That's really all I have to say...
reflections on music, politics, life, scenes and dreams
After some consideration, I've decided that I will not sign up for Facebook. To my cousin in Tennessee, my friends and family in Denver, and my friends and co-workers in Portland, if you wanna get ahold of me, send me an e-mail. Otherwise, wake me when the next big thing hits the market. Maybe it won't revolt me as much as this incarnation of internet bollocks.
Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana and rising star in the Republican party responded to Obama's speech last night with a focus on what he considers pork. He derided the need for volcano monitoring. Who needs it, you know? It's not like there are any volcanoes in America... or are there?
it's raining. it's been a dryer, colder winter than normal for the northwest, more like a denver winter than a portland winter, but without the extreme bitter cold/frigid nights. i guess it's still more of a portland winter, but the lack of more or less constant rain, and the addition of a fair amount of snow (around christmas in particular), made the weather part of the move to the northwest a bit less compelling.
sometimes, i wish i had more of an inclination to write. i've been so bad lately at keeping in touch with old friends, be it through e-mails, via this blog, or sending christmas cards (portland got snowed in this year right before christmas, so good intentions weren't good enough). i wish i expressed myself more in writing... like i used to...
and i could swear the crackhead on the bus complimented my legs?! sweet...
