Today, Barb is feeling: GRRRRRREAT!

so i lied. i am tired too.

so this is my blog. so i can do whatever i want with it.
so today i am going political.

as i am sitting here at the Info Desk, all i see is the College Republicans table for Pro Life.
Now, I will admit that i am generally pro-choice. a womens body should be her's to do with what she chooses. but i wlil say this, for those women who use abortions as a form of birth control. that i don't agree with. so when it comes to this issue, i will admit that i am a fence sitter.

the other thing that i see sitting at the info desk is a sign, made by my great pal Kendra. it says,
Prevent Unwanted Presidencies, Practise safe Voting. i LOVE it! it was made by the Advocates for Choice that are a new group on campus that Kendra started. it is a great group, but sadly i can't make it to the meetings this semester, so maybe next semester if i can manage the time aspects of it.

ok, next political time is here
i am lucky enough to have a great dad who prints tshirts. and he does buttons, remember these, you will be tested on them later.
but so we (being me and Phil) wanted Stop Bush shirts. black shirts with white ink. they are great. there are so many people who want them! i sold one to Deb the reservation lady, and she loves it and i sold a bunch more to all sorts of different people. and so we are getting them. but on Wednesday night we have this tv show called, RF Live and Phil and the band he is in, Soundtrack to a Shipwreck

www.soundtrack-to-a-shipwreck.com

were going to be playing at the show and he wanted a shirt to have so he could wear it on the show. i got there just as they were playing their first song but after they were done, i threw the shirt to phil so he could wear it. and then on the next song that they started with, all they had at the beginning was a close up of the Stop Bush with the beginning guitar riffs in the background! it was beautiful!!!!!! i almost wanted to cry. but the next song is my favorite so i was to busy singing along to be emotional.

and then! the College Republicans showed up! it was like perfect. me, amanda, jane and a few others who were there for the boys, saw them and we are just started laughing! it was funny, because they all come in together, most of them sporting the CR shirts, and with the Bush/Chenney signs. and then Jake, who i dont like and is the new UW College Republican chair, gets on and starts talking about what the CR's do and everything.

did you know that our current president can run 3 miles in only 23 minutes?

that is one thing that jake said. it is funny because now everytime Jane or i see each other we always ask each other if we know how fast our president can run 3 miles.
its just one of those funny things
