Howard Fineman has a reasonable analysis of the current political landscape. Essentially it is business as usual.
I must have a low opinion of human intelligence but the ingenuity employed in naming blogs amazes me. The actual blogs often leave much to be desired, sort of like movies with cool titles and trailers but are actually just medicore films. Even so, I read good blogs more often than I expect too. Actually, very seldom do I ever see blogs with unimaginative titles. (like Who is Idahosa Edokpayi?)
I have a confession to make. I am addicted to hotornot.com. I don't actually spend alot of time rating people or checking my rating. I like reading the profiles and seeing what they say. Hotornot also has a "meet me" feature which has demonstrated to me how little discrimination I employ when choosing potential dates. I think it is a sign that I am shallow and superficial; I don't mind being shallow and superficial - I do mind the creeping suspicion of dumb/naive that comes with it. What is worse, is that the entire problem is in my head. 99% of all my problems are mental. I have always felt that if I could master the mental aspects of a challenge my body would always follow - I am actually capable of anything. Don't laugh! I have superpowers! :) Who else do you know who has ever dropped a pen and kicked it back into his hand, and reflexively catches every object thrown at him?
It's friday night and I am home. I am sinking deeper and deeper into the sands of loserdom. Somebody get me out of here! I should at least workout (which I have neglected to do since Tuesday) but I am feeling sleepy and lazy and don't want to do it. I have to get up early again to work tomorrow with my good friend Ed - he wanted me to be at his house at 7 am, but we both know that would never happen. I should go to sleep then, but I went to bed early yesterday and got up at 4:44 am! Horrible! I've been up since. (Well except for sleeping in Ed's van on the road while traveling in betwen jobs. Next Monday can't come soon enough!
