hello again! happy vacation time will be over soon, which is why i am unexplainably up before noon. we have to flip our schedules around cause we open when we go back, so we have been sleeping till about 8 pm and going to bed at around 11 am. weird times. the positive to this is that we get the free skate park ALL to ourselves! because what kid wakes up before 10 in the morning in the summer? so yeah. we've been skating from sunrise to about 9, 9:30. it's marvelousness. even though i really can't do anything cool yet, so most of the skatepark doesn't really do me much good. i'm just happy to have nice smooth concrete and ramps to hide behind when the sun starts baking me. i feel sorry for james, though. i can't do anything really, so he probably doesn't have as much fun as he would if i was closer to his level. i'd really like to find a friend to skate with closer to my level, too. that way james won't get bored to tears watching my tiny ollies and telling me exactly how high they were.
in other news...kerry is supposed to announce his running mate today. i think that since kerry and bush honestly aren't that different, than this decision could matter a great deal at election time. i know one of the potentials everyone is throwing around is hilary clinton..but i don't see kerry as that big of a risk taker. there are too many sexist moderates and conservatives out there for anyone to dare running with a woman. which is complete crap. my choice would be her, or maybe john mccain. sure, he's a republican, but he's actually probably better matched to me than kerry is. and i think kerry would most definitely win if he ran with him, because the moderates would eat it up.
and a sad little note...i found out the other day that one of my friends is a closet conservative. it's really sad..i never would have expected it. i can get along with people from different political factions just fine, it is just kind of a shock. i almost cried when she began talking about this crap war being neccessary..
is there some kind of support group for this?
