ManDingo For the WIN!

(And if you don't like the title well all I have to say is you are on my Journal and it is morning so what do you expect XD)

To the rest of those right winged people better luck with a McBush in four years *sob* lol


So I find it funny that Utah pretends to be red but if you cut them they bleed blue (in other words they voted McCain *red* but they voted mostly Democratic *blue* for the local state politics).

Anyway in other news our local props 1 and 2 passed so that will really help the Zoo and the aviary. As far as California's news prop 8 passed as well.

I'm rather happy and or not surprised with the out come of most of the election results. Both local and nationally.

*NOM NOM NOM*

Oh man after checking the lines at the polls me and John hit up a new little Czech cafe on 9th South called "Johnny Kolache's".

Oh man and do they have good Kolaches! I like the ham and cheese one, very nummy! To bad they did not have any pastry ones for sale yet (we hit them up a little after 7am).

It was already pouring when we got down there. So the storm is well on its way and it is still raining right now.

New beats for the day

Everything Is Borrowed - The Streets




That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings




1,2,3,4 - Plain White T's

Do your part - VOTE!

So just reiterating that we all need to come out and vote! Even more so if you are young. Lets hear your voice this election!


Anyway I thought that I would toss up my favorite US propaganda piece since we have been bombarded for so many months leading up to today for the elections.

First off the most iconic and recognizable one:

This image was in all reality a miss labeling of the character of Rosie. It was one of the many images that was around during the labor crises during WWII to entice women to help during the labor shortage from the lack of factory workers during the war.

And now the Original piece that was first called "Rosie the Riveter":

I love how she has her feet crushing a copy of Mein Kampf! And her look is great! I just love this version of Rosie!

And a Time Magazine cover that is a modern take on this image to run along with their article about teens volunteering:


Anyway like these images are try to say in their timelessness get out there and do your part today!

T-minus 1 day

So do you know where your polling place is?

I've heard that lines are going to be upwards of 3 hours long in waits..... >.> gee fun. I think I'll go before it opens and see how long the lines are and hope for the best.

So I think I'll only be voting for two GOPs this go around. Which ones I'll just let you puzzle over that.

Anyway I'm interested to see what way the state swings this time. I bet they will die if it goes blue. I mean what is the last time if there ever was a time that the state was a blue state?

Oh well. In any case get off your butt into the falling snow (coming just for you to make your voting day oh so much better ya know) and cast your vote. Cause you know someone has to negate my vote ya know... right? lol

Are we human or are we dancer?

Just thought that I would throw up this youtube video to this great little song from my last post!

Human - The Killers
You know you want to click me ^_^
By the way the video was shot in Utah. Kinda interesting.

Been hearing it on x96 and just love the chorus (a dancer is a puppet... are you a puppet? Taken from the disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising a generation of dancers.)

Lyrics:
I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart

Cut the cord
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well

You got to let me go
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answers
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating?

Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer

You got to let me know
Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we Human
Or are we Dancer?

Are we Human?
Or are we Dancer?

Are we Human
Or are we Dancer?

Another book for the list (and a another show to miss...)

So I just saw another ad for what looks like a neat show that alas I will not be able to see right now. It is on Sci-fi channel and I lack the illegal hooks-ups for cable lol.

Anyway the Show is called "Legend of the Seeker" and from the fallowing two youtube vids I think that if you like fantasy (LotRs, HP, Golden Compass etc.) then you might just like this as well.

Trailer:


And 10 min. show preview: Well worth the 10 mins in my POV...


Wow now that I'm hyped and depressed that I can't watch the two hour season premier tomorrow I should let you know that they have the first 30 mins to download off iTunes free lol!


But I guess that I can take salice in the fact that this awesome looking show is based off of books in the "The Sword of Truth" series by Terry Goodkind (11 books in the series ^_^).

*sigh* reminds me that I need to add the cable series of "EarthSea" to netflix (also based on a book XD). From the trailer on Netflix it looks kinda like HP set in the time of Arthur.


Anyone want to get me something for my b-day or Christmas has a few ideas now what I want lol. My free time reading list just keeps on growing and growing ^_^
