Picked up 5 more delegates with my calls today, good times.
Life can be obscenely confusing at times, but que sera sera, that's how I'll have to look at it. When life throws you a curve ball you have hit the fucker OUT DA PARK.
Tried to pick up batteries today, realized I bought the wrong ones, who uses triple A batteries, why do they exist, just to confuse a blind man?
So, I may be in love with one woman, but DAMN, the interns here are GORGEOUS, all of em', it's nice to have something to look at.
Just to clarify, I am an American Badass
closed eyes, open mouth
The musings of Zimmy, Adam call me what you will but here's what I think. Want to tell me what you think? thats cool, zimm719@yahoo.com

lots more delegate calls today, have been pretty successful too. it's really great getting to talk to people about something you are passionate about, and I am, in the final analysis, passionate about making Robert Reich our next governor.
Donut holes are good, in moderation, not seven at a time.
Got a great gift from the US government, rent seems less of a problem now, thank G-d.
This weekend is going to be wild.......alot of fun.........alot of work, and in the end, when all is said and done, a great thing.
My roommates are pretty good people, I misjudged one of them alot and she really is a pretty special person, she needs to do some growring up but her heart is in the right place.
I should get back to calling

Well, I'm back after a hiatus to travel via Amtrak back to Vacationland. I had been feeling nostalgic about going home, then I went there, the nostalgia faded REALLY fast. Between the morons who pollute the bar scene and the lack of intellectual stimulation, and dealing with numerous less than fun family issues. I remembered why I left very quickly.
I am enjoying the fast pace of this week, building up to the convention, and making lots of delegate calls, so much more enjoyable, even if a given call doesn't go well, than $ calls.
Haven't heard from her in a while now, a bit concered I did something that pissed her off, it would go with my track record.
These really are good people I work with, even if they get on my nerves on occasion but they are here, for the most part, because they believe.

I've started to do the diet thing as of late........walking alot, eating much better, it's not as hard as I thought but man the temptation to be bad is there every moment. I am not doing this for any superficial BS reason, I am doing it because I want to live a long life without a serious heart attack at age 25. I do think loosing weight will help in the woman department but really there is only one woman I am intersted in anyway.
Spent sunday night with Greg/Russ/Storey and Em, it was good to have a congratulatory dinner, none of them will be anywhere near Boston next year and they are all great friends and amazing people, I'll miss them alot.
I wonder, if you have a belief, no matter how mind boggleing it may be, should you not talk about it with a friend. I believe something that I guss could upset someone but I really feel like my friend seriously over-reacted to it, maybe because he, in his heart, thinks I may have a valid point, which is scary I'll admit that, but the fact that it is scary doesn't mean you can ignore the truth.
It kind of disturbs me how dependent we've all become on computers, our internet was down for some time today and I actually felt impetent. Oy to be a ludite again.
Friday's nearly here, COME ON RIDE THE TRAIN, AND RIDE IT.
Sunday, May 19, 2002
G-d people SO DAMN FAKE. I am really sick of co-workers even though I am reommitted to my job if I have to tolerate these assholes much longer I'll probably just tell people what I atually think of them, though that might be a bad idea.
Heading home next weekend will be a good thing, seeing some old friends and remembering why I love Portland.
Solitude is beauty I think but I'd love to have one person to share that solitude with.
Life is so damn confusing and dull all at once, it's a gorgeous sunday and I am at the fucking office, why? because I can't think of anything better to do.

Last night was interesting. I went the Wonder Bar, a great jazz club, with Russo, we ended up running into a few friends of his, along with one of my roommates and his friends. I decieded to have some guts, so I bought these three girls a drink and we had a very nice discussion. That's not like me but it felt good to know I had some guts.
Did the synagogue thing once again, again a good time, and work wasn't awful yesterday, I was calling some of Bob's old buddies from the Big Green, so they liked him already, made my life easier.
Friday, May 17, 2002
Life can be so paradoxical at times. in order to achieve an amazing good I have to do something every day that I hate, but I'll do it, because getting Bob elected really is all that counts. I swear though, if we do win I'll do everything I can to change this F-ed up system.
Bill Bradley reminded what politics can, and should be about. it's not about power, money, prestige, it's about PEOPLE helping people that why I worked for him, it's why I work for Bob.
Well, she just keeps becoming more and more amazing each day, I am dreading a summer without her here but I may end up taking a trip or two if for no other reason than to see her, and hug her.
Fantasy baseball is going to hell in a hand-basket, such a shame.
Well, it's been a strange week, wonderful, horrific, but STRANGE

Had a long talk withsomeone very important to me last night, she basically told me that the only reason we couldn't be together is age, and G-d knows she is well worth waiting for, so I will, As I told her, I'd much rather have the pain of not having her a girlfriend than the pain of not having her in my life at all.
Stayed at work till 10:30 last night, didn't really feel like swing dancing much.
Wow I really need to work on eating better, not that I much care, but I probably should.............still no time or money to join a gym thoug that would be ideal
Bob is in NYC tonight, but tomorrow is Senator Bradley, I'm looking forward to seeing him again
it's graduation time again, and I am glad I am finally going to be an official graduate.
Boston is going to be lonely next year, lot's of people that mean alot to me are moving far away, be it NY or Cali, or other places not near Brookline
Part of me really misses Maine, if public transport were better I'd be living in Portland still, I guess home is where the heart is
Hard to believe it's been five years since I left dear old PHS, I do have some pervse satisfaction in knowing that I am one of the few who has actually made something of themselves.
Sunday, May 12, 2002
ok, so it's been a few days, sorry, not that I actually think anyone is reading this.
May 12th is an odd ass day every year, It's my grammy ethel's b-day, the day she died last year as well, it's my dog lance's b-day and it's really hard without him this year, and it's carley's b-day, well that's a whole other story........needless to say emotions are in a weird place.
Yesterday was fun, with the random paired debate tourney, but I am not really into debate itself anymore, more so the friendships, which is what it really was always about for me anyway
Friday was great, had an AWSOME interview with US-PIRG, enjoyed Temple Beth Zion again, and met a really incredible girl, on the T of all places.
I got to make alot of delegate calls today, which I SO MUCH prefer to asking for money, I don't feel dirty doing it....
Anyway, that's it for now.

No one is home, and yet, I keep dialing for dollars
our new digs are kind of cool but it's still the same old life
This is shaping up to be an interesting weekend, Gus's band, BostonJew.com launch party, Shul again friday, debate thing saturday, mothers day with the family on sunday, and sunday swing dancing with the Reichs
This past weekend blew, nothing to do at all aside from synagogue, and sunday was at the office till 10:30, I need to hang out with my friends more, for my own sanity. I just bascially need a new job.
You know, it's good to see so many of my friends so happy and things goiign right for them, I need that for myself though.
Sunday, May 05, 2002
So I went friday to shul, picture a southern black church with a bunch of Jews singing hebrew, it was AWSOME!
Last of couple of days have been blissful....................I've done nothing.
apparently Bob was told I am thinking of quitting, this fould be interesting.
Well I made it in the globe, guess it'snot as big a deal as I thought but still, pretty shitty.
My Red Sox are on FIRE baby, ok so it's tampa bay but still..........
Have some good talks with some good friends last couple of days.
Happy B-day to my sis, dear G-d she's 20, I am old.
The world keeps n slipping slipping into the future.

Another day another dollar
I think I may actually go to synagogue for the first time in a long time tonight, I could use the devine intervention
My name in lights, just what I wanted (note sarcasm)
Finally over this cold, took long enough, apparently imuno-supresents really do supress imunos
Between Idealist.org and Higheredjobs.com I must find something
Steve may be right, maybe it's about winning so the guy can help people, but maybe it's about winning the right way.
I dunno, if I did I wouldn't be confused, but then I'm Zimmy, I'm supposed to be confused.
day 13, month 9 (my math was off), year 23 (or is it 22) of me looking for the "right one", well I found the right one, when I was five she just doesn't realize it. que sera sera
Thursday, May 02, 2002
So, I figured everyone else seems to have one of these things lately, I may not post every day, hell I may not post at all but at least I will be able to say "dude, check out my blog". Today's been a wierd day already.
Friends selling me out.
Co-workers driving me up a wall.
No money for lunch.
Really need a haircut.
Still searching for a purpose here, really not feeling good about my job
Hoping someone out there will give me the chance to get away from this
And we've now entered the 23rd year, 8th month, and 12th day of me searching for a woman, maybe I really should stop looking
Eyes feeling kind of tired lately, hope nothings wrong, it probably is
Money money money, wasn't this about ideals at some point?
Ah, if only.
