I can’t believe that summer is over. It seems like time just keeps moving… At least it wasn’t too hot too much of the summer. I am excited for fall. I get to bring out the sweaters again. Fall makes me miss school. You would think after graduating 6 years ago I would be over it. But I get so excited for back to school sales. I had to stay out of the stores this year. I don’t need anything. I have pens and paper. I barely use them. I type everything. Which reminds me. I finally have my blackberry back. It broke 4 weeks ago today. I got it back on Thursday. I went through serious with draw. I couldn’t wait to get it back. You never realize how addicted you are until it is suddenly taken away.
Yesterday I went to see Extract and Inglorious Bastards. Both were good. I recommend them. However they were two very different movies. Extract is a movie with a lot of character development. It is funny in places. I really liked it. Then we went to see Inglorious Bastards. It was crazy! You have to go see it. I can’t tell you any more than that. I got yelled at for saying something to someone. My friend thought it would give away the suspense of the movie. So I am not saying anything about it. It was awesome and you should see it.
I watched I love you man this weekend. I liked it. It was hilarious. I also watched First Blood. Which is the first Rambo movie. I haven’t seen the other Rambo movies yet. But that was a great first start.
Lately at work I have been listening to Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. Those two biographies were amazing. I am going to be listening to 1776 next week. I can not believe how much they accomplished. Oh yes I almost forgot I watched 1776 the musical last night. Very good. Now that I have finished listening to John Adams the book I am going to start watching the mini series again. I only watched the first two before. The book was so detailed. You should watch it. Or listen to it if you get the chance. I enjoyed it. It is so interesting to see how our country began. I wish we had a John Adams in the congress right now.
He was like a broken record. Just pushing pushing pushing. We need independence. Right now we need health care. The debate is going crazy. It will be interesting to see what Obama does on Wednesday. But a public option is needed. I need it. I have no health care. I can’t get sick. That is like telling me I can’t go to the bathroom. I am bound to get sick. In fact I have had a bit of a sore throat for over a week. It is pretty much gone now. Comes back just a little bit in the morning. What is strange about it is there was no nasal drainage, no coughing, no sneezing, and no nothing really. Well at the beginning there was a fever… that didn’t make any sense at all. But the fever went away. And the sore throat has now too for the most part. Anyway back to health care. I am not the only person I know with out health care. I know a lot of people with no health care. And I know people whose health care doesn’t work for them. I mean seriously. If I got really sick right now. Or had to buy pills… I wouldn’t be able to do it. I have managed to buy over the counter allergy and stomach pills right now… I should probably go to a dr and get checked and make sure the over the counter stuff is controlling everything as it should be… but no health care means no dr. I am just like millions of other people. If I do get really sick I will go to the er… and then I won’t pay the bill. Why? Because I work a temp job and make 10 bucks an hour. Yes that is where my college educated self is working. The economy is failing me. The health care system is failing me. And if I liked the cold I hear Canada is nice. But I like Adams Love America. And I have no desire to leave. I just need America to prosper. So I can prosper. I need to achieve my American Dream.

Watch the video. It will help you understand what I think we should do next with the health care reform. We need to make it have everything. We won’t be able to get back to it anytime soon. We haven’t been able to address it since Clinton’s first term. If we don’t do it now…. It could be 16 more years… or 40 years…

These two videos kind of sum it up. I am tired of insurance companies deciding who lives and who dies. You are worried about death panels…. You should be worried about getting cancer and having your insurance company denying you the treatment that could save your life.
Ok enough of my soap box. I am going to go enjoy the rest of the Labor Day weekend. I hope you do as well. I am going to attempt to update this more often. So check back soon.
Stella, I love to read your movie reviews. We just signed up for Netflix so I can always use suggestions. Although, we have the Office season 5 on there right now (I think it is 5 or 6 disks) so that ought to take us a good couple of months!!
