I'm having various thoughts running through my head right now. This is not helpful when writing a blog (for me anyway) as I like to plan out what I'm going to write. I usually decide a day or so ahead of time on what topic is most interesting right now (again, for me), outline a plan of attack, and then I start throwing down whatever comes forth.
At this moment I am remembering moments of my life that are bittersweet, political quandary's, Glenn Beck's idiocy, Japan's crisis, and cheesecake.
Why the cheesecake? Because I want some. Really bad.
I wasn't sure if I should write about my Poppo or save that for the next class project. I also thought about how, in my fraternal Grandmother's last few weeks, I was given a more loving statement than I had ever received from her. But then I thought "Wow, way to be depressing......but it is a good story..."
I thought maybe I should switch things up a bit and talk about the various going's on in Politics right now and how Republicans (official, in elected seats Republicans that is) are trying to ruin our country. "Oh, we don't want OBAMAcare, but we're willing to sacrifice millions of jobs so we can keep our cushy support from various corporations and industries. Unions are awful because they get in the way of us giving tax breaks to the rich so they will keep voting for us. Not to mention the fact that we want to make it so you can't even be assured that you will be able to keep the elected officials YOU voted for, in Michigan, in office. That's just our way of fixing the country."
They are so on my dirt list right now.
But then again, it's politics, and that's always a touchy subject. Even if various measures Republicans are taking will screw over the rights that teachers deserve and thereby screw over the students they teach.
But like I said, I shouldn't get to involved with that.
Of course that leads me into wondering, are there really people who listen to Glenn Beck and actually consider him a smart man?
No really. I want to know. Because if the crisis in Japan can be considered the beginning of Armageddon as stated in Revelations, I think there are a lot of people liquidating their assets right now. Get ready for the rapture people! 2012 just came early!
Which then leads me to thinking, how can he even discuss that on air, much less think it? There are millions of people in Japan that are either homeless, injured, or in possible risk of radiation exposure and you focus on RELIGION? It makes more sense to keep the country in my thoughts and send a donation via the Red Cross.
As stated before, many thoughts are rushing through my head and these are only the thoughts on the surface. I have more, lots more, concerning the treatment towards education in this country. But that is worth a blog of it's own.
I still want that cheesecake as well.
