Things must be pretty good...

So yeah, sorry I haven't really posted in a while, but things have been pretty rad for me this week. It seems like I get the urge to post more often when I've got crap that I want to bitch and moan about... I should try to get over that. Although, that's a major part of what this blog is for; an outlet for me to vent. I just haven't really needed to vent about much this week.

Sarah Palin was chosen as the Rep's vice presidential candidate. I can't say I know anything about her. I mentioned her in class today and the response (in my most red class I think) ranged from "I want McCain to die so she can take over" to "She's hot... I'd totally tap that. Even after 5 kids, I'd hit that sideways." Again though, I don't know anything about her excpet her political history in Alaska and that her 17 year old daughter got knocked up. I'm not surprised that everyone can't seem to talk about anything other than the baby mama, but I don't really think its that big a deal. I'm sure it's 'a good story' for today's ignorant celebrety gossip driven American public, but seriously it's not a big deal. I mean, what else is there to do in Alaska but get drunk and screw? Of course teenage girls are gonna get preggers there.

The funniest part about this to me is that all the people who are standing up for Palin, saying that 'this just shows that politicians are regular people too' are the same people who've said something like 'did you hear so and so's daughter went and got herself pregnant? So and so is such a horrible mother, but I'm not too surprised... you know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree' and then so and so doesn't get invited to the church bizaar that year.

Anyways...

This weekend promises to be a pretty good one. It's already started out to be pretty fun. I went shag dancing last night. They had a live band... the lead singer would shout a bunch of unintelligible words between songs, and the keyboard/saxiphone player looked like the little dude from Smokey and Bandit, but the music wasn't too bad. They played more bluesy stuff then beach music, but we still had a really fun time.

The Crowders are in town tonight, so there will be a lesson and dinner. Then a movie afterwards. Then I'm not sure what else, I may hang out with the Nicks tomorrow night. Whatever I do, I think I'm going to enjoy it.

Things are looking up...
