Rant

This is totally a post devoted to ranting about a particular subject. Today's would be people who have no social grace whatsoever!

Today is my birthday ( let's not discuss the year), and I decided to go get my haircut. Most of the time, at least for us girls, this is supposed to be a nice, relaxing experience. Having someone else pamper you for a while. Well while I am sitting in my chair, chatting with my hairdresser and getting my hair cut, a woman walks into the salon, and starts wandering around throwing out random questions about "flaky hair". First of all..... EW! Keep your flakiness to yourself, second of all since my hairdresser and myself are the only two people in the salon, there is no one else to go over and take care of this woman. So my hairdresser politely excuses herself to go and offer some guidance to the woman. She shows her some product, explains its uses and then returns to me and turns the hair dryer on ( obvious signal to the other woman that the conversation is over, and get lost) no....... not going to happen. The woman stands at the counter and continues to have a conversation ( with who I don't know because we aren't paying attention to her!) about her flaky hair and why doesn't her $2 walgreen's special shampoo work. My hairdresser is trying to be polite, all the while trying to get the woman out of the store. She isn't buying anything, she's just sighing at the counter and chatting. I really wanted to get up and say..... This  is my time.... my time to relax and have my hairdresser to myself, and you are in here for no good reason!!!! Get out and stop distracting the woman who is holding the scissors next to my head!!!!!

So I don't really have words..... I tried to flush my head down the toilet but it didn't work..... I hear Australia is nice this time of year, maybe I will move there. Anyway for those of you who don't understand what you have just voted yourselves into....

" Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. It's inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill

A Democracy???

So I just went and voted this morning. 

Observation #1:

on my long winding drive to the center I go to vote, the side of the road is "littered" with signs for John Kerry, George Ross, and other people running for office in the state of Massachusetts.... also represented in the signage.... Obama.... but did I see any McCain signs... you guessed it NO. Lets try to at least pretend we believe in the system of elections people.

Observation #2:

I enjoy confrontation so I wore my "McCain/ Palin: Country First" t-shirt, and I wore my coat open and walked proud... so the stares and backhand whispers were to be expected. And shockingly enough people, there were many. I also learned a little life lesson as I went into the gym to vote... you are  not allowed (at least in MA) to wear any apparel that displays favor of a particular party or candidate into the voting booth... hence the police officer bringing me to the side and telling me to zip my jacket...  interesting!

That's it in a nut shell. No matter who you vote for, please exercise your right as an American Citizen and VOTE!!!

So everyone single person I know has a "blog". What's the big deal I say to myself, a whole page devoted to telling anyone who wants to view it, what you think about different topics and all about your life. Then I thought about it for a while and got a different perspective. No I'm not getting married, or having a baby or living in a new place... so what do I write about that is at all interesting.... my life that's what. I figure I don't need to have some big huge event in my life to have a blog, I can just write/show about what I do. I teach, I shop, I socialize and I guess now I can add I blog! Hopefully much more to come, although I have a very short attention span =)
