Trying to follow

Let me start by saying that I am extremely excited.
In less then twenty four hours I will be sharing living space with a family of four. Dawn and Bryan and their two kids will be moving into our two bedroom apartment with us (Mindy is visiting family for a couple weeks). This is a temporary location, but it is the beginning of our community. I believe I’ve mentioned this community thing on here once or twice, but I’ll be writing and maybe podcasting a LOT more about it in the months to come.
There are a million and a half reasons why we are choosing to live together, and I’ll try to begin articulating those as time goes on. For now it’s a matter of preparing the space so that everyone feels welcome. That means a few things for me (like packing stuff up, and we’ll see what it means for all of us tomorrow. It’s such an exciting time.

I think the first couple nights are going to seem like middle school sleep-overs. We’ve already had a few of those with Bryan and Dawn (once cause of car trouble, once cause I fell asleep), but it’s going to be an exciting time. We have exactly two weeks to find a new location to live. I’m not sure where that location will be (it will be in Nashville).

We are still at a great dilemma as far as renting or buying, apartment or house, distance from work, etc. We are trying our best to keep the conversation open, but it’s also difficult as the clock counts down. If you have any wisdom to share please do.

So, a brief glance over my recent post shows I’ve been watching a little too much TV.

Sure, I’ve been watching things of my choosing on my computer at the times I want to, but I probably need to do a bit more thinking and commentary on my own.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the clips I’ve shared. Let me know if you want me to continue sharing them, or if your more interested in writing then watching.

I’ll still have more clips I’ll send your way at some point, but I’m gonna try and tone down the day to day stuff (especially the political stuff). So if your interested in what I laugh at, it’s The Daily Show, but I won’t post much more about it.

Lot’s more posts to come, I’ve got time on my hands to write, so I’m gonna try to do as much as I can.

I think I’m going to go vote today. It’s the last day of early voting before this weeks official voting day here in Nashville. I never knew early voting existed like this, and I think it’s a spectacular idea. For folks who work multiple jobs or take public transit or have children, it’s difficult to get time in a Tuesday or other weekday to go and vote. Early voting gives EVERYONE an opportunity to exercise their rigts as citizens to vote.

Now, I just have to figure out who to vote for. Really I have no idea who in this state. I haven’t done much research, there are so many names.
Quick, if your from Nashville, give me a list of folks and why before I head out to the poles!

So, I’ve heard of this lady, but I never listened to her talk or read any of her books. This evening I was bored and saw some video clips of here (while perusing the much funnier Jon Stewart).

I’m sorry by this lady is a hard one to like. She makes some HUGE generalizations. I’m really uncomfortable with her.

Here’s some clips for you to see:

What do you think of this lady?
