'04 Kandyd vs. '07 Kandyd

Things I am learning while re-reading my posts from 2004:

• I was pissed-the-fuck-off at the way this country was being run. (Now, I'm mostly numb with occasional bouts of sadness, followed immediately by a resigned lowering of the head and topped off by playing Nintendo Wii.)
• I wrote a couple of coherent, long-ish posts that hold up pretty well. I'm not sure I could do that today.
• I was occasionally pretty funny, and the things that made me post funny things in 2004 are still making me laugh in 2007.
