Wow....

I usually hate and shun the things that the world makes popular. But maybe their misguided ideas and pride have stumbled onto something truly inspiring!

It is SNOWING here. Groundhog lied. It has been 6 weeks. I want spring now. We cannot see the grass. I pulled my winter coat out of the storage bin where I put it on saturday. I am depressed. I am tired.

"I'm a Marshwiggle! I need the SUN!!!!!!"

For the first time ever....

I can sincerely thank Obama and his administration. In light of my recent posts, I think maybe you can appreciate this very brief article posted on Yahoo News:

ASHINGTON (AFP) – Journalists based in the United States got a shock Thursday when they dialed a toll-free number to join a conference call with senior officials accompanying US President Barack Obama in London.

The number turned out to be a sex chat line inviting callers to use their credit card numbers.

"Do you have any hidden desires?" a sultry voiced woman asked.

"Well, do you feel like getting nasty? Then you came to the right place -- brought to you by the girls of Swank magazine," she said.

Reporters finally got through to the two officials in London -- National Security Advisor James Jones and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- when they gave up on the US "800" number and instead dialed an international number.

The White House did not offer an explanation when asked how it sent the wrong number in an email listing both numbers -- one for journalists in the United States and the other for those overseas.

"Lots of important issues to cover today!" Thomas Vietor, a White House spokesman, told AFP when asked about the mistake in a follow-up email.

When pressed further about the number, Vietor replied: "I haven't dialed whatever number you're referencing. Please call such numbers on your free time!"

Jones and Clinton were being interviewed about the NATO summit on Friday in Strasbourg, but the contents of the call cannot be released until 0400 GMT, in line with rules stipulated by the White House.

Ridiculous!

Please not that this is not a rant against Obama's Aunt, Onyango. It is also not anti-Obama, this is a rant on media distortion and immigration and asylum procedures.

That this is even an issue shows how much of our countries law is a popularity contest, and how little justice is served. Recently I posted a link to an article about a former Nazi who they are considering deported; someone who they cannot prove is here illegally. The media is lobbying for his departure for some gain of their own, but now their heroic law abiding president's aunt has come up and they will do anything to keep her!

They argue that A) not many Kenyans seek asylum here. (implying that they are not an economic or social threat)

B) She needs to stay for health reasons they say because she has some neurological issue. hello! the woman walks with a cane, and pictures of this were the only proof cited in the article about such health issues.

C) She would become more of a celebrity in Kenya and would not be able to live normally. Yeah? So we ignore our countries laws, which our President has sworn to protect and defend, for political and public relations reasons. (not even public relations to our own society, its actually Kenyans who are to have no say in how this country is run)

The article does grudgingly admit the following "People who seek asylum must show that they face persecution in their homeland on the basis of religion, race, nationality, political opinion or membership in a social group. Onyango's reasons for seeking asylum have not been made public"

Sure, expect to blow it past the public as a secret and to protect her privacy. As if the media ever cared about anyone's privacy before this! I think it rather suspicious.

And I have somthing to say!!!!

I was recently the recipient of a "major award" (*snickers and giggles*)


The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their words.

I recently received this award from Q, although I cannot imagine why. Maybe because my persistence is seen in that I torture my precious readers even when I have nothing to say? Anyway, it is still rather exciting and quite a happymaking moment in my evening.

I snowed today. After a week of 58-65 degree weather, it snowed. That was upsetting, since I was supposed to do a landscape for class tomorrow.

And we all found this hilarious, but one of the guys on my hall hit a lampost today with his car, the one right in front of the dining hall. This was somewhat ironic, since lampost is the name of one of the girls dorms. So we shall forever say that Beta1South took out Lampost. It was also kinda funny since the car was fine. There was a small gray mark and one of the lights was cracked, but the base of the lampost was bent into a hairpin, the top was completely off and shattered all over the place, and the insides of the light spilled out of the broken casing.

This is the story of today.

Spring Cleaning

MY layout is all fresh and clean now. I left the snow, just to be cheeky. I like the white layout, high contrast, easy to read. very nice overall. I lost my widgets, but I can't remember what I had on here, so its no big deal. If I won't miss it I might as well get rid of it anyway, right?

Anyway, I am somewhat sane tonight. Still not feeling like writing anything profound right now. I think it is the commitment of an hour or so to actually sit down and write something out without getting interrupted. Even writing this short thing, I stop and watch a youtube video, read a blog, check email, facebook, etc.... I need to focus on something. Coldcase is on. lovely.

AJ is here with me, and Jon. both working. I have no homework that I can really do except a five minute assignment due tuesday.

I guess I'll watch Cold Case then, so I can feel like I can focus on something. Anything!

Me is lame....

And not just my grammar in the title. I haven't posted on here since the 11th. wow. I have a lot to say, but finding time to put it all down is hard. Actually, focus is the hard part. It is just so much easier to watch a tv show on hulu.com than it is to type and think most of the time. I struggle to answer emails too. Ah well, maybe in another week I will have something special to say.
