I'm cooking a turkey for the first time by myself.
SEE ALSO: ahem

I'll post a picture when I'm done, so that Chef Ramsey can make fun of me.

heheee

I kind of took all the ideas my family gave me, a bunch of different recipes and a few shortcuts. My turkey is still rather frozen (um, thanks Butterball)

my dad was like "STUFF IT WITH APPLES". My mom was like "NO APPLES, JUST SOME CRISCO, PEPPER and SAGE". Real Simple recipe says "add chicken broth to bottom of pan halfway through". Alpha says: ALL OF THE ABOVE!
plus, the pepper came out too fast, so the top of it was BLACK...

CAJUN TURKEY DAY hehee

My man is going to laugh very hard, I'm sure.

who fucking cares what you think?

who?

ALPHA, huh?

Oh, and if you want to know WHY folks are different, because they are different, and because they are different
then just see this:

Let’s compare, shall we… I know, totally off topic but…
here’s me and my mom and the grandmother from the black side.
and a-ha
my high school senior picture
my mom's high school senior picture
my grandmother (not sure how old, looks like pre-teen??)
and a-ha

no relation
just nostalgia.


ain't that a bitch.

Bryna says
"So, what changed so drastically between the 2nd and the 4th?"

ATG says: nothing. I really could have adapted to whomever was chosen. of course some fresh blood is always good, but really all politicians are the same, promising you the world then delivering sub par.

plus - Americans complain a lot. doesn't matter if the elected were a saint, some will love, some will hate.

plus - things are crappy (so they say), economy in the toilet and everything... but comparatively speaking to other places, we have NOTHING to complain about!

plus - i think there was some shady activity going on to make Obama president. Case in point: McCain, who is this decorated war hero, been in the Senate for YEARS has tons of contacts... and the ONLY person he can find as his running mate is some chick he doesn't even know from some podunk state nobody cares about. Something is VERY weird about that. VERY VERY weird!

has anyone noticed but me???

I've been watching the news for the last 2 days... and it's like all of the sudden they found EVERY AND ANY black person they could to be on tv...

seriously

every news station now has this upsurge in black reporters
every person they interview is black
is it just Los Angeles?

black people on the streets
black people in barber shops
black people in coffee shops
black people celebrating
black people EVERYWHERE

It's a MAJOR difference than just 3 days ago...

is it me??

I have to admit...I got a little emotional.
didn't think I would.
guess I didn't think i'd see the day!
that Americans would stand up.

I actually feel like my vote counted this election.
for the first time.
ever.

Never thought I'd tear up over a president.
because the last 29 years
I thought
and felt
nothing.

but in the end....it's JFK like status.
not complacency.
but
it's not that he's mixed, or black, or different, or white or anything
just that

we need something new.
and now we got our wildcard.

and that's all I really
needed.

oh. p.s.
i'm excited of the prospect of having a MIXED person in office!!!
putting us mixed-folks on the map!!!
(although they only say he's black... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr he's MIXED!!!!)

I’d like to show a little love for the OTHER folks on the ballot.
you know, since we are a democracy (although communism is more aligned to our current two-party-no-differentiation-between-the-two-party-system)

Um, so in case you don’t want Obama or McCain… your choices are… drumroll please….

Cynthia McKinney President, Rosa Clemente Vice President (Green Party)

Alan Keys President, Wiley S Drake Sr. Vice President (American Independent)

Ralph Nader President, Matt Gonzalez Vice President (Peace and Freedom)


Bob Barr President, Wayne Root Vice President (Libertarian)

or, ya’ll can just choose me as your write-in candidate

heheee

I haven’t really talked about this upcoming election. That’s because, for the first time in my life…I really don’t give a fuck who wins.

My level of complacency is fueled even more as the media keeps telling me “this is the most important decision in my life”. I couldn’t disagree more. This falls pretty much in between picking out socks or whether to bring an umbrella at a 20% chance of rain in my book. I’m not sure who I might vote for… and furthermore I don’t think my vote will count for a hill of beans. I’ve studied the candidates. I’ve watched the pros, the cons, the pointing fingers, the EVERYTHINGYOUNEEDGUIDETOSEEWHYWEFAILASHUMANS
and i feel nothing. Not swayed one way or another.
Adjust.
I feel like I can adjust.
to anything.
to Obama
to McCain
even to Bush
AND FURTHERMORE
I think these fucking wackjobs with there McCainPalin or ObamaBiden bumper stickers and signs should get a fucking life.
Something fishy is going to happen this election… and I’m not just talking about Al Gore actually winning with a switcher-roo surprise ending in a Bush.
Something that changes the face of America forever, and the system of voting that we currently use, and our race relations (FORTUNETELLERALPHAFORSEESCIVILWAR). I’m not talking about any doomsday scenario… just a test of fate.

And I’m okay with that. because it’s history and future and present
all rolled into

complacency.
