  Tags: cabernet sauvignon, i fell in love with wine, keu reyes, merlot, zinfandel

  I fell in love.  Thirty one years it took, but I fell in love.  However this love is different.  It didn’t take thirty one years to love my wife.  I probably loved her before I was born.  This love is more of a passionate infatuation.  The culprit to have taken my heart, mind and body hostage?  Wine.

  Yes, I know that was anti-climatic.  That wasn’t were I seem to be going, yet here I am.  In love with a beverage that has very little nutritional value.  Some abuse this love, and I can see why.  I’m not  speaking in alcoholic terms.  I’m speaking in the complexity of such drink.

  Please, understand, I did not grow up in the most privileged of conditions.  The taste of Tang still lingers in my childhood nightmares.  It’s pretty sad when I realize the juices I used to drink, were not really juice at all.  Who would have thought that Kool-Aid doesn’t grow on trees.  I would have sworn differently growing up.

  Yet, here I am.  Thirty one years of not understanding what wine was about.  I hated the way it tasted.  It was bitter and scorned.  What I failed to realize, it wasn’t the wine that was bitter.  It was my life.

  Maybe I’m overly stating what my new-found passion is, but the truth is that now I understand.  I understand why some people love onion.  I don’t.  I understand why some people love.  I didn’t.

  So again, here I am.  Learning about one of the oldest beverages in the world.  From the times of pre-recorded history, humans learned to make wine.  It didn’t take long.  I used to drink it just to get drunk.  Get a bottle and finish it in five minutes.  I didn’t understand the taste, or the headache the morning after.

  I decided to give it a try.  A real, honest to goodness try.  It paid off.  I learned how wine is made.  The different types of wine.  The different methods of enjoyment.  What is wine?  I learned that.

  Little by little I started appreciating the flavors.  The smells.  The complexity of such gift.  I found out a lot about me through wine.  Each bottle is different than the next, and the complexity and variety of each serving is pretty similar to my life.

  I can taste beyond the bitterness.  I can smell beyond the alcohol.  I can uncover hidden flavors, which were always there, but now I can appreciate them.  My life is equally interesting, at least to me.  My life’s a bold Cabernet Sauvignon, sometimes.  Other times I’m as clear as a Chardonnay.  Others, I’m a sweet White Zinfandel.

  Wine is a work of art.  It’s a painting dressed as a drink.  The colors, the shapes, they’re all there.  Opening the eyes, nose, taste buds.  Just like life.

  Yeah, I’m still new in my relationship with wine, so I am hoping it turns out to be what I hope it will.  Now I understand a lot of things.  Those that abuse wine, do not understand it.  Those that abuse wine, do not love it.  Just like life.

  During his first press conference as President elect, Barack Obama gracefully showed that he’s no Sarah Palin as he skips a stupid question from the media.  Poor Candy Crowley from CNN was at the receiving end of the dismissal, and it had to do more from the question not being a clear one from the beginning.

  This show’s Barack is not willing to just talk for the sake of answering a question, and instead listens, attempts to understand, and if it’s not clear, he’ll move on to the next reporter with a question warranting an answer.

  Here’s the video:

  Tags: audacity, being, broke, hope

  The act of being broke has become a cultural phenomenon like no other.  There is no hope when you are broke.  There are only worries and hardship.  There’s no light at the end of the tunnel.  There’s actually no tunnel at all.

  Being broke is a real place in most people’s lives.  Having to work everyday to pay for the things we need everyday.  There is no vacation from worries.  There’s no better place after death.  Just a lifetime of one bad thing after the other.

  To not be broke would mean to be different.  To think that you are able to help someone else.  No one wants to be broke, yet most people are.  Those are the things that make all of us not care about our neighbor.  We just need to be a little better off than them.  Work overtime so that we can be less broke.

  Non-broke people act like they care about other people.  They extend a hand to make you a little less broker.  A little less.  There’s no such thing as a little less, since everything continues to be horrible.

  Being broke means that stress at night won’t let you get rest.  It means that it will continue haunting your dreams until you wake up and face your real nightmares.  In this country, or in other countries, or in other planets, hardship and misery is what rules the universes of such places.  Not knowing why we exist and why life lead us into places we don’t want to be.

  Becoming attached to what families are, and the people we feel love us.  Only to lose them or ourselves into a place of no return, being forgotten in no time by up and coming generations. Only the old are remember, and the young die forgotten.

  When someone says that they feel sorry, the don’t mean they fell sorrow.  Sorrow accompanies those of us who feel the reality of situations.  To lose material and spiritual possesions is the same as not having anything at all.

  We become envious of what seems like wealth and riches.  Comfort and luxury rules those that seek their pleasure.  We all seek their pleasures but we suffer for not achieving their company.  Being great does not equal success.  Extreme measures most lead to failure.  But the point of death leaves it all behind only to be forgotten by time, just like everyone before our birth.

  Some of us do things to avoid living other things.  Maintain ourselves busy in what we feel will benefit us and those around us.  Religion is a shortcut for not having to do anything.  We believe in the shortcut that spirituality offers us, but there’s nothing coherent about the happenings of such spirits.

  Is everything real, or is everything fake.  Do some have it better than others? Yes they do.  Do some have it worse than others? Yes they do.

  Envy is a great measuring tool to sort of search through what really matters.  Why can others afford?  Why do they have the motivation to live a great life?  In a search for answers we get lost in the shuffle of questions.  Asking the wrong questions gets the right answer of failure.

  The special feeling of our uniqueness is as bleak as the sunset during a hurricane.  No one can use words better than me, yet I envy those who use words and are better than me.  Opportunity never knocks on the door of those who wait.  Opportunity doesn’t exist for those of us that could use a little help.

  Hope is something rich people use in order to not have us broke people tear down their doors and take all of their possessions.  Hope doesn’t exist.  Poverty does.  We are only poor because there are those who are rich.  If we were all poor, there wouldn’t be any poverty.

  Let’s take from the rich and give to the poor.  Or let’s take from the rich and let’s all be poor.  Does it really matter? Or will other be better in other ways?  Probably…

  Tags: forgetting sarah palin, glasses, kawasaki, kazuo, palin, sarah

  Rimless Kazuo Kawasaki 704 series’ glasses frame one of the most popular faces of the 2008 political campaign.  A real underdog with lipstick and all.  A femme phenomenon despised by other femme phenomenons, yet admired by the common housewife, hockey, soccer mom who believes in conservative values and God‘s will.

  The victim of hacked emails and leftist conspiracies, which attempt to start a fire wherever there’s thick grey smoke.  The same smoke that destroys any chance of visibility or possibility for a find so great that it could possibly outweigh well mapped out words of action and an inconsistent track record.

  A bridge to nowhere built on the promises of hope, and the claims of changing the Washington establishment, which makes or break any political career, past attempts tells us so. Marches of unity towards a free and sovereign Alaska, cold as a snow storm in the middle of a Russian winter, the result of the never ending erratic political climate.

  Never asking for forgiveness as if wrongness is the result of perfection, stumbling over words that were meant so be said, taken out of context.  Attacks from the male chauvinistic media and envious counterparts grace the good morning’s from newspaper’s and blog’s front pages.

  Speeches written by animal rights advocates, authors of entire book pieces dedicated to eradicate depredations of living organisms with independent movement and responsive sense organs.  When the cause is bigger, better, and better looking, careers come before ideals, and the truth is second to winning an argument.

  Perception is golden, yet that which corresponds to fact or reality is scarce, using any means necessary becomes necessary, and the rewards are priceless, and only one in a lifetime.  Devoting the measurement of space in order to learn that which it is unknown, or even perceived to be truthful, in arrangement to confuse the ignorant and earn the respect of those in power.

  Teenage pregnancies are nevertheless a great thing, when under God’s will, so be it.  A new life is born, and needs to be born, for many lives are being lost in what started as a way to make a living, has ended with the demise of human life, and the sacrifices of the body which may never be regained.

  What is the point of a single vote, when many refuse to accept the fact of failure and continued degradation of what life used to be, spiraling down into the normality of what the rest of the world is used to?  Part-spoiled children, part dependency on receiving all of a broken heart’s desire, maintaining ourselves healed out of misery.

  Never yes or no, always speaking for the American people, dodging question deemed to bring out backfiring answers of contentment or repercussions.  Doing what is told from the people whom tell it best, and smiling through hardship and confusion, keeps the admirer admiring, and the hateful rejoicing in anger.

  How to  forget?  Time is the only dictator of that which is remembered, and purpose alone is not enough to not recall something forgotten.

  Tags: john mccain, republicans, sarah palin

  I’m very aware of the politics around me, but I attempt to be political only with those around me that I trust.  That’s why I’m posting a blog for the world to read.

  We all have agendas and some of us carry them out quietly or publicly, but you have to be a fucking idiot to vote for another Republican after looking at the state of our economy in this country and around the world.

  John McCain is worse than George Bush, and is even more clueless to what’s going on than Bush, himself.  John McCain’s campaign copies every single thing that works for the Obama campaign.  They are thieves.  They can’t come up with their own material.  McCain is just a puppet, and not a very good one at that.

  Obama wanted to bring CHANGE…. Now McCain wants to bring CHANGE.  Obama wants to help the economy, the middle class, and the planet… now McCain wants to do the same.  Stealing is not an attribute of a leader and change-bringer.  McCain is literally plagiarizing from Obama.

  I wish Obama would sue McCain for stealing the “Change” slogan.  How could he steal someone else’s work right in front of people’s faces, and people would still vote for him?

  Obama always talks about what’s going on, FIRST… whether it’d be a hurricane devastating people’s lives, or the economy.  Then, a McCain speech follows right after, copying word for word what Obama just said.   McCain’s campaign is as creative as a doorknob.  All they do is take notes from Obama, change the order, and McCain reads the words with the delivery of a second-grader.

  The lack of creativity and originality in the McCain campaign is a clear picture of what the old conservatives want.  Conservatives started to rally back in the eighteen-hundreds when they wanted to “conserve” slavery – hence the word “conservative”.  They lost that battle, but they are still trying to “conserve” their racist and elitist values.

  Conservatives are NOT the superior race, contrary to what they believe.  Besides, being liberal means to bring about freedom.  Conservatives, or better known today as Republicans, try to use the word “liberal” as if it’s something bad, when “conservative” is linked to so many more bad attributes.

  If you are planning to vote Republican, then you deserve what’s coming to you.

  If you want to continue wasting billions of dollars in a war that keeps killing nineteen-year-olds, specially from the poor neighborhoods that don’t have a voice; and, if you want to keep paying higher and higher gas prices, and see more and more home foreclosures, and the richer getting richer, John McCain and all his friends getting richer, then go ahead and vote Republican.

  If you want a vice-president that is as bright as an unlit dark closet during a rainy night, and you want to lose your job due to rising unemployment, and you want your family to lose their jobs, and you want slavery to be reinstated, and your first-born sacrificed in the Iraq war when he’s old enough, then vote Republican.

  I’m not saying that Obama is perfect, but at least he can communicate.  How can John McCain communicate with leaders from around the world, when his speeches sound like a cheap course for learning English?  His charisma and sense of humor is as sharp as a circle, and his smile is a genuine as Sarah Palin’s personality.

  I guess Republicans are right.  People are idiots.  The rest of the world is laughing so hard at us.  They are happy we’re going down.

  Albert Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  So go ahead and vote Republican.  Maybe this time it will be different.

  McCain can say whatever he wants, but he’s so afraid to get owned by Barack Obama on a debate dealing with the real issues.  What is McCain going to do over by going over to Washington to “fix” the economy?  He’s part of the reason the economy is the way it is.  He should stay away from the “fixing”.  He’s had many years of opportunities to do something.  It’s too late now.

  What happen to all the deregulation McCain was preaching about?  What does the debate have to do with the 700-billion dollar bailout?

  McCain is as scared of debating Barack Obama as Sarah Palin is of answering questions from the media.

  What idiots would vote for these people?  They’re the most incompetent politicians in recent history.

  Something smells fishy.

  The silent response of vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin was deafening, and breaks from the traditional debate commentary usually offered by such nominee.  All requests for Sarah Palin’s opinion regarding who won the debate were declined, probably due to the fact that the John McCain campaign cannot have her written statements ready in that short of time.

  I am sure that in a couple of days, statement guru, Sarah Palin, will grace a random reporter with a random comment about the debates.  Maybe “John McCain is a maverick because he hates Russia and Spain” will not be the exact wording used by her, but something similar along those lines is not inside the realm of impossibility.

  The GOP might have thought that Sarah Palin would be their brainwashing warmongering propaganda vehicle, only to be unpleasantly surprised by all the clean-up needed every time she makes a statement or grants an interview.

  Maybe, just maybe, if Sarah Palin does not say another word in public until election time, people will forget about her.  However, it will be truly difficult to forget the energizer and unifier of the Republican party?  At first, Democrats did not know what hit them, which has turned to be the best thing since sliced moose.

  I say let Sarah loose and let her entertain the American people!  I think Sarah Palin is a lot funnier than Tina Fey, and she’s not even trying!

  Tags: 700, bailout, banks, billion dollars, consumers, federal reserve, ripping off, seven hundred, wamu, washington mutual

  

  The feeling is mutual.

  One time is not good enough, so therefore banks in the US need to find new ways to take hard-earned money from Americans each day.  Outrageous fees for services, and God save you if you happen to miscalculate and overdraw your account.  These banks have been taking advantage, specially of the poor in this country, by providing subpar service and products and charging interest for horrible loans and credit cards.

  So that was not good enough.  Making billions and billions of dollars each years, profiting from the person who is in need of a credit card in order to rent a car.  These banks made cash a thing of the past, and have made anyone who actually uses cash to be some sort of suspicious caveman that does not know that the banks offer debit cards.  These banks made us to need them, or so we think.

  There is no argument that banks have profited in the last fifty years quite a lot.  But now, they stand to profit again, mostly against our will, by taking our hard-payed tax dollars away from education and infrastructure and paying themselves for their biggest losses, if not the first ones, of the last century.

  This is unfair and what’s even more unfair is that we do not have a choice.  Don’t call your representative in Washington, because even though the overwhelming majority of Americans do not approve of the 700 million dollar bailout for these rich banks, those people in Washington will make it happen regardless.  Why?  Because they feel the average American is too dumb to take care of him or herself.  They feel that we need Washington to protect the banks, so that we don’t lose our ATM cards.

  The evidence for a bailout is being presented by the Bush administration, which are the same people who presented the evidence of weapons of mass destruction that Iraq was hiding.  Quite interesting that there is nothing anyone could do to stop such money going to the hands of a few men.  But I am only complaining because I am not one of them, if I was, I wouldn’t be writing about this, rather, I’d be convincing you how much we need this bailout.

  So banks have ripped us off for years, and now they’ll do it again, this time even people that are not their customers will suffer.

  John McCain maverick-ism might be getting the best of him, and lately the pressure seems to make a dent on his rationality.  On the nationally broadcasted presidential debate last Friday, McCain can be heard clearly cursing when Barrack Obama brought out the fact that the Republican nominee would refuse to meet with Spain.

  The FCC’s strict regulations of language used by broadcast networks, especially during prime-time, forbids the use of some of the words that McCain can be heard clearly uttering.  The lack of action regarding this matter shows an absence of consistency on the side of the FCC when it comes to regulating such situations.  This precedent now allows anyone on television at any time to say the words “horseshit” as they please, since this is what a frustrated John McCain did during the high-rated presidential debate.

  McCain really got away with one here.

  Barack Obama has a two minute ad where he speaks directly to the middle class, but could be directed towards the lower class as well.  To say that there is a “lower class” is almost taboo for a candidate, but in reality, there is a growing lower class out there and it is that class where the economy hits harder, once it is all said and done.

  Barrack, in his usually eloquent manner, speaks directly to the camera and speaks about his economic plan, and gives the web address where all Americans can review it.  The economy is important, but a real big question that hopefully will be raised closer to the election is, either Americans want the Iraq war to end or they don’t.  It’s as simple as that.

  Speaking of someone with way too much time on her hands, Sarah Palin reads ALL news, according to another catastrophic statement during the Katie Couric interview.  Palin, however, could not cite one example of anything she reads, or maybe she just refused to.

  During this interview, Palin puts it best when she describes Alaska as a microcosm of America, suggesting that Alaska is not America at all.  Could she be hinting that she sold Alaska to Russia on ebay?

  SEDONA, Arizona (CNN) — Sarah Palin during a radio interview said that her family has lost $20,000 in the financial market due to the Wall Street distress.  Sarah is getting major criticism from liberals and conservatives alike, and her experience shows that she cannot manage a simple 401k retirement plan.

  Is this the person that could possibly be managing our world economy?  Do we really want a reckless maverick as a possible president?  Hopefully most Americans are brighter than Sarah Palin and make the right choice this November.

  Hockey-mom, pitbull with lipstick, Saracuda.  What else can you say about one of the most beautiful faces in politics today?  A powerful woman, dominating.  Every man’s fantasy.  Every man, except Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

  Sarah’s bimbo-type of stupidity could be considered a turn-on by most men.  I mean, who knows what could happen after Sarah has a couple of shots of Permafrost Vodka?  Her glasses.  Oh, those stylish, yet old-fashioned bifocals become the focus of her face.  Those glasses take on a personality of their own.  Knowing her most intimate secrets.  Being the closest thing to her brain, they make her look smarter.

  Sarah’s high-pitch voice might have the power to make most men fall into an unpredited bad mood for no reason.  Maybe Sarah’s voice reminds men of a nagging wife asking to for the lawn to be mowed, the house to be painted, and that door to be fixed.  Or an ex-girlfriend’s voice begging to be told she’s loved.

  Nevertheless, Sarah’s engulfed in cold Alaskan demeanor.  Alaska.  A state that must import their strippers and prostitutes from the mainland to meet demand.  The great beautiful Sarah Palin from the cold great Alaskan frontier.

  Sarah doesn’t have to answer the questions that the media wants to hear.  Instead she wants to ask the questions that make no sense to the rambling answers that she gave in the first place.  She’s a maverick.  A maverick pitbull with lipstick hockey-mom betcha by golly wow joe sixpack.  Oh yeah.  Joe sixpack.  Joe sixpack doesn’t  even know he’s joe sixpack.  She’s talking to an audience that most likely does not watch television.  At least the type of TV that doesn’t involve balls (sports) or nudity (porn), and in some cases both (more porn).

  Is it really a surprise that Tina Fey is beating Sarah Palin in the polls?  Yes it is.  But who would vote for Sarah Palin in the first place, Alaska?  Can the cold have a lasting effect on the brain?

  Sarah Palin looks like the type that would file sexual harassment charges for smiling at her.  But maybe not.  Maybe she’d smile back.  It’s nothing personal, it’s that I wish she was honest.

  If she came out and said.. “You know what? I don’t know what the hell am I doing.”  I think most people would understand.  And like her.  And leave her alone.  But it is her overconfidence that is madding.

  One thing.  She is beautiful.  Todd Palin is a very lucky man.  Unfortunately beauty and a keen ability to wingit, does not qualify her to run this country.

  Columbus Day is dying out and for good reason.  Christopher Columbus was not a very nice man, its all I’ll say to not go into the grusome, disturbing details of killing Native Americans.  But in reality what was Columbus Day?  Wasn’t it just another barbecue grill red hot, cold beer, and football game day?

  On Columbus Day no one ever dressed up in old Eurpean outfits and infected their neighbors with chicken poxs and yellow fever, at least as known history shows.  It was a day off.  A day to spend with the family and simply do what you do on a Sunday, but on a Monday.

  Columbus Day was a great excuse for retail store’s sales, and a good day, wheather permiting, to do something fun, outside of the weekend.

  My defense is not of the meaning of the day, but the actual day off that the country enjoyed.  Some people to make a point, are fighting hard to get rid of the day.  I say we don’t get rid of the day and just change the name.  Something that means more than genocide.

  A few alternatives to the Columbus Day could be “Albert Einstein Day” or “Ghandi Day” or “Selena Day”, in reality, who cares.  Just give people the right to have a day off!  No one knows the difference between “Labor Day” and “Presidents Day”.

  Oh, and did you know John McCain was against a “Martin Luther King Day?”  Yep.   It’s true.

  Barack Obama, praised by John McCain as “eloquent”, may have just eloquently taken the “Straight Talk Express” out of commission due the high gas prices and clogged pipelines which “Joe The Plumber” failed to maintain.

  John McCain, feelings hurt from political attacks throughout the campaign trail, begged Obama to make his “boo-boo” go away.  “Kiss it and make it better,” begged McCain, when in fact, Obama has been attacked at least ten times worse, and repeatedly, and not only regarding his policies and ideology, but attacks of a personal nature.

  Obama really “took it to McCain” when he explained that the penalties for not having health coverage are Zero.  John McCain could hardly believe it.  I’m not sure if he was being sarcastic, or if he was actually impressed with the revelation.

  The fact of the matter is that McCain, fundamentally has no way to beat Obama.  One of the only issues that is a black and white issue, no pun intended, is that of Pro Life or Pro Choice.  There is a moral difference that cannot be compromised, and even that could be split with tolerance.

  The other issue is the Iraq war.  Either you want it to end, or you don’t.  Simple as that.

  The fact that John McCain voted against honoring a day after the great civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, shows exactly what he’s about.  McCain voted against MLK day!  Look it up for yourself.

  McCain said he later regretted that decision, especially when it threatened his re-election.  At that point all politicians regret whatever they need to regret in order to get re-elected.  The fact is that his gut instinct was to not honor MLK.

  It’s a sad point in America when a possible president would fail to acknowledge someone who made so many contributions to this country.  And if McCain fails to give credit to Martin Luther King, then don’t expect for Caesar Chavez to be honored, either.

  The best thing we can all do is make sure we stop this less than tolerant mentality from reaching the White House.

  If that doesn’t convince you, then take a look at McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin.  The first black person she has ever seen is Barack Obama.  No wonder she’s scared.  She’s realizing that there are more people that look like Obama in America.  Sarah Palin can’t understand why is this “Obama epidemic” so out of control in this country.  She’s going to Washington to clean it up!

  Hopefully people will wake up and see the reality of things.  If you want to end the war, vote for Obama.  If you want to get this economy straighten out, vote for Obama.  If you want America to be seen as a great country in the world once again, then vote for Obama.

  I would love to dissect the brains of the people that still support McCain to this day.  Those people that do, are very dangerous.  They are those same people that voted for our current president.

  Here’s an interesting article about McCain’s newfound regrets about refusing to honor MLK.

  The organization Acorn has been accused of voter registration fraud.  A lot of the phony registrations benefit Democrats.  So why is the McCain campaign not pushing this story?

  Could a good answer to this question be that the McCain campaign is saving their “voter fraud” card, until after the election?  If not, then why concentrate on a far connection between Bill Ayers and Obama, and not on the story that could affect the outcome of the election and possibly the integrity of democracy?

  The McCain campaign is not stupid.  They will wait this out until after the election.  They will encourage fraud among the Democrat registrations and hopefully there are enough cases to put Obama over the top.  The reasoning behind this, is that after Obama wins, they will take this issue to the courts.

  The courts, as historically proven with the Gore/Bush election, will meddle in the affairs of our democratic ways, and rule that McCain was the victim of a rigged election, and crown him president of the United States.

  This is an unfortunate fact, and the Obama campaign must put an end to this, and ensure that voter registration fraud is halted, for the better of the election.  Nothing is worse than a questionable win.  Once this happens, it is hard to clean up the smear, if you get to win in the first place.

  “Hustler’s Nailin’ Paylin?”  I couldn’t stop laughing when I heard that project was in the works, attempting to use Sarah Palin’s popularity to sell pornography.  But I think I laughed harder when I heard Sarah Palin actually thanking someone who complemented her on that “documentary”.

  It shouldn’t matter if it was the President of the World,  that comment was inappropriate, and something should have been said regarding it.  This prank phone call shows Sarah Palin’s true colors.  Which are the same colors that her handlers tell her to wear.  She has no clue about any issue, whether domestic nor foreign, and she just rambles on and wings it until whatever is happening ends.

  If Sarah Palin really believed in “Country First” she would have turned down the Vice-Presidential nomination and suggested that McCain select someone with more experience.  This would not have hurt the country at all, and she still could have ended up in some cabinet post where she wouldn’t put the nation at risk of looking like idiots.

  Sarah Palin is the new Dan Quayle.

  Here is the prank phone call:

  Here’s also a transcript and breakdown of the call.

  I’m just freaking tired of waiting and waiting and I don’t even know why. I can probably type faster than anyone on the Blackberry and the amount of writing I do per month should probably be in the Guiness Book of world records.

  Yet I don’t know why I do any of it. I struggle to pay my rent and bills every month. I continue to striggle as far as taking care of myself and family goes.

  I trim my nails so that I can type faster. I learn shortcuts in whatever word processing program I’m using so that I can type even more. Still I feel like I’m missing something. What do I need to do to take my writting to another level. To realize my full potential.

  There are a million things tpo write about and with time I plan to write about them all.

  I continue looking for things that are fullfilling and keep finding that writing is the closest.

  I’m going back to making myself a margarita and watching the game.

  I’m heading out to a Christmas party right about now. I’m not sure if that’s even the correct politically correct title for such event. Is it a “Holiday” party, or a “Friendship” gathering? I don’t know.

  I guess I’ll find out. Here I go.

  Sometimes I have a hard time dealing with myself. Why? Because I’m freaking crazy. I’m nuts. I’m not even kidding.

  I truly believe that there’s a thin line between creativeness and craziness. I don’t talk out loud to myself or anything like that, but I sure do think to myself a lot.

  I very seldom have suicidal thoughts or the such, nothing above what the average person would think about, because, if we must face it, we all have thought about what it would be like to kill yourself. Especially after hearing someone has done it. We try to figure out what they were thinking.

  But enough of that, my crazy thoughts are a little different. More in the “what if” realm. What if this happened? What if that happened? From there the thoughts get more elaborate by the moment, and sometimes they reach a good creative conclusion, or other times they get more confusing and never end at all.

  I feel like sometimes I abuse my own body’s chemical release system. Like I manipulate whatever chemical gets released when one’s depressed, at will. Other times whatever chemical when one’s excited.

  It takes me so long to focus sometimes, and I can’t help but to work on more than one thing at a time. I can’t just pay attention to one thing.

  Now I don’t think I have ADD or anything like that, because I’m really not hyper, or unable to complete something, and my focus, when disciplined, is there.

  I feel like I get bored easily. I get distracted, willingly. I’m a prisoner to my own procrastination. Just wanted to note what I’ve been noticing about me.

  I love taking Public Transportation because it literally transports you into a different world. A world filled with weirdos, weirdos, and more weirdos. It’s a gathering place for the crazy.

  In my 31 years of God-given life, I have NEVER been on a bus or train where there wasn’t someone talking to themselves. Public transportation is like the Disneyland for schizophrenics. It’s like a fun roller coaster for people suffering from bi-polar disorder.

  I’m sure that these people need mental health help, obviously, and most likely a home as well. But my question is, if you’re a homeless person with a multiple-personality disorder, where are you going on the bus? We know you are not going to work or home, so really, where are you going?

  The other day I’m riding the Metro train, and I saw something I never thought existed… a Chinese lady talking to herself. I’ve seen most every other race doing this, but this was rather unique because she was actually speaking in Chinese. I assume she was angry with her imaginary friend(s) because she was yelling at them… and that’s when it hit me… we are all crazy!

  Maybe we “sane people” are the crazier ones. Maybe we don’t see the imaginary people that are all around us, and that makes us stupid. They’re right in front of our faces and we just can’t see them. I never judge anyone because they talk to themselves riding public transportation. Sometimes you can overhear some of the wisest things, such as “ARGLKDS HDFHSJLJ DLFHDJKSHFJ SDLHFEUUW!!!!!”

  Like the other day a guy yelled “I’m gonna kill everybody up in here!” And you know what? He’s smart. He’s thinking what we all are probably thinking, except he’s got the courage to say it out loud, and then proceeded to urinate in his pants. That’s true courage. I’m not at that level of human freedom yet.

  But my question remains… why public transportation? …and why only the train or bus? You never see anyone acting up on a plane, and if they do, they’re catching a quick beat down.

  Is there a secret society of public transportation crazies that identify each other by their “haven’t showered in a year” smell? I don’t know, but the dollar-twenty-five fare is sure worth the entertainment.

  This past week was filled with many challenges.  Some good, some bad, some still linger.  Trying to work against the current is always one of the most difficult tasks human beings are constantly presented with.  It seems the harder I try the harder it gets.

  The current pulls me under and downstream.  I must keep swimming to barely stay breathing.

  Procrastination doesn’t mean that you won’t do anything at all.  Procrastination could also include starting something and not finishing it.  Here I’ll try to give the top ten reasons I think I might be a chronic procrastinator.

  1) Lack of Motivation

  2) Putting things off – I’ll finish this list later.

  The irony?  What are the odds that a beer truck driver drives drunk?  Apparently pretty high, or at least drunk.
  
  Here’s the story.

  I’m not really sure if my vote counts, but I know it makes me feel good to at least feel like it does.  Elections are complicated and the system is way too much to get to know.  It is simply an ideology of democracy.  Most people vote their hearts and not their minds.  Is that a good thing?

  To be honest I didn’t understand what some of the ballot prepositions were about, still I voted as much as I could based on what I understood.  Understanding should be a major factor in making decisions, unfortunately there’s no time or interest on my part.  I just try to go with my gut on most of the decisions I make.
