Today, I was reading an article about a 14 year old right wing prodigy. He has written two books on conservatism and even a play. At nine years old, in a Conservative Political Action Conference speech, he oulined 4 conservative fundamentals: constitutional regard, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility. Now please explain to me why this kid can figure all that out, but the rest of the world struggles?? He's my new hero.

According to one study, people become more liberal as they age. If this is the case, they need to lower the minimum age to become president. I'm thinking that would solve a few problems.

Happy Loooooove Day
It's Valentine's Day! I don't care who you are, single or taken, young or old, EVERYBODY loves somebody!! SO this is a day we can all celebrate. I know, I know, LOTS of people don't appreciate this day because it tends to be geared towards those who have a significant other. Well I'm here to tell you, I have a significant other and he doesn't care much about this holiday. I don't get flowers every year or candy or a heartfelt card...nada. BUT, I still love this holiday. I love to see everyone else full of love towards whoever!
You don't have to be in a relationship to be happy and you don't have to have a significant other to be loved! SO to all you Valentine's Day haters out there, remember that somewhere, someone loves you. :)

Wiped
Its Valentine's Day weekend and I'm spending the whole weekend at work. It wouldn't be so bad, but working nights, I sleep all day and then leave for work just as brad is getting home so I barely see him. As its the weekend he might be home earlier and I might get to see him more than I usually do on the nights I work, but working nights is really starting to become a drag. I'm totally wiped out all the time it feels like. I spend my days off trying to play catch up with laundry and housework and misc other stuff, that by the time I get done with that it barely feels like a day off! My mom always says, "welcome to the real world, Em" which is true. I'm sure everyone feels that way, but I can't explain the difference with working nights. Its so irregular.
I don't usually work 3 days in a row so I sleep the day of that I'm going to go into work. Then i work 12 hours and then I come home and sleep. Then if I have that night off, I have to try to sleep at night so I'm not sleeping that whole next day. So then I have that day off and I'm still tired cause I didn't sleep the best the night before because i'm all off on if I'm sleeping days/nights and then i crash at night and then I have to sleep all that next day because I go into work that night! LOL i'm sure that sounds completely confusing and ridiculous but thats my life!
You just never know if you're coming or going and its worse right now as its completely crazy busy at work. Its just run, run, run.
THE ONE thing I can say for working nights, is that I have learned to appreciate my bed in a way I NEVER have before. When its 0630 and I know that I'm going to be home in 30 minutes, I am literally SOOO excited to get to crawl into my bed. I mean I can not wait for it.
I'm hoping for a day job somewhere. The only thing is that almost everywhere you work, you start out on nights, so if I went somewhere else, I'd have to start all over again. And I don't know if I want to stay here... Oh decisions, decisions...

I'm not sure I understand this..
When I first started blogging, it seemed like a fairly simple concept. I would write about my life and people would read it.
Well, already there are a few problems with this.
One being that people don't read it. I suppose thats not a huge issue as the main purpose for me for writing this is to document my life, my feelings, and my thoughts (I also just like the sound of typing--seriously) and if no one else wants to learn about those things, I'm okay with that.
My second problem is that I'm not sure I'm doing this right. After doing some research on blogging, apparently a blog is supposed to influence people somehow. You're supposed to have commentators and marketing and advertisements and designs and polls and auctions and surveys and podcasts and niches. I don't have these things. I also am not very creative, patient, or elaborate. I don't put up pictures or videos. I rarely attach links. In fact, I rarely write about anything of importance. I was googling (can I link that? should I?) "creative blog topics" and this is what I came up with: "Making marketplaces for Media Makers". I don't even know what that means. Is that what other people write about?
I'm so far behind in these things. I feel like my grandparents. I thought I was up on what was "in" with technology.
Hmm.
Apparently not.
My parents always said it would happen.
