-Politico.com headline


so first she said it's up to the voters.
then she said it's up to the superdelegates.
now, she's saying it's up to privately pledged superdelegates.

One of the things that I learned in the school yard was: the folks that are talking tough all the time, they’re not always that tough. If you’re really tough, you’re not always looking to try to start a fight. If you’re really tough, sometimes you just walk away. If you’re really tough, you just save it for when you really need it.

-Barack Obama

my roommates are usually away on the weekends and so i get the room all to myself. reminds me of times when the folks are away and i get the house all to myself. i like it.

i like being alone. yes, it can get all loser-like sometimes but reading a book in some cafe alone can be really really swell. i watch movies alone sometimes. i try out a new food place alone sometimes. i get lost in a new city alone sometimes. i spend sundays alone sometimes.

sometimes, yes, i am forced to spend time alone. say, no one is simply available. especially on sundays when everyone is with family. but most times, it simply is a choice to be alone. an excellent choice at that.

okay.
i sound like i am over-rationalizing, merely sugarcoating such a dreadful lonely lifestyle. i do admit it can get really dull and dreary but what i find interesting is how i catch myself laughing at myself for thinking how the day's suddenly all dull and dreary.

yes, laugh at yourself. sometimes, it is all it takes to save the day.


lisnin to Falling Slowly from Once
sorta readin The Hobbit. thanks rob and steph for your geekiness.
feelin kinda stinky. sunday is no bath day.

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
-Glen Hansard in Once

“Being asked tough questions in a debate is nothing like the pressures you face inside the White House,” Clinton said Friday. “In fact, when the going gets tough, you just can’t walk away because we’re going to have some very tough decisions that we have to make. I think we need a president who can take whatever comes your way.”

The Clinton campaign has been complaining recently – more so since she has fallen behind – that the news media is tougher on her than Obama. Clinton also joked, "Maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow.” It's a tactic as old as politics: things aren't going well, blame the media.

i pray it would ease the tummy pain, this drink with fido on it.

somebody needed help the other night, can't remember the words but i said sure. another needed some too, but i didn't even consider replying.

how many times do i have to say NO... is this for saying YES one too many times... and just when you think the tummy pain is gone, you fall asleep...

only to wake up at seven realizing it still is there. go away.

 

lisnin to David Cook's Always Be My Baby we were as one babe
for a moment in time
and it seemed everlasting
that you would always be mine
now you want to be free
so I'm letting you fly

um...


well, apparently it did.

i'm back to my old rationalizing self again, always ready with an excuse at every turn. and it's pretty convenient and laidback and easy and breezy and all.

but it can get less and less interesting. worse, unproductive.
by wednesday, i'm going to have a more regular schedule thanks to this internship and i'm looking forward to being trained again. hooray.

but between now and wednesday, i hope it gets a lot easier to say for sure that it really did happen.


lisnin to 4 Minutes
sorta readin The Wisdom of Crowds, finished with Part 1 and i can't wait to read all of it.
feelin kinda gas-y.

did that

i know i'm supposed to make the move
but it would help





if you smiled a little bit longer.
