Not My Secret but...


This reminds me of my freshman year in college...

I didn't say anything and probably wouldn't have if a friend didn't report him on my behalf, without my knowledge...

he wasn't even my boyfriend

How Could You Not Vote For This?

Our Next President

Yay! My country didn't let me down again! I know that change comes slow and things won't immediately change on January 20. The world won't wake up to roses. BUT, this is an amazing step for us. I'm so proud.

And here's an amusing tidbit from Newsweek:

The debates unnerved both candidates. When he was preparing for the Democratic
primary debates, Obama was recorded saying, "I don't consider this to be a good
format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the
questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let
me ... answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal
thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a
bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in
my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I
f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

Vote!

Everyone please vote today!

And while I will not link all the stories of voting machines malfunctioning or breaking, let me suggest we revert to paper ballots and human counting everywhere and permanently. The crap in Florida in 2000 would never have happened if people voted by coloring in the circle.

I know it will take longer, but sometimes technology is not an advancement. Technology for the sake of technology is not always better. Just saying...

Vote!!

Life in a College Town

The Circle of Drunkenness, similar to the Circle of Life, is destined to repeat itself every night. I had the pleasure of observing and partaking in one just a few weeks ago.

Step 1:

Get to the bar, sober, sit drinking with friends while mercilessly making fun of drunk girls on the dance floor making fools of themselves.

Step 2:

Continue to judge and mock while imbibing more alcohol.

Step 3:

Reach level of intoxication that allows you to stand up and enter said dance floor and commence dancing.

Step 4:

Notice sober bitches sitting, staring and mocking you on the dance floor.


And the circle continues...
