Get on, get on, get on, get on the Groovy Train!

So, you must be wondering where the hell have I been and what took me so long to blog again, right? Or maybe you weren't wondering that at all. Were you? Wondering that? You probably just went about with your lives, entertaining yourself, doing things, going on your 'ventures, drinking your Chablis, sucking your lover’s toes, spooning, taking baths in Epson salts. You didn't think of me at all while I was gone. Did you? Not one of you called to see how I was doing or stopped by the house and checked on me. Bastards. All of you. I could've been stuck in a ditch, or had a really bad case of lactose intoler-de-laurentis. What is that, you ask? Lactose intoler-de-laurentis is something you get for watching too much Giada on the food network. Actually I could never watch too much Giada; however, I can handle only so much Rachel Ray. Oh my God, will that woman never stop yapping. Yap, yap, yap. Shut up already and make a damn pie or something. Bake a cake, make a chicken, carve a roast, cook an egg, slice a carrot, mash some beets, but shut the hell up. Now Giada, there is a women with class.

And speaking of class, my man Barack won last night! Oh yeah!!! Is it just me or does Michelle Obama have a nice badonkadonk? I’m just sayin. I have one question for our lovely First Lady: "What you gon' do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk?" The next four years are gonna be F-I-N-E. You know what I’m talking about. It’s about time we had a First Lady with a nice backside. That’s the real reason I voted Obama.

I kid the President Elect and his First Lady. I wish them only good will. I got very little sleep last night and yet today I felt incredibly refreshed and optimistic. I cannot help but feel Obama’s win is a great thing for America because now, it is my hope, that the rest of the world will view us through a different lens. It is my hope that our standing with the world will improve. For a while now I have felt like America was on the decline, and yet now I am beginning to see the first signs that we can transform ourselves. We can begin again. We can live up to our true potential where we are the country that leads by example and not by force. Compared to the other countries of the world Americans are an incredibly optimistic and hopeful people, sometimes to the point of annoyance. This occasional blind optimism is maybe due to our age. We are a very young country. I can’t remember the last time I felt hope and optimism about America. But last night I did and today too. I have been very moved by this election. I’ve grown so tired of being told by my Government to be afraid and that I need to be fearful. Last night I finally started to feel the fear melt away. And it feels good. I am lucky and proud to have been part of and contributed to this historic election. We are living through history and it is exciting!!!

Now see, why you gotta go messin' with the queen of EVOO?? Gotta love RR, haha.

I would have knocked on your door, but um... I'm afraid of that 14 year old and that creepy dude that live inside you!

I agree with everything except Giada. Her resemblance to a bobblehead bothers me.
And yes, Michelle is one fine lady. I recently said that to my students, and they looked at me like I was insane or drunk. Or both. It's just that after eight years of Laura Bush in weird fugly ruffled things, I'm excited to see someone with class and sense of style. Oh, and good politics, too.

Jewelry Rockstar said...

No I wasn't really thinking of you while you were gone, but I am thinking of you now. I love Giada too, Glad about Obama. Stop talking about his wife's body parts or else you may have to deal with him. She is the first lady you know... Stay up!

Well I'm glad your back, although your absence did give me a chance to take in your archives! Fun stuff you have here...and that Rachael Ray is quite the irksome broad, isn't she?!

Jozette said...

Oh hai, you're back!! I would have stopped by to check on you, but I it best I didn't, restraining order and all....

I'm into your reasoning for voting Obama because of Michelle's junky trunk. Whatever it takes to get that man in office...

Glad you're back!

Jozette said...
