I met up with my friend this morning for two classes: yoga and body pump. Today was the first time I've ever done yoga in my life, and it was pretty much exactly like I expected: much too calm for my taste. I will give it another chance because I do need to stretch more, but it doesn't seem like something I'd enjoy doing any more than once or twice a week.

This was my second time doing the body pump class and now I remember why I enjoyed it so much the first time. It's a full body workout using a barbell so I end up working a lot of muscles that I neglect normally by just using the machines, like my back and shoulders. I'm looking forward to going to this class more often and building up strength, especially in my upper body which feels pretty weak right now.

Yesterday was the first time I tried riding my bike to the gym which is about 4 miles away. It was so much fun, I'm almost mad at myself for not thinking to do it sooner. There is even a bike trail for most of way so I don't have to worry too much about cars, which is very nice. The ride home was especially gorgeous since I ended up leaving the gym just in time to watch the sunset and ride home during twilight.

Danger!

On Sunday my roommates got a puppy! Her name is Danger and she's part chihuahua and part German Shepherd. I've missed having a pet ever since I moved to Vegas, so even though she's not mine it will be nice to have her around. So far I've been pleasantly surprised by how mellow she is. I haven't even heard her bark yet and she likes being held. I love her!

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.

some quotes about simpler and smaller living

  • “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.
