How I feel about Everything, A-Z, Whether you Want it or Not

Don't blame me, this was EJG's idea. I think he's feeling a little guilty about his lax blogging habits. The following is my current state of mind. Or maybe think of it as a year in review, A to Z. Now that I've done it, fellow bloggers, I lay down the gauntlet. Who dares to pick it up?

A- ANTI
Anti -immigration. Anti-War. Anti-Abortion. Anti-Drug. Anti-Racism. I’m so tired of negativity.How about this: Pro-immigration reform, pro-peace, pro-choice and pro-child, pro-addicts recovery programs, pro-equality.

B- BARACK OBAMA
He’s kin to Cheney? Loved his books. Loved his speech at the Democratic convention. Love his energy and his optimism. Not sure about him as a candidate.

C- CLINTON
Bill – Probably one of the smartest presidents ever. What the legacy will read remains to be seen. Hillary- She’s not Bill.

D- DEPP, JOHNNY
Talented and Yummy. Who cares if he can sing?

E- EDWARDS, ELIZABETH AND JOHN
Her cancer came back, and they’re still running around campaigning. Is he a viable candidate? Is she going to be okay? And what about their little boy, Jack, age 7?

F- FRIENDS AND FAMILY
The former are a joy. The later make me crazy. Both enrich my life.

G- GOD
If he/she is really out there, does he/she really will people to hate, to maim, to kill in his/her name?

H- HUCKABEE
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I- IRAQ
Don’t get me started.

J- JUDI, THE TRAINER
Oh, how I love the way she hurts me. She makes me believe I’m a gladiator.

K- KITE RUNNER
Compelling and beautifully crafted. Don’t want to ruin the read by seeing the film.

L- LUNGES
Calisthenics of the devil. Worse when Darth Judi, the trainer, commands that they are performed while holding 40 lbs. of hand weights.

M- MOTHERHOOD & MARATHONS
Huge undertakings both.

N- NEW HAMPSHIRE
Lovely state, a bit cold for my taste. No more qualified to choose a president than the Supreme Court was in 2000.

O- OJ - THE “JUICE”
Oops, he did it again.

P- PEOPLE
More alike than they are different. Wonderful, mostly.

Q- QUESTIONING
The foundation of our democracy. Why do we have a stamp tax? Why tax our tea? That’s how our country began. Not an anti-American activity.

R- RELIGION
Personal. Inappropriate when worn on a sleeve, pushed in someone else’s face, or proclaimed as a qualification when seeking a job in secular America.

S- SCHOOLS
We’ve got it all wrong. Too much too soon, without time to process or to learn to love learning. Big mistake underway, and we may feel the fallout for years to come.

T- TELEVISION
I heard that the writers went on strike. It hasn’t affected my watching habits, though. MASH is as good as ever.

U- UMBRELLA –UH – UH –UH, AY-AY-AY
Man, do I hate that song. Nothing but dreck on the radio these days.

V- VEHICLE
She’s recently hand washed, the top is down, and I’m cruisin’… to Publix. Whatever, I’m loving the ‘Stang.

W- WORKOUTS & WRITING
A bitch to do, but they feel great when they’re done.

X- EX-PRESIDENTS
Carter’s work has been heroic. Even GB the first has done good for people since he’s out of offices. What will the second do post D.C.?

Y- YOUTH
Definitely a state of mind. 29 and holding.

Z- ZZZZZZZZ
Sleep. Highly underrated. Pillow time is the best time.
