On the topic of: blogs

There are a few blogs a follow that are for the most part “personal” blogs. And I do this because… these people are kind of hilarious. I mean, they’re posts are really amusing and I look forward to reading them even though they are strangers (yeah, does that make me creepy?). And once done I think to myself “Man, I wish I could write like that.”

You’d think it would be easy. You’d think if you can make people laugh in real life then writing a personal blog that is actually funny should be no problem at all. The problem is, it IS a problem. Not sure why but I don’t think my writing is ever that funny.

Then the thought occurred to me that maybe they aren’t actually personal blogs. Maybe they are humor blogs. They are TRYING to be funny and not writing about real things that happen to them!

I am Jack’s sudden realization to Zero The Ghostdog that “they’re trying to hit us!”

Who is to say that amusing story did/didn’t actually happen? Who would know?

So maybe that’s what I will do. Telling stories is about making something ordinary into something fantastical, right? So is blogging then.

Suckerssss.

Drip, Drip, Drip

Oy, the upstairs shared bathroom in my parents house flooded earlier this week and leaked down to the lower level of the house. Thus beginning ASBESTOS REMOVAL SHENANIGANS of 2010! Not really, it’s not quite as fun as that. It’s more like LOUD AND INCONVENIENT WEEKEND OF APRIL! There’s a clean up crew here right now and my uncle is moving out of his room. They’re pretty much going to be tearing everything out.

Pictures to follow.

London Trip, Google Books, Universal Health Care

Quick and to the point update!

A health care bill was passed this weekend and was signed by President Barack Obama into law. There are a lot of things to work on and a long time before it’s going to work well but HOLY SHIT THIS IS, as VP Biden said, A BIG FUCKING DEAL.

One part of the health care bill that I particularly enjoy is that restaurants will now be required to print calorie counts on their menus. Pretty cool.

In related news, I don’t know what the fuck is up with elected officials nowadays. Republicans are being really offensive IN the House. I feel like the past 8 years democrats have been politely complaining, and certainly not calling for Bush’s assassination. I don’t get where these people get the idea that they can act like this. When did become acceptable behavior for people who are supposed to represent America? Could we take a step back and look at these people are doing? I wonder if governments of other first world countries act like this in legislative houses. I wonder if Canadians or the English are like this.

I guess I’ll get to find out later this year… ’cause I’m planning a trip to London! Woooooooo! Yeah so I’m finally in a place where I’m financially stable enough to save up money to go on a trip like this. I’ve gotten pretty excited looking at vacation packages and what not. I think I want to stay for a whole week. Eee! I also just found my passport tonight and luckily it doesn’t expire until next May so I don’t have to worry about paying for a renewal. Huzzah! In the meantime I have trips to SF and Seattle booked. I’ll also be going to Laughlin in August and Oregon in September for Sarah’s wedding.

Finally, I just discovered Google Books! Look how cool it is!
