am i a nerd b/c i was literally glued to the tv watchin live covered of the senate on cspan?? yea, probably but don't judge me :)
after almost falling asleep, decided to go pay the landlord. he franchises a robecks up the street from our apt, so very convenient; plus i loooove smoothies (2nd fav beverage, after water) so it's great when he makes me a free 1... when i told him it was good chattin w/ him but must get back to watch the news b/c senate approved $700 bill (no longer called a bail out, but a "rescue plan"). he then shook his head & said politics is politics and it's not going to benefit "us" anyway, i agreed, but was tempted to (jokingly) say that palin claims she's here for the average joe 6 packs, so maybe hope isn't lost for "us"... heard some commentator say at the rate the economy's going joe 6 pack may only be able to afford 3, ha!
after switching back & forth from msnbc to fox (i like the differing biases)... a lot of speculation about palin's performance tomorrow nite & showing (good) clips of debates she had running for gov & (not so good) clips from katie couric interview- i.e. she couldn't name a supreme court ruling she disagreed w/; she reads every paper ever; she'll be back right after these messages w/ examples of her running; lastly & possibly most appalling she'd "counsel" girls who are victims of rape and/or incest to choose life, that just doesn't make since to me...
in other news, watchin comedy central now & realized a new season of south park comes on next wednesday!! when did the colbert report get so funny?? if you saw it tonite you'd get the following hilarious quotes: "campbell's gonna make me mmm mmm rich!"; "sarah palin gutted joe biden & wore him like a pants suit"; "one nation under gay-baby"
lastly, for the the 1st time in vibe's history (15 yrs) they're endorsing a candidate: john mccain, ha! jkjk they endorsed obama... ok enough blogging. off to go look over a powerpoint for work. yeaaaaaa for presentations?! surprisingly yea b/c i like practicing my public speaking in front of different audiences. goodnite & goodluck :)

skipping my morning cup o' joe??
allow me to reintroduce myself ... ok not really, but that songs in my head b/c i was listening to jayz all am as i was working it out on the treadmill!! (yes, yes i was running at 6am as i have that 10k in 3 days... better late than never right??)
bbc world news is the best thing to watch in the am, until i discovered msnbc's morning joe! bbc news is still amazing, but morning joe (think it took imus' old spot?) had a good mix of news & "news you can't use" (random stories) to hold my attention...yes, hold my attention :)
willie is great, joe is joe (a neo-conservative?), but mika seems perturbed about something... you may remember her from the ripping up paris hilton story but it seems like for the past few weeks mika's been a bit angry... this am her & joe were going back and forth about if cbs and/or cbs news knew about mccain blowing off david letterman to do a katie couric interview the same afternoon. after working out i found their banter a bit much for the tired, happy state i was in. which brings me to the title of the blog, think i may watch the show like every other day, i can't deal w/ condescending comments so early in the am... plus i like the bbc reporter's accents better!
outside of that so far so good on this (chilly) thursday morn. after being stuck in random traffic i was rushing to metro, and was told i was "fine as all outdoors" so that's always nice... then ran into a buddy who liked my hair, but not bush or the cbc (congressional black caucus, not canadian broadcast channel for you slowskis). he said he's going to crash an event this week b/c he "doesn't respect them b/c no one's stood up against the bailout bill or even come before america to explain what the bailout would mean for everyday folks"... he's offbeat funny, an intelligent kid, just didn't realize he had a radical side... we went on to talk about motorcycles, bikes (he would never ride his bike outside of takoma park b/c he may run into someone he knows & be embarrassed), some kids he found for me to adopt, etc. the usual banter...
songs of the day:
santogold's "anne"
justice's "dance".... this song rocks!! if you have nothing else to do you should check out the video for their song stress b/c it's 35% entertaining, 65% disturbing but an all around great, creative music video (click here to see it)

presidential address...
how come bush never has a presidential address to say "hi" to the good folks of america? it's always something big, usually bad (i.e. war, sexual relations w/ a woman, natural disasters, etc). fyi there's noooooooooooooooooo waaaaaaaaay the presidential debates are going to be canceled this friday, sowwy mccain time to start cramming those talking points!
random, but does anyone know if it's against policy for security guards to hit on store patrons?? as i was waiting in line at tmobile store, the guard was chatty cathy so i talked back since i wasn't going anywhere fast... now i know his life story, including how many hrs/week he works, where his brother works, what he was doing after 7pm, what he likes to order at starbucks, where his mom got his name from (a cowboy from some 80s soap opera she was in love w/)! he asked me out for coffee and i thought about it for 10 seconds though... no, not b/c he was cute but b/c i was tired and there was a coffee shop up the street. but i gracefully declined (i later reported this incident to smoe and he was proud)...

this week's headlines...
well folks it's that time again where i dump the things i've seen/heard/tweeted/texted oh and talked about recently...
Possible mortgage fraud??? john lewis said it best when he spoke to hu’s graduating class of 2006 (my class!!) by simply saying, “it’s bigger than you”! contrary to what some may believe there’s def a world outside of your personal buppy cocoon, outside of wall street, outside of the hill, etc. the (bad) decisions made by a few effect all of us. I’m still going to grad school, but since economy’s sketch guess I have to take even more time (or actually start) to see what grants/loans are still available. Also, at my kid save meeting on Monday, they mentioned how a lot of adoption/foster care organizations in the area were nervous pervis about the upcoming year since freddie mac foundation funded most of them :(
speaking of the kids, EPA, testing on a kid near you? I’m not a huge fan of ankle biters (kids…other than my lovely niece) but it’s insane EPA approved “legalized human subject experimentation” last february…and canceled an observational study using “early life stages age groups” earlier this month.
i'll admit it, i don’t know much about racing except ralph dale earnhardt jr, the president of FIA (max mosley) is into kinky nazi sex, & lewis hamilton is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!... apparently he was on trial, but lost the appeal
Pull it together mccain campaign! Apparently the lobbying firm of rick davis, mccain’s campaign manager, was on the payroll of freddie mac up until last month (read article)
oh, the japanese are always reaching for the starts…literally! apparently scientists in japan are trying to build an elevator to the stars
Ok, enough of that on to the real news:
speaking of japan… I was reading my time mag on the train this am
(trying to hurry and read all the mags I subscribe to give em to a coworker for her kid’s school) I came across a piece about “what they’re wearing in japan”. Since I used to be obsessed with tshirts, thought it was cool they profiled a shirt (pic on right) which apparently was created after (outgoing prime minister) Yasuo Fukuda replied "I can see myself objectively. I'm not like you." to a reporter who asked if he gave his time in office his all.
Peta asks ben & jerry to use human breast milk in their ice cream instead of cow’s milk ... is it just me or are there bigger fish to fry?? no pun intended peta i don't fry fish, i bake it :)
Sex on tracks will break your back? is it ever that serious?? i think not!
Came across this yesterday, and thought it was touching so wanted to share... pics of how kids in mexico view the drug problem
Per diana ross’ 80s hit “I’m coming out” apparently stars are finally ready to let their business all hang out...clay aiken (clearly) & lindsey lohan came out recently. side note: seems like it would've been fun growing up in samantha ronson’s family, so much creative talent… now I’m just waiting for anderson cooper to admit it, but I doubt he will!
lastly, a pic is worth 1,000 words, not $3million loser! even if you're at a diddy party, you must not let yourself go and be mindful of paparazzi... especially if you're a hedge fund manager these days
songs of the day:
cool kids (such a great duo): black mags
sam cooke: a change is gonna come
