Of all the memes to miss, I always seem to do best with Friday 5. Grr. Eh well. Maybe I’ll do a late version of it later. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my Saturday. No appointments or obligations except to get my car in for a regular tune-up and oil change and tweaking. Only downside to that is the cost of upkeep (similar to upgrading dell memory for laptop, for example — it’s costly). I wish I could just take my bike everywhere. That would be sweet. Would save a lot on gas ($1.36 per gallon — W.T.F.?!), energy, upkeep costs, etc. Maybe if/when I get another job closer to home, I’d be able to do that more regularly. Would be nice.

Looks like Obama will be our next Democratic nominee for presidency in November. WOOHOO!!! Let me just tell ya how incredibly happy I am about this. Hillary is such a backstabber — going back on things she’s said, letting violent phrases escape her lips and then making excuses for them later on, etc. As much as I don’t trust politicians in general, Obama is the clearest choice. The most honest choice, if there is such a thing. I’m definitely voting for him, and that’s pretty clear. I don’t think he’s too fond of Hillary either, and I’m hoping he doesn’t have her run as his vice president. The only upside to that would be that Hillary voters won’t vote for McCain, like they’ve been threatening (that’s the most stupidest thing I’ve heard — ever. Why the fuck would you vote for your political enemy just to shove it to your party’s inner competition? STUPID). Anyway, November should be interesting, to say the very least. We have a lot on the line for this country. While I’m busy escaping it, I know there are many out there who are still struggling day to day. I work with them. I fight for them. Every single day. It would be a blessing to have someone in office who understands this everyday struggle of the working class poor.
