Overheard in a gas station...

So I'm filling up on gas this evening, and hear this excessively loud cell-phone conversation from this one young dude:

"Yea, so it's this one white boy, yo, he's going to school for journalism or some sh*t, and yo, he's got mad English game."

Not quite sure what to think about that one...

Thems Be Fightin' Words!

If you don't follow politics you may not really find this interesting, but I've been immersing myself in it a lot over the last couple of months, more so because of the state of the economy, stimulus, bailouts, etc. One of the things that strike me is how inept, inarticulate and irrational these clowns that we elected seem to be. Not so this guy. Watch how he just rips the Prime Minister of the U.K., Gordon Brown, a new bunghole in an articulate, passionate, stately and compelling way. I can't imagine politicians talking like this to #43 or #44 with such poise and pride. I have no idea of this man's politics, ideologies and philosophies, but I must say -- I wish all of our officials, no matter their political affiliation, could express themselves which such dignity, passion and force. At the end I swear he seems like wants to yell "In your face!"

Swirling Grey Matter

That is how my head feels.

I don't know who told me to take classes (2 of them) while working full time and being a wife and mommy....

I have a kablillion papers to write and chapters up the wazoo! BUT I am enjoying myself immensely! :)

On to more interesting topics:

In the last few weeks I:

Was chosen for jury duty and was the foreman on the case. Quite interesting. Never served on a civil case before. Awarded an exorbitant amount of money that I really did not agree with.

Connected with my sister who I had not talked to in about 10 years. Without putting her bidness on front street, God can do anything, even if we don't want Him to.

Took the kidlet to the doc for a 2nd dislocated tendon in her elbow. I swear, 2 y/o's and their rambunctiousness....

Was almost in a head on collision with unmarked police cars who were chasing a fugitive. Saw the whole shakedown and the suspect was apprehended. This made me revisit my desire to move to suburbia...or back to ATL :)

Umm, there are SO many stories and things that have been going on...but alas, homework calls and I am too much of a nerd not to do it. :)

God is amazing and gives me grace for every moment of my life. Really.

G'Nite!
