It never ceases to amaze me that people over seas are more informed and more intelligent about the state of our economy, and the presidential candidates, than some of the people in our own country.

Here is an example:

I received an email from my friend Pratiwi on the Island of Java, Indonesia. This email below was in response to an email that I sent to her asking her how she was doing.  I never mentioned to her that I was voting for Obama, and with her internet issues, (her internet is down most of the time in her area.) she has informed me that she can rarely read my blog. It has been about 2 months since we have corresponded. In her words:

“Oh, yes i (sic) followed the world news, and your election over there. Few days ago i (sic) even followed the presidential debate and I do hope that Obama gets in. Seems like he’s the one who would be able to bring the changes in America. Yes, the bailout and Wall street brought crazy things to our market here as well. Dollar reached 10,000 rupiaH/USD and can be worse. Prices of basic needs went skyhigh and many paople (sic) cannot afford to eaT (sic) 3 meals a day. So, we are still gratefull (sic) that no matter how bad our financial situation is, we are still together and we eat proper food (even though sometimes humble).”

And then one of my sources sent me this video that is just downright scary.  These people live in America, and seem so out of touch compared to my friend Pratiwi who lives in a very small town on the Island, rarely has internet, and yet she manages to stay informed about our country, and make an unbiased, intelligent comment.   

So back to the video…It is filmed in Ohio. Do they not know how to filter that which is truth and that which is propaganda? We have unlimited resources.  What is their excuse? Is it just laziness? I really don’t think so. I believe that these people just want to believe what they want to believe regardless of the facts. I believe that these people are racist and in no way do they want a black man to be president.

The answers that are given to the reporter have no substance….nothing to back what’s coming out of their racist mouths. They will do and say anything to support their racism.  Either that or they are just palin stupid….oops I mean plain stupid.  Or maybe they are just watching too much of Fox news. They are brainwashed and just too dumb and too lazy to seek the real truth. You be the judge.  

Hi Zen Lill:  How are you?  Glad that someone besides me got a laugh!  Yep..we’ll just have to wait and see how things go. Thanks for the offer – much appreciated. :)

I am out of here peeps. Enjoy your Sunday…

Gratefully your blog host,

Good morning.

My cousin Mary emailed this to me and I found it so interesting. Thanks Mary!

So…to all my readers around the world, if you could vote for our next President, whom would you vote for? Go to ‘If the world could vote’  website and vote. The results will show you who (what country) and how many people in that particular country around the world voted on who they would like to see as our next President.  Will it be Obama? Or will it be McCain? You must vote to see the results.

~~~~~~~~~

Ah..Al: Are you feeling the angst and worry of the country and taking it out on me?  Not too long ago your words would’ve sent me over but today they mean nothing. They are only words spewing from your mouth. 

If you remember way back when I discussed advertising you suggested that I ask for donations and that you would donate. Do you remember Al? Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is?  

This may be a PT job for ZL; she’s a trained writer, but as for me I am not, and it feels like a FT job.  This blog is work for me, and hard work it is. I have never been a writer and I am not sure I consider myself one now, even though I have written every day for the past 16 months. Unfortunately writing has never come easy to me, and to this day it is still challenging. 

I don’t do anything half assed. So when I started this blog I got inspired when I realized that I could channel my creativity through writing.  I made a commitment that I would write everyday and do my best no matter what I wrote about. Some subjects are very easy to write and some are very challenging. But because I care about what is written, it is paramount that I read and research, no matter if my readership is a thousand or a hundred thousand.  

It’s no one’s business where the state of our finances are, but if I can make money on my blog and not have to abandon it for work that I know I can make a living at, (I have been designing clothing for the past 20 years and I am good at it.) then I would rather do just that, so that I can continue to do something that I love and be here everyday for my readers who look forward to the daily writes.  It’s really that simple.   

No Al, your words did not bother me. What bothered me is what Anonz said, “…I doubt the gov’t would allow her to experience that kind of encouragement.” If I do not make money on my blog, at some point I may have to abandon it. That is a fact. 

This is not a ploy to get people to contribute. There are plenty of people asking for donations that are far more in need than I am and still…people don’t donate. And really Al, if there are only a few readers as you seem to think, then why be concerned that I am profitable.  As far as advertisers are concerned, they know how to get the numbers if they are interested. 

Lastly, I have never had the word cunt used in a derogatory way towards me before, and especially not ‘greedy cunt’.  No…my cunt is very ‘giving’.  ”You have the most beautiful cunt.” “I want to fuck your cunt.” “Your cunt is the tightest, hottest, juiciest, sweetest piece of meat I’ve ever had.” Now, those are words that have been spoken. I never thought I’d write about my cunt on my blog. How delightful…

So…Got the visual? Just in case you haven’t, let me tease you with a little photo.  I know you don’t like my face, so I’ve cropped the photo just for you. I left my mouth though….just for a little added pleasure.  

PS: Don’t try to zoom in and see my cunt. Hahhaha! I know you’re messed up Al, so I’ll let you slide. Tao’s been screwing with your mind getting you ready for that space travel that you so desire. Just remember….If we ever do have that ride together, I’ll let you smell it, but you’ll never get a taste of it.  You’ll wish you had the chance to be pussy whipped by this!…C’mon… tell me your laughing. 

I just had to end there…much better with a laugh than anything else…yes?

Loyal Readers: You know who you are…Comments? You know what to do.  As always….

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

Italy:  You are correct – there are many who are bigoted but I don’t think those that are think that the world will go down in a blaze of smoke. No, the bigoted ones feel that McCain is the answer to our survival as a country: ‘God forbid a black president – no never! It will be the demise of America!’  Let’s hope that those who think that way will be the minority in this election.  

Fredrick: The polls might be fixed…who knows.  Unfortunately common sense is not that common, and unfortunately you can’t learn it like one can acquire book smarts. Anyone can be informed and book smart with enough time and reading  but you can’t learn common sense. You either have it or you don’t…kind of like ‘street smarts’. I would much rather be born ‘dumb’, so to speak, with common sense knowing that I can learn, than be brill with no common sense. Therefore in regards to this election, don’t rely on common sense…Hell, just getting past all of the BS so we can get to the issues is difficult.  No, good marketing of the candidates is usually how a party wins.  The people who don’t take the time to get informed will pick the person who’s in their face the most.  However, my feeling is because Obama is black, bigotry is playing a huge role this time around, and unfortunately it is more common than common sense.  

Ivan: How sad. You sound angry and vindictive. You have grouped Russians together just like you have grouped Americans together by stating that ‘the US will finally get what they have wished upon Russia for the last ten years.’  Would I ever say that I welcome the downfall of another country? No, never.  What ever you are referring to here, it doesn’t really matter, but in defense I will say that I have never wished anything bad upon Russia or the Russians, or for any country for that matter. 

Why would I not want the best for any country even if the country I reside in is not living up to it’s potential as a world leader? I guess that’s why the saying ‘Misery loves company’ is well known.  Yes, we vote into office who we feel will best run the country, or at least we try to – we all know corruption happens at the polls. But we also know that most of the time it is not the people of one country that strike a deal with another country; it is our governments, and the corps, and the bills that control the government. Our leaders have proven to be corrupt at the expense of the people. But back to you Ivan…What you are wishing upon us, for McCain to become President, will not only be bad for America but as Doug pointed out, the rest of the world too. How narrow minded your wish is. 

Delatam: I agree with you…It will be the fall of Modern day Rome if McCain is elected.  Sad too that you wish it upon us.  Again, here you are giving shit to the white US citizens, and I may say rightfully so in many respects, but you, like Ivan are coming from a small place. McCain in office will only empower those whites leaving the OTW’s in a worse place than they are now.  Is that truly what you want? If not, then talk about ‘cutting off your nose…’  If so, then just say so instead of giving shit to the whites when you are acting just like one by giving your support to McCain.  You’ll be calling us bigger pigs if he becomes president with his policies. 

Pierre: So you too are wishing for the fall of modern Rome. You don’t see it as a bad thing. Wow.  

ZL: That Azir is interesting…I don’t get why he writes you personally and asks you to post it – why doesn’t he just comment on your blog? Looking forward to reading it. 

Readers: How disappointing to get all of theses comments from people around the world that wish for the US to go down.  Yes, I believe in ‘an eye for an eye’ when it comes to perpetrators but when it comes to a country as a whole where innocent people are involved, I have never in my life wished for misery to rain on an entire country.  I see us as world citizens with different cultures and backgrounds living in different parts of the world, the space that we share. Yes some citizens are better than others but would I wish for the fall of a country just because of bad behavior of some of the citizens? Does the fall of a country make others feel greater? Seems so.  Or is it just the US because we are the preeminent world leader? What other country would you like to see in this position besides the US? 

Hmmm…this world citizen thing…I realize we have a long way to go. Yes, there are many bigoted people in this country, but I believe bigotry unfortunately is part of humanity. What does it say when one points out bigotry of one country and then turns around and acts similarly? I don’t understand it. Until we as world citizens rid ourselves of this ‘disease’ we will never truly be equal citizens of one world.   In the big picture, the world is so small. It is too bad we can not share this space equally, and wish the best for all of the citizens. It is what I wish for.  Obama thinks of us as world citizens and will give us the platform; not McSame Same.

That’s my write for today…Carry on readers. 

Peace for everyone and always….

Gratefully your blog host,

I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day catching up as we hadn’t seen each other in a very long time. Of course the election came up and we started chatting about you-know-who.  I began to tell her that you-know-who had been the focus of my blog and conversations for the past two weeks. That I was feeling obsessed over all of the drama around her.  She mentioned that she had thoughts about her but that she hadn’t really discussed it with anyone. Hmm..I thought that was very interesting.  

Then she brought up the ‘pain body’ from Eckhart Tolle’s  book, ‘A New Earth’ and we chatted on about how Eckhart says that the voice in the head has a life of it’s own. How most people are at the mercy of that voice; they are possessed by thought, by the mind. I realized that in regards to this election and really mostly in regards to the negatives that the media in this election is bringing out, I knew that I was feeling this lately: possessed. I have control over my thoughts. I know this. However lately, I have let my thoughts run random in my head from everything that I have been seeing and reading, and yes I have been a bit obsessive. I admit it. 

And I am sure there are many of you out there feeling the same way. I also know that it is time to stop giving you-know-who so much of my focus and focus on the outcome that I want. And furthermore, as Doug said to me later on, “The media is wrapped up in all of this BS and so are the people. Let’s focus on the issues.” So true. Obama has been stating the same over and over. It is time we do just that. 

So that being said, now that we are all informed of the drama circulating, all the ‘he said, she said’, all of the family matters, all of the incompetence…its a bit like high school drama – eek! I’m done. I say let’s change the focus to what upsets us, to what we don’t want for this country, and focus and visualize on what we do want. Let’s give power, universal collective power to what we want to happen, to what is important to us and leave all of the BS behind. I’m sure something will surface again; the repugnicants are famous for bringing up trash and marketing it well so that we, the people fall into their traps, focusing on all of the drama instead of the issues. It happens every election. And the media is a perpetrator too.  But let’s be smart…informed…but smart and let’s not fall into the trap this time.

Everyone who knows me or reads my blog knows I’m voting for Obama/Biden.  As I said above, ‘I’m done with the drama. I’m going to focus on who I want to win this election and the important matters: The issues.’ 

Readers: Who ever you’re voting for, are you done with the BS and ready to focus on what’s really important? Comments? Blog me. 

Doug: Loved your comment yesterday. Right on and straight forward.  

That’s it for today….

Peace and Love: Live it, give it.
