frustrated

i have to get something off of my chest. i've heard it in the news almost every day and have seen people talking about it on some rather liberal sites. people are already turning on Obama, and these sites were PrObama before he was elected and then ecstatic once he was (so was i).

i don't like to get too political because i don't follow enough and i'd rather have my readers assume i am stupid than open my mouth and prove it. all of this talk about Obamas failing presidency is really annoying and all a bit premature. he's been in office for LESS than 1 year! it takes time to make changes especially the radical ones that are necessary to help our country. don't forget he has to deal with stubborn politicians with their own agendas rather than the nations.

people are also complaining about his broken campaign promises. to be completely honest you cannot expect much else, after all that's what politicians do. they've been lying and deceiving before the time of caesar, if you believe everything politicians say you are sad and naive and i pity you. i am not advocating lying but take everything that you hear with a grain of salt and go on with your day.

with that being said, i remain hopeful it will get better. i am not so quick to judge and i hope you aren't either, i am merely defending my choice of president.

new things

hi everyone!

recently i visited providence for some fun and much needed QT with sara. the trip was great overall. the only bad parts were driving! as most of you know, i currently am not able to listen to music in my car. my stereo passed away sometime early summer and i had one iPod die of old age and the other was brutally murdered by iTunes 9. iTunes hasn't accepted fault and it will take years before this goes to trial, so there will be no justice anytime soon. my phone-calling, candy munching, coffee drinking 3 1/2 hour commutes to and from providence have been filled with a lot of inner dialogue (or is it monologue?).

i ask myself stupid questions, think about life, and on more than one occasion ask rhetorically what drove that person to speed past just to pull right in front of me and slow down. but i digress, the latest thing i was contemplating was something very exciting. i NEED to move. as much as i love vermont i have been here too long and am stagnant, nothing is changing it's the same old routine day-in, day-out. so i decided to force myself into a situation. i gave my 2 weeks notice at work and decided that after thanksgiving i will be moving to providence to be close to sara, find a job, and get my life started...again.

i am incredibly excited for this next chapter in my life to start. it really isn't ideal because i am not moving with a position secured but i feel it is necessary and i am very sick of hearing myself talking without taking action.

i will miss vermont, but the beauty of providence is that it's only a 3 1/2hour coffee-drinking, candy-munching, music-free drive home. if you know anybody with a room to rent let me know!

i will be keeping everyone updated with what goes down in the next 2-3 weeks, hopefully a lot of good stuff!

'till next time

BlackRoc

i saw this link from one of the people i follow on twitter. Damon Dash and Jim Jones approached The Black Keys to work on a hip-hop project and so far the album has some amazing talent coming through. i was most excited about Mos Def, Q-Tip, Pharaohe Monch, and RZA. here's a link to The Blackroc Sessions, pretty psyched to see talented musicians of different genres work together!
