center around his
protesting of the Vietnam war and his labeling the honorable men and women
who fought in it, (50,000 of whom gave their lives in that action), as
rapists, and war criminals. That same political party then stepped forward
this year to block the appearance of a true Vietnam war hero, retired
Admiral and former United States Senator, Jeremiah Denton, (a man who spent
seven years and seven torturous months in a North Vietnam prison), from
speaking before an open session of the California legislature as part of
that state's 4th of July celebration. The reason Democrats gave for refusing
to allow this American hero to speak before their state legislature was
because of the "conservative" nature of his views. As an American, that
troubles me deeply ....as well it should you.
WHAT I AM .. is a man who feels the need to spend, $104, 655.60,(tax paid)
of his own money, to purchase this advertisement, in order to set the story
straight. Some may say this money would have been better spent feeding the
world's poor. At the risk of sounding self-serving, as an American and as a
Republican, for the last six decades of my life, I have done exactly that...
and more. Following the examples of my parents and grand parents, I have
used my earnings to feed the poor, shelter the homeless, provide housing for
the elderly and medical care for the sick..... and continue to do so... and
I'm not alone in that work.
WHAT I AM .. is someone who is paying for this announcement, at my sole
expense, in hopes of opening the eyes of those led blindly by ill-informed
elements of our great nation, who, through either ignorance, or malicious
intent, repeatedly attack and belittle those of us who belong to a political
party that holds true to the belief,"... the rights of the governed, exceed
the power of the government". For those interested, I am speaking only as a
tax-paying individual who is in no way associated with The Republican
National Committee, nor with any of its directors, or delegates.
WHAT I AM .. is a man who understands, "the American way of life" is a
message of self-empowerment for all.
WHAT I AM .. is an American who is grateful that our nation gives each of us
the opportunity of self-determination and the right to benefit from the
fruits of self achievement.
WHAT I AM .. is an American who wants to preserve that way of life for all
who seek it.
WHAT I AM .. is blessed to be an American.... and proud to be Republican.
