Yeah, I wish. Wouldn't that be a cool thing? Hell I would even campaign for that. Out of my incredibly busy schedule I will find time to help make it happen. I kid you not. But hell... that'll never happen... So this is yet another fairly depressing election. I decided not to vote for the primary. Honestly I don't really like anyone in particular right now. I heard on the radio or maybe it was the TV this morning something I've been saying for a while. I think it's awesome we have a black man running. Notice I didn't say "african american", I said black. After all I don't say "female american" for the other candidate. I'm tired of this politically correct bullshit. Anyway, point is, somebody mentioned it's great that he talks about hope and change and move forward and some such... but where is the substance? I don't see any of that, it's actually a little depressing. I was watching the news this morning and there was yet another investigative report. So what if Hillary was the board of Walmart. People are so fricking hypocritical. This company is successful because it has a clear vision and great execution. People may not agree with they way they run the business, but hey, it's the 10th(?) largest economy in the WORLD by itself, and there are great reasons for that. People want to turn the board member thing against her. I think that's a more or less desperate move. The roles of unions are getting more and more marginalized. The AFL/CIO does not hold as much power then it did before. The whole reason to have a union is to gain bargaining power. With the advance of information technology, people are more and more aware of the rights they have when it comes to employment. With the exception of the SEIU, the union is becoming obsolete. I starting to not like watching the news.
Anyway, I had too much coffee this morning I think. It's not even 9 in the morning and I'm sitting in the union ranting. I have a pretty damn good reason for it. I got up early so I can find parking. It took me 5 minutes instead of my 45 minutes then ending up at park-and-ride like Tuesday. It's not that bad, it's actually about 45 later then I had to get up last semester, and I get to eat before I head out. I think I'll have to do that from now on. Ah well.
I got all of my classes. This semester I'm only taking 15 unites. Yeah I said only. I took 18 last semester. But I think there's actually going to be more work this semester, seeing they're mostly capstone seminars. Did I mention those are the last classes I need to take? Yeah it looks like I get to walk this May.
I honestly don't know what I want to do after this. I just want to put my head down and get done with it.
The new-ish Foo Fighters album is pretty good. I finally got around to listen to it. I wish they were going to play closer then Oakland. I would have gotten tickets for it.

I don't have much interest in any of the candidates either. I'm just not impressed. I'm tired of the news too, and have given up watching it until we have a new president. Political Correctness grinds on my nerves to no end. Obama is Black and running. Super, only because it's a first. Is he likable? Sure, so much so I think he's the antiChrist. :oP He's saying a lot that the people want to hear, but don't they all? But I'm right there with you, where is the substance? I'm not seeing it in what he's bringing to the table.
ReplyDeleteAs for Hilary, I'll bite my tongue hard and we'll keep it at that. Gore-Powell, eh? Hmmmmm.
You're down to your very last classes, huh? How are you feeling knowing that May is just around the corner? :)

ReplyDeletemaybe another trip is called for... I need to visit baby E ^_^
