Congrats Mom!

Life is pretty intresting, how it unfolds, and if your patient things just might fall into place.

Recently my Mom's graphic business has been suffering along with much of the economy, however there was a part-time lecturer position at my college that I pursued her to apply to (it was in her major) and that was in... APRIL. We'll she just got a letter today saying she has been selected and would be contacted later ... blah blah. But how crazy is that. It does not mean much obviously yet. She will doubtfully be teaching anything fall quarter, but in either case its pretty nifty I think and we will just have to wait and see what the universe has in store for us next!

Happy Sunday!

The online community

Hello Blog world!

Maybe it is because I have an enormous amount of spare time on my hands, or maybe I am just feeling behind the times, but I feel like I need to step up my online community skills. That means post more blogs, update my online accounts, I just joined digg, and some how publicize myself a tiny bit so that I am not doing it all for nothing! I don't need a huge fanbase or even a medium sized one, but it'd be fun to connect with some people in the blog/online world.

I've said it before, but I am going to try again to recommit myself to this blog! If anyone stumbles across this and knows how to publicize one's blog better let me know!

Thanks
Dylan

bad talking points

Tonight was historic. Barack Obama, an African-American was nominated by the Democratic Party to be the president of the United States of America.

Over the past four days the Democrats have layed out their case of why Obama should be the next president of the USA, and I must admit ... it's convincing. The Republicans have their work cut out for them.

But what got me pissed off was the Republican's Response on Larry King Live on CNN after Obama's speech. One of the comments was made was how Obama did not talk about 9/11 (which he did) and how BUSH has kept us safe, and there hasn't been another attack on us since then.

I disagree, president Bush has not kept us safe. Unless I am mistaken just under 3,000 people were killed on 9/11. 2,740 of them American citizens. Since then due to Bush's brilliant plan of invading Iraq 4,150 Americans have died as a result of military casuaties, and 30,568 have been wounded (officially) according to this website. That is not keeping America safe! (Just as an aside, 4,000 of those american deaths was after "mission accomplished")

So in conclusion, Republican's have a LOT of making up to do if they want to redeem their party.
