CNN Convention Coverage Comments

I should totally be finishing my homework, but I have to take a minute to comment on the the CNN coverage of the Democratic Convention.....

I mean seriously? Who thought that the stupid Brittany Spears, Burger King drive-thru head microphones were a good idea? They really make all of the reporters and pundits look pretty gay. A small lapel mic wouldn't do? How about some boom mics? Anyone??? And all of those big touch screen monitors with maps of America are wearing me out. I can't take any more speculation that sounds like, "well John, if Obama can win Nevada and Colorado then he puts himself in a theoretic dead heat with McCain, who will most likely be able to pull out a win in Michigan, but lets not discount all of those blue collar workers in that state, John, because they can help to put that state in blue for Obama. And by the way John, this head mike makes me look like a complete tool. Back to you."

And all of these Hillary Clinton supporters that can't face the fact that she is no longer running for president need to calm down. Tonight I heard one of the reporters say, "some of the Clinton supports still want to cast their vote for her so they can feel validated". Validated? Quit your stupid whining. I wish that they would realize that the real difference between Obama and Clinton is nothing more than a penis and a bra. They basically share the same (or very close to the same) views on every topic. If you would have stopped your freaking whining three months ago and payed attention to the news, then maybe you would have figured that out already. I'd like to remind them that all of the Ralph Nader supporters who wanted to be validated eight years ago are the reason that Al Gore isn't president today.

...........stepping off of the soap box now..............

Long Time, No Blog

I really haven't blogged much this summer. Don't really know why - just haven't. My computer has had a virus for about a week, but today I think I might've got things working again.

School starts tomorrow, and I can't say I'm super excited. I think I just need to get back in the routine of the school year and then maybe I'll feel differently. It seems like simply over night I went from having nothing to do, to having WAY too many things happening at once. It's always a hard adjustment, and setting the clock for 5am tonight isn't helping!! I'm not a morning person. I hate getting up in the morning. I love staying up late. Well, those nights are over and going to bed before it's dark out will be the new norm.

I really wanted to write this blog to express how ready I am for fall!!! I can't wait for it too cool off. I can't wait to burn my pumpkin spice candles. I always get the urge to bake more in the fall and I can't wait for some pumpkin and pecan pie! I guess I could make those now, but it doesn't seem right. It's gotta be cold outside for that. I can't wait, though!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm off to bed. It's after eight ya know.

I don't want to be the bandage if the wound is not mine....
....I don't want to be your babysitter
You're a very big boy now
I don't want to be your mother
I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months.....
....I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together.....

Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy

No sentimental value to the rose tat fell on your floor
No fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for......
There's an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in your life
There's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistance
could make you try tonight.....
And what goes around never comes around to you

I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm hear but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby

She will always be able to say it better than me.
