2:16 pm - caesar is being put down
my cat caesar is being put down today. he has tumors in his ears and on his body. his head is always bleeding and flies buzz around it. I'm just sad because the poor thing loved our family so much and he didnt know he was going to die today, but all of us did.

current mood: gloomy

10:52 pm - contact
i want to call you. however, being a second grade teacher, i have no time to even see my fiance with whom i live. this presents a great problem since i want to talk to you for hours. i want to know everything. and since i can't. i dont' call. not because i don't want you. but because i won't even be able to give you what i want to give. please don't hate me.

love

10:26 am - CNN/You-Tube Debate
So, this big hyped "Debate" that I watched last night was frankly, disappointing. It was; however, not so terribly disappointing as other debates I've seen in the past. I think that the personalized questions, the ability to shoot a small video with all sorts of information about the people just by seeing them in their homes/churches/yards etc. had a much bigger impact than professional and polished journalists asking all the questions.

For the most part I was satisfied with the quality of the questions asked and was pleased with the mediator, Anderson Cooper.

Hillary: She didn't seem genuine to me. Every question she was asked she made sure to address the individual, "Thank you Shirley, from Little Rock AK, and thank you for asking me, Hillary Clinton, about what I would do for you as President of the United States." She sounded like a bad made the the masses form letter. Other than that, she tended to focus on what she has already done for the American people. She was flaunting her record and not extreme enough in her stance on such things as the middle east, gay marriage, and co2 emissions. I will say though, that even though I was disappointed with her co2 answers, I still thought she was more in line than Obama.

Edwards: I felt his true outrage when he spoke about Universal Healthcare. I'm not sure how his plan would really pan out, but I like that in the end it would be mandatory. When he spoke about his firm beliefs in God and then his absolute stance on the separation of church and state, I had a lot of respect for him. As a person of little to no personal faith in God, I don't think the President of the United States should be just like me, but I do believe that using personal faith and morality based on scripture to pass or deny legislation is wrong. It was refreshing to hear him say that he believes the same thing from the other side of the fence. At the same time, he seemed not to have the diplomacy about him and the oratorical elegance of either Hillary or Obama. In the end, I couldn't envision him carrying the country. But I do very much like the idea of him as a running-mate.

Obama: The question CNN was talking about like crazy after the debate was "Would you meet with unfriendly nations' leaders the first year of your Presidency?" His answer was spontaneous and refreshing. Of course he would. Hillary answered that she wouldn't want to be used for propaganda and would send presidential envoys. It just sounded stuffy and sly. Of course I wouldn't expect Obama to go to these countries if it 1. endangered himself too greatly, or 2. it wasn't going to help the overall image of the US. I don't think he would jump into things too quickly in action, but at least has the willingness to speak and attempt an action that I agree with whole heartedly. You cannot punish countries you don't like by not talking to them. His outspoken refusal to be bought by lobbyists of all kinds is something I like about him a great deal. His attempts at humor (the jacket of Hillary and the hailing of taxis in NY) make him seem more natural and not the Fembot personality his opposition projects. I was disappointed with his responses about co2 and using only a downgrade of fossil fuels rather than renewable energy as his main argument, but for the most part he didn't let me down.

I could write about Richardson, Dodd, Kucinich etc... but I think I've done enough.

As far as the Democratic party goes.. I don't think there was a single candidate I hated. The Angry Guy aka. Mike Gravel was in fact very angry but I still didn't think he was out of his mind. Dennis Kucinich had great ideas but I don't think he's quite President material. He's also a running mate kind a guy.

Anyawys, I'm done.

11:55 am - yes, you, commercial and marketing execs...
are you reading my journal? have you discovered that i like disney world? red delicious apples? power tools and traveling?

are you not a real person? maybe you're just a little scrapper machine and since i've mentioned the word journal in this entry you are going to google adword me and try to send me spam selling leather-bound journals...

are you my future employer? what do you think you're going to learn about me here? that i'm mentally unstable? that once when i was in high school i was angsty and angry?

I'm not sure what I want to do. Recently I've felt overwhelmed by digital data. I've put plenty of my own, by my own free will, right here. Sometimes, my most personal thoughts and feelings that I want to share with my friends are here. At the time, I didn't think random other people that 1. I didn't know personally or 2. I hoped would supply me with jobs, would ever read it. However; it's in the news. People are being rejected from companies because of their Myspace page. Teachers are reprimanded at school because of their blogs. Marketing companies are looking at the wealth of knowledge that people are posting to the internet, uninhibited by formal surveys and their usual information gathering techniques.

Do I want a cyber life? One that is documenting everything I've ever experienced? For anyone's pleasure?

How about cell phones. Everyone tends to agree we freak out a little too badly when they are lost for any amount of time. Going to the grocery store without one makes me feel like I'm missing a vital organ or extremity.

What is checking my Myspace, Livejournal, and Facebook Newsfeed daily really accomplishing? If I wanted to know what was going on with my friends, ones I actually care about... wouldn't I be talking to them directly? Is talking to them through electronic means less personal? Or is it just the medium of choice? I know I would be impatient to send a letter to someone and wait for the correspondence that would take an overwhelming 6 days round-trip domestic.

I want something more personal. I'm not sure if more personal necessarily means un-electronic...
Maybe it's just that myspace and facebook are too big. and maybe it's just that livejournal isn't locked down to save me from corporations. i want my electronic life to be incorporated into my

REAL BREATHING TOUCH ME BECAUSE I'M A PERSON

life.

NOT

some completely different alter ego.

i just worked my first day at the actors' playhouse in coral gables.

i've come to this conclusion:

i will not stay on the bottom long.

i need to be the producer if i want to stay in this business and not spontaneously combust.

the end.

<3,
