Tomorrow I'm moving from one Queen City apartment to another. I have moved more times then I can count. I've moved at least eight times since I moved to North Carolina in 1998. I'm sure I moved at least eight times before I moved to NC. Hopefully, this will be my last move.
In six months, I'll have a Masters degree, and hopefully a high paying job. I'll be able to afford my own house, and hopefully I won't have to move again. Or if I do move again, it will be to a larger house.
Luckily, in six months, we should be in a full blown recession. At least the housing market should be in the crapper. Which means too much supply and too little demand. So I can probably get a great deal on a house in six months. See, there are good things about a recession.
In six months, I should have a house, a good job, and a dog. I will have reached my zenith. I just have to be patient.

Dick
Its just funny to me. His mouth open as wide as possible, singing in perfect monotone, "Alleluia Alleluia".
At least Pastor Ward is from Albemarle. I can understand Pickler speech.
"Alleluia Alleluia!"

I go to a Yankee church
I sat next to this old man named Dick, who I worked on a Habitat house with. We exchanged pleasantries....peace of the Lord, peace of the Lord.....and then we started singing the first hymn.
Dick is the worst singer I've ever heard in my life. He sings with a Yankee accent. And singing is a bit of a stretch. There is no difference between when he talks and when he sings. So I listened to "Alleliua alleliua" in a monotone Northern accent. It was pretty awesome.
Then another old man went to do the readings, and he had a super thick accent. We've been overtaken by carpetbaggers!
If I ever have children, I can't take them to Advent. Because they'll learn to speak with a Northern accent, and I'll have no idea what they're saying. And with a bunch of UConn fans descending on the Queen City for the football game on Saturday, I can't imagine it will get much better.

Benazir Bhutto: 1953 – 2007
Benazir Bhutto, a former prime minister of Pakistan, was assasinated earlier this morning. This is all truly sad.
No commentary right now. Just a sad, sad day.

Disgusting
Mike Huckabee is on CNN, giving an interview while pheasant hunting. Why is this legal? Shooting defenseless birds for what purpose, exactly? Aren't factory farm chickens and turkeys enough? Do we really have to slaughter every type of animal in the world?
Huckabee, being Huckabee, cracked jokes during his hunting trip. "These three birds..." Huckabee says, pointing to three dead pheasants, "said they weren't going to vote for me on Caucus night. See, if you vote for me, you live."
Is this scary to anybody else?
I'm so sick of these millionaire Republicans going off and playing hunter. (And for that matter, John Kerry and any other Democrat that hunts can f themselves). First of all, hunting is supposed to be used to supplement your food. Some people in this country genuinely don't have access to enough food. Some people genuinely live in areas without nearby grocery stores. Some people genuinely lack enough money to regularly buy meat and they use hunting to supplement it. MIKE HUCKABEE DOES NOT NEED TO HUNT TO SUPPLEMENT HIS DIET!
He's probably not even going to eat the animals he kills.
I'm a vegetarian for ethical reasons. And the largest reason is that I don't NEED to eat meat to supplement my food. I have easy access to large amounts of fruits, vegetables, breads, etc. Mike Huckabee doesn't NEED to supplement his diet with pheasant or deer or whatever other defenseless animal he gets off on killing.
And the fact that he JOKES about killing defenseless animals is disgusting. I will say right now, that I will not vote for any candidate that goes hunting. I will not vote for any millionaire that acts like they NEED to hunt. It is disrespectful to people that GENUINELY NEED to supplement their diet with hunting, in addition to being offensive to myself. As far as I know HRC, Obama, Edwards, etc, don't hunt like that idiot from Massachusets. But if I see someone with a D next to their name, I'm going to abstain.

My experience in a non-job qualifies me to be President
I don't know why I'm so anti-HRC these days. I think its because seeing Bill Clinton, all redfaced, and proclaiming his love for his wife is disgusting. Or it may be that her supporters are underwhelming. Barack Obama has Eric Michael Dyson, and John Edwards has Elizabeth Edwards who is officially registered as a pitt bull with the AKC. HRC has less convincing supporters.
Today on MSNBC, an HRC supporter was talking about how Hillary's time as First Lady makes her qualified to be President. "She met with foreign dignitaries, she passed out punch, she gave directions to the bathroom!"
First of all, First Lady isn't an actual job. We don't cut the First Lady a check. (If this is wrong, and Laura Bush is being paid right now, don't tell me, because I don't need the anuerysm). First Lady isn't a job. She's not even First Hostess. She doesn't take reservations, dammit! She's not going to check my coat when I go there in an alternate reality where I'm invited to the White House. The First Lady simply stands there and smiles awkwardly.
Wait a second. Maybe I'm wrong.
Doesn't being married to a CEO make you qualified to be a CEO? If I married a lawyer, wouldn't that mean I'd have a JD and my wife would have a MPA? If I married Andrew Sullivan, wouldn't my blog be pithier? If I married Guiliani wouldn't I get all his non qualifications? If I married Britney Spears, wouldn't my underwear all magically disappear? If I married my cat, wouldn't I gain the ability to clear rooms with my farts?
I guess I'm being too harsh. HRC probably learned a lot while she was laying in bed with Bill after their crazy Monkey Sex sessions. I'm sure she overheard a lot of conversations when she and Bill were in their afterglow.
Holy crap. Monica is qualified to be President!

If you suck, and your players are suspended....
does that mean you suck less, or suck more?
Florida State has suspended thirty-four players from the illustrious Music City Bowl. Four out of five offensive linemen have been suspended and they are losing thirty percent of their defensive production.
So I'm guessing they win, since those players suck? Wait, quarterback Drew Weatherford isn't suspended, so I guess they will lose.
Go Kentucky!
