Thank dog for the Internet. I just realized that the people who are currently helping me the most in my life goals are people who I've never met and most likely don't even know I exist.

I wish I would have had a video camera today, or at least something to record audio. Sarah Palin spoke accross the street from my house this afternoon, so I walked over to the line during my lunch break and observed the exchanges between those people and the Obama supporters who were also there.

Quotes from people waiting in line to see Sarah Palin:

To me personally:

"Are you lost?!"


"Yeah, take pictures you piece of shit!"

To the Obama supporters and anyone else in earshot:

"How about a dope dealer in the White House?!"

"Get a job!"
Along with "Nobama", I heard this one most often, which was funny, since both sides were doing the same thing, supporting their candidate and not working. From where I was standing, the only people I could see that were working were us photographers, the police, and the police horses. These poor animals were doing more work than the people screaming " Get a job!" :(

"You look like Obama supporters."

"Are you waiting for your government check from Obama?"


"Go back to the Renaissance Fair!" This was screamed by a little girl to pro-choice women wearing formal prom-type dresses. She was really proud of herself and her hatred, and even looked to her mom for approval and praise for it. Minutes later, this girl along with her mom and several other women and girls were making fun of the pro-choice womens' pageant wave and how they were doing it wrong.

"Did you say U.S. or U.S.S.R.?"


"There's just too many Muslims in this country."


"Don't they have anything better to do?" McCain supporters talking about Obama supporters. (Pot? it's me kettle.)

"Smile for socialism!"
(while taking a picture of the Obama supporters)

"Babykillers for Obama!"

"Support the terrorists!"

"You're a terrorist lover!"

"Don't get to close to them, you might catch something!"

"Hold onto your wallets everybody!"

"Why don't you go protest in the street?"
So many people in the line laughed so loudly at this, it was scary.

I took over 500 photos, but I haven't had a chance to go through them yet. When I do, I will post some of the faces of the geniuses that said these things.

As much as I may disagree with them, I saw pro-life protesters with their mouths taped shut who made much more of a statement than the crazy screamers. I can't help but respect that they got their point accross without attacks or insults.

After the two events I've been to in the past two days, I've quickly come to the conclusion that I have been right to try and avoid all this election nonsense. People aren't saying why their candidate is so great, they're just bitching about their opponents (on both sides) and I really don't need to hear all the negativity.

  • “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.” - E.F. Schumacker
  • “As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.” - Henry David Thoreau
  • “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” - William Morris
  • “I believe that such smaller houses - where comfort, practicality and beauty co-exist in harmony - represent an idea whose time has truly come. They’re better for the environment and they enhance the quality of life - both in our communities and for those who live in them. I am glad to help make this option available to everyone.” - John Gower, owner and principal designer of BC Mountain Homes
  • “I think that when you invite people to your home, you invite them to yourself.” - Oprah Winfrey, 20th Anniversary DVD
  • “Live simply that others might simply live.” - Elizabeth Seaton
  • “Out of intense complexities, intense simplicities emerge.” - Winston Churchill
  • “Reduce the complexity of life by eliminating the needless wants of life, and the labors of life reduce themselves.” - Edwin Way Teale
  • “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” - Leonardo DaVinci
  • “Small rooms or dwellings discipline the mind, large ones weaken it.” - Leonardo Da Vinci
  • “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.” - Hans Hofmann, Introduction to the Bootstrap, 1993
  • “We don’t need to increase our goods nearly as much as we need to scale down our wants. Not wanting something is as good as possessing it.” - Donald Horban
  • “You can never get enough of what you don’t need to make you happy.” - Eric Hoffer
  • “You know you have reached perfection of design not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I just tried skating in the daylight for the first time, but I ended up getting way too hot after just two laps. I just checked the temperature and it's 98 degrees out, so no wonder I couldn't take it.

copypasta from wikipedia:

"Much of the media attention "You Get What You Give" received centered on the closing lyrics:

    Health insurance, rip-off lying
    FDA, Big bankers buying
    Fake computer crashes dining
    Cloning while they're multiplying
    Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson,
    Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
    You're all fakes, run to your mansions
    Come around, we'll kick your ass in.


According to Alexander, he had written this section for the song as a test; to see whether the media would focus on the important political issues of the first few lines, or the petty celebrity-dissing. As he suspected, the music press raked considerable muck about the name-dropping and the rest of the song was glossed over entirely."

Tokio Hotel posted video from their visit to Las Vegas. I barely even know who they are, but I think it's interesting to hear their thoughts on Las Vegas. It also makes me realize how out of touch I feel with Vegas tourists. At my old job I would talk to hundreds of people a day so I got to hear a lot about what people thought of Vegas. These days I might talk to someone in a night I'm down on the Strip but I don't talk to enough tourists to get any real sense of what others like and dislike about Vegas, what is on their "must see" list, common misconceptions, etc.
