There is a saying that says words only have the power that you give them. This is a saying that for the most part, I believe. For me there is one word in all of the world, in every language, that has it's own power, no matter what you put into it, it still maintains its power...
Last night at the concert, the band, Sugarland, opened up with a song that I have really enjoyed, below are some of the lyrics:
Is it the face of a child
Is it the thrill of danger
Is it the kindness we see in the eyes of a stranger
Is it more than faith
Is it more than hope
Is is waiting for us at the end of our rope
I say it's love, I say it's love
Is it a veil or a cross
Is it the poet's gift
Is it the face that has launched over thousands of ships
Is it making you laugh
Is it letting you cry
Is it where we believe that we go when we die
Is it how you were made
Is it your mother's ghost
Is it the wish that I'm wishing for you life, for your life, for your life the most
I say it's love
Can you guess the word?
So yeah, I'm pretty excited. Tonight I am going to a concert....for all of you that are wondering, yes it is a country concert! It's a band called Sugarland, who are my favorite country band! I am going with my cousin who lives here in Jacksonville (not the ones I live with), so it should be a fun night!
I have great seats on the floor, which will be a lot of fun! Anyways, if you have a chance, look up Sugarland and listen to some of their music, it's really good!
So, tonight I just watched my Tivo-ed episode of The Big Bang Theory from Monday and now I have a new favorite saying...
Holy Crap In A Cracker
Ever since daylight savings ended on Sunday morning, I have been waking up even earlier than usual! But in the days up to todays election it has given me the chance to watch some of the early morning news and this morning I head something that made me optimistic, no matter which way this election goes. On the Today show they were interviewing Tom Brokaw, who said:
"No matter who wins this election, I think this will bring an end to the apathy in this country."
So, think about that today, no matter who is victorious tonight, both have done something remarkable!
So I have been watching all the news shows (real and fake) and enjoying the election season (with the exception of those damn campaign ads!) But there has been one thing during this election that has stood out:
Tina Fey! Yes you read that right...the breakout star of this election season has definately been Ms. Tina Fey. I mean, she was a big celebrity prior to this, but now that she has portrayed Sarah Palin, in what might be the best SNL impersonation ever, she has gone into the stratosphere of celebrity-dom!
Congrats to you Tina Feylin - This Election is For You!
That's right! This past Thursday I went and voted early! I had heard numerous complaints of long lines and people waiting for hours....but not me! I got to the early voting area at around 5:30 PM (after work) and found a parking spot, went inside, stood in line for about five minutes, and then was sent on my merry way to a voting booth, where I had to connect the arrows!
I honestly felt like I was back in Kindergarten. They have two halves of an arrow, and in order to cast your vote, you had to complete the line, using a special marker. My only problem was, do I draw a single line, or do I create a thicker line the size of the rest of the arrow. Oh well!
Anyways, if you have not already gone out and voted, Tuesday, go to your local precinct and vote!This message paid for by the Campaign for The Scribbler. I'm The Scribbler and I approve this message!
Well, it has been quite a while since I have posted a blog. Actually, it has been two months! And what an eventful two months it has been....in fact I will slowly be catching everyone up on the life of The Scribbler, over the remainder of the month. You might be asking yourself....why over the rest of November, it just started....Well, November happens to be NaBloPoMo, and I am trying my hardest to participate this year and post a post once a day. So, here's some of the things you will be hearing about over the next month:- The New New Used Car (long story)
- The Old New Used Car
- The Home Show
- Everything You Wanted to Know About Closets, pt II
- The Hunt
- and much much more!
Pay attention over the next month for some fun and interesting posts!
