Waiting For Something To Happen
Interesting if you enjoy seeing someone’s brains splattered across the screen-not literally you sicko…Basically this bad-boy has become a source of cheap therapy.Archive for US election
…not shy away…
So there you have it. The election is over, the good guys won. It’s not my country but shit you couldn’t have watched anything that happened tonight and not have gotten that warm feeling inside….well, as long as McCain wasn’t your guy.
I said it here before, and I’ll say it again, I’m jealous we lack someone with that kind of charisma Obama has in this country. If only we could reanimate Trudeau.
Interesting side note, on the topic of politics, I had a friend suggest this week I try my hand at some government style jobs – but not in bureaucracy, but rather in the political side of things. They even went o far as to suggest I consider running for something. I really appreciated that, it was nice…..but that won’t be happening.
Other things that won’t be happening? That novel. I know, quitting so soon eh? Well, it’s more a case of the work in progress – the only thing occupying my mind and insisting, pleading for me to put it to print, is basically way too personal for me to share still. I will finish it, but on my own terms.
In the meantime, I will use the year leading to the next NaNoWriMo to map something out in my head, and I’ll plod along with the work I have now…..when it’ll see the light of day however remains to be seen. The players in the story will probably agree with me (if they knew I was writing it) that some time needs to be a buffer between our experiences and making said experiences available for everyone else’s eyes. I know I need time, its still too fresh. I need some perspective on it.
Also, may I say that this new Dears album is lovely. They need to make a swing back through Atlantic Canada again, it’s been too long.
It’s been a long night, but it’s full of a fresh feeling that if you can be willing to take control of your life and not shy away from getting your hands dirty, then you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
Damn, so jealous.
In that vein, I challenge anyone reading this to pick something, one thing, and work towards making it a reality – big or small, it doesn’t matter – because in reality no action is small in the grand scheme of things and there are no small roles, only small actors.
We can all go back to feeling defeated later on, time to ride the wave while we’re still on the crest.

Wow, it took forever to get here. (The page wouldn’t load….been here waiting for 10 minutes).
So 24 hours from now, the election will be over, and a decision will have been made – just as long as Florida gets it’s shit together. (I’ve also got my eye on you Ohio).
Although I can’t say the usual “if so-and-so wins I’ll move to Canada” that’s popular down south, so how about this: If McCain wins I’ll move to Mars?
OK probably not, but I will shake my head, as the perfect opportunity to make any kind of decent change and step in the right direction will have been tossed into a garbage heap. No wait, down the hole in a outhouse. Yeah, just like that.
Also, it would be nice to feel this way about a politician in this country, as it would be a welcome change of simply feeling sorry for them and their obvious lack of charisma.
…inner critic…
I will admit, the novel writing hasn’t been all great. I’ve always found my inner voice stifled by my inner critic less at night…..and I think it’ll have to wait until then. I got nothing accomplished last night, but to be honest some msn conversations and the like ate up all my time – plus I was legitimately tired as of midnight. The past 15 minutes of writing in my head but puting nothing down means I should heed my own advise and wait. Fingers crossed.
In the meantime, I have the new album by The Dears to enjoy. It was leaked and although I do plan on buying it, I grabbed the leaked version because I mean, the suspense would kill me. So far I am a fan, but I’m not sure how I want to describe it yet however. So far it has been a bit more mellow and a bit more “searching” then the last….really that was the best adjective I could come up with, it feels apt though, as this song here just descended into some kind of OK Computer-gangly-guitar-style interlude.
Not really sure what else to mention, except I’m hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst regarding the US election. Once again I’ll be on nights so I can’t see it unfold, but I’m sure my phone browser will be refreshing in OT getting updates. Oh, in a similar vein, if even one ounce of this story has a grain of truth to it, then I’m bypassing Godwin’s Law and saying this woman may indeed be as bad as, or worse then, well, those really bad dudes from the third Indiana Jones film. (I never typed it out, you can only infer, I can deny – $5 says she’s one of those eager to sue types, you can tell by the rod shoved up her ass)
Seriously though, if even emotely true then she a terrible example of a human being, feel free to quote that.
Oh, I almost forgot, I came across an interesting blog today. I am very much a fan, I’m too lazy to blogroll it at the present second – too busy procrastinating the novel – but here’s a link.
