Girl, You So Well Spoken!

You know what really grinds my gears? Seeing my people (you know who "my people" are. check the profile photo to the left if you're confused) wearing Obama t-shirts, putting up Obama profile pictures, singing Jeezy ("My president is black..."), or participating in any other form of the celebration that is Obama-rama all the while they are NOT REGISTERED TO VOTE!!! The next fool I see wearin one of them $10 Obama/MLK shirts with a fitted and some Nike's to match who is NOT in possession of a voter's registration card is gonna get a "n!gga please!" and a kick in the @ss from me! Stop the MADNESS!!! It is inexcusable for +7 million of my people to still be unregistered.

Malcolm, Marcus, & Martin are rolling around in their graves right now.

Get out there and vote guys... do it for me, you know la migra will be making sure my kind don't get to the polls!!! lol :-)

As Perez sez... Completely gratuitous! There's nothing wrong with a little swirl in the evening, Bust-It-Babies! Embrace it! This is an equal opportunity blog! Plus, I happen to Stan for Gossip Girl, but that's neither here nor there... (sidebar: I just subscribed to a year of Details & GQ. No, seriously. I think women should read men's magazines. Just like I believe that every man should have read at least 3 Cosmo's before dying. Not like, right before. But just some time before... ya know)

For some reason completely unbeknownst me I am on Youtube watching throwback New Kids On The Block videos. This was going to be a serious blog, I promise it was, but I have officially been distracted by the sexiness that is Donnie Wahlberg. At 39 he could still get it.

So I was browsing a friend's blog and I came across this post of a comment. Thought I would share it with my number 1 bust it babies ;-) :

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....

* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic,different."
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well-rounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the firstblack President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drivethat registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as Constitutional Lawprofessor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district withover 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and HumanServices committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing astate of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on ForeignAffairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, youdon't have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city counciland 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months asthe governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified tobecome the country's second highestranking executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a realChristian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left yourdisfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including theproper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no otheroption in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teendaughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in aprestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community,then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't representAmerica's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWIconviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaskafrom the USA, your family is extremelyadmirable.

OK, much clearer now.

Expressions of a Buppie

Did you watch the debate last night? Well, the results are in, and seems that the masses say that Round 1, Obama-1 McCain-0

The big topic of the night was obviously the financial crisis. Honestly, I don't know if I feel that any candidate really has the best idea on how we can see our way out of it... But I think I know who does...:

Ok, so I'm gonna take a break from "studying" for my credit exams tomorrow to waste more time and BLOG!

I took a brief nap and I dreamt that I was in the airport shopping when I looked down at my cell phone (because my subconscious knows I don't wear a watch) and saw that my flight to Chicago left in 10 minutes! I freaked out and then I woke up. I think my brain was basically trying to say "b!tch, time is up, get outta bed!" Thank you, brain, I got the message.

Speaking of Chicago... I did some spontaneous online shopping this weekend because I wanted to buy some stuff that would make me seem witty and down-to-earth in that hipster artist kind of way. Spare me your opinions about being myself and all of that. I am being myself, but let's be real about this, Jodie is kind of all over the place, so I'm picking carefully which parts of "myself" I'm going to express through fashion. Anyway, I basically picked up some awesome screen print t's that I'll probably mix with both casual and dressy looks. Because I'm serious, but I'm also here to party. I bought 3 online from Busted Tees: one I'd been wanting since I was actually still an English Lit major, another one that is not political at all (I swear!), and another one that takes me back to old times. I won't wear all 3 of course--I'm only there for 3 days, and I don't wanna seem like that one-dimensional-screen-print-tee-wearer... Friday will probably be screen-print tee day. What other looks should I build?

In other news, do you realize that Grey's Anatomy returns in T-minus 27 minutes?? So what will I be doing? I will be sitting with my face plastered to the screen and my finance books cast to the wayside, laughing, sighing, saying "seriously?", and probably crying. Join me and millions of others around the country. Come on, seriously, do it...
