Disses

Disappointed. I just read up on the poll counts, and I've gotta say, I really expected to see better turnouts. I witnessed and heard of "the longest lines in history" at the polling places; yet the turnout numbers don't reflect the same sentiment. Look at places like New York and California. Think about the population of those states. Then look at how many people really voted. Sad and disappointing.

Disconnected. I miss my friends in L.A. so much right now. My best boyfriend is going through hell and upheaval in every aspect. I feel helpless when he needs me the most. My best and oldest, dearest girlfriend (more like a sister) is about to have another baby, and I won't be there to see him grow up or to help her change diapers and wash bottles when she's sleepless and wiped out. Another sweet friend just had a milestone birthday, and lots of people came from all over (across state lines, even) to help him celebrate. I couldn't go, for my three exhausting but absolutely necessary jobs. And there's Bunny, my sister, my cousin (who visited two weeks ago and I've missed every minute since she left). And I really, REALLY miss my church. There's nothing like it here, and when i think about it, I get really sad. Although I'd had just about all I could take of living in California when I left, I feel like I'm in some alternate universe or something, not quite "gone" from there, just disconnected.

Discombobulated. Crud! I have so much work to do everywhere I turn, I'm getting overly creative with my spreadsheets, and too technical with my art. There's laundry in the kitchen, and dishes in the bedroom. Shoes on the bed, pillows on the floor. You get the idea. Calgon, bring my combobulation back!

Time

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Whoa, that's actually apropo given that tomorrow is the big primary for many states. And we need ALL the help we can get - our country and our freedoms are in trouble and it's only gonna get worse! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

The original purpose for this blog was to remind myself that the clock is ticking, and I have a pretty long To-Do list. Now is the time to get serious about that dreaded hunt again. Now is the time to start smiling more. Now is the time to lose that weight so I can wear a CUTE swimsuit in Maui. Now is the time for me to make that last-minute call to someone who is yet undecided about how he will vote tomorrow...YIKES!

Now is also the time for me to start blogging again. Yeah, I blog on myspace, but it seems like my best topics are wasted there. It's time for a REAL blog again. Hopefully, I won't let my readers down!

Uh, it's also time to check my dinner in the oven...brb!

Okay, back. Can I say anything else about time? Time...well, time won't give me time. Morris Day has some though.
