NEWS MEDIA SUCCEEDS IN BEING ALLOWED TO PICK WINNER OF 2008 ELECTION
THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS HAVE LOST THEIR RIGHT TO SELECT THEIR NOMINEE
Special Report by the Creative Youth News Team
January 15, 2008
As 18 year olds prepare to vote for the first time, they now learn that the Democratic Party has handed over the determination of its nominee to the mass media and stripped the Democratic voters of their right to choose their nominee.
Stunned voters want to know why the Democratic Party allows ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and NPR to falsify information about the candidates to the point of causing voters to believe candidates running for President have dropped out of the race. MSNBC has a link directly to Hillary Clinton's website. ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and NPR are all telling the voters of Michigan that nobody on the Michigan Presidential ballot besides Hillary Clinton is still running for President. This is a flat out lie. Two other candidates on the Michigan ballot, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel, are still in the race. The news media's false information resulted in a low Democratic turnout in Michigan and substantial voter confusion, today.
In a decision that has only been paralelled by Bush v Gore in effect and loss of electin integrity, the Nevada Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling and allowed NBC to fix the Nevada caucuses by excluding Kucinich from tonight's debate in a seeming effort to convince Nevada voters he had dropped out of the race. He has not. Will voters learn NBC is misleading them?
The actions of the news media appears to amount to election tampering. More disturbing is the silence of the Democratic National Committee, headed by Howard Dean, and by the Nevada Democratic Party. This year, the Republican Party has shown more support for the voters than the Democratic Party. The Republican Party withdrew support for a debate that excluded Ron Paul.
In 2000, the Republican Party was seen as the Party that disregarded the interests of the voters. This year, the Republican Party has worked to overturn that image. The Democratic Party, sadly, is now seen as the corporate party that pushes aside the interests of the voters when those interests conflict with the interests of media corporations.
MSNBC is owned by General Electric, which makes large profits from continued war. All the candidates on the stage at tonight's MSNBC debate brought America the Iraq war and/or its continuation. All candidates on stage tonight have spoken in support of war with Iran. All Democratic peace candidates have been excluded. Peace is not in MSNBC's interests.
The saddest part for Nevada residents is that they will not learn that all persons on the stage of the MSNBC Democratic debate in Las Vegas are responsible for the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Repository, which threatens the life of every person living in Nevada and California. John Edwards voted to override Bill Clinton's veto of a temporary nuclear dump site. Then Edwards voted with Bush to make Yucca Mountain a permanent nuclear dump site. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama voted to fund the project. Scientists agree that Yucca Mountain is a disaster waiting to destroy the Southwest and possibly other regions as well. By excluding Dennis Kucinich, the only candidate to voted against Yucca Mountain and its funding, MSNBC has put in a fix for the toxic project.
Where will peace supporters turn in the general election? It probably won't be to the Democratic Party. It is yet to be seen where the peace vote will go now that the Democratic Party has done everything to throw the peace vote away.
Those voting for the first time may make a difference by disregarding the media and just voting for the candidate of their choice. In the general election, first time voters may want to look at primary debate exclusions and vote for candidates who got their nominations honestly and not through election tampering..

I'm so excited. Brandon and I have been planning our trip to Austin to visit and look at apartments. We need to set up a system where we'll be able to keep in close contact with Marta and show her the apartments, etc, that we find. We found a fairly cheap place to stay that rents you bicycles that you can use to get around. You have no idea how excited after living in this shithole for so long, how excited I am to go back, even for a series of days. Ahhhh.

Just got home from Publix. I quit. I can't handle it right now, and my foot isn't even better so I couldn't work anyway. Everything just decided to happen at the same time, and it's...whatever. Trying not to be a pessimist, Brandon started school today :]. I'm so happy for him, he's so excited. I know he'll do well. Kucinich was shut out of the New Hampshire debates (is anyone seeing a pattern here? First Iowa, then NH) but there was a rally outside where even supporters of OTHER Democratic candidates gathered and agreed that this is unfair treatment. When I was leaving Publix, I picked up my last paycheck. 16 dollars. I bought cheesecake for everyone and some junior mints for Brandon, and got myself a regular soda. I know I shouldn't and it's against my resolution, but I need it.
How is everyone doing? Having a good year?

Happy 2008, I suppose I'll try and write a journal entry for every day.
Brandon's birthday was yesterday. We had a good time. Also, we ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere in pitch black 40 degree weather right after watching 28 Weeks Later. That was fun :].

So
Dennis Kucinich won the Democrat side on IndependentPrimary.com
And Ron Paul won the Republican side.
I wish they would just kill off the rest of the candidates and band together to form DENNIS PAUL!
Damn them. Kucinich would like Ron Paul for a running mate, though. He's already said. I wish Mike Gravel was higher up in the rankings but atleast Ron Paul and Kucinich are up there.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy politics.

This post won't be very long, just wanted to see how all of your Christmases were. I got some nifty stuff. My mom and I are also going out sometime in the next few months and she told me if I went with her to get her tattoo she'd pay for me to get one, so we're both getting tattoos and having lunch I think. :].

Merry Christmas Eve!
The foots still hurting and I have cramps but I DONT CARE CAUSE IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE! I'm so happy. I was worried that maybe Christmas would be a bit eh this year but I'm getting so excited. We're going to Brandon's grandparents/dad's house later on today and having a nice dinner and spending the night. Then we're coming back up here Christmas day around lunchtime and having Christmas dinner here. Brandon, Marta, and I went down to record a bit today, but we decided we're gonna wait until we get all the gear we need. Brandon starts school in a few weeks, hopefully I'll be working again by then. He's so excited. I think the three of us are planning a trip to Austin to scope out apartments and such for Spring Break.
Life is wonderful. I hope everyone has a magnificent holiday and stay safe and all that jazz :]

So Brandon and I were taking down the tents in the back at his house in Punta Gorda, and I was using an axe, and I was throwing it down so it would stick in the ground and I hit my foot instead. Luckily it wasn't the sharp part, but it was still the metal part, and it hurt. The pain went down a bit and a few hours later it got pretty bad. The next day it was really bad, and I tried going into work but I only lasted 2 hours. I went home and rested, and the next day I went into the emergency room. They took xrays and found that it was sprained, and if I had put more pressure on it, I would have broken it. So now I have a cast and crutches *even though I'm using a walker instead of crutches because crutches are too brutal* and I have to stay off of it and out of work until ATLEAST Saturday. If it's not completely better on Saturday, I'm supposed to go in for a follow-up and keep staying off of it til it's completely healed.
Hoozah!
Hoozah!

Today was very fun. Allison came over in the morning and cut Brandon and I's hair for us. Then she had to go, and we picked up Marta and went down to Port Charlotte for the NAHS show. Death of Downtown was playing, and it was nice getting to see Steven and several other people I hadn't seen in awhile. Then we went out to dinner at Chili's with Heather, Adam, and Kyle. After that, we headed up to Venice to change, then Matt and Andrea picked us up and we went to Gbar, which was incredibly fun. We then went to steak and shake at 3 AM, and now we're home.
I'm going to go shower and then sleeeeeeeeep.

I don't think I've updated since Black Friday, so I guess I'll do that now. I finally got hired at Publix. I have to go to a two day class on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then I start Thursday. I'll be demoing, which is giving out samples and such. I'm excited :]. Brandon was tired of the bullshit, retail world, especially after Black Friday, and currently he's taking a break from work. He also starts school in January. He's going to Keiser for his AS in Culinary Arts :]. I'm so happy for him. It means we'll be here for 2 more years, but that's okay.
Christmas is coming up, which excites me also.

So Brandon just had to leave for work. He works from 3:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. I feel so horribly bad for him. I wish I could go with him and defend him against all the rude, arrogant customers that he's going to have to deal with.
I don't understand why anybody would shop on black friday. Are you THAT stingy that you would camp overnight in a fucking parking lot (especially right after thanksgiving) of a store just so you can save a few bucks? Are you that obsessed with money? Has society finally pressured you all into thinking that money is the most important thing in the world? You go into the store all high-and-mighty, giggling to yourself and your trophy wife and bratty kids that you're going to save SO much on this GREAT bargain. Fuck you. So you can go in and try and impress people by being an arrogant douchebag to the employees that are working all day to make sure that your empty shell of a soul self can be happy.
FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU.
Money = Happiness. My fucking ass.
The people who are really happy, who know what real happiness is, are the people who don't have money. The people who know what happiness really is.
Open your fucking eyes.

So I went and had lunch with Marta today, and then I walked to the library, thinking I would be able to get a bunch of books I've been wanting to get. So I get there at 4:55 and apparently there are some new crazy hours where the library closes at fucking 5 on Wednesdays, so I was only able to get about 5 books and I had to rush around to get them. Bleh. They're closed tomorrow and Friday, so I won't be able to get the rest of the books I want until Saturday. Hmrph.
Today has been good, though. If only it wasn't so hot!

So I found out that you (to my knowledge) cannot get a photography degree from UT. You can, however, get one from Austin Community College, which is much cheaper and gives out craptons of scholarships. I definitely think that's my best bet. I'm excited :]
November 18th, 2007
In very good news, I have an interview at Publix the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Aly I'll still be able to hang out, the interview shouldn't take too long, and that's at 10:00 Saturday morning.) If they hire me, it'll be to demo in the Bakery (which means I'd have a little stand with samples to offer to people) EEK. I'm so excited. And I get to work with Marta :]. I'm nervous, but I'm sure everything will go fine.
My aunt and uncle and my two little cousins are coming to visit for Thanksgiving. They get here on Monday and are leaving the day of my interview. It's kind of a mixed blessing, I love them all to death, but my aunt and uncle tend to disagree a lot, which gets a bit frustrating, and puts a bit of a damper on the holiday cheeriness, not to mention my aunt always finds some way of letting me know exercises I can do to get skinnier. /shrug. Whatever.
I have decided (officially now) that since I love both music and photography, I will always be in bands on the side, and I will start being serious about photography as I wish it to be my career. It's too good of an opportunity to pass up, and something is just telling me that I should do it.
And now, I'm going to sleep, because it's 4:06 A.M.
Goodnight!

So last night (being Monday) I was walking out to the garage to get a soda and I slammed into the metal thingy on the door, which ripped my arm open, huzzah. It didn't bleed much, but it sure is swollen. That was my left arm. I had a dr appt today, and they took blood, out of my right arm, which is now sore from that.
AWESOME.
AWESOME.
