Synthpop, McCain, Obama and Sleep
Oct 26th
I’m up late again, as someone who has had trouble getting to bed at the same time every night since he was about 5 –this isn’t new. Sleeping has always been annoying and falling asleep a pain in the ass. So here I am, awake at 6AM with no signs of getting to bed soon but I have to be up at around 10… in other words, I ain’t sleeping tonight –which also isn’t new. I actually went to work sleepless on Friday, and to class sleepless on Tuesday… heh.
Meanwhile, I’m listening to Erasure. I don’t know why synth-pop gets such BS from everyone. The argument is usually “thats so dated,” “that sounds weird,” or the “what is that? kinda slow techno?” I just can’t let go of my music. I like tons of stuff and ehh, idk. I just don’t get MY OWN generation. Bastards don’t know what music is.
On the McCain side, things aren’t looking too good. They could be worse, and as a matter of fact, they SHOULD be worse. He’s doing his best but his campaign mistakes (multiple messages) just seem like too much. He has a little over a week to prove what he’s got and to prove that the O’ will screw up everything further.Â
Obama on the other hand… seems to be doing everything right, besides keeping Biden’s mouth shut. Biden went off stating the OBVIOUS for no obvious reason. Biden said at a Seattle fundraiser:
“We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember, I said it standing here, if you don’t remember anything else I said: Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
If there was video to accompany the audio you’d be seeing this way more… total stupid move, but true.
There is OBVIOUSLY something bothering the American people in terms of Obama. In a political season so geared against the Republicans who are taking a lot of the blame for things (which isn’t always fair I might add,) Obama still manages to lead within the margin or error in some polls and slightly ahead in others. Its crazy!
And finally, I’ll be live blogging on election day/night. I like many others will be glued to my television and although I was McCain had an extra week or two to show the country he’s the right guy to lead… I just want this to be over. Win or lose.
Hurricane Dolly: She Came, She Rained, She Entertained
Jul 24th
So it’s still raining outside and besides a downed tree or two and a bunch of branches all over the yard and part of my fence going down, everything is perfect. An absolute mess mind you, but not bad. I really wish I could have snapped a few more pics; sadly the best action took place just as it got dark and still is going on now. In terms of my area, things seem ok, there was a tree or two uprooted or snapped, and crazy dirty buildups from the runoff, other than that I wasn’t able to make out anything major but it is dark outside. I do have a few more video clips from yesterday and I’ll be getting at least one or two more on here, but there wont be anything GREAT to show like a flying cow or goat. (This is south Texas!) So after all that has happened, Western Hidalgo County largely got away with minimal damage.
So here is my final photo until sunup:
