I was looking out my window, witnessing the first snow fall, when a Squirrel came to me and asked, “Why are nuts always so crunchy?” — Things are really exciting right now (busier than usual). It’s caused me to be unable to update this blog in any normal fashion. Truth be told, I’ve never been able to update it steadily but still, I’ve wanted to reach a rhythm that seemed less absent — What have you been up to? I’ve been writing, singing (and relaxing). I see the Holiday hustle and bustle began with one New Jersey employee being trampled to death by shoppers. What made these people stampede?—A sale on plastic eating utensils or shampoo? — Seriously though, this isn’t good. What’s the world coming to? And to think that a discount store could have anything worth stampeding for in the first place; maybe they should put cattle crossing signs up during the holidays (it works in the country). Let’s kill chickens (a crowd cheers), let’s kill cows (a crowd cheers), let’s put cats in bottles and sell them as antiques (a lowering of volume ensues); just kidding, the animal rights activists would have us incarcerated, but hey, go to your local discount store and — that’s right folks, it’s a regular stampede. Hope you’re happy, safe, and doing what you want to do (or can), even if it isn’t exactly what you had in mind (at least you’re able, right)?

Americans showed up to the polls and voted in record numbers. The turmoil that our country has seen, from the war in Iraq, to the economic crisis’s has broken through the complacency that’s blanketed our dreams. In Barack Obama’s victory speech, he spoke of the need for all Americans to work together and to get involved in rebuilding this nation. With change comes hope, and with the reawakening of countrymen everywhere, all things become possible. Let’s hope that this historical election points to a greater day for all citizens of the United States. One in which we reclaim our country and demand accountability * Make a $5 Contribution?
