your pointless life will end, but before you go......

I went.... I saw...... I dove...... St. Lucia came off without a hitch and it's a really lovely place......
being in the sun, sand and saltwater is something I find a necessity - it recharges me...... I crave it a few times a year..... and this is from someone who shunned the beach for many many years......
I did 2 dives...... no problem :)
One was a wreck - really cool - and it was shallow at 70 ft - great intro to wrecks since they can look kinda freaky and daunting.

but I've been back a week and it all seems like a dream already......
and i can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the whole thing.... it went by so fast I feel like we never left......
at least I've got a tan to show for it....... oh well.....

I'm in the midst of having my place painted........ we finally decided to just hire someone to do it because Mr. Lost - while able and willing - just doesn't have the time or commitment to do it. It would've taken us weeks to complete..... if you hire someone, 2 days of messiness (and my god, is there a lot of mess, I was totally unprepared for the amount of dust and dropcloths and footprints) and then it's be done.
They've only done 2 of the 4 rooms - and already, I feel like we've got a whole new condo now - it's amazing what a coat of paint can do.
But then again, I'm not very good at picking paint colors..... I had aimed for two similar colors for our bedroom and bathroom...... the two colors were a taup-y brown and a browny-taupe type deals..... I now have a bedroom and bathroom that look exactly the same..... so much for subtle differences.
If you sort of stand half in the bathroom and half in the bedroom and swing back and forth between the rooms, they ARE a bit different.....
ah well.....

none of that is very interesting.... but it's all I've got.....

I'm happy that Obama got the nomination.... I'm very pro-Obama..... but then again, i base my like and dislike of candidates based on gut feeling..... and my gut gives Obama a 'yay.'
(there's a campaign slogan for ya...)
I wanted to like Clinton, I did..... but something just didn't sit right. my gut gave Clinton a 'nay.'
But then again, I do that to most people I come in contact with - I need about half an hour or less even, to get a gut feeling about someone and I'm 99% right on.... I've met people whom everyone in my social circle raved about and I thought - nope - and sure enough, the same people who were raving were complaining a few months later..... and vice versa.....
so there's my scientific character study methods.... revealed.....
well anyway, mr. lost shook Obama's hand one time, when he was running for senator (a few weeks ago ;) it seems) so he's like our friend or something......
that's right......

i am pro-Obama too
but am almost certain some scumbag on the right will murder him if he does anything he has talked about that is
i mean after all, it is what they do best
rig elections, have people assasinated & make up excuses for war
so what chance does Obama have for survival unless he 'plays ball with them'?
so yeah, who will his vp be, its gotta be somebody that the right hates more than him
maybe hillary?
;-D
haha, she could have him killed too...
:-O

hi there, I loved hearing about your trip. nothing recharges the soul more than a good lie down on a tropical beach. the Caribbean water is curative and you can feel your blood pressure go down when you are there, don't you think? I find blue water to be so relaxing. I'm glad you had a nice vacation. Thanks for confirming for me that this wonderful part of the world still exists.

I totally agree with you about Obama. I'm supporting him all the way. It would help mend some of the damage that Bush has done to our relationships with other nations. To have a family "of color" residing in the WHITE House would be a sign that maybe this country has learned something from its past---it's horrid, fucked-up past! Look at how US foreign policy has been conducted for the last half century, by the long line of Rumsfelds, Cheneys and Bushes we've had to endure. Talk about ringleaders of the tormentors. That's what so many US president have been. So ready to send young people off to their deaths. Having Obama as our leader would send a message that our country is waking up and realizing that the world is far more complex than dimwits like Bush have been telling us. Obama's will not be just another administration of "business as usual." The US has had so many horrible foreign policy blunders. Look at Iraq. Look back historically at some of the things the US has done in Central America (i.e. Guatemala's anti-democratic coup of 1954; military backing of Nicaraguan dictators, most notablely Somoza who US policy wankers summarized by saying "yes, Somoza is a son of a bitch, but he's OUR son of a bitch"

Obama's story is an American story. It's one to be proud of. And I will be happily voting for him in November. I feel he represents a new direction for this country. Let us not forget that American history is still being written. Let Obama start this new chapter.

hey, it's only my opinion. xxxooo dodgey
