I don't want to go off on a rant here but...

Today was the first day of classes, so far so good, and tomorrow I don't have class till 250 so I am going to get some much needed work done on my articles. I already have three articles to do this week, one due on thursday so I gotta work on that. I know its only one day in but so far things are looking a bit brighter, I have been hanging out with Ruby alot at her apartment, or at least two days so far I have been hanging there but its alot of fun lol. I want that apartment so bad, its on easton ave. and its so damn awesome.

A follow up to my last posting, which some people said I probably should've taken down but I think I have let the feelings in that post go and probably for the best and I will leave it at that.

So today was Barack Obama's inauguration and I missed it. I know most people would be shocked that I didn't watch it but something inside me just didn't have my heart in it to watch the first black president get inaugurated. It wasn't like I didn't care because today was an incredibly important day in history but my world wasn't going to stop or change because Obama is our President. I think in that lies the downfall of our society, that these huge expectations are really what shape us as people. Only we really can shape ourselves. Look I'm not by any means conservative nor am I liberal, hence being independent, but Barack Obama is not going to shape the lives of the 300 million legal citizens in this country and the fact is people have to stop expecting others to do there work for them and help them continue on in life. I am not knocking our newest President, I hope he does a great job and proves everyone wrong on what might happen while he is in office but people gotta start taking control of their own destiny not leaving up to others and their government to dig them out of holes or wedge them out of tight spots. But what do I know, I'm still in college.

Off to bed, PS. a good mix of music for some odd reason- Girl Talks- Feed the Animals album and Black Sabbath- Supernaut, ballin!
