One cannot live on wedding plans alone.....
At point you will go crazy if you think of nothing but centerpieces, travel plans, rehearsal dinners and other mindful 'wedding' things.
A bride on the edge. Not good.
So here I am to share other randomness.....
1. NPR is my little secret. Why do I feel that I have to hide that? Is there some stigma attached to it? Is it 'uncool' to want to listen to more than just an ignorant talking head on a news channel that so obviously leans to the uber conservative? (Hint: the news channel begins with F and ends in X)
Why should I should I feel self-conscious about listening to current issues; stay up to date with world issues or listen to odd pieces of cultural trivia? Maybe, it's me. Maybe I place that assumption on others......
2. Election Year. As much as I advocate that the American voting base needs to be educated on the issues and not vote with their prejudices......I am getting OH SO tired of the political spin machine. I was even more frustrated by the ridiculous speeches given at the Republican Convention. Yeah, I watched it. It's always good to hear both sides of a story.....even if one is incredibly scary, misinformed and completely out of touch with reality.
I must say at this point that although I am a Democrat (leaning slightly more liberal than most) that I have never been more scared about a the chance of a Republican getting to office than I have been about Romney and Boy Wonder.
This is one hell of a scary election year. Yes, we are facing a national economic crisis, endless military actions, failing school systems, overburdened health care systems and misguided civil rights debacles - BUT the idea that a self-righteous, overzealous bigot with NO idea what the lower/middle class cross section of this country really needs is going to make that better.
Vote on the issues people not the party rhetoric.
3. What the hell is wrong with a school system that doesn't hire BEFORE the school year starts and has a English-speaking MATH teacher teaching a SPANISH class and a SPANISH-speaking teacher teaching a FRENCH class!!????
I weep for this country's future.
4. Why do you think that driving through the space between disabled parking spots is ok? Seriously?
Yesterday I stood in AWE of a woman who, seems to be the missing fucking link, drive between two parked cars (disabled parking spots) WHILE a man in a wheelchair was trying to get INTO his car. He saw this woman coming at him and I have never seen a more frightened and pissed off man in wheelchair.
Absolute disregard for the man or his disability.
Stand there silence....I did not. I proceed to shout at the woman and inform her of her ignorance and impatience. "YOU, woman, are the reason I hate Virginian drivers and WOMAN as a WHOLE get a bad rep." Bitch. Jez-sus.
5. Contacts are marvel of modern ingenuity. Until you get one stuck in your eye or rolled back in your head, touching your brain.
But I look so pretty. :)
6. Mosquitoes here in Virginia have me CONVINCED that someone in this hellish state is genetically modifying them to be as big as quarters and with the ability to breed uncontrollably with each generation getting bigger than the one before. Moreover, they are genetically modified to find their way into ANY area, be immune to EVERY BUG SPRAY known to mankind, take particular interest in Parker and Shadow and are engineered to be stronger than a fly swatter. Its a conspiracy....
End of randomness.
Carry On and see ya at the wedding.
