A republican even I would vote for...

One very very smart man!

Just showing some love.....

An attorney friend of mine dropped off an Obama For President sign for me.

Of course, I stuck it out in my front yard. Makes my house look so much.....smarter?

Dave do you mean like this?

Amazing video

My son skateboards and he likes to watch video's of other skateboarders. I found this piece of footage on sidesalad.net. It is the most amazing skating I have ever seen. Hope the salad man doesn't mind me borrwing it. I will return it when I am finished. Thanks :)

I don't yet know how to make the video appear in my blog. If someone wishes to educate me I am open to learning. Enjoy the video and try not to move in your seat. Here's the link:

Catching some Z's

I am one of many unfortunate people who have trouble sleeping. It usually takes me forever to get to sleep and then once I am asleep, it's not that quality sleep that we need. The sleep where you are dreaming some weird dream. I usually toss and turn and never really get any. It's killing me.
I get bad sinus headaches and the only thing that works is Advil Sinus and Cold. It happens to be the stuff you can't buy over the counter any longer. You have to show your drivers licence, give your name and address etc.....because some wacko in Kentucky or Alaska has decided to turn it into Meth.

Anyway....so it's take the Advil, which makes my mind race with the same thoughts over and over....or....suffer as my head pounds. I don't know which is worse, my mind racing or the head pounding.

I wish I could take something that would make me sleep for about 12 hours straight. I know when I do get a good night's sleep, which is about once every month or so....I feel so much better. I can think straight, I can perform better at my job and I am not tired during the day. I have suffered with these headaches for 10 years now. And the sleep issue is going on about the same amount of time. Its going to cause an early death I just know it. I get up at 5 am every day and get to work about 6:30 til about 4pm. At my job it's none stop multi-tasking. My mind is in 3 or 4 places at once. I do enjoy what I do though.

So here I sit at 2:02 a.m. wanting sleep, needing sleep....but sleep won't come.
Wishing I was.....

Nothing new....

I haven't posted lately. Nothing new to say. Obama is up in the polls, that's good. McCain and Palin still get on my nerves. Looking forward to tomorrow's debate. Should be interesting. I know Joe likes run on and on so I hope he is on his best behavior.

What I miss.......

Colorblind

Yahoo featured a story stating some Democrats will vote for McCain because they don't want to vote for Obama because he is black. I just don't get it.


To me, skin is just a covering. I know it's the body's largest organ, yadda yadda yadda....but it really is just a protective covering. No one has any control over what color skin they were born with. Some white people want to be more tan. I myself wouldn't mind having olive colored skin. I would love to look like the Italian girl that I am. But I wasn't blessed with the olive skin. I was given peachies and cream and am happy with that.


I don't understand how someone can vote for someone who goes against most of the principal beliefs they hold because their skin color is white. Barack Obama has the same basic beliefs and principles I have. That is why I will vote for him in November to be our next president. If this man does not win because there are people out there so bigoted, narrow minded, ignorant as to not vote for someone because their skin is brown, then these people deserve everything that has happened in the last 8 years and every negative thing that WILL happen in the next 4 years.


It breaks my heart, physically makes me ill, knowing there are people like this. I married a man of color. He is Spanish. He is college educated, provides a wonderful home and life for me and our son. He is loving and kind.

My father did not and does not like him because his skin is not white like mine and his own. No matter how hard my husband tried to please my father and be respectful to him, he could not get past the fact that his skin is dark. I have come to the conclusion that it is HIS problem and not ours. He lost out on a great relationship with a great son-in-law.


I was raised believing people of different races don't mix and that people of color are "beneath white people". Once I became an adult and could think for myself, I realized what my parents were teaching me was wrong. I refused to raise my son in that manner. My son has had friends of every race, religion and sexual preference.


I trully hope that these people who are saying they won't vote for Obama because he is black, will see the error of their ways and realize that he is the man this country needs. I wish for one day, November 4th 2008, every American was colorblind.
