Good Morning!



...i can't sleep. now how about that. i spent all fall break going to sleep around 10 or maybe a little later, and now i can't sleep. ah well...at least i have to go back to work tomorrow.

voted today. i spent nearly 6 full minutes standing before the touch screen wondering who i was going to vote for. 6 elderly men and women stood behind me probably assuming i was going to vote for obama and ruin their country. i could feel the loathing of my youth and i don't know what else. either way i've never felt so threatened by a group of senior citizens! i did enjoy the tennessee voting experience...totally different from 4 years ago, but hey, i did get my vote cast and all that.

it is interesting to me that my friends are all professionals now. i mention this because a friend of mine works with the pew charitable trust. i called him to chat and he asked me about my early voting experience in tennessee. it's important to him because voter satisfaction and the way voting works is basically what he focuses on in his research. i think most people i'm friends with wanted to change the world...and i think that most of us are doing exactly that. teaching. doing rersearch. science. health care. we're all doing something we believe will make the world a better place. that's pretty awesome. yeah? yeah.

oh yeah...this is me.

i had made dinner that night. food network website. good stuff. trust me.

i haven't done a blog for awhile...we'll see how it goes...i'm gonna go back to watching mike rowe castrate sheep. i love dirty jobs...ugh...
