obama and your mama

I'm tired of hearing of all the Obama hype & hoopla. All he says is "change ... change... change!" I don't hear anything else. All he gets people riled up about is vague "change." Well, what kind of change? At least all of the other candidates talk about specifics. He's full of hype. A great speaker... a lot of hype. Here are my major oppositions:
He insisted to put his hand on the Koran, and not the Bible when sworn in as Senator (as has been done since our country was founded! ..on Biblical principals!) I am sooo opposed to someone leading our country who attended muslim school, even if it was just a year or few years. none the less he was there!) I don't want someone with that kind of influence in their life (the same teaching given to him, as what the World Trade Center killers, the Pentagon and the crash in Pennsylvania were brainwashed with) to lead our country!

Some who read this may think I'm prejudice. Well, considering what happened on Sept. 11, 2001 I think I have a right for my antennas to be up on this. I also know there is a majority who will agree with me. AND in a speech he gave in Wisconsin, Feb 08, he brought up the war and said "it was a war we should have never fought." (WHAT?) just let them come on in & bomb our country with out fighting back? uh,.. NO!

Another big concern is that he has been a senator for only 1 year.
I don't have a good feeling about him at all. There's probably some big oil heir in Iran or somewhere who funds him. And eventually Obama will sell out the U.S.

Hillary? are you kidding me? NO way. nooooo way. Do you remember when the Clinton's moved out of the White House at the end of Bill's term? they cleared it out. like a bunch of hoodlums. I, personally, do not want a woman for a president. Especially Hillary.
I loved this clip on The Colbert Report. I have never really watched him before, but I was channel surfing, and stopped for the relevance of this!


That takes us to the Republican candidates. McCain? eh, sure, not my first choice. My pick would be Huckabee if he can swing it.

oowee. that's probably my most controversial blog so far!

superbowl ads

a superbowl ad that never aired.

this made me laugh. it also has a great little story. You don't get what you were going for, your life takes a detour, but then you stumble into something so much more rewarding.

Here's one more that was funny:


and another that made me laugh out loud...


yes, Superbowl this year (XLII) was an exciting game. my dad was cheering for the Giants, the "underdogs." no one thought they'd win. So I was also hoping the Giants would win. And I must say it was a real exciting game! ...Hey Mannings, want to share some of the wealth?

personal space

I was out buying Valentines Day cards for my niece & nephew today. As I was standing in line (forever) waiting to purchase, the lady behind me stood very close to me. TOO close. I glanced back behind me and there was about one inch from my purse and her. I scooted up, she scooted up. Seriously? I wanted to offer my back and say "would you like to get on?" (for a piggy back ride) I just don't get it, I'm always aware of my surroundings, and not wanting to offend or 'perturb' people. Sure, it's a culture thing as well, and if I was standing in line in China I would just laugh at the experience, but when it's at home, you kind of want to turn around and say "Excuse me!" but then, I suppose those people aren't quite aware of it. So, here's my piece to bringing it out to the open.

"Let It Happen"

Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
I can laugh it off.

I can hear you now
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
And all the placings
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
I can laugh it off.

I had to include this: I love the title of her new album: "some people have real problems" by Sia. That's brilliant.

signed, "anonymous"

a·non·y·mous [uh-non-uh-muhs] –adjective

1.	without any name acknowledged, as that of author, contributor, or the like: an anonymous letter to the editor; an anonymous donation.

2.	of unknown name; whose name is withheld: an anonymous author.

3.	lacking individuality, unique character, or distinction: an endless row of drab, anonymous houses.

anonymous has no courage. no confidence to show face. it is ashamed, embarrassed, cowardly. anonymous is a weenie.

an anonymous letter holds no weight. "but what about an anonymous donation?" you say. "oh that means they're humble." they don't seek recognition. Sure, but entirely different circumstances, it is what you are doing - positive or negative (to bring down/cut/hurt or to lift up and help someone.)

stick with the phrase you learned long ago from your mother: "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." and identify yourself!

I love to watch football!

I love watching football (soccer). Even though I am an American it still seems proper to me to call it football. So pardon me, fellow Americans, I’ve just got to call soccer—football. (Even though I've grown up in a die-hard football family, I still love American football. ...this is getting too confusing.) I have found that can sit there and watch a whole match. The past couple days I’ve caught 2 games, and I know I have other things to do, but watching the football match takes precedence! My trips to England, Scotland and Portugal must have had an influence. I think it’s so cool to see such a universal sport. Anywhere you travel around the world you’ll see children, and big kids playing soccer/ football/ futbol. Even though I’ve never played (I always wished I had… anyone know any soccer leagues for women beginners?) I am catching on to the rules & penalties to the game, but overall it seems pretty simple.

So my wish is to someday attend a game in England or in Europe someday. The energy of the crowd would be exhilarating to be apart of—especially when it involves rivals, such as Manchester United ... Liverpool ... West Ham United... Birmingham. (actually I really have no clue who the main rivals are, I just know that when the rivals play, nothing else matters, but the game!)

cleaning up

this made me smile.

“I wanted to remind everyone that the New Year is a good time to keep up with your computer maintenance. Perhaps you didn't realize that, in addition to dusting your screen from the outside, it's necessary to clean it from the inside where you normally can't wipe.
