I would also like to point out to all the people who made fun of me when I worked for the Green Party, that even f-ing wal-mart is publicising how they are making trendy t-shirts out of recycled coke bottles. So now the message is 'Buy buy buy! but only if it's recycled and organic'
I want my 'use less stuff' bumpersticker back.
Point being, empty corporations making empty claims about their new and improved 'GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK' gear can suck it. They are really not getting the point. And yes it's nice that people are waking up but seriously, can I get a bit of common sense for earth day?
There is no reason to go to extremes and be freegan and only wear recycled clothing, but going on buying sprees to ease your emotional stress or insisting on driving everywhere and taking three showers a day is a little silly. Just a little lifestyle modification goes a long way. I don't have time for a coherent argument so we'll just end this rant here.
p.s. everyone go to gov. henry's website and tell him he's a good guy.

It's oklahoma, I understand, we don't like people who aren't 'like us'.
If we focused on bringing up the economies of developing nations, maybe this wouldn't be an issue. I know, it's a huge and complicated issue and it upsets a lot of people but seriously, what is the big deal? What are we afraid of?
Did I mention that all brown people are not terrorists? And how deeply is our educational system failing? /rhetorical question
Ok, enough of that, just a response to some idiotic comments from the state's population.
In other news, the weather is fantastic and tornado making today. I absolutely adore the pre-thunderstorm pressure. It's tense and humid and quiet. The atmosphere is on the edge of climax. What we call good weather in Oklahoma includes blistering heat and wind that causes cars to veer off the road. But when it's time for some dramatic rain and explosive lightning, I am mesmerized. Thermo-dynamics in action today, and I'm going to be doing laundry and watching from the porch. I will miss that about Oklahoma. Thunderstorms and porches.

By willful ignorance
You have to believe
Mercy has its own country
And that it's round and borderless
And then you have to grow wings
And rise above it all"

It's Saturday night and I am (see above). I think this can only serve to emphasis how little of a social life I actually have.
Moving on...
Hilary is getting more and more aggressive as the day goes on, and I think it's making her look bad. This week in politics has been ludicrous. My favorite was when people started raising a ruckus because Obama stole some language from his friend. Newsflash: NO ONE writes their own speeches. EVERYONE steals and paraphrases things that have been said before. We wouldn't know what to do if we didn't hear the same recycled populist phrases each and every election.
2. Why is McCain attacking Obama using Clinton's rhetoric, unless they are threatened?
The weather has changed dramatically today. So Oklahoma.
Today is painting and hanging out, tomorrow is trial run dog sitting with Misha and my first day of coffee nerd training. Luckily, I have been in training for this since I was 11 and my dad bought me my very own first espresso machine.
(and you all wondered why I have that twitch) I need to find a birthday present for my mum for Thursday. Any suggestions?
Also, still trying to pick a grad school, and wondering how to gauge a community I have never been to. I can't really afford the plane tix to visit, and my car has 100,000plus miles on it. I also don't know how many days in a row I can take off work and lie about. I'm thinking about Amtrak.
Beautiful, three part harmonies blending with a great sense of humor. Mandolins, drums, banjos and at least three guitars.
They definitely connected with the audience, and being Yankees, had to ask what chicken fried steak means.
I was a huge fan of Nate's 'tuning' banter and I couldn't take my eyes off the girls. Ty's impeccable timing and highly expressive face unified the group while Doris was hitting those high notes like she was doing the only thing in life that quieted her soul.
I was impressed, and that's rare.

We torture people, no one wants to talk about it, instead lets talk about DRUGS IN SPORTS!
Never mind the fact that we have primaries happening. SPORTS!
