just one more day ♥

Sorry about your Grandma Barry.

“She was somebody who was a very humble person and a very plain-spoken person,” he said.

“She was one of those quiet heroes that we have all across America. They’re not famous. Their names aren’t in the newspapers,” Obama said.

“But each and every day they work hard. They look after their families.

They sacrifice for their children and their grandchildren. They aren’t seeking the limelight. All they try to do is just do the right thing.

“And in this crowd there are a lot of quiet heroes like that, mothers and fathers, grandparents who have worked hard and sacrificed all their lives,” drawing satisfaction from the hope of a better life for their own offspring.

“That’s what America is about,” Obama exclaimed, his voice rising to a shout as the crowd responded with a roar.

“That’s what we’re fighting for. And North Carolina, in just one more day, we have the opportunity to honour all those quiet heroes all across America and all across North Carolina,” he said.

“We can bring change to America to make sure that their work and their sacrifice is honoured. That’s what we’re fighting for.” From the Sydney Morning Herald

He’s such a hero.

SNL Presidential Bash – TONIGHT!

I just about peed my pants when I got my answer…
As I was checking out tonight’s Election Special on nbc.com, I came across a little quizzy. I laughed to myself as I answered most of the questions. The last question revealed my perfect SNL match…Mr.Bill Clinton!

I chuckled. Given the last question, “If the phone rings at 3am, you would?”, I can see how my silly answer, got one in return. I reckon I would threaten the caller given Bill was ringing me at 3am, again!!

In spirit of poking fun at the Clinton’s, I share this ecard with you. SNL is really taking the 2008 election coverage to the max! Check out the Presidential Bash tonight at 9pm EST!

One day to go for the 56th US Election!! Go Obama!!

CNN is reporting the following for the US Election tomorrow (see image). What an exciting time! I hope and prey Obama wins. It will be a real shame for the US to have old fart McCain in office for the next term. It truly is time for change in the US. Their economy and state of the nation has become such a mess since Bush has been in office (including his investment in the war on Iraq, however, we won’t touch on that item!).

I’ll be at a pub with friends watching the future of the US unfold!!

Educate yourselves! I’m sharing some interesting facts I found here about the election & candidates:
  • Either candidate would become the first president born outside the Continental United States, as Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and McCain was born at Coco Solo, Panama Canal Zone, a US naval base.
  • This 2008 election will mark the first time since the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960 that a sitting Senator will be elected President of the United States.
  • The new president elected in 2008 will be the first president in 184 years to take office after multiple consecutive two-term presidential administration (Bush & Clinton)
  • McCain would be the oldest U.S. president upon ascension to the presidency at age 72 years
  • Barack Obama and John McCain are 24 years and 340 days apart in age.
  • The 2008 election marks the first time since the 1928 election in which neither an incumbent President nor an incumbent Vice President ran for their party’s nomination in the presidential election

Sarkozy & Palin – Punked

Palin cracks me up. Listening to this is quite funny. She doesn’t actually talk about anything. It seems like she is just flirting and doesn’t know what to say to him. She talks about how his wife Carla Bruni has added alot of ‘energy’ to France and to ‘give her a big hug’. The Masked Avengers make a good joke asking if Joe the Plumber is her husband. Like that one. She stays on the phone for about 7 minutes. The Globe and Mail published a transcript of the entire call.
Carla Bruni is hot.

LIFE

Be Inspired

I sat in on a friends class a few years ago at University of Waterloo. I do not remember what she was taking as her major but I have always taken a liking to university classes no mater what genre. The class I attended this particular day was on focused on Shakespeare. It made me think “Shakespeare is fascinating, I want to be fascinating“. I came up with two things inspired by the class. Often, when I am in class, especially when not a registered student, I am inspired by a variety in topics and unexpected ideas of interest.

acutely ironic
a bird writes a sonnet
sings the sonnet
out of tune
across the river
to a loon


Prof, English

Lackluster

I used to know someone who constantly surprised me by their lack of motivation to do anything. To go out, to work hard, have dreams, try, do, any of those type of things that involve stimulus or drive. Their lack of inspiration, inspired me, and for that, I am thankful. This is Lackluster.

dull and boring
uninspired & unmoved
bland and down
uninteresting & unconcerned
spiritless and square

for a matter of fact
that’s just you

Glance

I look away for a second
The rush of the wave

Approaches my towel
Causing me to spring and move
Out of the way of the ocean


When I lived at the beach I wrote all the time. It was so inspiring and free to be there, I wrote this in 2004 the pic is from Aquabumps. They have the best shots from Bondi and other amazing beaches. I always miss it when I see them but i’m also reminded of how great it is.
