So Annoying


This gets me so heated.

Bush is complaining about a $30 billion increase to help poor children in this country, but has no problem spending trillions of dollars fighting a war in Iraq. He'll pay for death, but not for the health and well being of Americans.

Just embarrassing.

The You Tube Debates

Talk about fusion. I'm into tech & web 2.0 products and CNN and YouTube are bringing that philosophy together very nicely. The web will actually be used by the people for the people.

The CNN/YouTube debates will have people submitting questions to candidates via You Tube. Even though CNN (Anderson Cooper) will pick which questions candidates will answer, I'm hoping young people 18-40 year olds will get questions answered that pertain to them. Over 1,300 videos have been submitted.

So, those of you with an webcams, put on some clothes, throw on a shirt and ask Hilary, Obama and Mike Gravel "What have they done for you lately?" (another janet jackson reference).

All Night Session

Who cares that 3,600 soldiers have died and more are wounded? We need to stay in Iraq and not address the mismanagement of this war.

That's the message the Republican party is giving to the American people. As the anti-war sentiment grows and the election antics intensify Democrats will have more ammunition to confront the Elephants on Iraq.

The Democrats may have lost the battle on the defense bill, but I believe this is just part of the plan to get a Democrat in the executive office to clean up the mess G.W Bush made.

Rain Keeps Falling...Down


I awoke this morning to thunder and rain so loud that I had to make sure my windows were shut in the apartment. I love the rain when I can curl up in bed and listen to it clobber the side of the building, but when you have to get up and go to work that love turns offensive.

The A train was working, but the D train was so packed that no one could board. So I jumped back on the A, took it to the closest stop and walked five avenues, which is like three blocks each, to work. I have a large umbrella that didn't work as well as I wanted because the spokes kept becoming dislocated from fabric. Imagine, I walk inside a deli, get my coffee and sandwich, open my umbrella and half of it is flopping in the wind. That just made the commute more frustrating. At least people at work, refrained from giving me a hard time. I surely wasn't in the mood.

Speaking of moods. A cloud has descended. It's temporary, but that's how I'm feeling now.

Weekend

Nothing like waiting in line at an amusement park to catch up with friends. Topics of discussion were my Sprint (phone carrier drama) and the "sights" around the park. Believe me, there was lots to see. I'll post pics later.

Now, I'm at work and tired. I will post pics later today. (Didn't I say that already)

Isn't this alarming??


Do we need Robots that are faster than humans and named Runbot. I just hope they are Autobots?

Seriously, I guess it's important to have self learning machines that run faster than human beings. Hmmmm Haven't we learned from Minority Report, iBot, Terminator, Matrix...and Transformers.

The list goes on.

The Anaconda Park


Yep and I'm headed there this weekend.

Kings Dominion is part of my experience as a child. I think it was the first experience with roller coasters i.e. The King Cobra and Rebel Yell. Someone died on The King Cobra years ago and they replaced it with the Anaconda (I love that name).

So, think of me this weekend eating my funnel cake. The pic is almost accurate. My funnel cake will have strawberries and whip cream. Yummy!

I should have pics of my time down there.

Laundry


It seems like Laundry is just never ending.

I have dirty clothes in the living room to remind me to do them. What is so hard about doing them. There's a 24 hour laundry place across the street, but it doesn't have wi-fi (it's password protected now). What can I do?

I can wash my clothes! One stack at a time!
