Why? There’s an app so I can blog directly from my phone. How freaking sweet!

I was concerned that the most historical date of my lifetime would be Sept. 11, 2001 – the date that World changed: mass paranoia regarding safety, thousands of Americans voting to lose rights for the sake of safety, the legalization of racial profiling, a nation quickly reverting back to its discriminatory ways.

Then Nov. 4th, 2008 – Dem. Illinois Senator, Barack Obama, became 44th President United States of America. He is the first half African-American president of our nation. Tomorrow, he will be prepping his move to the Oval Office, and for the next four years, our country will see if he will actually live up to the many promises he made. Will he bring the change we can believe in?

Will Pres. Obama really close special interest corporate loopholes?

“Cut Pork Barrel Spending: Obama introduced and passed bipartisan legislation that would require more disclosure and transparency for special-interest earmarks. Obama and Biden believe that spending that cannot withstand public scrutiny cannot be justified. Obama and Biden will slash earmarks to no greater than year 1994 levels and ensure all spending decisions are open to the public.”

Barack Obama on Fiscal Issues

Why do I pose this question? It’s pretty apparent for Obama to raise the money that he raised is well over the soft money limitations set in place during the Clinton Administration (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just google soft money, Clinton). Well, of the $600 million plus dollars Obama campaigners managed to raise, only 25 percent of those donations were under $200 – as reported by the Washington Post.

The rest of his donations did in fact come from large corporations and special interest groups. I know many of you are wondering, How can that be true? Obama said he didn’t accept any monies from such groups. The loophole lies in the McCain-Feingold Act. Soft money donations exceeding $2300 can be accepted as long as the monies are shared between the candidate, the party committee and the state committee. If that will actually happen, you can never tell until the IRS does an audit. Read more about this here. What is even more unsettling is that McCain’s contributions are all being reviewed, but none of Obama’s.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe Obama has the great potential as the President of the United States – but I don’t believe he will be as bi-partisan as he said he will be. Politicians will always play the political field with special interest groups.

Mr. President, I hope you don’t disappoint.

So, I went to the gym after hanging out with James.

I walk into the locker room, getting dressed, and I hear a man’s voice! I totally thought maybe I walked into men’s room, but nope it was a tranny!

She was in full garb, bright fuschia dress with matching heels, poorly stuffed DD bra… it was nuts. Then I remembered her from Wells Fargo, and she used to asked us where to get cute shoes in bigger sizes, and I recommended Zappos.com.

Anyhow, she was talking to other women in the locker room about her reassignment surgery, and how she is so happy and blessed that she is truly a woman now.

Hooray for her!

Night!

I was catching up on my feeds, the wonderful Perez Hilton posted the new Hilary Duff single, Reach Out. Can I say, WOW~! What a hot video?! Totally out of character for her, and it’s so hard to imagine her actually be so sexually aggressive. I think this would be her first single that I know that I feel she is screaming, “Dammit I’m sexy, so let’s fuck already!”

The lil Duff who’s claim to fame was the very annoying Disney series, Lizzy McGuire and at that time, she reminded me way too much of the freakish looking Olsen twins. As time progressed, she became less akward looking (I think losing the baby chub and the veneers helped greatly). Now, she is a gorgeous fashionista who is a great role model for young women. Let’s only hope that this single isn’t going to lead her to whoredom like it has for her pop predecessors, Brit Spears, Chris Aguilera, and Linds Lohan.

I was catching up on my feeds on my Google reader, when I came across these amazing photos of Zombies from daily does of imagery. Sam Javanrouh, an Iranian-Canadian photographer, has some of the most amazing photos I’ve ever seen. I definitely encourage all of you to subscribe to his photoblog and purchase his prints.

Anyhow, why haven’t I ever heard of this before? Toronto Zombie Walk sounds like so much fun, but of course we don’t have anything like that in California that’s FREE. ::hmph:: I want to dress up and pretend to be a Zombie for a day, is that too much to ask? If any of you guys want to go next year, let’s start planning now! I’ll take a 2 week vaca, and I’m sure I have relatives up there that we can stay with. Let me know!

So I got my G1 Phone a day early.. was at my door on 10/21 7PM sharp.

The good things… it’s everything I thought it would be.

The bad things: It doesn’t import your contacts from your SIM card.. they have to be in your GMail contacts already. Not enough apps are currently available. I made a mini-review for y’all to see – check it out!

I’ll write more later… I have a date with the dance floor.

In twelve days (Oct. 22, 2008) I’m  going to be receiving my G1 Google Android phone. I’m so excited!

Yesterday (Sunday), I washed my own car for the very first time, EVER without any help. It was by far the most relaxing thing I’ve done all week. I must say, I feel very accomplished.

I’ve always paid for someone to wash my car at $30 bucks a pop.. until I realized how expensive and an unnecessary expense… then just a few months ago, I finally drove into one of those drive-thru gas station car washes… at $10 bucks a pop.. but no interior.. and my first time doing that was disastrous! Alot of the reason why I’ve never washed my car was because I’m super girly, and had no idea where to even start with the washing… and it was just easier to go to lunch and drop off my car while I ate at the restaurant, and have my car super clean when I was done with my meal… or I would convince my mom or one of my friends to get it washed for me.

Anyhow, I’m glad James introduced me to the world of quarter car washes… I got the interior and exterior done for $5 bucks. I admit, it was hard work considering I’m so short, but I did it, and I can’t believe my lazy ass didn’t do it before… considering at one point I was paying $30 every 2 weeks for 2 years… that’s $1560 dollars I’ve spent.. If I’ve only done it this way back then, I could have saved $1300 and probably wouldn’t have skimped on washing my car like I have been because I thought it was an unnecessary expense.

Anyways, just a random blurb since I can’t sleep. Go Me!
