50 First Dates

My husband and I watched 50 First Dates last night and I must say it was too funny and too sweet. I admire the fact that Adam Sandler's character in the movie stopped being so shallow and opened up to a wonderful, albeit unconventional, relationship. I feel that if everyone took a step back and learned who they are, what they want, and what they don't want out of a relationship, there would be more happy people in happy fulfilling relationships. A couple of years ago, I wrote in my journal a list of qualities I was looking for in a man. I knew for sure I would never find a man who would fill all of them, but if he filled most of them I knew he would be the right man for me. The inspiration for my "list" was from watching Practical Magic with Sandra Bullock. In the movie when she was a child, she wrote a similar list/magic spell and wrote qualities she knew would never find in one man, so she would never fall in love and end up hurt. Later in the movie, she ends up meeting him and falling in love. I ended up putting my list away for a few years and only took it out when I met my husband. That's a whole other story, which I'm sure I'll get to once I post my list. I should also put why I wrote the list and all the jerks who led me to it. I'm gonna go dig it out and post it here.

Need a mental break, BRB

I wish I could go back to St. Lucia!! My husband and I went there on our Wedding/Honeymoon in April and the island is absolutely gorgeous. The people are friendly, the food was great, and we had not a care in the world. The only news on TV was for their national sport of Cricket. If you wanted depressing news, you could turn to a US station via satellite. Beautiful beaches and sunny days, sipping drinks by the ocean. Back to reality...

Living here in the US is stressing me out lately. I think that's why I started this blog, among other reasons. I need to vent and this feels like my only outlet to do so. I am so disappointed in our leaders and lawmakers. We are not children who believe everything our elders tell us, so stop lying to us! I have felt so much angst over how we are handling this war in Iraq. From day one, I felt we were wasting our resources on some personal vendetta. Understandably, Saddam needed to be taken down, but it was Bin Ladin who attacked us. If we were going into a war on terror, go after the one who terrorized us and attacked us first, then go after Saddam. I read yesterday about how there was no link between Iraq and Al-Qaida. This supposed link was spoonfed to us from day one as one of the reasons why we attacked and now there is no proof?! There is also no proof of weapons on mass destruction, umm, destraction. If all the reasons as to why we went to war have been slowly chipped away and made nonsense, what does that say about our leader and our country? Taking down Saddam has had no impact on our safety from terrorist acts because Bin Ladin is still out there!! He's the mastermind behind the attacks and the reason we started this war on terror. Why haven't we caught or killed him yet?

I heard today how Howard Stern is going to be pushing people to vote for Kerry in order to get Bush out of office. I think its good that he's trying to get Bush out of office, but Kerry?? Honestly, I don't see him as any better than Bush. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a liberal, but just a disgruntled democrat who feels our country is on the wrong track.

My thoughts and random chatter on the web? I'm unsure as to where to start with this and what direction I want to take it. Gotta think a little more about this...
