Well this is it. The beginning of the end folks. BP fucked us all with their off shore drilling. The war is still raging on, unemployment is rampant and we just keep on moving. Doing our thing, day to day. Like ants in a row, some lifting, some scouting, some dodging the hungry birds and mean little brat with a magnifying glass... all of us fulfilling our societal roles.
This oil spill is the end of world... it will pollute our ocean. It will kill marine life...and since we are all connected... we are simply not going to make it.
So enjoy your vacations, your holiday gatherings, and your dreams of the future...
because the end has begun.
Cheers...
But who cares anyway...

Up Until Now
There are things in my life that I have to just accept and move on. I am doing my best. I am writing this as fast as I can as my son is asleep and will wake up in a moment or so. I have been a stay at home Dad and masters of art education for the past seven months. It is a bumpy road as I have learned to let go of my goals and dreams and just experienced the day to day. Some of those days I am happy, some of those days I am not... it just fluctuates. I enjoy watching my son grow, and develop. Its wild to observe a human being become more and more independent physically. He is a sharp kid at a young 11 months old. he is already smarter than me. Why? Because he doesn't sweat the little things in his life. Like he still can't use utensils properly. He can't clean his own soiled bottom. The guy can't even speak the same language as his parents. Not that they speak it properly all of the time. Yet he just keeps on living every day. Enjoying the world around him. He is working on walking now. He is toddling more than crawling so we are at the cusp of a new chapter in his life. I already miss the baby he was only weeks ago.
I was feeling guilty for a long time because I was envious of those who were working on their careers. Specifically those in the entertainment industry. Publishing to be specific. I made bad choices in the past, and I believe I could and should be working steadily. There is no good reason other than just not being persistent. Then I remember how it felt looking for work. Being judged harshly and watching everyone licking each others asses. It always made me feel nauseous.
The ego is an ugly thing.
The industry has become too serious for its own good. Its not fun anymore. Its all serious business. It is just that.... a business.
I don't get to write much...
...and now my son has woken up.
Maybe things will change.... after my masters in art education is done this May.
But really, who cares?

The Resonnace of Taste
I'm hearing about everything. What people hate, what they love, what makes no impact on them. Well, have you ever had an omelet with cream cheese and garlic filling...? It is amazing. I don't think I can ever eat another omelet again... My friend Sarah who was once a chef in a restaurant is now a teacher (long story). She spent time at a lake house with my wife, my son, her husband and me.
She calls her omelet " the house special" and it is to die for. The cream cheese with the eggs yolks and salt all grilled in a skillet will literally kill you. You will die with a smile on your face but you'll kick that bucket hard!
The health plan is also killing people. Political conservatives hate it. Liberals love it (I've been told because they have their heads up their asses and haven't grown up yet), impartials don't give a shit and the homeless just want your excess change.
I think I know why as a boy I didn't like politics nor did I talk about them. I don't understand them now, but I have plenty of people who say that they do and tell me all of the time what I should be thinking.
I don't think I want my parents to be pushed aside if the government tells me that they are not worth a possible life saving operation. I think that makes me a conservative... but I also don't think that people who trade money and lose peoples' money are honorable Americans either... so am I a liberal?
Who cares what anyone is anyway? Shouldn't we care about this country and how it is doing? Shouldn't we all want the best for the United States? I thought so. I think so.. yes we should.
I was told a few days ago that conservatives want to see people pull themselves up from their bootstraps and make it. Where liberals want to give hand outs to keep the status quot. I thought about this a bit. I pondered the weight of this statement. Yes, I guess there can be some truth to this...? But why then when I meet conservatives do I want to decapitate them when they speak. I may love the person, but then I hear their rhetoric and I have to swallow the vomit in my mouth.
On the other hand, liberals just seem to want to give people who seek better lives for themselves and their families the chance to do so. Liberals do become drippy gooey messes of self-righteousness and preachiness yet they don't give as much to charity I am told.
Hmmmm.... Taste....taste. It all seems bitter to me. I do not read enough because all media is tainted although I'm told by conservatives that FOX news (not channel 5 the other one) tells it the closest to reality as it is. Tee-hee! That's cute. Then I'm told by both conservatives and liberals why the other is incorrect and dangerous. But then there's the vomit in my mouth with the conservs make me feel, Hmmmmm - taste....hmmmmmm.
Maybe... maybe I feel more for the poor illegals, or the down on his or her luck people because that's who I am. I don't always make the right choices and I suffer due to them. Does that make me a bad person? I love to spend money on things that make me happy.... Yes I said THINGS. Things like a movie ticket, or comic book, CD or my all time favorite, a new DVD (it's my addiction of choice). Does that make me a bad person? I don't think so. No, no it doesn't.
I don't enjoy these "things" lately anymore as I am unemployed and my wife supports our family (my 6 month old so and I). See what I mean. I have a lot in common with the class of people that are not considered "go getters". If you don't make something of yourself, the conservs think you should... even if you can't. Just make yourself a success. I've noticed most conservs say that. Just make money.
The liberals, well, just want you to make a go at things that you can. If you can, if not, they'll cry for you.
As I was saying, I know what interests me, and what brings me joy. I think that is all that matters. Yes there should be enough health care for all people no matter the class level. Should the government dictate it, I'd say no, because the govt doesn't know my Mom and Dad. They are great people who raised me. And I am not ready to give them up if perhaps one day they need an operation that is $50k and the socialized health care says they aren't worth it, heads will roll. And I don't mean figuratively.
Taste - well some like hot dogs and pizza and some like sushi and chai tea. If it works for you, then that's a great thing. If I had the garlic and cream cheese omelet every day it just wouldn't be special when I did have it, now would it? I'd also be dead, so maybe a nice balance is in order.
I fear that this country may be headed for even darker times, before the sun rises again. That is bitter yes, but something doesn't seem to taste right.
But really who cares? As long as iphones are affordable it seems that many an American are o.k.
Have a great one!

Well Who Cares?
The Fall is here. No more sun tan lotion, no more long days with pink and purple sun sets. No more ice cream and bikinis. No more summer block busters that don't bust anything accept the audiences wallet. No more heat (thank God). No more obnoxious teenagers acting out because they think they have what it takes to be some body! No more of the experimental reality tv shows that suck, but just for the summer.
It's time to gather your text books, and grab that syllabus. Pat little Sarah or Simon on the head and say "have a good day at school". The Fall season of all the good programming begins soon, and the sun will set earlier and earlier; so early that some people leave in darkness only to return in it.
What does time teach us? How many of us really learn from the memories of our past? Why be afraid of new ideas when the old ones have not proven effective?
I don't know a lot about a lot, but I do know that we as a species are flawed, almost defected. Now those of you angered by my perspective, I mean it as a compliment. We are not at the peak of our evolution. We have not found the perfect balance that benefits our kind and the living things around us. Give us a break. More importantly give us a chance.
Most people didn't even think about the King of Pop's legacy until he unfortunately passed way too early.
Perfection does not exist because it is an abstract concept conceived by an imperfect, learning and developing being. You can't say which side is right and which wrong, because there is always a biased based upon the effect of those sides on a personal level.
Just let the president do his best, and watch him closely (like all elected officials should be). If he makes mistakes, bad ones, kick him out. But don't be frightened by a point of view that is not the same old dusty barkings of the same dog. Give the new dog a chance.
Yeah he's black, so what? And he has friends whom have admitted to being anti-American, so what? Who cares? I'm different from how I was in college. Maybe they are too? Do you think that the officials on the right are not connected to some kind of anti-American shadies? Of course they are! Accept they are in business with them too. The right does know how to make cash, that's for sure.
I've been warned about our president's decision making from good friends, a parent, a significant other, and many others.
I've never been politically minded. Basically because I've never seen a political discussion turn out well. Accept for maybe on the Daily Show, or on the Steve Colbert Report. But that's just rhetoric. I think.... wait a minute. "Think!" That's it. People need to think. Use your heads for God sake and work things out for yourselves!
If our current chief messes up badly, well then off with his head. But what is all the fuss about?
No one was terrified when our last leader (of the FREE world) told us we would have to pay more for nothing, and said there were bombs and there weren't. Ooops was all anyone would offer as an answer.
It's a black guy who is half white. There, wipe your brow. And for all the people of color who did vote JUST because he's black, well, you're just dummies. Like dumb like the pigs who are led to slaughter. Just like all the right-wings who want to see our president fail just to rub it in the noses of the lefts. Like dumb-fat pigs, Mr. Limbaugh.
We don't want to think anymore as a nation. We want to be led. Like sheep! So if all doesn't end in 2012, and we are still forging ahead toward a brighter future, then I'll put on my sun glasses and grab a shovel. Because a pile a shiny shit is still just a pile of shit.
Who thinks that any one president will change everything? Ding-dong you're wrong!

Do What You Love
There is a simple guiding force in the universe many agree which draws us to our "Destiny". That force, or energy, or God is what acts as a magnet. Some believe it's "Him" upstairs, others concur it is the energy either being attracted or repelled by the flowing beams of goodness (energy) that run through us like a river of electricity.
I've experienced that doing something I hate makes for great stories and amazing venting monologues, but isn't very enthralling for the rest of the world. Who cares, it's my party and I'll cry if I want to.
My spirit was crushed today.
I'll play my violin for you: I am taking 6 full time Masters courses and am smack in the middle of moving, with a pregnant wife, and was unemployed until I was asked to be a substitute teacher (just for two weeks) for my landlord's middle school. A substitute is pretty much a warm body (preferably breathing) to stand in front of a class to make sure the students are alive for the next class. In a middle school, you are meat for the beast, because many of these kids don't respect or give a shit about their regular teachers. So a "sub" is worth less than the filth on their brand new sneakers, that they cannot afford but so many have.
There is a dark feeling inside me that wants to be away from these little monsters. Most look unloved, and uncared for, and it's sad. But I am in a different position now, as soon I'll be a Dad, come April 29th '09. I am proud, excited, thrilled and honored, and now biased. I used to feel for these kids left behind, because they will be. Maybe not in every class room, but the world will forget about them. It's just nature.
My priority is my son and my wife.
If I was not born into the family I had been, way back in 1972, I would be one of these sad and lonely children.
But I still find myself wanting to be away from them. The angry middle school shadows of the future.
I am not enjoying this, can't you tell?
I was not like this when I was a student as a child. I was respectful, and quiet. I did my work and I went home.
I also did/ do not understand the loud, dumb, acting out... I have no patience for it, nor am I sympathetic. They are animals...they were when I was a kid and they still are. The public school, loud, smelly, obnoxious, damaged babies that parents messed up.
I am damaged too in my own way. But at least I was/ am quiet.
Yesterday, I asked my wife and she said she loves going to work everyday. She loves it. My colleague said she too loves her job. They both collectively have over 15 years experience teaching. I'm glad they love it. Somebody has to.
I am just having very negative thoughts and feelings and I can't always "leave it home" I'm either to weak, or too sensitive. That is who I am. So what? Who Cares?
The day seemed to drag on, and on and on. As though there was no end. The smiling, cackling, devious, brats just talked and talked and talked. I had to go to places in my mind where I found comfort and security, because yes, I wanted to kill them.
I went to lunch with my colleague; we went to get Mexican food at a nice place around the corner from the school.
Exhausted and defeated, and ready to go home (I'm a wimp and I don't care), I ordered my burrito lunch special and went to sit down at the table where my colleague chose for us to sit.
I sat down, sipped my diet coke, and saw a familiar face staring back at me from the printed table cloth.
It was a Mexican poster of Spiderman, reaching right toward me. Bright red and blue! It was like seeing an old friend...
I did look around the entire eatery. Just in case I was reaching. Not a single superhero did I see anywhere other than directly in front of me.
Is it a sign? I hope so. And I'll take it. Whatever it means.
You only have one life to live....
...so please....
.......Do what you love...
the world will be a better place for it.
have a great sunny Spring....

Injection of Purity
O.k. well, it's been a while since I've opened my mouth, or my key board, and it's time. I'm stealing a moment out of my busy day to spew shit. I don't care about the politically correct crap anymore....I'm using curse words to emphasize my unhappiness. I'm not going to be vulgar, but I am not going to worry if I am perceived as a low brow. Heheh.
We have the inauguration of Obama. It's done, let's move on. No one expects him to make things perfect, because none of us have direct experience with working in government, however just try to get something organized at your job. I was a teacher for 5 years and just to choose a place to have the end of year party was like rearranging the socioeconomic foundations of Bulgaria. Who f-ing cares? Just eat your meatballs and chicken franchese and shut your mouths. (love you all)
There is no one way to make things better in this country and Bush did what he could, ebedeeebedee (Porky Pig stuttering) - which was nothing really. Clinton got a hummer and messed up the mortgages because the loan companies were greedy mother-f-ers that didn't care about the outcome. Nice job Bill.
It's all just greed. That's the bottom line people. It's not enough in this country to make millions of dollars, but we need to make more and more and more. Yeah , the government rapes us openly, but we're free. Right? Go do something free today- baaaaaaaaaaaa- sheep. That's it. I am too. I love it. Just give me my wife & son, family & friends, shelter, movies and time to draw and I am the richest man on earth. Well, that is if my pregnant wife keeps working. (Love you honey, and thank you).
America is headed toward being a third world country because of the desire to have more than we need. I'm not saying that people that work hard shouldn't have cool stuff to take the edge off, but look at where we are. In a pile of poop and we've been given a knife, fork and napkin and freedom.
We pay for everything is this country, so don't think for a second that you're free. I'm not a liberal, or a democrat, or a republican, or progressive - I'm a human being who lives here, and it's getting to me. No one should be free if we have to bail out the money hungry demons that went after the bottom line so ferociously, that they need "our" help. Are you mother-f-ing-kidding me?
If Clinton messed up, o.k. he did...Bush could've changed it. If Obama can't fix it (it's going to take decades people....not a year or three) then he can step aside too. Who messed up before Clinton - more Bush. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm sick of Bush. And Clinton wasn't man enough to resist an ugly little plump intern. Pathetic - even if he was just a truck driver.
Who was before Old Bush..? We can go back as far as we want... it's all still chicken soup no matter how you spice it. It'll basically tastes the same.
The human condition is just dumb. We're animals that think they are superior because we can "make choices" and we have organized religion. Well, when that garbage takes over your life and it makes you hate people and hurt people, it's trash, throw it out. I don't care what the organized thing is...if it evolves to where your fellow human is being hurt by it, IT IS WORTH NOTHING.
Don't give me that civilization is created because of survival needs and the evolving "higher" primate awareness of it's self. Mooooo-shit! It's fodder. And you know it.
If you've read this far, then you really are something special, because I would have stopped after the first sentence, but that's just because I have no attention span, and I am too dumb to understand politics. I may have read further because I wanted to see what else was going to be said. So for the interested free human reading this far.....here you go.
That Angelina look alike c-word who has the fourteen kids: Take her by the legs, and take the legs of the doctor who gave her the hormones and smash their heads together. What ever bloody goop that is left on the floor is still higher in intelligence than she is or the doctor. She is a criminal, and so is he. Yeah yeah - you're feeling bad for her? Don't. She is sick and she is stealing from the hard working civilians in this country. She is an abomination, and must be stopped. She is like a mini-Binladen! Take a look at her on youtube. She has had injections in her ugly lips and her ugly nose was shrunken to look like an ugly Angelina Jolie. Her mother is now burdened with this God Damned tragedy. I'm having a kid this year - the only good thing in my life next to my wife and my family (both sides). I've been laid off and my wife works while she is pregnant. I am a canyon full of anxiety because I want to make sure my son has a decent life. This mother (f---er) of fourteen is a child abusing cretin. She is what is wrong with this country (among other things). They aren't pets, they aren't toys - they are human beings who are going to grow up believing that this is an acceptable and appropriate behavior and life culture. It is not. Period. Oh and for the record I HATE the Duggans (a family with 18 kids and counting - on cable) and I'm not too thrilled with John and Kate plus eight (who had beautiful twin girls and took hormones and had six-tuplets - I spelled it purposely that way so relax). John and Kate are very Christian too - well if you couldn't get pregnant maybe God didn't want you to you assholes!
Yeah - that's normal. That's good for an over populated earth. No worries, I'm sure there'll be another war coming soon and the population will thin out again. Or a disease will be tested by being released into the general population to see it's effects. Yay!
If you have no children and want some, then yes do what you have to, but when you have children, and they are not cared for sufficiently, you strip society. I saw a woman on Super Nanny who had ten kids and it was her dream to have twleve. The ten she had were in turmoil, hence being on Super Nanny, or is it Nanny 911, the show with the British chick with the glasses. It's on channel - 7.
The reason big families existed decades ago (I mean long ago, not in the 80's knuckle head) was because child labor was needed to keep the family going, and also because out of ten kids a third usually DIED. So you had to push out puppies to beat the death curve.
Oh and I don't think they're cute either. They're people....who you think will grow up feeling special because tv cameras are in their faces, and they're not (special that is).
O.k. then I saw: On the cover of a New York news paper it said A-hole. A-rod who is Alex Rodriguez admitted or it was found that he took steroids to perform better at his job. Um, who f-ing gives a shit!? Um, don't they sell Viagra, Cealis and Levitra so we can perform in the bedroom? And most of us don't get paid for that. Doesn't coffee affect how we produce in a lame job in front of a computer? And we aren't being filmed or doing our expected job in front of tens of thousands of people (at the stadium and on tv), usually millions?
What about sugar? We consume this stuff because o.k., yeah it tastes good, but we know that is makes us sharper, or helps us with our creativity. Even if it's "organic" (pussy's - I do it too, relax -heehee).
We even go in the opposite direction when we are at a party, we (not everyone of course captain defensive - generally speaking) use alcohol to relax us in social situations, and to be more relaxed after a long day of life?
So put every one of those baseball players into that hall of fame, or I'll bite your knee caps so bad, you'll weep like a hungry infant. Beause those guys were doing their job, and making gobs of cash doing it. There is no honor in a capitalist society. And let Pete Rose in. He gambled on baseball. Against his team, o.k. Who cares? He was making money and that's they name of the game. And it's baseball. If your kid, or any kid becomes a drop out, or criminal because Pete Rose gambled, or A-rod took performance enhancing drugs, it just means you failed as a parent. That's all. IT's you're kid, it's your responsibility. That's it. No debate, no discussion. (Think about it). Oh yeah and leave Roger Clemens alone too.. he was just doing his job, and I HATE Clemens. Like if his plane went down, I would laugh. Yes, evil comes in all shapes and sizes and the Emperor (from Star Wars) was right, it feels good. >:)
Anything else. Oh yeah - Madonna you're a grandma. Stop it! You vein-y armed, she-male. You are not cool. You are an ugly witch who was never a good role model for young girls. She shook her tits and ass to get ahead in the world. Is that what you want your daughter to imitate? For the flip-side of that I hate Mylee Syrus too, or whatever her name is? She is terrifying, with big Muppet eyes. She has a flat face like an orangutan. But BIG EYES like one of those digitally manipulated faces for magazine ads, or in a tv commercial.
Angelina Jolie is not a role model either. What is the message she's projecting? Be gorgeous (if you think she is, I'm more of a Salma Hayek guy). Then be famous. Then be rich out' the ass! Then kiss your brother on the lips at the Oscars, and then, marry an old guy who made one good movie (Sling Blade). Then make a good looking idiot LEAVE HIS WIFE to marry you. Then adopt brown kids from different parts of the world where they have no money. You are a weirdo Angelina and I'm glad I'm having a boy you freaky big lipped gargoyle!
Michael Jackson has white kids, maybe that's the balance. Who knows, who cares?
I guess I do because I'm tired of it. I should be doing something productive, and maybe I am. We'll see.
I love exclaiming "you are the ball lickers..." from the film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. And yes, you are the ball lickers.. haha. I'm just the asshole inches away from the licking. Ugh! So, don't bring me the self righteous nose lifting and don't give me the street talk. This is the way it is, from one person's perspective.
Inject yourself A-rod. Complain if you don't like Obama. Do IT! Hold tightly onto your jobs, how ever long you'll have it, who knows, and who cares? Just don't try to inject purity into the world of a species who still hasn't reached the next level of evolution yet.
"Im a humanist..." Al Pacino as Satan in The Devil's Advocate
We have the inauguration of Obama. It's done, let's move on. No one expects him to make things perfect, because none of us have direct experience with working in government, however just try to get something organized at your job. I was a teacher for 5 years and just to choose a place to have the end of year party was like rearranging the socioeconomic foundations of Bulgaria. Who f-ing cares? Just eat your meatballs and chicken franchese and shut your mouths. (love you all)
There is no one way to make things better in this country and Bush did what he could, ebedeeebedee (Porky Pig stuttering) - which was nothing really. Clinton got a hummer and messed up the mortgages because the loan companies were greedy mother-f-ers that didn't care about the outcome. Nice job Bill.
It's all just greed. That's the bottom line people. It's not enough in this country to make millions of dollars, but we need to make more and more and more. Yeah , the government rapes us openly, but we're free. Right? Go do something free today- baaaaaaaaaaaa- sheep. That's it. I am too. I love it. Just give me my wife & son, family & friends, shelter, movies and time to draw and I am the richest man on earth. Well, that is if my pregnant wife keeps working. (Love you honey, and thank you).
America is headed toward being a third world country because of the desire to have more than we need. I'm not saying that people that work hard shouldn't have cool stuff to take the edge off, but look at where we are. In a pile of poop and we've been given a knife, fork and napkin and freedom.
We pay for everything is this country, so don't think for a second that you're free. I'm not a liberal, or a democrat, or a republican, or progressive - I'm a human being who lives here, and it's getting to me. No one should be free if we have to bail out the money hungry demons that went after the bottom line so ferociously, that they need "our" help. Are you mother-f-ing-kidding me?
If Clinton messed up, o.k. he did...Bush could've changed it. If Obama can't fix it (it's going to take decades people....not a year or three) then he can step aside too. Who messed up before Clinton - more Bush. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm sick of Bush. And Clinton wasn't man enough to resist an ugly little plump intern. Pathetic - even if he was just a truck driver.
Who was before Old Bush..? We can go back as far as we want... it's all still chicken soup no matter how you spice it. It'll basically tastes the same.
The human condition is just dumb. We're animals that think they are superior because we can "make choices" and we have organized religion. Well, when that garbage takes over your life and it makes you hate people and hurt people, it's trash, throw it out. I don't care what the organized thing is...if it evolves to where your fellow human is being hurt by it, IT IS WORTH NOTHING.
Don't give me that civilization is created because of survival needs and the evolving "higher" primate awareness of it's self. Mooooo-shit! It's fodder. And you know it.
If you've read this far, then you really are something special, because I would have stopped after the first sentence, but that's just because I have no attention span, and I am too dumb to understand politics. I may have read further because I wanted to see what else was going to be said. So for the interested free human reading this far.....here you go.
That Angelina look alike c-word who has the fourteen kids: Take her by the legs, and take the legs of the doctor who gave her the hormones and smash their heads together. What ever bloody goop that is left on the floor is still higher in intelligence than she is or the doctor. She is a criminal, and so is he. Yeah yeah - you're feeling bad for her? Don't. She is sick and she is stealing from the hard working civilians in this country. She is an abomination, and must be stopped. She is like a mini-Binladen! Take a look at her on youtube. She has had injections in her ugly lips and her ugly nose was shrunken to look like an ugly Angelina Jolie. Her mother is now burdened with this God Damned tragedy. I'm having a kid this year - the only good thing in my life next to my wife and my family (both sides). I've been laid off and my wife works while she is pregnant. I am a canyon full of anxiety because I want to make sure my son has a decent life. This mother (f---er) of fourteen is a child abusing cretin. She is what is wrong with this country (among other things).

Bad Money
The economy is in bad shape and we need to hold on tight to reach land in this ocean of dreariness. Things will work out and there will be light at the end of this tunnel.
My life has been affected by this down ward spiral and I'm pulling the rip cord before I hit the ground. I'm not panicking, just bracing for the hit.
Often when you think of a depression your memories may flash to black and white photographs of people who had nothing and survived by helping family and friends. Lighting fires in garbage cans and begging for a penny on the street to get a slice of bread, or a match to light the garbage can fire.
I don't suspect that things will get that bad. I hope not. I took a walk on my lunch break yesterday and my mind was lost to day dreaming. I imagined what would happen if there was suddenly a news bulletin, "U.S. currency is worthless.."? I'm not sure of the circumstances to bring this to fruition, however, I wondered what hell would that bring? Would every company go out of business? Would rioting in the streets start instantaneously? Would schools be overwhelmed as parents tore their children out to ensure their family's survival? Would police departments crumble? Would the government?
Would those with guns in their homes now make the rules? Would that be the end?
I'd like to believe that our friends over seas would lend a hand. Or would the United States of America just become the latest item up for bid?
That is what I thought of as I took my walk. It sent shivers up my spine.
I also watch a lot of movies and I love drama, so I'll see the credits roll in my "mind reel" and let that night mare end peacefully.
With the bail out in effect and a new President in office, I can only be optimistic and hope everything will turn out great in the end.
It's going to take time. Many have said it will get worse before it gets better.
Well, we'll see if all those animated specials really sank in about family being the most important part of the holidays.
It's going to be a simple Christmas for me and my family.
Good luck to any one reading this who was also affected by the economic orphanage fire that's happening.
My heart is with you, for my heart is all I can afford to give.
Be well. Stay safe.

Yes We Did!
Here we are on the first day of a new future for our country. Is there a lot at stake? Yes. Is there elation and illumination filling the streets of this nation? Absolutely. Will things turn around in our government by Saturday? No way Jose! If you have a brain in your skull, you get the reality of this. It is going to take time and effort to make things move forward. JUST to move forward. By that I mean just to begin the steam engine to change direction may take up to four years. If President Obama has any influence and is very persistent things may begin to move in a year or two. Where we are as a country is , well, imagine a eagle, with big beautiful wings soaring toward an open valley, full of green pastures surrounded by towering mountains....but loses it's direction and lands to rest. Somehow it gets it's claws caught in a crevasse in the bottom of a cavern. The creature is trapped, not able to pull itself out...it hears something, the sound of rushing water...as the cavern begins to fill. Then out of the darkness steps a man. He has never helped a trapped animal as powerful and as full of potential, but he reaches down... to do SOMETHING, anything, to give this majestic beautiful bird a chance to take flight again.
That is a melo-dramatic metaphor, but I don't give a hoot as that's what we need. To see the drama in this. To take note, and stand up and get ready for whatever may come.
There may even be more darkness ahead before we even see a shimmer of light at the end of this tunnel. But at least there is hope and inspiration.
If you are reading this and you are unhappy about our new leader, that's o.k., let him prove himself, I agree. You can't just be all talk, and charm. Something tells me that President Obama knows the pressure he is under. He understands the scrutiny his actions will be under by everyone, by specifically those who supported his competitor. Even the people who voted for him, many of them may disagree greatly with the choices he makes as our 44th.
I saw the live shots in Chicago, and in Harlem too. There was a gasp and then a roar of joy! There was dancing and crying, cheering and singing! Heck, Oprah was there. She was honestly hiding behind some civilians, and she looked like a little girl with tears in her eyes. And I am not a fan of Oprah.
Some of you may be like, "yeah sure, that's what a presidency is all about, dancing...give me a break...". You have to put this in perspective. One hundred and fifty years after the end of slavery, a man that would have (despite his intelligence and influence) been maybe working on a farm, or a plantation. He is a symbol of freedom. If you have ever felt pushed aside for what you look like, or because you were different in some way, our President is who you should think of. Yes, the man is brilliant academically, and the ladies love him, but he is still something to acknowledge. The beginning of hopefully a better America.
If he doesn't fulfill our "dreams" so what. He is still just a man. But by his being elected, we have shown something to the rest of the world. YES we can!
Be proud today, no matter your political path. Be proud to be an American! I know it sounds corny. But we made history. He has a lot to live up to. Give him a chance.
I want nothing more than to see this country great again!!!!
Think about it.
God bless, the United States of America! And just to be sure, keep your fingers crossed. :)

So Here We Are!
Well, it's time. Nov. 4th 2008 Election Day! Kids are off from school, many restaurants and chain food stores are offering free beverages and meals. Starbucks is offering a free cup of coffee (12oz) to anyone who says "I voted". Even if you don't drink coffee, give it to a homeless man or woman and say "here, I voted".
Never before has there been such electricity in the air over an election! O.k. there has been, but I'm talking about right here right now. This is something that will be analyzed and used as historical reference for years to come.
Some say neither candidate is worth their weight in Oreos, but I say nay. "NAY!" This is a turning point in our country's history. It also has a ripple effect with our public relations around the globe.
We need reform, and optimism! Is it going to be difficult for our new President to "change" things, or to put our "country first"? Hell yeah it is, but something is happening, right now! With a thought, and a flick of a switch (o.k. maybe a few switches...)
Then there are the idiots. I was just informed that students from the University of Chicago are being advised to stay in doors specifically if Obama does not win. The University is located near a not so safe area, and the city of Chicago wants nothing bad to happen.
Are you f-ing kidding me? Are you guys animals are what? Only lions and elephants (I'm not saying monkeys, I'm not an asshole) would run rampant in the state of anger and disappointment. That is exactly what the right-siders will point at if things don't go Obama's way. I will never understand that type of behavior! Ever!
I am sorry for Sen. Obama as his grandmother did die recently and will miss this exciting moment her grandson has brought about.
If you haven't yet, do not forget to vote, it's important that you do, even though I think there is always some under handed scheme going on if things are not in favor of a certain party's objective.
So, here we are people. At the edge of the volcano. So much on the line, so much excitement to witness. The air is thick with moca-latayes.....and a fever is air born. It makes your heart pump, and your palms sweat. It's what hopes and dreams are made of. It is an election you WILL be discussing with your grand children.
No matter the outcome, the story is a great one! Of a great country, with great people!
Hopefully with a great future!!!!!!
Be well, and be a part of it!
Oh and Zack and Miri make a Porno was hysterical!!!!

Greetings All
I'm aware that recently I blogged about Barack Obama, and a colleague said, "you spelled Barack wrong". I told him no, I didn't. Because I spell his name with power...with strength. If the "c" is added then his name is not memorable. The B-a-r-a-k as I spell it, makes you remember him. It's how I interpret his name, and the vibe I get. I'm kidding I really thought it was spelled without a "c". But the man does inspire me.
Say it with me people, BARAK Obama! I believe in him. He believes in us. At least that is what I like to believe. Inspiration goes a long way.
This country was created by a group of people inspired by a notion that "the people" can live free. A place where the people have a say. Now we all know that the government will never give us complete control, so you have to take care of your own. Uncle Sam isn't really your uncle, he just says that so you'll fork over taxes and get sentimental over soldiers sent to die for something they were told they should believe in. I am a soldier supporter, so don't get angry please.
O.k. So I spelled his name wrong. How many of you knew that? :)
My heart is in the right place, so, nah nah nah nah naaaaah! Anyway...My apologies for spelling the Sen.'s name incorrectly. If he knew I'm sure he'd pat me on the shoulder and say, "that's quite alright son...as long as you know who I am...." CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!!!!!! Haha, kidding again! I get the feeling McCain would just ask me where I've invested my money. :)
O.k., I've covered my tracks...kinda-
Happy Halloween! And Bababooey to you all!

Uncle Sam isn't really your uncle, he just says that so you'll fork over taxes and get sentimental over soldiers sent to die for something they were told they should believe in. I am a soldier supporter, so don't get angry please.
O.k. So I spelled his name wrong. How many of you knew that? :)
My heart is in the right place, so, nah nah nah nah naaaaah! Anyway...My apologies for spelling the Sen.'s name incorrectly. If he knew I'm sure he'd pat me on the shoulder and say, "that's quite alright son...as long as you know who I am...." CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!!!!!! Haha, kidding again! I get the feeling McCain would just ask me where I've invested my money. :)
O.k., I've covered my tracks...kinda-
Happy Halloween! And Bababooey to you all!

Up Up and Away
Here we are only six days to the end of an era. Hopefully it will be the beginning of something new and fulfilling. I have slammed the right only because well, they're a little loony in my opinion, and I think the lesser of the "two evils" is really the better right now. We will see what our new Pres. has to offer in the new path this great country will take.
I will support whom ever wins and pray that the right choices are made.
Barak has been accused of socialist values with his support of the little guy. Um..well, isn't the little guy us, "bailing out" the big guys socialism??? Heck yeah it is.
O.k. so Barak served on a board with that terrorist dude. That makes him a terrorist supporter? That means if you ever meet someone, or talk to a person who has committed a crime, you too will be a criminal? What the hey!!?!?
There is not one way to help our country the pick up is going to be slow and tedious. I just don't think right now that the right will do what is "right". It's my humble opinion that we need to take care of ourselves as a nation and do what we have to. But the bailout? Really? If I or anyone I knew were in financial trouble, would Fannie Mae or any one of those companies help? Not for a second.
So again, think about where we are in our history. What we need to make this country the best it can be. It's not an easy task, but don't sell us (and yourself) short. There is nothing to be afraid of. Most distrust and aggression comes from fear. If it's Obama's name, just say so what. If it's the fact that he is a Muslim. Just say so what? He is a person that instills hope and promise to the back bone of this great country.
When big companies get tax brakes, it isn't jobs that are created. It's big bonuses for CEOs and managers. Exxon doesn't say, "oh well, we've received a billion dollar tax break..let's hire ten thousand new employees and add to the economy..." No, they give it to the top dogs as expense accounts, and vacations, and holiday checks. Do those in a higher position deserve bonuses...not with the tax break...use profits..use the owner's money. Don't bleed me for your unnecessary lush lifestyles.
We were for so long trying to see what was so great about McCain. When Obama speaks, he points out what is so great about me, my wife, my sisters, my parents, my nephews, my neighbors. The middle class, who has been dragged around for so very long finally have someone looking out for us.
So many have told me, or more warned me that I'd better be ready to apologize after Obama gets elected and ruins things. That will not happen. Sen. Barak may be the left side's poster boy, but he is different. He stood out from the rest of the candidates. That's what greatness is. You have the established "machine". Then there is one who walks to the beat of her/ his own drum. That is what makes this country great. The individuals who are just not like the rest. Who can command an audience and inspire the hearts of a country's people. Sheep do not lead the Shepard.
Come on people, let's move toward a better America!

Woop There it Is!
Sarah Palin appeared on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Even though she showed a great deal of humility and good humor about herself and her position in the election, she's still just a goof in my opinion. It's not the media's portrayal of her, not in the least. It's her quirky benevolent attitude that erupts from her Muppet like plastered smile, with her Alaskan redneck twang in her voice. Mostly, it's her way less than serious attitude when discussing, well anything. Everything is a joke. Everything can be slid aside, and a joke fills in what informed, intelligent thought should. It's a comedian's job to be funny when in front of a crowd. Not a politician's.
She is attractive yes, and seems friendly. there are millions of soccer Mom's that identify with her approach and position. THAT is what terrifies me. This country has good people who are ill informed and perhaps a bit naive, and there are some who just aren't smart, I'll let you fill in the blanks.
Alec Baldwin complemented her on her looks, and I'm sure she's met a humble Tina Fey. Then again George Bush Sr. actually invited Dana Carvey to the white house for his impression of "Not gonna do it....eh ehhhh..". So, the republicans can laugh at themselves, good for them. Four more years, maybe not so good for us. Not right now.
I'm a believer of both parties meeting somewhere in the middle. I don't think anyone is 100% for either side.
The buzz was big, and the pay off was fun. You should google Amy Poehler's rap she did during weekend update segment. It was Off Da Hook! Haha!
Woop there is is! (she made no reference to the rap song I am referencing, but I needed a fun title for my blog that ..oh well you get it.)
Hulk SMASH today on DvD!
Get your green ON!

Round and Round
The debates are over. The dust has settled and who has come out ahead? Well, I guess that depends on who you are supporting. McCain made decent points, but to me acts like a knowledgeable grand father who is asked how would he change America if he could. I'm sure those on the side of the "right" would say Obama is worried about the little guy who doesn't add to the economy the way a business owner does. Well the little guy actually does. The middle class (both upper and lower) spend more on average on a consistent basis than the wealthy. Business owners do what they can to keep costs down and profits high. But they are there for profit only. Any business (unless nonprofit) works toward and only profit. Families work for their family and for the best life possible for their loved ones. Business owners are greedy and want luxurious lifestyles. I'M JUST KIDDING. The argument is a good one, and with our economy doing badly again...blah, blah, blah. The little guy / gal vs. the BIG Business!!!
Americans (legal or not) are going to go to work. Buy their expensive coffees and read their emails. They'll indulge for the holidays, and they'll still go on vacation. We'll bounce back, I'm sure of it, but at what cost? I've heard by right side-ers that you can't blame Bush for the economy, but you can blame Clinton. Left-ers and liberals and progressives tell me, it's entirely Bush's fault, he lost control and has nothing to offer. What can you do? Without knowing the truth (which is fed to us by the media mostly) there is one thing to do: vote.
I never thought I would ever care about politics. Perhaps it's me getting older, or being married, or the fact that (like every other American) such a tremendous chunk of my income goes to taxes that now that I want to know what they're doing with that money.
We as citizens will probably never know the exact truths, but maybe we don't want to know everything.
Think about this $5 a car to pass over the Whitestone Bridge. How many cars pass over her? Ten thousand a week? Maybe more? DEFINITELY more! Where does this cash go?
It's like beiing caught in a clothes dryer...we just go round and round!
Have a great weekend.

Another Day
Fee Fye Fo Fum - I smell the Dow rise like the sun. Yes that's true. Yesterday the stock market rose up high and gave some a little faith. Don't get too excited. This is normal for an unstable time. This will happen a few more times, then it will sink and then rise again.
We are living through very bizarre times, and we will get through this as we have gotten through other catastrophes. This one though is man made, not like that global warming (wink).
October is a time for leaves to turn, goblins to crawl and Christmas trees to be up at the local mall? Yes, in a mall I work near, Macy's has already put up around ten large Christmas trees, fully decorated with holiday decorations and doo-dads all around on sale. At first I was annoyed and bothered, then I immediately realized that the stores have no choice. With an economy in near ruins, and Americans (who celebrate) want to have their holidays. Perhaps items can be bought a little at a time.
The film industry doesn't seem to be hit by the financial collapse. Films come out weekly like they were all in a cookie jar that an anxious child tipped over. If they were made, and marketing dollars went out, then I guess Hollywood has no choice but to try to put those dollars back in. I guess vaudeville was a success after the depression hit.
It's interesting to me that people still can justify entertainment spending when things are so tight.
I'm not pointing fingers, I LOVE movies. I'm just wondering if escaping from reality is the reason. Even when the economy is doing well, people love to be entertained. Americans work hard and so they want to play hard. That can justify one's existence. Well, enjoy.
I've read that if we do not comply with the bailout martial law will be carried out to ensure this countries survival.
Let freedom reign.
Oh and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull comes out today on DvD. Shame on you Steven Spielberg and you George Lucas. Shame on you for destroying one of the most beloved film heroes in American cinema, dare I say the world.
You Lucas already crushed every heart of Star Wars Fans in the US (I'm sure they loved them in France) with your trashy episodes 1-3, yuck!
It's time Mr. Spielberg you stick to the topics you understand at your respectable elderly age. I'm not bitter, just so very hurt by what you did to Indy. Dr. Jones deserved a better send off. Not that the ending of his last flick (in 1989) wasn't perfect, literally riding off into the sunset.
To take off the heat from them, The Incredible Hulk comes out (on DvD) next Tuesday! The mean green is no Indiana Jones, but may act as the "spoon full of sugar" to make the feces go down somewhat smoothly.
Swallow slowly. Taste it all.
Ah, just another day...

Whether or Not
It's a nice day. The sun is shining, and our species is milling about. If you have not heard, over seas this morning there has been a crash of sorts in the economic foundation of Europe. This is just the beginning. A global collapse of historic proportions is on the horizon. Some predict so bad so, that countries around the world will want to have a say in who is elected President.
It will be the next thing my generation tells their grand children about. Yes, there was 9/ 11, and then came the collapse of the world's economy. Thank you Bush administration, thank you.
It's been eight long depressing years and it's time something else happens (I didn't say change). Things will get worse before they get better, but they will become really bad.
When the bail out was announced I went to the bank to deposit my bi-weekly check. The bank was filled with people and a creepy, ominous understanding that this was bad. Many people had wads of green stuff clumped in their fists, and bulging envelopes they were stuffing into their pockets and purses. I felt like I was witnessing something in a movie. A badly directed and horribly produced movie.
I am not an economics professor, I'm just a blue collar guy, that is lucky enough to draw cartoons for a living.
Whatever happens, I'm sure we'll survive, whether or not the right choice is made on November 4th.
Have a great weekend.

At Random
I work on the tenth floor of a landmark building that exists in White Plains New York. I got to work and got on the elevator with an elderly gentleman who resembled a cross between Martin Short and Woody Allen. Something compelled me to say "hello, how are you?", this man is a complete stranger, I have never seen him in this building before. he replied "oh, I'm o.k. and how are you...?" "Surviving" I replied. He followed that by saying " I guess that's all you can do at this point. You know this country isn't what it should be. The Bush has single-handedly ruined this great country with his, his, mismanaging of everything. It's terrible, don't get me started. " I told him I agreed whole heartedly, and he left on his floor. That's where we are. A stranger's expression, in an elevator.
This country is great and I love it...we just need to grab hold of those boots straps real tight.
I watched a bit of the debate, and McCain keeps using "my friends" and "this guy" when he refers to Barak. I think McCain is a little robot too when he takes the microphone and waddles around the platform and tries to raise his arms up to make a point. O.k. that was mean, but he's not Presidential material.
There is a good time coming in this country. Just hold tight. Good things happen. Just at random.
It's a hot October day. Be well.

Criminal
So they signed the dotted line. The "bail out" is in full swing. If you were in trouble would the government step in to help you out? They would not. You got yourself into it and well, too bad. It's disgusting that this country is in this predicament. Why don't those companies just go bankrupt? They can't because they give credit lines to companies. Companies pay employees. If they can't...wait a minute. Shouldn't they have seen this coming? Shouldn't someone have said "hello, we're heading toward some trouble hear...". If someone did, no one was listening.
It's all b.s. this bail out nonsense. It's an atrocity. Some have said to me," if it'll help the country then take we should help". I already pay my taxes and I follow the God damned law. I even recycle (which is more costly and not good for the environment) and that's a lot. I'm not angry, just really annoyed and a little hurt that we are not being cared for by out gov't.
It's 2008 and we are in another Vietnam in the Middle East. we are facing another potential depression, and Sarah Palin....arrrrrgh! Oh and the French and (I think) Swedes want to fire atom smashing devices at each other and see if it creates a black hole!?!?! What they hell is going on here!?!? Our species is out of friggin' control. Why can't we just be happy living and breathing, and being. I'm not passive, but I'm not destructive either. O.k. I'm an artist and I do use paper, and I sometimes flush more than once , but I'm working on that.
It's f-ing criminal that Bush has been in charge for so long. It's a tragedy that the spine of this country has to "bail out" the anus. And it's terrifying that some see Palin as an asset.
I don't know, maybe I'm nuts. Maybe we're headed for the end. I just hope something happens to bring positivity into our country. We're sinking fast.
Today Sleeping Beauty is being released by Disney on DvD and Blue Ray. I say check it out, escapism may be worth it's weight in gold. (which is way up by the way)
Somebody call the cops!

Look Up
The heart beats and the mind soars. Your eyes open, you sit up and get out of bed. You have another day to live. It's miraculous that you have this ability. The wind is blowing and leaves are swirling in spirals through traffic and over black metal gates, cluttering the sidewalk. It's Autumn and it's perfect.
I think Autumn and Spring are the favorite seasons of many because they are easy going. They are the middle ground and they give you just enough to breathe deeply and be you. Summer and Winter are the right sided one way, cut off and stern seasons. They are what they are and they bring good things too, but are not as passive as the other two.
Seeing life in it's earliest of stages is something to behold and admire. It is more than one can express when experiencing it for the first time up close.
We are floating on a rock, covered in water spinning through the galaxy, in the universe. I mean, you can think about this all day. We as a species have become lost in a way due to our very own selfish, narcissistic nature. It's too bad we are so destructive and simple at the core.
The heart beats and the lungs compress. Eyes dart left and right. Get to work on time, and pay the bills. See the movie and watch the news.
If you happen to get a few minutes free. And no one is watching...
...look up.
You'll be glad you did. :)

The Freedom of Being
The follow through in life may be as technically challenging as the one in golf. Things change and you can either change with them or bring on your own. The individuals I know would rather be the change they want to see in the world, but usually follow anyway; me too.
I become so inspired by what's happening in the world, even-though things are dangerously close to the edge. It's always darkest before the dawn...right? We must walk through the darkness to emerge in the basking sunshine as the hero...right?
How is it in 2008 that not only are we facing World War three with a possible depression following? What have we learned from the past? Nothing I assume. Kennedy was wrong, it is what our government should do for us. We are the spine of this beast, and we cannot live for very long if crippled. There is no accountability and the problems have been piling up for the past 50 years.
I am not a political analyst, and I'll never profess to having all the facts, nor any answers. I am a concerned American that is (like everyone else) living through a very dark time in our history. After the Great depression, both World Wars, Vietnam, Korea, assassinations (attempted and completed), corporation scandals, and 9/11. What the hell is going on?
If you haven't seen the new Palin interview with Katie Couric (it aired 9/29), as McCain sits close by to extinguish any shady journalism (gotcha!). It's the greatest mockery of what this country is supposed to be. I'm not attacking the right by any means, there is just no way I want these imbeciles running my country. That's right, I pay my taxes, so this country is mine! Every American should feel this way, and there should be a full renewal of our power as voters. You can defend the right side all you want. The left is no pot of gold, but at least for right now there's consistency. I respect McCain for what he's accomplished and survived, he is an American symbol of strength. But he chose Palin, and she is a complete idiot. The only positive about Palin is that her face got Tina Fey back on the openings of Saturday Night Live (you tube them, she's fantastic).
That is where we are. We are waiting to go into those voting booths and make something happen. I'm not an idealist, I used to be, and I'm worn thin. I'm a realist, and maybe an optimist when I need something to believe in (I hate it that I'm referring to a Poison song, but so be it).
There are bad things on both sides as in any election of almost any election year (still being diplomatic). Right now, at this moment we need a path. If our new president is to wear the label "leader of the free world" let's make sure it fits well.
If there are (I'm sure there are) those who have Obama's race as an issue, you're just dumb. It's not an issue. Or at the very least it shouldn't be. Open your eyes and just see beneath the surface. Don't take the easy way out. Don't take offense, just take note.
Yes, Clinton made mistakes, and Bush senior made mistakes, and Bush Jr. is a douche bag, but the truth is any person who is "elected" (what happened in Florida???) may not be 100% perfect, but I think it's time to think about our families. It's time to think about living and prospering. Think about, just tomorrow. It's the tomorrow's I am concerned about, I'll survive today. I'll take 80% right now, heck I'll take 50%. But we should expect nothing less that 110%!
It's funny, I was going to express my thoughts on individual freedom. The art of "just being" is sometimes lost in our quick paced society. Then it hit me. We are not free. We pay for everything we have in this country, and if you think differently, go and speak freely about things you cannot tolerate. If you're too specific, they'll come to check you out.
I love where I live, and I know the U.S. is not a perfect place, but we are on the verge of drowning. This is NOT a perfect place. But perfection is an abstract term, created by a flawed being. It's all subjective.
Chris Rock said on his latest HBO special, (paraphrasing) "you have to be pretty bad if you make people vote for a black guy!" And also, "I'm not voting for the guy who got caught, I'm voting for the guy who got away!" Pretty funny and pretty hard core. That's where we are. It's the follow through. It's the freedom of being... ...an American. I'm not sure what that means anymore.
I'm still waiting for Jim Henson to pop up from underneath Palin, and all of us breathing a sigh of relief. But that isn't happening.
Do I hate McCain? No, I do not. I think his unpredictability was a good thing, it would have kept us on our toes, he was a maverick. Did he choose poorly in Palin? Absolutely. She is his biggest failure.
Oh and by the way, "I am Iron man!"

I become so inspired by what's happening in the world, even-though things are dangerously close to the edge. It's always darkest before the dawn...right? We must walk through the darkness to emerge in the basking sunshine as the hero...right?
How is it in 2008 that not only are we facing World War three with a possible depression following? What have we learned from the past? Nothing I assume. Kennedy was wrong, it is what our government should do for us. We are the spine of this beast, and we cannot live for very long if crippled. There is no accountability and the problems have been piling up for the past 50 years.
I am not a political analyst, and I'll never profess to having all the facts, nor any answers. I am a concerned American that is (like everyone else) living through a very dark time in our history. After the Great depression, both World Wars, Vietnam, Korea, assassinations (attempted and completed), corporation scandals, and 9/11. What the hell is going on?
If you haven't seen the new Palin interview with Katie Couric (it aired 9/29), as McCain sits close by to extinguish any shady journalism (gotcha!). It's the greatest mockery of what this country is supposed to be. I'm not attacking the right by any means, there is just no way I want these imbeciles running my country. That's right, I pay my taxes, so this country is mine! Every American should feel this way, and there should be a full renewal of our power as voters. You can defend the right side all you want. The left is no pot of gold, but at least for right now there's consistency. I respect McCain for what he's accomplished and survived, he is an American symbol of strength. But he chose Palin, and she is a complete idiot. The only positive about Palin is that her face got Tina Fey back on the openings of Saturday Night Live (you tube them, she's fantastic).
That is where we are. We are waiting to go into those voting booths and make something happen. I'm not an idealist, I used to be, and I'm worn thin. I'm a realist, and maybe an optimist when I need something to believe in (I hate it that I'm referring to a Poison song, but so be it).
There are bad things on both sides as in any election of almost any election year (still being diplomatic). Right now, at this moment we need a path. If our new president is to wear the label "leader of the free world" let's make sure it fits well.
If there are (I'm sure there are) those who have Obama's race as an issue, you're just dumb. It's not an issue. Or at the very least it shouldn't be. Open your eyes and just see beneath the surface. Don't take the easy way out. Don't take offense, just take note.
Yes, Clinton made mistakes, and Bush senior made mistakes, and Bush Jr. is a douche bag, but the truth is any person who is "elected" (what happened in Florida???) may not be 100% perfect, but I think it's time to think about our families. It's time to think about living and prospering. Think about, just tomorrow. It's the tomorrow's I am concerned about, I'll survive today. I'll take 80% right now, heck I'll take 50%. But we should expect nothing less that 110%!
