So, a little while ago I posted about how it might be okay if and when my mom started to date again, and lo and behold, she’s going on a date on Friday night. That’s so weird to say. I called her up because I was suspicious based on her Facebook status messages, and this…
Can You Call Obama a Socialist? Socialists say “No.”
Digg had a good article today (surprisingly not at all technology related) from the Chicago Tribune where they actually talked to legitimate Socialists in the USA about McCain’s calling Obama a “Socialist” after his comment about “spreading the wealth around” being good for everybody. I’ve had several friends post really hateful comments on my Facebook…
Dead On The Inside
I tell ya, life: it’s crazy! But you know that already, because you’re alive, too. Or are you? ARE YOU? Oh God. I killed another one. Words are powerful, never forget that kids. Did you see me just kill a guy with my blog post? Yeah. Never take life for granted. As alive as I…

Light at the End of the Tunnel
The financial crisis in the economy has some light at the end of the tunnel, at least for me. I realized today as I started to get a knot in my stomach about how tight things had become in my budget, that there’s plenty of hope and I’m not at all in a bad situation.…
Is It Still Safe to Invest in Stocks?
With the stock market as a whole plummeting to dire straits, you would think it would be time to bail out before you lose all your assets, right? Wrong. That’s the problem facing the market right now: a self-perpetuating failure. People see the market plummet, so they’re taking out their money and causing it to plummet more. …
It May Already Be Too Late
I am not usually too easily swayed by comments on a Digg.com article, but today I most certainly was alarmed, intrigued even. Digg was running a story about an army brigade being stationed here in the U.S. for domestic missions, including Federal response to man-made disasters, terrorism, or to provide support in case of natural…
Sunday, Yummy Sunday
I’ve been pretty busy here at home in the kitchen over the weekend. Friday I fell asleep (more or less passed out) on Marq and Melissa’s couch down the road, and woke up Saturday morning and came home. I realized I needed to take advantage of the weekend to get some pre-cooking done. Now that…
Get Off Your Butt and Register to Vote
Tuesday is it for many of you. You have to have your voter registration in the mail and to the board of elections by your registration deadline, or you don’t get a say in America’s future. My friend posted this video on MySpace, and I thought about several of my friends who I’ve heard say…
