"Now is the Time"

I just finished watching Sen. Barack Obama's acceptance speech of the Democratic Parties nomination for the Presidency of the United States of America.  Sen. Obama extended an olive branch to everyone in the country, to bring us all together.  We are all one people, in one country, and we should all come together to help everyone out!!  I liked the "Now is the time", and I expect to see this on future bumper stickers!!  I liked the speech a lot!!  I liked that he plans to lower taxes for the middle class, businesses that keep jobs in the country, and to close off tax breaks for business that takes jobs away from America!  I plan to go before work tomorrow to get my Nixon for Governor, and Obama for President yard signs!!  My mother doesn't want me to do this.  She's afraid that people will not like the fact that I am publicly supporting a black man for President.  I was so pleased, when I drove through a neighborhood yesterday, and saw a street that had Obam yard signs all up & down both sides of the street!!  My dad doesn't want me to do it, because he is against a black man being elected president.  Some times I really disagree with my dad, and this is one of those times!  Yes, I will go to get my Obama yard sign tomorrow!!

The Best Laid Plans of Poloticians & Men!!

Well it seems that the political game is a foot! McCain is sending out attack adds he promised he wouldn't do, Obama is sending out attack adds I wish he wouldn't do, and Hillary is trying g to rally support behind Obama. Her own supporters are so divisive, that according to the NBC Evening News today, 21% of her major supporters are saying they will jump the fence to support John McCain even though she is asking them to Support Barack Obama!! Her own supporters are going against what she's asking them to do, because the are so mad that she didn't get the nomination?? There's true loyalty for you I guess. Another 27% so they are either undecided, or want to vote for someone other than the two major party candidates. I had high hopes that the election in November would be a win for Sen. Obama, but now I'm not so sure?? He has to see what he must do, his advisers have to see it also!! Even if she says no, he has to extend an olive branch to Sen. Clinton, and offer her the Vice-Presidency!! I don't really want to see it happen, but I'm going back to my previous idea, he can't win with out her. The party wont let him, and it truly is a shame that the party that I grew up on has become the mess that it is today!! At times I feel ashamed to call myself a Democrat. I still do, and I haven't given up the hope that a Franklin Roosevelt, a Harry S. Truman, or a John F. Kennedy will raise the party from the ashes that is wallows in today!! I had hopped that Sen. Obama would be this person, and I still do believe that he can be that savior that the party needs. I'm just not sure that the party will give him the chance top help save it?? You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it. I guess you can tell a dying party to not pull the trigger of the gun to it's head, but only the party can decide wither to pull they trigger, or not??

Well I Got An Answer!!

I had sent a email to a local group that showed interest in publishing one of my pictures in April last night.  I was concerned that I was being blown off, but I was reassured that it will be published a few months from now.  That did make me feel better, and I can't wait till I get to see it in print!!  This will be a short post, I need to do some stuff before bed.  Today was a nice day for me, I love the fall like weather!!  :)    It was over cast, cool, and misty all afternoon, and evening!  It reminded me a little of the great fall days of my childhood.  The only thing that would have made it perfect, was if there was enough fog, to make the cars going down the road just barely visible!!

First Blog Post On Blogger!!

Well this is my first ever post on Blogger.  I have a blog on my profile on Myspace.  Stop by to check it out if you like.  I'm looking to blogger to post most of my blog entries too, because I like it better, and because the editor is easier for me to use.  I also like the archiving system that is used here on blogger, as well as the spell check, not having to hand key links, and such things.  I would love if my blog here became very popular, but I know that probably wont happen.  In fact I think that not many people will read my blog here.  Not many read my blog on Myspace.  I do it more to give myself an outlet for things that I feel I can't really say to others.  If you want to read these posts, then I want to share them with you!  I all ways welcome comments, so feel free to leave them, if for on other reason than to say hi, & to let me know your reading them!!

Well, it's after 3:30 a.m., and I think I need to go to bed now.  Getting a little tired.  Thanks to anyone who reads this!!
