dave...

no, not matthews. dave ramsey. i am officially on the dave ramsey plan. (if you're not familiar, do yourself a favor!) so, here goes. i am not good at sticking to a budget. i tend to "rob peter to pay paul". i'm gonna give it a valiant effort. the goal: get my car paid off and my 2nd mortgage!

american idol

every freakin year, they suck me in. i'm not proud.

politics

yeah, i'm going there*.

i had a strange realization the other day that seriously jacked with my mind. bush sr. was elected in 1989. if hillary wins (God forbid), this means that the presidential office would have been held between two families in the last 20+ years. this is jacked up. it is insane to think that anything in this country is going to change when we basically continue to reelect the same people. i am ready for change...most people in my generation are ready for change. we want to be inspired. i am not inspired by the state of our country. i am not ready to see more of the same.

*see disclaimer...need i remind you, oakbrook does not necessarily endorse my thoughts.
