3 numbers

Good; Bad; New Start.

Good: 357. Magnum, baby! Weight as of this morning. Also good: 12 more miles added to the long walk to hug Cathyn (he's probably in Kansas already.)

Bad: Income this month, 0. Job apps applied: 14, responses 0. Going to have to sub to get some cash in. It's only temporary.*

New Start: NaNoWriMo, Go! 0 words so far. This year...an Armistead Maupin sort of novel; the times are ripe for it, and it's a good combination of serious and silly, of snark and sincere.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...it was lunchtime.

Upcoming Weekend: Haunted House, Nano start, dissemble house, Bal de Vampyre, help X. at church, busy busy!

*Wasn't this a mantra from last year?

I'm a BItter American

I like guns. I think we need to present a strong posture to the world to keep peace. I have strong views about religion, and am a minister. I believe in truth, justice, and the American Way.

I'm voting for Obama, a man with Irish roots, raised by his grandmother, a churchgoing man who works out, and works with people--provably in his history--who has a voting history I appreciate, and a list of actions I would wish to emulate. Is he a politician? Sure. Only politicians get that far. But I can think for myself and judge for myself, and refuse to vote based on the race or gender of the candidates.

I am something of a single issue voter, and if you talk to me (in person) it's very clear what that issue is. As for the rest, trickle down doesn't, the deregulation of industries by politicians funded by those industries sucks, and I'm tired of the wealth re-distribution being always up.

Yes, I'm a bitter voter.
