straight from the "angry" left

I took an impromptu visit to the beach this weekend and had a blast. Highlights include:

• Running a 5K
• Going to the beach
• Seeing You're a Good Man Charlie Brown
• Catching David and Heather's going away party
• Making a new friend
• Seeing Natalie before she left for Russia
• Going on the Boat with my dad
• Sitting on a barrier island all day
• Spending time with my dog
• Running up to ECU to see Jenny
  

Needless to say, this weekend was EPIC and a whole lot of fun. So that is the short of it.

So I get back to Asheville just in time for the RNC and I have been watching it semi-carefully. I Have to say that it seems a little scattered. Their montages to Bush Sr., The Armed Forces, and Lincoln seemed a little lack luster to say the least. The speeches are tired. The same god-fearing, Bible carrying, patriotic, keep-our-country-safe speeches are tired and used. They won previous elections but they cannot win this one. The Presidential approval ratings are still drastically low, proving that the American public is slowly waking up out of their moralistic coma and actualizing the plight of the middle class and the economic recession coupled with an endless war and unequal rights for all citizens. If that wasnt enough of a run-on sentence, well I have more up my sleeve.
Anyway if that wasn't enough after being picked by the Republican party and not McCain at all, Sarah Palin is under investigation for corruption after being Governor of Alaska for 20 months. Her husband recently received a DWI possibly alluding to a Drinking problem. Her teenage daughter is pregnant, 5 months pregnant. So much for the family values ticket for the Republican party this year? Who am I kidding the spinning of political bull shit has yet to happen.
The best news of all is we have two reputable candidates on the Democratic ticket. We have two dynamic, forward thinkers with a positive plan for changes in our corrupt preexisting administration. We have the ability to make this all better. All we have to do is vote. If you are apart of the 17% of Americans who actually approve of Bush's administration vote for McCain, because he agreed with Bush 90% of the time according to his voting record in the Senate. But if you are ready for change, and agree with the 83% of Americans vote Obama. Let's make this happen.

This week is my first full week. I started a new job this week and I really like it. I also start Choir rehearsal for my new scholarship. Couple all that with the classes, the swimming at the pool everyday, the three vocal ensembles, and everything else. So here is to my first new week of everything. Wish me luck, because I am going to be so busy that I will want to pull my hair out... that's a lie I would never do that. But I would make a decision of some kind, maybe drink too much Saturday night? Something!

I hope you are all well. I wish you all the best! Happy Post-Labor Day everyone!!! In the spirit of celebration here is a Sutton Foster video. I love her, and I imagine you do as well. Enjoy!
