Getting political.

Lou Pritchett is a former vice president of Procter & Gamble whose career at that company spanned 36 years before his retirement in 1989, and he is the author of the 1995 business book, Stop Paddling & Start Rocking the Boat. This open letter was sent to the New York Times but was never acknowledged or published.

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

The Hangover is a decent movie. I reccomend seeing it on dvd, whilst drinking. At the theatre alone it was chukle-worthy, but not great. In fact, I laughed the hardest for the trailer for Extract.
I've really been in a funk this week. Just moping around and feeling sorry for myself. It is not a fun place to be and I can't seem to get out of it. I stay up until 2am drinking, then drag myself out of bed around 12 to lounge at the computer. I don't know how to get out of this rut. I was looking forward to going to trivia toinght, but Bree didn't have the money, so I moped then got out of the house and watched the hangover. I am going home on Friday, so that should at the very least cure me of some of my boredom for a few days. Things are really tense between my sister and my mom right now and I'm not looking forward to being in the middle of that. plus theres the funeral thing for my nana. plus i'm sure my family is going to ask how my boyfriend is. such fun awaits me, after an 8 hour car ride! I do have a neat book on tape by the guy who wrote dune, so hopefully i'll get sucked into that. But really, I am in a self-pitying rut. Pandora keeps playing love songs and there is nothing on the internet. It is midnight and I should probably sleep, but I feel like getting a little tipsy and staying up. The roomate's 16 year old sister is here, but whatever. I can be the wierd fat alkie roomate. GAH. I need to magically get in a better mood!

Cat fact #1

Zuma eats her plastic placemat when she runs out of food. I am not a bad cat mommy, I am talking about 30 seconds after she eats the last kernel. WTF? And she looks up at me with sad eyes too.

Star Trek

I went and saw Star Trek tonight. It was awesome. Really really awesome. So awesome that I wish I had seen it sooner, and wish I had the funds to go see it 10 more times in the theatre. I went alone, and remembered how much I like seeing movies by myself. I am the type of person that likes to be fully immersed in the experience, and absolutely hates it when people talk to me during the film.
The movie made me cry a little, and laugh out loud, and jump out of my seat (then again I am quite easily startled), and root for Kirk. My only complaints about the film are these:

• Nimoy is fucking old
• Explosions/booms in space
• JJ Adam's tendency to shine bright lights and do really fast cuts in action scenes. I am not quite ADD enough to like this.
• Tattooed Romulans (then again, it alludes to the idea that these are not your run of the mill Romulans, think what would happen if Mike Tyson were the representation of humans).

I read somewhere, or heard one of my friends say, or something (I can't remember) that they hated the idea of a young crew being in charge of a ship. I completely agreed with this - until I saw the movie. They have a great explanation for everything, and I am going to marry the guy that plays Kirk. yum. Sorry, I lost my train of thought for a second.

Beneath my incoherent ramblings, I will say that this movie was fucking awesome and everyone who is lame like I was a few hours ago who hasn't seen this should go tomorrow and experience this on a big screen with surround sound. I'm sure the Hangover is just as good on a tiny tv, but Star Trek, not so much. And Leonard Nimoy is fucking old.

One of the funniest things I have seen in a long while

"I just wanted to make is snow!"

I feel like screaming and I can't explain it.
I need to get out of this house, and out of this town.
I have 2 weeks left until a vacation that begins and ends with an 8 hour drive, and a funeral in the middle.
I'm so fucking glad. :D
