I spent most of the afternoon on the phone, and it seemed like I had to sit through some annoying country music song before I could actually talk to each person. Argh. This horrible trend must end! A phone is not a jukebox. I hate suffering through music I don’t like just to talk to someone. It puts me in a very foul mood. Yes, I get it. Your skin is white, your neck is red, and you’re proud to be an American. Please find a different way to express yourself. I don’t make you listen to the Village People when you call my phone. A double slap on the hand for those who are business owners. Be a professional and answer your phone like one. You do not need Willie Nelson to provide you with an introduction. It’s not just about country music (although that pisses me off the most). It’s about the constant crap consumers buy into from their cell phone providers. I feel the same way about text messaging. I don’t even have a text plan (gasp!). Why would I pay another $30 per month to receive messages on my phone when I am at my computer 16 hours a day? Did e-mail stop being cool? Now at least with that, I can understand how it makes sense for some people, especially those on the go. But for me, I’m usually at the computer. So no texty for me. As for the music… I see no point. You’re making an assumption that everyone likes the same thing you do and everyone has time to sit through it when they call you. Bad phone etiquette x 1000. 
Senator Clinton was my personal choice for the next President. I have passionately supported her throughout her campaign and defended her during some of her darkest days. I didn’t agree with everything in her campaign, but that’s what support is… It’s believing in a person even when you disagree with them. Support is not to be confused with agreement. It’s the same with a loved one, a friend, a colleague. You might not always agree with them, but if they’re important to you, then you should support them. Senator Clinton was important to me. I wanted her to be President. Having said all that, Senator Obama won, and he deserves my respect and support. He has always been my next choice. I don’t dislike him, or having any major problems with him. I simply liked Clinton better. But he has many qualities I admire, and the bottom line is that he is our official Democratic nominee. So I want to say congratulations because he’s made it. I want him to win in November. I want him to take us all the way to Washington. I believe he is a stronger choice than McCain, and I believe he will help get our men and women home safely. I also believe he will help build a better America for all of us. It’s very important that he and Clinton work out their differences and move forward in a way that is productive for America. Will she be the Vice President? That remains to be seen. I really would enjoy that. But it can only work if they can truly work past their differences. Whatever the case, it’s important to realize Clinton has millions upon millions of supporters. She only lost by a very small margin, and this needs to work out in a way that brings Clinton’s supporters over to Obama. Those numbers are crucial for November. We need those votes to nail down a solid win against McCain. I hope we can all work together to get Obama in the White House. Our country cannot afford to go backwards anymore.
A new site has hit the web, called FaceStat.com. You post a photo of yourself and strangers judge you. They judge your age, attractiveness, trustworthiness, intelligence, and even use words to describe you. I should preface by saying I’m a very sensitive person. Very sensitive. But anyway, I did it. These are the results… My age: 31 (I’m 26, thank you very much) My trustworthiness: Super trustworthy My intelligence: Bright My race: Other (WTF?!) My attractiveness: Not bad (Some voted “repulsive”, others voted “not bad” and “good lookin”. The median vote was “not bad”.) Words to describe me: Nice, happy, outgoing, earthy, cheesy, attractive, goofy, pleasant, trustworthy, and whoa In a cold, harsh world where people are uninhibited online, I guess I made it out fairly unscathed. It could have been worse, right?

First I want to start with Senator Clinton, and then I want to finish with Senator Obama…
Why, oh why, did I sign up for this?
