I am interested in political economies, the environment, human rights, how cities function, community development, coffee, reading, homebrewing, thrift shopping, and interpreting cities and public policy. I am concerned about social justice and the fate of humanity and the environment that supports us in the 21st century.
So I know you're married, but I think you have a secret crush on Obama, that's okay though...I think I might too, did you see him with his shirt off??? Ha! Hope you're doing well!
Right on. It seems like a lot of the AK crew has been sucked back home. I miss it sometimes. But, I'm doing well in Portland. I graduated in June, still work at the wing joint (easiest job of my life!), and have a manager that want to snowboard as much as I do. Martie and I are super happy. I just need to figure out my life, that's all. Its good to hear from you. Chao!
Hey buddy. Did you and Mirna move to AK? I was wondering what happened to you guys. I haven't had internet in months. Soo out of the loop. Catch me up! Oh and YAY OBAMA!!
AH, I see. While on one hand its okay to make a joke at one side of the lines VP pick, and post a pick of her wink, when something similiar is done to your candidate its suddenly an attack...very interesting indeed. If we really want to look at it, Uhbama is a pop icon right now. The media flooded their broadcasts with pro-Bama support, while viciously attacking and demeaning the other side. You will say this isnt true, we've had this discussion before, but I can link you to a report concerning Ethics in Journalism that demonstrably shows the bias that was played during this election. To those that actually dug deep and looked into Uhbama's philophies and what he stood for, I can give a kudo's, while it's not the way I'd like to see our country go more power to you for having that opinion. To the mass sheep who followed Uhbama hand and foot, I tip my glass to you, your drinking kool-aided, I'll continue siping on my sanity. To further prove my point, what other President in history has been given a televised post election (days later) massivly broadcasted air-time. Not Bush, no, no, no, the media and that koot Gore were too busy trying to pin the tail of a "stolen" election on the donkey; and here is another case of "shoe on the other foot" When Demo's dont get their way in an election they cry "vote fraud" and "anti- civil rights" but when THEY engage in it they are quick to come to the defense of systems that are pro to them, and make excuses, calling for America to look away from a few silly people who accidently signed up Mickey Mouse and a graveyard of corpses to vote. A further showcase of America loosing it's way is the VERY thing that got your candidate into office, he was capitualted there by his ability to convince the DNC to turn to caucases as opposed to straw balots, I could go on and on about this, but my post is getting long. Lasly, there are going to be a lot of dien
I want to go to the rally but I work! Call me! I've been sending handwritten "support Obama" postcards to people in Iowa. Let's get together and have a fiesta or something K?
mike mike mike, I'm disheartened by your political stance. i bleed red just like everyone else, but im white in the knuckels from clenching my fists so tightly and blue in the face from wasting breath on obama fanatics spreading crazy rumors across UAA.... we need to have a discussion my friends.
it twas somewhere outside of salzburg, austria. i miss you too. we should go grab a ber or somethin and i'll tell you what i really think about sarah palin.
