Happy Birfday to

Life is a funny thing isn't it.. Forced to live against our will by parents who deemed it nessescary for us to be born. Forced to go to school and suffer under the burden of old people forcing us to learn their ways. Then being forced to live the way they did in order to survive in the harsh world they created, and then forced to die just after we get all of our experience points and become masters in the activity of life.
Sometimes getting up in the morning feels pointless.. My days are becoming a wash dry work eat sleep and repeat routine. Is this my plateau in life where I cruise on at this point for 37more years till I retire..?
Clearing my mind, my thoughts and staring off.. everything seems to move slowly.. as I watch the world rush about it's daily routine without me taking part in it.. Reminds me of falling snow, and not the little specks of fury either, I mean the big puffy balls of ice cold wonder. When it falls down, I love to just stand about and try to watch a few individual snow flakes falling down. As I do the rest of them seem to pause and move out of the way of the one I've chosen to watch, till it falls in my hand and melts, or on the ground and sticks only to be joined by a flakey friend.
Work..
Got a note from one of the big bosses today.. Building I work in is set to be sold! So uh.. what does that mean for me? Well in the letter it was noted that we have 4 employees who work from home.. and some people will be moved to the other building.. so does that mean those that may not fit (like me) might get to work from home?? ^_^ huzzah!
Health
D: sad day, my toe gave me a ( graphic ) surprise this morning :( that was un happiness! I soaked it in Epson salt and saw that it's an ingrown toe nail... I do not cut my toe nails short because of problems like this, so I'm confused as to where it came from D: my toe nail is actually kinda long.. so it's weird.. and it hurts like #$@$%(@! I should probably see a poditrist..
( Sarah Palin might not know any other Supreme Court cases other then Roe v Wade )
Hmmm... I'm not sure if I wanna see the debate or not... Usually my answer would be no, but Palin's interviews have intrigued me.. I can actually name more supreme court cases then she can.. Though it wasn't really screaming "I don't know of any others", it was more screaming, "I don't care about any others" .. so I'm not sure if it's fair to say she couldn't name any others she didn't agree with..
Then I find out that there were 2 Bridges to Nowhere
Oh, didn't you know that there were originally two bridges to nowhere? The second bridge is to be built in Palin's own home region of Matanuska-Susitna, designed to connect the Knik Arm peninsula (and Wasilla!) to the city of Anchorage. Excoriated in precisely the same breath as the Ketchikan bridge by McCain in 2005, the Knik Arm bridge would actually be at least twice as expensive, with the latest estimate clocking in at approximately $1 billion.

McCain Ends his campaing in the state of Michigan

In a major concession, Republican John McCain has abandoned efforts to win Michigan, the state's poor economy and McCain's association with the unpopular President Bush proved too much for the GOP nominee.

Looks like our leaders can learn a lot from Scrooge McDuck!
One thing I'll never forget is a quote from Donna Karan.
"When dressing yourself or making your own creation, be your own best customer. Personal style is your unique trade mark, don't give in to some famous brand, wear what looks good on you, even if you have doubts. It's so important to trust your own personal style. Show who you really are."
That is how I dress today, if it makes me stand out a little in the crowd, then that will probably fit my natural high and emotional fits just fine :) hehe I've made my glasses my unique trademark :) I've been wearing daring and outrageous style frames since 1986! :D I have a ton of fabulous frames that will be perfect to match the unique frames I have today. The ones I currently wear, I cut the lenses and dyed myself (used to work for the Vision Center in Wal*Mart), the current color is a greenish brown :) mostly a fluke.. I wanted purple with a blue base.. then changed my mind to green which made this weird teal, but the optician I worked with warned that I'll hurt my eyes if I keep changing colors and recommended against red and blue base colors and told me to go with yellow.. when I dipped them in, I left them in a bit too long, and when I took them out they were this funky greenish brown.. I kept them and lightened them up a lil :) My spare pair are a purple :) but I try not to wear them :)
Wanna see some of my frames? :) hehe The frames I have now are here, the ones I wish I could use but can't because of my astigmatism are here, they are also my favorite frames. My future frames aren't in that gallery... they are black & gold :)

MoveOn.org blames McCain advisers. He blames Obama and Democrats in Congress. Both are wrong. Here's a FactCheck.org Summary
A MoveOn.org Political Action ad plays the partisan blame game with the economic crisis, charging that John McCain’s friend and former economic adviser Phil Gramm “stripped safeguards that would have protected us.” The claim is bogus. Gramm’s legislation had broad bipartisan support and was signed into law by President Clinton. Moreover, the bill had nothing to do with causing the crisis, and economists – not to mention President Clinton – praise it for having softened the crisis.
A McCain-Palin ad, in turn, blames Democrats for the mess. The ad says that the crisis “didn’t have to happen,” because legislation McCain co-sponsored would have tightened regulations on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But, the ad says, Obama "was notably silent" while Democrats killed the bill. That’s oversimplified. Republicans, who controlled the Senate at the time, did not bring the bill forward for a vote. And it’s unclear how much the legislation would have helped, as McCain signed on just two months before the housing bubble popped.
In fact, there’s ample blame to go around. Experts have cited everyone from home buyers to Wall Street, mortgage brokers to Alan Greenspan.
