grind

the desire to stay loan free has turned me into a monster.

avg. temp in my apt for last month was 47F. all of my silverware [and pepper] is stolen. i haven't done laundry since labor day (so, like 2 months ago) and probably won't until thanksgiving. i lack one working light bulb, so i rotate the ones that work into fixtures i am near. and i'm interested in learning how to siphon gas, with some class.

i'm waiting for a family member to win the lotto.

my friend sam.

so our boy brian is getting married out in manchester (new hamp). sammy, out of dc, is meeting up. here's a little dialogue...

7. SEVEN. 7.

first post of the new year...i couldn't wait:



ONLY SEVEN MORE DAYS OF BUSH!!!!!!!


count'em.

prop8

so a lot has happened since this overdue post (no apologies). america elected president obama. alaskan sen. ted stevens lost his seat but may have retained his stained glass windows. bradbury's and co. took a trip to viroqua, wi to do a cupping and meet the talent behind kickapoo coffee (and drink beer in a cemetery). on a lower key, i took an audition in d.c. - i would have told you if i won, so keep to your seat.

on a similarly sad note, california dropped the ball and prop 8 passed, banning same-sex marriages. i know it has been almost a month since the election, but this is still bothering me.

a good friend of mine turned me onto this editorial by mr. keith olbermann...





as always, mr. olby is emotional and gushy - but he says it right. it is inconceivable how america can elect a black man as its executive, but can't allow gays and lesbians equal rights as everyone else.

he also talks about love. something that supporters of prop8 seem to disregard. when he discusses sham marriages and forced marriages, i couldn't help but think of sarah palin's pregnant daughter, bristol. throughout september, the palin-mccain't campaign said that bristol would get married to the father of her child. true love.

if a 17 year old nobody is forced into a marriage by her parents due to a pregnancy ignited by "hey, i think you're pretty, let's take a study break...", then who could possibly stand in the way of two professionals who contribute to their communities, who are seeking a same-sex marriage? or a lesbian retired couple who have been together for over sixty years, who go to church, and are seeking the spousal rights that are missing from civil unions that marriage offers?


ugh.

All you fools in Madison who are lost, get it on here.


Pay attention to tomorrow night's debate, Joe Biden v. Sarah Palin. If you have any inclination to vote for McCan't, be wise and check her out since she might grab a hold of the reigns if John....dies.


I am voting for Barack Obama.
