THE RNC (YEEEE HAAAAW)

I've been delinquent in my bloggery. I've been remiss in not commenting on how proud i am of "obiden" and the dnc. But what better time to write than the start of the RNC. Its old, its raggedy, its curmudgeonly, and its the rally for the retards and for whatever reason i'm gonna watch the majority of it. Already in the 1st two nights it lacks luster, but i guess the conventions have never been about excitement rather a platform to restate policies and agendas. But with Obama on the other side, and a woman with whom controversy follows, its become very entertaining. It is sort of a circus. Something the tabloids will get a hold of. Im sure Palin is gonna be on those crappy magazines you see at the grocery check-out lines for months to come. Needless to say, im voting for Obama. He's Black, i'm Black...thats good enough for me. But seriously, like a good friend of mine said to me on the phone the other day "you'd be crazy to not vote for Barck O if you want something better for this country." I agree. These folks giving their speeches at the RNC have this convoluted quote stating its not about the party its about the country. I thought thats what it was always supposed to be about.
The Repubs keep bringing up "keeping the country safe" and 9/11 no doubt was the catalyst for it all; putting fear in the heart of your enemies is a good tactic on most levels....So lets look at this thing objectively, no one fears McCain, i mean, look at him. And if he is no longer able to perform his presidential duties (smart money is betting on it) Palin will have her finger on the button? Word? You tell me what "our" enemies will think then. Not a good look. But for the next two days let the idiocy continue.

TIMES IS HARD!

Something about downtown Atlanta is special. Since i've moved into the new condo about a week and some days ago i've gotten to see a lot more of the actual downtown area as opposed to the midtown area. Unlike midtown, downtown atlanta has yet to be fully gentrified and the result is more crackheads in a concentrated area. I gotta tell you, the atlanta crackhead is unlike any other. They're jive ruthless and overbearing but sometimes they're even comical. But lately it seems like everybody is on that stuff. A while ago a dude in a suit smoking a cigarette asked me for some change, i guess he was the sophisticated bum. Then you got your bum crackheads that always wanna get a quick ride down to the local wal-mart, and this always amazed me. Its happened 3 times this year that i can distinctly remember. I think they figure since they aint got nothing to do that i aint got nothing to do. Then last and most disturbing you have your ol' lady bum. She looked like the church lady in the 1st row with the fruit basket on her head who drives the old cutlass. She was backing out the parking lot yesterday and saw me, stopped and asked "excuse me, can you help me get a gallon of gas?" She really didn't look too safe but for some reason i felt bad for her situation. I'm like damn i know the gas is high but is this how you gotta pay for it? I cant call it but something aint right out here. Obama for prez
