I think, therefore I am

...or however that phrase goes. Hey - was looking around some other blog sites and found a really cool one: tattertedcoat.com. Guy named Rod wrote a great piece about how much he loves grocery shopping. It was so entertaining to read - to kinda get in his head, so to speak. He's quite articulate - not to mention clever. Another fun one is "it's recess time somewhere" or some such. I still don't know how to read a lot of the "anon" ones - ones I don't know about, but maybe I'll pick a few keywords and search. Any tips about this?

And I gotta tell you - I stay away from politics because I'm not current enough with the news to sound intelligent. And you guys know how I like to sound intelligent! :) I used to be so ready with an argument, huh. My brain's on vacation for a while. Plus, I've "lost my cherry" so to speak, over politics. I used to believe Government had our greater good in mind (can you say gullible), but ever since Clinton, Monica, Bush, the never-ending war, etc., I don't believe anything anymore. But I still read up on shit and vote. Old habits die hard. Actually, I vote out of respect for those Americans who died to ensure I have that right. Hey - that was political, huh.

All I know is Uncle Arnie (Gov in CA) is fucking the schools, and apparently, OR's gov (whomever that is) has the same agenda. Tom something, I think. He says he's streamlining things. Whatever. All I know is he's busing people around to different schools 'cause the ones they've gone to in the past are closing. So that's my political extent. All I can say is I'm glad (for once) that I don't have kids. Public schools today scare me. Teachers awe me.
