It was okay the first 3 times...

With voting for U.S. Senate seat taking place tomorrow, I've been reflecting upon my campaign choice. While I will not take the time to review who I am voting for nor why, I will disclose that it is NOT Martha Coakley or Scott Brown. Initially, yes, I admit it would have been Coakley. But what this post is really about is asking the big question of "What the hell gives these people the right to spam my phone line and my daily programming?!" This constant, over-exposure of both Coakley and Brown is causing me to run from the pole lines directly to my nearest Police Station to file for a restraining order. While I was okay for the first 3 phone calls I received from these wonderful human beings (sarcasm), I was slightly irate when it started pushing 8 (and when I say "slightly", what I really mean is "pretty 'freakin"). Usually I would brush off these intense feelings of irritation as just my own short fuse BUT it didn't stop with the phone calls! It went into something a little more unpatriotic! Commercials BAM gone and replaced with political propaganda! "Scott Brown hates rape victims" and "Martha Coakley is a reincarnation of Kennedy with a vagina"! TERRORISM I say! I am a commercial connoisseur! Addict of the advertisements! Hell, I thought the Geico commercial with that horrible ring tone was so hilarious, I got it for myself just because it was so funny! You know, the one that goes ring-a-de-ding-ding-dong....well anyways, you get the point. These precious seconds out of my day, in between the daily television shows I routinely watch during my down time, are now ALLLL being replaced by these cowboy vs. Indian political rubbish. While it's true, my vote is going to somebody who I don't know what he stands for really, I do know this: he can't afford to harass me and therefore we have something in common. Sometimes it truly pays to keep your mouth (and phone books) shut....At least in my poling headquarters :)

Here's Lookin at 'the New', kid..

In perfect "Me" style (a.k.a. two weeks too late) and having read my sisters blog resparking my initial urge to blog, I have decided to write my very first blog on the biggest commitment i have had to make in a very long time....my new years eve resolution (and so far, my lack there of one). Better late than never right? Am i the only person out there that, up until now, didn't take part in that time honored tradition? I think I might have had a few for a hot minute such as learning guitar or furthering my cooking skills but then quickly realized I picked them because the podcasts were free in the iTunes store and I had been looking for some good podcasts to download. Feeling now like I should at least make an effort to pretend to commit (yes, I know I sound like a negative nancy from the get-go), here's my top 3 list:

1. Lose Some Ell-Bee's (LB's/Pounds/Weight God Dammit!)-Doesn't everyone just seem to put this in their top 2 or 3? I'm not looking to be the next cracked out Lindsay Lohan or anything but I'll be the first to admit I can afford to walk the treadmill a few times a week. For this list, I'll be optimistic and say twice a week. To be realistic I'll say once if I'm lucky but now with school starting I most likely will count walking up and down hill to and from the T as that 'once-a-weeker'. Maybe I'll even try cutting down that Iced Coffee with xtra xtra sugar I'm so fond of down to 1 every other day (My lack of funding will mainly help me in this department)

2. Give more TLC...to my 360...my xbox 360. Since I started dating a boy who's favorite video game is Mario and, thus far, it's the only game he's been able to master, I've(temporarily) kissed my Fable II, Halo, and Left4Dead (thanks Dee for the temp. loan, i love you) goodbye because I didn't want to be the person in those horror stories (except with a vagina) that said "no baby, we can have sex in a minute, just let me get to my save point" (like somebody in particular I know) or "HAAAA. DIE MOTHA-FUCKAHHH! Oh my god, did you just see that excellent head-shot?! Babe??..." while they sit, eyes glazed over, not giving too shits less. Almost two years later I've run astray from my relationship right back into the arms of that familiar console. He had me. He always did...:tear: However, I'm into threesomes if Tim ever wants to join.

3. Lastly but by no means least, keep up with this blog! Blogging has been a temptation I have refused to give into up until recently. It was something I considered the forbidden fruit either because I had only read bad blogs or because I didn't know where to start unless I was already in the grove of writing which would be disrupted by the whole sign-up process. In all seriousness, even if I don't keep the last two resolutions, I intend to write here at least once a week (unless more than once a week I'm feeling inspired, creative, motivated, uber shitty, ect.) because I have this horrible tendency to not finish what I....
