On a serious note, I sat with Vero in Jackson Memorial today waiting for her mom to come out of surgery. Things proceeded and everything is okay but while we were waiting there was a woman who may have been late 40's but looked haggard, obese, and had obvious health issues that put her in an electronic wheelchair. Our conversation began easy enough with talk of Grey's Anatomy, McDreamy vs. McSteamy, I'm guessing her loneliness was too much as she was jumping at the chance to talk to us on any topic. She made it a point to stick her finger down her throat and imitate vomiting noises at the revelation that the actor who plays George O'Malley on GA is gay. I didn't know how to respond to that one as we were in a WAITING room so I let it go.
We browsed the newsweek for the 50 things that could change your life this year and somehow we came across Obama's book and a quick snip. I mention it to Vero and the humanitarian of the year pipes in again against Obama and against Hillary. At this point I really wished I was a meaner person, but I just held my liberal head in position and waited for the ignorance to subside. Veronica, tried to actually reason with the Republican.
Later we discussed that its not us vs. them, but ignorance vs. enlightened. Who is on what side is tbd, but I know that for sure if Obama is placing his platform so that red and blue states can work together I'm all for it.
If not our generation is going to keep waiting, waiting on the world to change.

Late night blogging
So apparently the fates were in my favor this morning as I returned late (say 4:30am) at home with a desire to write. I wrote a blog at that time under the influence and I have to say the first thing I thought of this morning was OHMYGOD what did I say...
Nevertheless I was too busy to go online and delete this morning. However, when I went to go see what folks had been commenting on I saw the Gods of myspace never posted my rantings!
It just disappeared into thin air! Ever so grateful for that twist of fate I decided to write another.
Current things that I'm amused with:
Crickets, I can hear them outside my window now that the unbearable heat of being has lessened to a moderate temperature.
My friends, they never cease to amaze me with the the ideas and things they throw at me as plausible actions for my life to move towards. I.e.
"Yes, female brothels are very common Michelle! You should go and try it out! Then come home and tell me about it.." or
"You're the more reserved one out of all my friends Michelle, most women I know have already slept with other women by your age." or
"There's a lot of things happening in the rest of Florida and the real estate market is in your favor now"
"You should really try pretending to be that famous girl you look like, I bet you could get free stuff"
"Michelle, I could never hook you up with one of my friends... I'd only hook you up with a good guy and my friends are assholes, are you looking to date assholes now?"
"You see! They do have happy ending massages for women!"
I can't go on...
My resurrected Ipod, it died a slow sad death before I went to the Vineyard this summer
I resurrecected it and have it almost back to welterweight fighting status. It isn't color, click wheel, video, or even nano-fied, but hells bells that little bitch works and I LOVE IT!
Vocabulary, I sometimes feel as if mine is shrinking by the minute and I'm forced to read random clinical papers online to make my brain feel like its being challenged.
Couchsurfing.com, if you have any wanderlust in you and are not jaded by your experience with humanity, you should check out this site. I have been involved for a couple of years now and have had a great experience hosting folks from all over the world.
Vodka & Pinot Noir, I love drinking Pinot Noir lately its soooo good and well damn it, it makes me happy in a "i'm in the first row during dance class" kind of way... Vodka makes me happy in a way that I pay for later, however I had to mention that theres a Vodka called Effen.
"hey mister, gimme an Effen Vodka martini!"
There and back again, Sean Astin wrote a book and I bought it from the dollar bin at Borders. He's so blindingly honest.
Quote of the day: "I can't look at you, because the truth is...I'm blinded by your magnificence" -AR

ps. Sorry I was gone for so long...
