Talk Radio And My Brain

Today I listened to Sean Hannity. I know, what the hell was I thinking. I can't believe how much I don't like that guy. Anyway, it seems that shows like that, both liberal and conservative, are shows with information saturated with opinion. What kills me is that most people either agree or disagree with the opinions given. When did we become a society that can't think for ourselves. Can we not just have our own opinion based off the "true" information given. They offer you apples or oranges then say choose. What if I want a freakn' pear, or maybe a pineapple.

That said here are some of my opinions-

-Bail out for automotive companies, bad idea. I agree unemployment is bad but man we have the let the chips fall. I don't want to reward anyone for bad decisions. (That was my opinion with the other bail outs too, for better or worse) I should know about unemployment at any day I could wake up and there be no work for me, I'm not asking for a handout I'll just do what I've always do, WORK ANYWHERE. I think Americans can still do this. This are going to get bad, but it has to happen. In the words of Reagan. "If not now, when? And if not us, who?"

-Prop 8. I was against but it passed so I'm moving on.

-Barrock Obama. For. Now that he is in lets see what he can do, hopefully good things. After four years we can reevaluate. Lets give him a chance before we try to destroy him.

-Cool quote from a movie, that has nothing to do with politics. "I'm not happy, but I'm not unhappy about it" (this is not how I feel I just liked the quote)

-Random thought I had the other day. I was working and saw some kid and I thought if he shot me dead I would hope someone would shave my head and beard with my beard trimmer before the viewing. Weird, I know. Even weirder is that was my only concern. lol.

-Done. Cherrio, friends.

Hotel Cafe Tour

So I wanted to post how great the Hotel Cafe Tour was, with pics and videos but Sarah already did it, and basically what she said is what I would say also. So if you haven't seen it on her page GO HERE!!!!!!

War

Who would have thought Facebook could be such a battle ground. I guess I have a lot of pent up frustration because I've been on the attack with acquaintances and friends on Facebook. My own personal virtual Gettysburg of Civil Rights. I think that whole mess over proposition 8 is crazy. Let them marry, it isn't my business to tell anyone what they can or cannot do, and HOLY CRAP when did the church start telling us how to vote. That really bugs me. Peace out bitches.

Reminder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So for the past month I've been talking a lot about the Hotel Cafe Tour. I'm going to see Meiko, but there are also a lot of other great artists. So here are a few that will be there that I'm excited to see.

Lenka
Go HERE for her video


Emily Wells

Rachael Yamagata
This will be one hell of a good show. If you haven't figured it out yet it's going to be an all female line up. Go HERE for more!!!!!!!!!

Someone forgot to erase those pictures, lol.

This is my sister in-law Sarah and her sister Laura, and this is what happens when you take pics with my camera and then forgets to erase them. I post them for the world to see these two in all their geek glory.

Sarah

Sarah and Laura (I must be taking an oath in the background)

Laura

Love it!!

I wish more artists would do this. Pick up a camera, a guitar, and just play. This is more of Meiko. Nov 12, in Salt Lake. Who's going with me?

Stuff on my mind

The other day, on my long drive to work, my mind was lost in deep thought. For the whole journey I kept pondering about some really good stuff, and thinking to myself I got to blog this. Well, now when I have the time to actually do that. I can remember very little about the train of thoughts that I had. One string was on honesty, and the other things that haunt me. Like Nissan Altimas, why are there so many on the road? Errrrrr.
Honesty is an interesting subject, especially with ourselves, and others around us. How many masks do we wear? We have professional masks, family masks, friend masks, etc… Of course in certain situations one would have to behave accordingly, but there comes a point when you really put on a show for others. Maybe it’s because you are afraid of what others may think. I’m sure there are dozens of reasons. I’ve been pondering about the masks I’ve been wearing lately, some because I don’t want to disappoint loved ones. The perfect example is this current tattoo that I want. I have already decided to get it, and I know where I’m going to get it. I’ll be able to cover this tattoo pretty easily, but if I were to wear a t-shirt it will be seen. The struggle I fight in my head is when and where will I choose to cover it. I’ve decided that I’m just not going to tell my folks, few of my siblings, and probably not my boss. Of course they will find out eventually but that’s a stress I don’t want to deal with. Why, I ask myself. I love my mother, and my father, and of course I don’t want to disappoint them. This tattoo won’t be their favorite thing, they don’t like them and they wouldn’t want me to get one. I’m different I think they are fine, great actually. I love tattoos. I love my parents. Why is it when someone makes a personal decision, one that doesn’t affect anyone but themselves, it still seems to involve everyone else and their opinions? I guess I should just not worry about it, but how could I not.
