So what did McCain do now...

So, McCain suspended his campaign today and sought to delay the scheduled debate with Obama for thursday. In a NY Times article today, he said it's because he's calling on the president to arrange a meeting with congress including both candidates so that they can "come together and solve this problem."

suure they're coming up with a plan

Obama thinks that a debate is the best thing right now-  "This is exactly the time when people need to hear from the candidates," Obama said.

I think this is irresponsible and shows weakness in McCain's ability to handle several important things at once.

 "Part of the president's job is to deal with more than one thing at once. In my mind it's more important than ever," Obama also said.

I mean, the debate is on friday night at 9pm. Is the senate going to still be in session fighting over what to do?

well this might be Bush's friday night

my weekend

This weekend I went home to Staten Island again. 

It wasn't very eventful- my friend's 21st birthday was last week, so she and I and some other friends had some margaritas and cupcakes to celebrate thursday night (yea we're cool). 

Friday I slept most of the day, then my boyfriend and I decided to go bowling. He beat me the first game but i came back and beat him with a 136 in the second game. I'm still don't know if he let me win or not.  I"m pretty sure he did.

Saturday I had to go see my parents. I went to my dads house, where he decided to volunteer me and my boyfriend to bring this enormous dresser over to my moms house. So, I hung out with dad; I'm still working on convincing him to leave our 100 year old 3 family house to me when he moves to georgia. Moms was good- i did laundry, she fed me, and she filled up my gas tank. What more can i ask. 

Sunday I drove back to Stony Brook. on the way I stopped in and visited my grandma in Brentwood. She was happy to see me. She fed me too. 

So I came back to the Brook and hung out with some friends. Around 9 I started studying and doing HW for my ridiculous insane editing class until about 6am. I took a 2 hour nap and was late for my first class this morning. wonderful start to the week. 

Although last night, when my friend and i were studying, i procrastinated on Myxer.com  and sent a bunch of free ring tones to my phone. 

I got the theme song to Rob and Big, "My best friend" 

and a clip from the Batty Rap that Robin Williams does as the bat in Fern Gully. 

 I also downloaded a clip from Mr.Carter, by lil Wayne, 

and Brian Griffin's Peanut Butter Jelly Time song from Family Guy. 

election 2008

The election trail has uncovered another McCain team blunder. His campaign manager, Rick Davis was caught receiving almost $2 million for being president of an advocacy group set up by fannie mae and Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations. I think this is the last thing McCain needs at this point. It's coming out more and more that the people he associates with are frequently influenced by lobbyists and other campaign contributors.  

McCain tried to tie Obama to the risky investors at fannie and freddie in a suggestive TV commercial.

well, the joke's on McCain. Several company executives who knew of Davis'  involvement came forward and told the public that he had helped them beat regulatory challenges

and he keeps slipping on down those polls...

My favorite, or maybe least favorite part of the election so far has got to be when Obama and McCain announced their running mates. 

I was extremely surprised with both choices. Obama's pick, Joe Biden, I felt was a no-name old fogey that he felt might appeal to McCain supporters. I don't think he has a very strong voice on issues- although I ma just be sub-consciously ignoring them because if how i fell about him

McCain's pick, Sara Palin, was another shocker. This loudmouth woman governor from Alaska has a potential seat in the whitehouse? At first I actually liked her. My friend had me convinced that she would be good because she's a strong woman who could empathize with mothers of disabled children, like my friend.

Then i read an article about how she fired all the people under her that didn't agree with her policies, and decided to hire 5 of her schoolmates, some of which didn't even finish college into high governmental positions. 

So, now i think Palin is a power-hungry, angry woman who likes to change things to make everything more convenient for herself.  

hmm.... a post waaaaay before class

OK so a post for Monday. Well, this weekend I was a bum. Ate, slept, went shopping, and of course I didn't do any homework. So now here it is 5:30 in the morning and i just finished my seventh assignment for my Tuesday class because I'm not going to be here tonight to do any of it. In fact, I'm not going to be able to attend my wonderful online journalism class tonight either. Now I'm not going to try to say I have a doctors appointment or some family emergency...

It's a Flogging Molly emergency, and I have 2 tickets for tonight.

Well, even though I just deprived myself of any sleep I could have gotten this cool sunday night, i'm pretty sure I won't be too drained to throw myself in the mosh pit at the sound of the bass drum commencing "Drunken Lullabies."

We'll see how this works out tonight-

ok so first post "MY DAY"

So yeah, I really hate blogs, but this one is for school... 

Ok, so my day started at around 5am, when i woke up to nothing- way too early. I tried to get back to sleep- but it just didn't work. so i stayed up, surfed the web, and waited around to go to my 9:30am JRN370 class for three hours. We watched a few examples of some photo essays that we're supposed to do later in the semester. The 3 hour class was full of Ricks dry, sarcstic jokes, which i'm still undecided on whether they're funny in some way, or if they just piss me off.  Got lunch with my friend, then went to my three hour ARS325 Electronic print media class, where the professor showed us a bunch of really cool artists/photographers that do different kinds of portraits, since that's what our first project is. 

After that, i went to the sinc site, where it took me about 20 minutes to print one thing i needed to read. I'd get an error message, and i'd ask someone to help me, and they didn't know what to do adn neither did any of the other 15 people that worked there. 

After that was taken care of, my friend and I went to try on a pair of jeans at american eagle because they were giving out free movie passes if you tried on a pair of jeans.- now i'm in class doing this- so, goodbye
