Say it Ain't So Joe!

I am really disappointed that Joe Biden did not put in the intensity he normally has during last night's debate. I think he played it too safe with Palin and in doing so it makes her come across like a formidable opponent when in fact she isn't. While she is not stupid, to me she does come across as mostly gloss and not enough substance. There was concern that Biden would be to mealy mouthed during the debate when in fact that is what Palin did. I wonder how many times she mentioned John McCain? Seemed like all of her responses had his name in it. She hasn't identified herself as a standalone. Biden should have come out of the gate forcing her to answer questions rather than glossing and backtracking on only the subjects she was coached to respond. We already know why the moderator didn't go on the attack with either candidate (book controversy) but really there was no substance there to be had.

On a separate note, was sick yesterday. So sick that I couldn't get up for most of the morning except to go the bathroom. Stayed home. That sucks. Just started an already I was out sick. I hate that! Oh well...what can you do? Certainly would not have benefited anyone to attempt to get on a NYC subway while sick let alone be in an office where you can't be productive for the day. For the most part though I've been sleeping well. Getting at least six hours. Hope the stretch continues. I do believe more darkness coupled with cooler weather is helping. I need to get back into a regular exercise routine. Timing and injury are playing there negative part in the mix but I will work around it. The goal is to lost another 20 to 30 pounds before the year is over. I can do it if I simply concentrate in addition to not letting emotions control my eating habits. O.K. better go.

Oh What A Night

Well it isn't late December back in 63 but oh what a night it was! Just after 1am I woke up an my heart was racing. Apparently the booms of thunder outside was so loud it literally woke me out of my sleep! I immediately put the pillow over my head and ears as well as my eyes in case lightening was to follow. LOL. I'm such a kid. I know. Storms like that frighten yet amaze me. I obviously have grown up quite a bit. I feel back asleep about five minutes later.

Didn't get a chance to get back to the post yesterday. Busy with writing projects at work and after work I went to a volunteer orientation session for an event i'll be offering my time with in the next upcoming weeks. They seemed a bit disorganized but i'll chalk it up to too many people and it being their first major event hosting. I better go. It's getting late. More hopefully later. Need to catch up with thoughts on the bailout mess. Senate votes today. That should be interesting. It's October already. Time flies.

Oh...forgot to add...had a dream that I was in a beachhouse with tons of sand and like 20 foot windows overlooking the ocean. I remember having fun and saying i'm going to own one similar to it but not exactly. Nice. Always good to have positive dreams.

777- The New Demonic Number

Wow! What an interesting turn of events on in government as well as on Wall Street and what will happen for those of us on "main street". God's symbolism is so fitting when he really wants us to pay attention. Too bad many in government aren't doing that. I find it ironic that today and tomorrow many, including elected officials, will be celebrating the Jewish New Year despite all of the turmoil our nation is facing. What ever happened to separation of church and state??? All of them should be working to fix this mess that they allowed greedy businessmen to get us involved in the first place and not be at home eating and celebrating. I have to go...got up late so i'm behind by about 15 minutes. Will pick up with this post when I get in the office.

A Brand New Day

I know....i've been a bad blogger. Just too many outlets to keep up with. I am sooooooo...going to detach from many sources but I must say that I do like having a few moments on this thing to write. Just taking a few moments before leaving. It's been quiet the past week so I have taken the time to simply "vegetate". Did some fall closet cleaning and weeded out some items for donation. At the end of October most of the summer stuff will go out also. The goal is to have a closet that is only half full. It's not overflowing at the seems by any means but I'm trying to move away from keeping things that I don't use or need. I always have such a hard time parting with clothing since in my head i'm like "if I get rid of it and then needed it i'll have to spend to replace it". I am so close to paying off my credit cards by December. I'm soooooooo excited. I have also started to rebuild my emergency fund. Literally depleted it over the course of two years but it was indeed used for an emergency...to live and pay my rent, etc.

Still doing battle with the landlord. His entire family are a bunch of asses (sorry to disrespect the donkeys of the world). Can't wait to own my own home soon. At least with that the only one who gets aggravated is the homeowner...me. Anywho, I better finish getting ready. Will play catchup later. Looks like it's going to be a great day despite the 700 Billion Dollar mess! More on that later too.
