Most of the time I do not pay attention to politicians because it does no good. We have been made to believe that what we the people want makes a difference. It does not. We have been made to believe that politicians are of a higher moral fiber than the average person on the street. They are not. They are people just like everyone else. Just because they go to fancy schools to achieve the training to become senators,judges and congressmen does not mean a thing. If they do bad things when they are younger they will always do bad things when they are older. The ethics classes they take does not only show them how to do the right thing it teaches them how to cover up the wrong thing. If you know someone who steals do you allow them in your house unsupervised? No. If you employ someone who steals do you fire them? YES. When did the line become gray? When did it become ok to allow people to continually lie to you? When did it become ok for the average person to struggle to make ends meet while they have taxes taken out of their check to pay the RIDICULOUS salary of people who lie,cheat and steal? 
 Come one. I live in a small town. there is a prominent politician who comes home from Washington D.C. to relax in my small town.. My mother went to school with this man. His daughter works at a electric cooperative, that he is/was a member on the board, for the average person to get a job there is like pulling teeth from a tiger with no anestesia,almost impossible. They hire family or on a smaller scale minorities(mostly janatorial services). I know about how much it cost when his daughter was married. It was a "grand" wedding. Don't get me wrong the people I am referring to are very nice and I have heard no scandal but I see thecost of their living here in this small town. What is it in D.C.?
 My point is that our government IS corrupt but then again most governments are. We pay for their raises. They just raised minimum wage but check out how many times they have voted to give themselves cost of living raises. Drive cheaper cars. Live in a normal house instead of a huge house. Average people do this. Why is it "expected" that our politicians live any better than a middle-class person? Do they have to fly on a private plane? Do they really need to drive a SUV that is top of the line? Not just on in the procession but about 2-5 when they go somewhere. I understand security. There are nutjobs out there but why only 2 people in one Tahoe? CARPOOL!!! I PAY FOR MY GAS AND THERE'S. It takes anywhere from 50- 100 dollars to fill up an SUV. I have one. My friend has a Tahoe. 100 miles and you have less than a 1/2 tank.
 I'm just tired of hearing people in office apologize for stupid crap that would land the average person in jail. When one of them gets caught you can bet there are at least 20 more of them doing the same or worse who have not been caught. It's safe to say that the mindset of these people is "Well the Senator/Congressperson from BLAH BLAH does this. If they can get a way with it so can I." BUST THEM ALL. They obviously do not learn by example so clean house. But then you would need someone who could not be bought or intimidated. Someone with no skeletons. Does that person exist? Probably not.

Don't Blink
I love this show. I missed a lot of it the first time. Thank God for syndication. There are so many things in that show that is truely like my life. Another show is According to Jim. It's sometimes like they are spying on my life for some of the episodes. Tim is so like Jim. My reaction are a lot like Cheryl's.
Funny isn't it how our lives run a course and when you are young you relate to such things as your favorite rock star etc. Then as you get older and become a parent you can relate to your parents and what they went through when you were the age of your kids.You become known not as Sonya but as Ryan and Meaghan's mom. Then you realize you that you compare yourself to SITCOM PEOPLE! Come on I made fun of people who did that.(No offense) What happened? I was fun and the center of attention. I had the world at my feet. Now I'm 37 with 2 kids,a husband and a mortgage. What! Happened! Where did the years go. My son is a senior and my daughter is a sophomore. They were just born yesterday. Kenny Chesney is right. Don't Blink.

Sometimes
Sometimes I don't want to be here. I don't want to be there either. I don't want to be anywhere. I don't like where I am. It's too hot now. It seems that we are going to skip fall again this year. I watched the Weather channel today to check on hurricane Dean and saw that it was 60 something degrees up north. We had another 99+- with a heat index of about 104 today. Andalusia Alabama is hosting the Babe Ruth World Series through the 24. There are teams here from New York, Minnesota, Hawaii just to name a few. I really feel sorry for the boys from places where the humidity is almost or is nil most of the time. There again it must not be that bad on them because the NY team is currently on top. There is a team from Mobile Alabama. They should be accustomed to the heat and they are not on top.
Sometimes I want to be there. Anywhere. I want to travel and see things. I want to see England,Scotland,Wales,Ireland. I want to see Spain and France. I don't really want to see any places that are hot and dusty. I want to sit and listen to a knowledgeable person lecture on places I want to go and then go. I don't want the touristy stuff I want the stuff that time has forgot. I want to sit in the castle ruins and listen to the ghost of yesteryears speak to me.(Not scare me mind you) I want to close my eyes and believe that the yucky disease ridden times were wonderful.I believe that they were to an extent. A world of innocence if you would. When all believed in God. When knights roamed the world to slay dragons none had ever seen. I would proably be a scullery maid though. To clean and clean day in and day out. That is why I would not time travel. I'd get stuck there and have to be a scullery maid or a prostitute. Not a courtesan or even mistress to the king just a plain ol' prostitute.
OH WELL!

I am Bi-Polar
People who are not do not understand.Swinging moods.A sense of hopelessness. A overwhelming feeling of combustion. An urge to scream when there is no need but you feel it so intensely. Jittery. Sluggishness. Rage. A feeling of being incomplete and not knowing how to become complete. 
This all began during my teenage years. Most people just thought I was trouble and I became convinced as well that I was. No one understood and I mean no one. The teachers then did not know how to handle what I was. A few were sympathetic. I began to see the light when I attempted suicide and my parents found a note to a friend about why. That began my spiral with psychiatrist and counselors. My parents changed my school because they thought it was my friends. It wasn't it was me. I became involved in an abusive relationship. Found new friends who were worse than me but the school covered for us all because they had a rep to uphold.
I feel an episode coming on. I'm not medicated at present which is a mistake that I know is large. I wrote once upon a time and it helped me alot. I have had block for quite a few years now. One day I hope to recover. I try it just doesn't work.
