currently on my mind:
-just read an article about republican presidential hopeful mike huckabee which said that he was gaining ground in the ultra-important state of iowa for the primaries. and frankly, im glad. although i don’t believe in his pro-life and anti-gay marraige stance, i like him because he isn’t dogmatic about these beliefs. he is the first conservative christian to actually seem like a compassionate person, saying that it’s only God who can judge people. he spreads a message of hope and love, which is hard to find from republicans these days. he is also very layback and cool. he doesn’t seem to take himself so seriously, like guiliani and romney. he is in a band. he’s a pastor.
i wouldn’t vote for him if he were the republican candidate, but i’d be glad that he was nominated.
-i just watched 28 days later last night, and i am still captivated by it. such an amazingly eerie storyline of a man waking up out of a coma and finding himself in an abandoned city. then discovering that he’s not alone, and that there are infected people everyone that come after him. even in scenes that were supposed to be lighter and joyful, like the market scene or the picnic scene, i was terrified, waiting for the next attack. the music was so perfect, and it made my skin crawl and my heart was throbbing throughout. the addition of the soldiers to depict the parallel cruel nature of uninfected human beings was a nice touch and twist. i am entranced by the images of walking alone in an abandoned city, and constantly under the fear of being attacked and eaten.
-i just read an article about how obama used pot, cocaine, alcohol and goofed off in his childhood with regularity, specifically in an attempt to deal with his issues of identity, growing up as a black man with a white mother in hawaii. he grew up in college and lost his naivete and became socially conscious and changed his life. great bill clinton-esque story of using drugs!
-also bought some shoes from my new obsessions: whiskeymilitia.com… the fact that there are expiring deals makes me want to buy the product even more! great marketing strategy!
