Daylight Savings Time

Don't get so caught up in all the election broohaha that you forget to set your clocks back Saturday night!  

Yay!!

Are you watching this?

Yes, I'm watching this infomercial that NBC is playing tonight. I'm not sure if they just really really support him or if they just wanted his money. I've never been a political person. I've never really discussed it outloud, outside of my house and immediate family at least. I've never really declared outloud who I was voting for. I say not really b/c my views really weren't that different from the people I was discussing the views so I never really had to declare outloud who I was voting for. However, these past few months I've just been lashing out. You probably shouldn't read any more of this post if you are pro-Obama.



I do not like Barack Obama. I am not voting for him. I don't know why anyone would. I don't know why the supporters truly canNOT see past his suit. What has he done for this country? What is he going to do for this country? What is he going to do to this country? If he could back up anything he says, I don't think I'd have such a problem with him. But he can't. And he flip-flops. I don't know what he stands for. I don't think I'll ever know.



I watched some of his ridiculous infomerical tonight. I especially loved the part where a spokesperson said that Obama has Kansas roots. Obama has Kansas roots like I have South Carolina roots. My mom spent the first few years of her life in South Carolina so I can claim Carolina roots right, even though I was born and raised in Alabama. I thought he was born in Hawaii? Lived there for a little bit and then moved to Indonesia for awhile? I guess it wouldn't have sounded good to say he's proud of his Indonesian roots. Give me a break, people! I stopped watching the infomercial after that. It's nonsense! I can think of a few other things to call it but I'll just stick with that and not let his antics get the best of me.



WHY the do you want someone to run this GREAT nation (whether you think it's great or not is your opinion but I like the fact that I have more clothes than I know what to do with...even if I don't like most of them, I do have plenty to stayed clothed).....WHY do you want someone to run this great nation who has the middle name of Hussein? Or the first name Barack? Or the last name Obama? Heck, I don't have any kids but there are certain names that I definitely will not be using when the point comes for me to have kids. If you think there is not much meaning to names, I beg to differ. But anyway. And why was he called Barry as a kid and now it's Barack? To me, there's a whole lot of difference between "Barry" and "Barack." Again..give me a break!

There are a lot of things that are making headlines in this country. To me, this isn't about universal healthcare or gay marriage or even taxes. It's about living in a country that is FREE that is NOT under tyranny rule. It's about living in a country where I am allowed to speak my own language and make up my own words like "Hone your hornk!" (This is Trish-speak for "Honk your horn.") All I can do between now and Nov 4 is speak my mind via this post and a couple of other outlets and PRAY PRAY PRAY.

Back to Basics

After doing some reading this morning it has become clear who I will be rooting for in next week's election. I didn't take the usual route of FoxNews or MSN or CNN or Snopes, but found my information the old fashioned way. How? Remember that song...."the Bible tells me so" ??

"A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man's heart directs him toward the left."
Eccl. 10:2

All in good fun of course, but there is some pretty good stuff in that Book. Who needs Oprah's Book Club? :)

Good night, Sleep tight

I posted the link to this video about a month ago, but in light of the tragedies facing the country I wanted to post the video.  These stories remind us that we really should seize each day that is given to us.  That's all--each day is given to us.  It's not something we deserve.

Moment of Clarity

Good Monday Morning!

I was reading over my last post of the night from last night and realized that it makes no sense. :)

When I got onto the blogging scene a couple of years ago, it would always take me so long to write a blog because I would go over and over and over what I wrote, making sure everything made sense, as though I was writing a research paper. After all the hard work, the site I was using would--more often than not--freeze up or produce an error and all my words would be gone. Poof! Then I would get frustrated and walk away with a blank screen.

Now I tend to write whatever is in my head and as you can see that doesn't always work out. With Blogger I really don't have the problem of losing my words and ideas so I don't get as frustrated. But anyway...what I was trying to get across in that last post was this--

The video I posted is not new. It's a few years old, but I came across it and had to post it. It's really inspiring. Also, I didn't buy the cd when it first came out, but more like a year or so afterwards. Not that it even matters that I clear that up, but I did so now you can go on with your morning. Ha! :)

See ya 'round!

Last post of the night

I've been focusing my musical palate toward Jason Mraz in the past few weeks. He's got this sound that is groovin' and relaxin' and inspirin'. I know it's been a few years since he flew onto the scene. I do have his cd from when he first came out (or probably more like a year after he came out) but I never listened to it that much. I came across this video a short while back and found it very inspirational. It's 3 minutes short, and I love the view on life provided.





Have a great weekend!
