so many thoughts....

am loving that facebook has a group called "My Friends are Getting Married. I'm Just Eating Laddoos." if ever two sentences summed up my existence, these must be it.

am thinking that teddy kennedy interjected a lot of energy into the dem campaign - that rally yesterday was insane. obama was being annointed as the new, next generation. (and it may have just been me, but teddy looked like he was gunning for veep) as they talked about him being reminiscent of jfk, i really thought about what it may have been like to be alive in that age - were people really that hopeful and optimistic? i know jfk was an inspiring figure, i just think it would be amazing to be that enthusiastic about the future and what we as americans could accomplish, within the context of the greater world.

am realizing that even though i rarely agree with his politics, sometimes bush the man is very sweet. he visited an inmate-transition program in baltimore today, and got all emotional when talking about people needing support for their second chances. he said he knew what addiction was like and mentioned his own drinking issues. the way he met and spoke with some of the clients was just moving - you couldn't help but admire that, regardless of everything else he has bungled.

am admitting how freakin' hot javier bardem looked at the sag awards sunday - perfectly cut suit, open white shirt and mussed up hair. and when he spoke - sigh. seriously, find me an indian boy with a spanish, scottish or english accent, and i'm done. pack it up, adios america, i'm crossing the pond.

am forgetting what else i was thinking.
