I just don't understand these things...I, along with many other adolescent females and young aspiring writers have kept a journal/diary whatever you want to call it, since I was of the ripe age of 12. To me, journals/diaries are intended to be private and personnal...Where is the logic? I am a private person, but simultaneously, I am open to strangers, aquaintances, friend and foe...Now it is you, the readers turn to ask where is the logic? This I cannot tell you.
The end of last week along with the weekend were quite nice. I attended the Minneapolis mayoral debates and felt inspired when I left. I am possibly vulnerbale and at times naive, but things that truly inspire me I do not take for granted. I have seen debates ranging from the first televised debate with the ol' Nixon and everyone's favorite charmer Kennedy, to the recent debates between Bush and Kerry. (Editors note: Ralph Nader should have been included; he was quoted saying he wanted to wear a cape and run across the stage during the next presidential debates.) But this debate between mayoral candidates was local which made the issues relative to me. Watching those two men and the way they worked their charm (I swear it was a contest to see who could smile the most.) and professionalism made me say "I could do that." And it was also amazing seeing all the fire fighters, teamsters, and other local union workers supporting the commissioner.
The weekend was devoted to mostly work and studying, but I did attend the statewide college republicans convention. Why you may ask; were you comsuming a vile combination of jack and coke -- (not the pop)? (It was for an article I was assigned to.) I could not believe how organized the organization was; have to give them props. However, the entire time I wanted to stand up and argue with the speakers, including governor Pawlenty, Norm Coleman, and Gil Gutknecht. It was kind of brain washing; I mean comparing the pope to Bush and Abe seems a little far fetched, if you will. When I left I was like "I feel like getting drunk." I could continue ranting, but I will save it. There was another small "reason" I enjoyed work this weekend, but I might save that for another time too...
