Larry lost in the primary. I'm friggin' shellshocked. We lost. In the PRIMARY.
The dude walks on water and I ran the best campaign of my LIFE. And we lost. In the PRIMARY.
The conventional wisdom is that if you come close, you have to go through that post-mortem hell of shouldawouldacoulda. But if you bust your ass and you still end up with that much of a gap, the conventional wisdom is that the voters just didn't want you.
They didn't want him. The voters are fucking idiots, okay? He's a saint. And smart.
And now I have to go back to whoring out PR and marketing services to any and all, or I have to get a real job.
Thanks to those who touched base to make sure I had not fallen off the planet.
I had, but I have re-entered.
I think I will be celebrating my two-year Bigwhoop anniversary.
I have lost about another 15 pounds, so I will also be eating again. Food is good. Sleep is good. We are worthy, we are worthy. Amen.
Also, I prayed to Jesus. Right to him. He was kind of tickled, but again, referred me to the appropriate department.

Posted by: Lara at September 17, 2006 11:19 PMYippee! She's back!
And regardless of what he stands for, I think it's every Floridian American's duty to vote for the guy named "Larry" in whatever election, should someone with the name be running. What is wrong with people?
Posted by: Bess at September 18, 2006 12:59 PMIndeed, it's about time you came back! I am very sorry about the election, but if you have the satisfaction of knowing that you played the game your hardest, then perhaps that will be some source of consolation to you.
I wonder how much flack I'll get for saying this, but for a jew, praying to Jesus is the equivalent of paying retail. Why do that when you can shop wholesale and pray directly to Hashem?
Happy New Year to you, a few days early.

Well, of course, normally I do. But the JC thing was the result of these periodic Jesus dreams.

They're intense dreams, really very heavy, but the message of the dreams always seems to be that I am working with the right Divinity. As a little kid in the middle of California, I had bad Jesus envy, so I have checked from time to time, just to try to stay open, ya know... but Jesus doesn't want me and Hashem just waits patiently, kinda rolling his eyes and going, "Oy vey, here we go again..."
Maybe you've just got to put your back into it, give it some mustard. Jesus likes mustard.
Speaking of which, I have been speculating about your whereabouts ever since you answered my IM in a genuinely confused manner. "Wait, what day is it?" or whatever you said. I decided that you were strung out on heroin.
