Change WON!!!
Tears fell from my eyes as Obama spoke his acceptance speech last night. This is such a turning point for America! We have so much to do from here, but at least we will actually have a leader.
YES WE CAN!

Friend gets a job…
A friend of mine recently acquired a job and well now she just let it go. The reasoning behind saying goodbye after a week. Let’s make a list.
1. Boss has all the female employees call him “Big Daddy”.
2. Has another Boss who snaps female workers bras.
3. Has the Boss cuss her out in front of guests and proceeds to say “What the fuck do you think I meant?”
I would say that is enough…good-bye asshole!
Society= Sexist
Don’t worry I am an optimist…haha

So much to tell, so little time…
I haven’t written in sometime and a lot of that is due to the fact that work right now is so busy that I come home, eat, and then head to bed. I have decided this course of action is not going to work. A lot has happened over the last month. Let me just give a brief summary.
- I have seen Obama speak
- I have seen Hillary Clinton speak
- Hillary won PA
- More importantly I am not officially legal, sorta
What I mean by sorta, is that even though I am allowed to consume alcohol, pay my bills (which I have been doing since 18), vote, go to war, and do mostly all the rights us American folk have, I am still not allowed to file as a independent on my financial aid forms for college! Now, that for me would be better than drinking.(Slight exaggeration)
Anyways, don’t feel bad, I am sure some wonderful person will help me not be in debt of 50 thousand at the age of 21. (that is funny)

Journalism is calling me everyday…
Everyday whether it’s looking at NPR’s website or listening the stupid all hit music stations I find myself loving journalism, in every form. The way people put their lives on the line to show the truth. Everyday I look at many different news websites in order to get more than just one perspective and as I looked went to the New York Times the first picture that was up was of body bags so close, live action shot of people dead in bags in a shooting that took place in Jerusalem at a school. We sometimes see pictures and just see not thinking of what is taking or behind that lense. One thing that I always tell myself is that if we all live in this world, we have to make an impact. Not environmentally but more politically or just plain for humanity. I find myself more in tune with that lately seeing as my job is making copies. Though, it is much more than that I sometimes feel plained bored. The last couple of days have been pretty good. Anyways, my point is that if we don’t think about what is happening around us or even try to think beyond our lives we can make an impact and a change.
One example that I am going to recall is the Northern Illinois University shooting that took place very close to my hometown. Many of my friends go to NIU and the shooting was a tragedy but how come our country speaks so sadly and puts it all over the news? What about the violence that we are taking apart of that happens every single day in the Middle East. What about all the civilians dying for our call to spread democracy?

The things we should really think about…
I am finally up past 9 at night to have time to write. My life has been full of sleeping early and going to work. A constant cycle that does not seem to change. I am on a quest to make that change so I can finally write and ingest some knowledge from the outside world besides where I reside.
I was exploring Adbusters and came across an interesting article written about the Iraqi War which most of us seem to forget in our daily lives.
Here is the article. Check it out.
Have a pleasant day.

So did everyone hear that Kerry is all for Obama. I bet Edwards cried himself to sleep.
Don’t they make a cute couple.
I cry everyday for the future of the United States.

It’s 2008!
When you think about the years that have past sometimes it is all one big blur. Lately my life has been clear from start to now. I have been trying to keep myself occupied and therefore soon will be working and getting this site more together.
Fun fact for the New Year: Accu-Weather Forecast is located in State College. It is out in the middle of nowhere giving you your weather update.
Happy New Year!
P.S. I know I am five days late.
