Not just any girl, a gun carrying, moose hunting, former beauty queen. I was kinda hoping for Bobby Jindal, and I don’t know much about her, but so far all I’ve heard is good. It will at least make it easier to vote for McCain without throwing up.
They let alien abductee Dennis Kucinich speak? At the Democratic convention? Really?
Really?

I’m a quiet guy, I don’t usually say much, I just stand around taking everything in and not saying much. I’m also a funny guy, at least that’s what I’m told. Not as in funny looking but a laugh out loud funny. I’ve had people pee their pants from laughing at something I said. It’s not really that I’m trying to be funny, it usually just happens that way. I’ve been told lots of times that I should be a stand up comedian, but truthful I could never be funny on stage.
The biggest problem, besides my fear of public speaking, is that I don’t tell jokes or funny stories, I tend to work off of what other people say or do. Someone says something and I’ll come up with the most outlandish, bizarre, sarcastic, inappropriate or disgusting response, sometimes to the chagrin of whoever is with me. Like the response to the woman at the shoe store when asked if I was going to run the marathon with WB, ‘I don’t run unless someone’s chasing me’ or the reply to the same question for the guy at the TnT meeting we went to, ‘If it doesn’t involve a martini, I want no part of it’. Both of which embarrassed WB and were quite tame by my standards. Most that know me know that if there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed, I’ll go way over it. That kind of humor just doesn’t transfer well to the stage. Standing up on the stage waiting for someone to say something I can respond to wouldn’t make for a good show and I’m not sure I could come up with a funny response to ‘YOU SUCK’.
Also, it tends to be funnier in the moment, writing it or telling someone about it just doesn’t convey the same way. You might not find the two examples funny, but at the time, the horrified look on the guys face was great, and while the woman smiled at the comment, holding in the laughter, the gentleman seated on the stool next to us almost fell off of it from laughing.
Looks like Michelle O will be speaking at the Democratic convention, Let the all American bash(ing) begin!
WB is running a marathon, 26.2 miles of grueling work. She is training hard for it so go donate to the cause! I would never run a marathon, but if I did, I think I would have the same approach as Barney and just ‘get out and run’. I think it’s great what she is doing and am trying to be supportive.
That’s the difference between WB and me, she sets her mind on something and goes out and does it. Me, well I have two movies that I’m trying to film, several half written screenplays (only one is essentially done), several stories in my head to turn into screenplays and books, Dozens of pieces of started but never finished artwork, and thousands of photographs to scan and restore and catalog, with very little hope of ever actually completing any of it. The excuses are plentiful, no money, not enough time, no inspiration…
Well at least I actually blogged this time and not just posted up a photo.
Not as good as the opening ceremonies, and I thought they could have left out the changing of He’s diaper, But the end with the Chinese Tanks coming in to ‘escort’ the foreign scum out brought a tear to my eyes.
Well Photowalk was yesterday, and though I knew it was coming up and wanted to do it, as usual, I forgot. Oh well, Maybe next time. Anyway, here’s the photo of the day from last weeks trip to Panama City Beach Florida, for my CIL who complains I don’t blog enough!
I think I know who Barack wants as his VP, and I wouldn’t doubt that he would choose him if he could. He want’s someone that won’t detract from him and that won’t take his spotlight away. So I think he wants it to be Obama/Obama ’08, and not that bitch of a wife of his either. Selecting himself would keep him up front for the whole election and if he is elected, after his 8 to 10 year term as president of all 57 states, his VP could run for another 8 to 10 year term! That’s my guess for his VP pick and I’m sure he’s looking for any loophole to select him.
I'm an American of Colombian descent. I speak my mind on various topics and usually piss everyone off. If you want to believe I'm targeting you in my attacks, then I am! Look around and comment.
