    At the job. Surprise, surprise. It is 6 pm and I have been here since 8. And I will be here until 9:30. Pure insanity. But that's what you do when unemployment is just around the corner. And finding a job is like Alabama avoiding tornadoes this season. It's impossible. I didn't get that job I interviewed for. It's old news and I've gotten over it. I keep trying to reassure myself that they already had someone else in mind but then I start feeling insecure about myself again. But then I get to thinking about how I want to do so many other things (that exclude Montevallo) and I sigh with mucho relief. I'm not meant to stay here. I feel like I've done my time and now I gotta move on. There aren't that many jobs here anyway and not having a car doesn't help. But anyway onto other news....

    I've been thinking a lot about politics lately. It's all up in your face... it's kind of hard not to. But I cannot stress enough how badly I want Clinton to win. Did you know that it's common among Hispanics to vote for someone b/c they had a family member and/or experience in that position before? It's about knowing what you're doing, folks. Clinton's not perfect but I really, truly believe she will revive the nation's good reputation again and better than any of the other candidates ever could. I decided I'm going to list the reasons why I think everyone should seriously consider Hillary for president:

5) She has a better chance at winning against McCain than Obama does, and do I want to risk having another Republican for president? Hellooo? Did you see what that last one did? And I don't want to hear about how McCain is different from Bush... that's like saying rabbits and hares are different. One has bigger ears and the other greater longevity. But when it comes down to it, they're both still hairy twits (who unfortunately love to procreate).

4) Experience, experience, experience. It's almost cliché now. But it is true. The bitch (see #2) knows what she's doing. Nothing gets you better prepared than experience.

3) WARNING-- PC just jumped out the window!  African Americans got the right to vote through the 15th amendment long before women did (and yes, white men did make it hard for African Americans to vote by placing shitty rules and regulations but the same thing happened to women when they were finally allowed to vote [19th amendment])...this means black men were granted the right to vote fifty years before women were. If history has anything to say it's that Obama is more likely to get the presidency than Clinton. Why, oh why can't women do something first for once?? I assure you, we're capable of getting the job done just as well.

2) As a bundle here are political issues because I don't believe in single issue voting. I think her stance on them is great. She believes women have a say as to what happens to their bodies (being a woman this should be a given but you'd be surprised). She believes in stricter gun laws... people, seriously. Less guns= Less killing. Universal health care. Will someone tell me the down side? Oh, you have to fork over a few extra bucks to get a nose job? Big deal. Oh, you're gonna get the same care as a bum? At least you HAVE gauranteed health care and someone less fortunate than you does too. Is that bad???  (this list of issues can go on and onbut hopefully by now everyone knows where the candidates stand on issues)

1) Tina Fey says it all. My sentiments exactly, Ms. Fey.

Bitches get stuff done. End.
