Politics
Every time you open your mouth, you take a chance of offending someone, somewhere, somehow.
Obama's first press conference. A joke about Nancy Reagan. And internet blogs go CRAZY.
Every politician in American history has made apologies. And, of course, it's front page material. Isn't something wrong with the media's coverage of our political ( Read more... ) -
Voting
It seems to me that there are at least two seemingly simple ways to improve the voting process in this country without scrapping the current way we go about it. The long lines and incredible waits could be somewhat remedied (in my mind) with two basic steps ( Read more... ) -
A blast from the past...
Does anyone else remember the good old days, when computer games were games? Recently I stumbled upon a site where all of the old classics, games that ran on DOS (yes, DOS!) are available for download.
But, Windows being Windows, you have to download a DOS emulator to play them. I've been using DosBox (www.dosbox.com), and haven't had any ( Read more... ) -
Dawgs
I'm going to try something a little different tonight...how about an entry on the UGA vs. Alabama football game? The dawgs are sporting the blackout jerseys, ESPN College Gameday is in town, and a win would almost guarantee us a #1 spot in national rankings.
GO DAWGS!
I'm keeping my eye on AJ Green for some amazing receptions, and of course Moreno ( Read more... ) -
Target Rules...
Today I had a job interview at Target. I had ironed my slacks, dusted off the ol' "Tim charm", and did my research. (By the way, Target gives 5% of their revenue back to communities and supports organizations including the Red Cross and Salvation Army, which I think is really cool. Adds up to 3 millions dollars per week.) Anyways, 11:00 rolled ( Read more... ) -
Studio Apartment 101
So my apartment has two rooms...a living room, and a bedroom.
BUT
I am living the future.
My apartment transforms.
That's right. Via movable wall/curtain... thing, I can actually change my apartment from a 1 bedroom to a studio.
HA! BEAT THAT!
Wow, I'm in kind of a satirical mood tonight. Hm.
Well, life as a grad student is good. I'm only in class ( Read more... ) -
Somehow, I always seem to return...
For whatever reason, a little boredom always brings me back to this journal. I've never been all that faithful to it. An entry here or there, or even a couple within a week...but then I leave again, living life and leaving my poor LJ in the past ( Read more... ) -
Oh those Reds...
Can anyone explain the rationale behind firing the manager of a struggling baseball team? Anyone....?
I could understand it if he clearly wasn't doing his job. But Jerry Narron did the best he could given the team we've put on the field this year. And how can the president of the Cincinnati Reds sit down and seriously say "no one can put a finger ( Read more... ) -
I'm here
Here goes,
I don't claim to know much. As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure I know nothing. And for that, I think I know more than most people. I sit here, write down my thoughts, and flip through my music library listening to a mix of songs from DMB, Queen, AC/DC, and Rascal Flatts. One could go so far as to say that the mix of music pretty ( Read more... )
