Obama!

I'm really going to miss Barack Obama. He has been such a great President, and his speech at the DNC was amazing, and I would have expected nothing less. The DNC has been so refreshing after all the negativism and name-calling of the RNC. I know it's a strategy--probably the only one they have--but the Republicans spent their entire Convention bad-mouthing Clinton. The Democrats have been talking about policy and ideas and optimism. That's what it should be! Sure, Obama mentioned Trump several times, but the point of the speech was so much more.

Back to the Old House

I went back to the old bar that I haven't been to in forever tonight. I was hoping to see my old friend, but he was not there. Still, it was fun to hang out and see lots of people that I don't see very often anymore. But I miss my friend!

Melania Trump

OMG, I just watched Melania's speech from the Convention, and then watched Michelle Obama's speech that she plagiarized from. Unbelievable. How did her speech writers think that no one would notice that, and it just goes to show how...I don't know, I'm speechless.

Convention

The Republican National Convention is so frustrating to watch. I don't know if I'm too dumb to argue against all the bullshit that they're saying, or if they're just laying it on so thick that I wouldn't even know where to begin. Maybe it would be like arguing with a squirrel: kind of pointless because we would be on such different wavelengths. How can you argue with just wrong information, and emotional pleas? ugh.

History

Wow, what a crazy year in politics. Brexit vote: leave. Shocking! Seriously! I am so surprised; this truly is a big moment in history. What on earth will the rest of this year bring? Scary stuff.

Today

I'm trekking out to Schaumburg if my friend ever wakes up so that he can pick up his check. Then tonight, playing pool on new team tonight for second time. Hopefully, I keep up the winning streak. I'm not holding my breath though.

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

I've been sleeping like crazy lately. Get this: I went to bed at 10 last night, and aside from being up for an hour or so a couple of times, I woke up at like 6:15 tonight. Wtf?? So, now here I sit at 8:30 p.m. having my morning coffee. ugh.
