I saw a bilboard for a hardware store in Northern Wisconsin during my travels. It was split in half vertically and half of the sign advertised deals at the store and the other half said “SMILE YOUR MOM WAS PRO LIFE.” How do you know that? Have you asked my mom personally what the circumstances were around my conception? Because I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that sometimes it’s not a choice.
Speaking of silly signs, the Foreign Language Translator at Best Buy this evening was Jesus.
I generally try to be as open-minded as possible, and have never really claimed favorites until now, but I have an incredibly hard time believing it when someone my age says that they’re a Republican. Especially now. I’ve never had the desire to register and vote before, but I’ve actually been sort of paying attention this year. We are the future, kids. It’s hard to look to the future when you could DIE any day. George Carlin died at the age of 70. McCain is 72. And I’m pretty sure everyone liked Carlin more.
Enough.
I’ve made it to Minnesota! All in one piece, and as far as I can tell, I’ve only lost a (free) lamp during the move. We’ve had the cable and Internet hooked up today and even cooked our first meal in the house! Still not much actual furniture in the common areas, but the ugly yellow chair makes us feel “bohemian.”
I start work on Monday. We drove down to where the store is this evening, now I just need to figure out how to get there as a pedestrian. Scary new bus system to learn.
My bedroom is the biggest I’ve ever lived in. I’m able to keep my weights and mat in the room all set near the closet door, which has been super as far as motivating myself to workout more goes. We’ll see how well it sticks, but it’s refreshing so far. It’s also only been two days.
I need a back massage. I also need to desperately find a dress for this wedding. And to learn to walk before I run. I don’t know how to relax!
A HUGE thanks to all my friends that sent travel mixes my way. I really enjoyed listening to them, and for a few trying to guess the artist.
I’m going to light a candle and do some stretching. I’ve got a boatload of podcasts to catch up on, too. Revision3, I’m sorry I neglected you!
Silly Kimmy.
Am I considered to be your age? Because I’m most definitely a Republican. I am scared of the Obamassiah ruining our country by turning it into a socialist state. He will do it.
It’s not nice to hope someone will die. Believe it or not, you will be 72 one day.
Congrats on making it to Minnesota. Are you still working at Starbucks?
I’ll try to be more precise in my analysis next time. I just think that when you say things like “And I’m pretty sure everyone liked Carlin more,” you are making a value judgment on human life, which is not fair.
Contrary to popular belief, McCain actually has a huge problem with Christian voters, especially because of his stance on gay marriage and stem cell research. If you want to read more about it, check out this (http://tinyurl.com/6hobr9) and this (http://tinyurl.com/5636mk). He believes in God (so does Obama), but he doesn’t seem to be religious at all. That’s one of the reasons his choice of Sarah Palin as VP is extremely significant to the conservative base.
Anyway… I cherish my own choices and ideals, too. I don’t believe my party has all the answers, and I hope no one thinks their party does. For example, I am not religious (although I don’t consider myself agnostic) and I agree with McCain on same-sex marriages.
Good luck on the job hunt. Keep me updated. I’m back in beautiful Jersey this week. Classes start next week. Fun, fun, fun!
