Yay America!

Did anyone notice the crowd Palin resigned in front of?
Oh come on David, there were atleast 7 to the left of these people, 2 of which were under the age of 15.
Oh, Facebook. Just when I thought we were done with this shit.
These are the Away Messages. My favorite? It’s a tie between Kenny Rogers and Oreo Cookies.
Funny thing is that I can tell what time periods of my life these came from. The first few are obviously when I was living in Jersey.
I used to get creative with my iChat Away Available Messages.
I also just noticed that this panel is somewhat transparent. Good thing I just had tumblr up on that screen, huh?
Just where that storm may be heading is one of the most intriguing issues in American politics today. Palin is at once the sexiest and the riskiest brand in the Republican Party. Her appeal to people in the party (and in the country) who share her convictions and resentments is profound. The fascination is viral, and global.

I’m with Marco. Expect a criminal investigation/scandal soon. Cajunboy is already on it. The above article goes into a few details (most we’ve already heard) about how batshit crazy she was before, during, and after the campaign.
reflect:
I snagged this from the photos a friend of mine has up on facebook. She’s from Pea Ridge, but her and her husband went to Ouachita. They still feel the Arkansas love though.
I wish Barrett and Aaron and Katie would each buy one of these shirts and wear them when they’re together at U of A later this month…
And, please take a photo or two.
Yes. I’m currently searching the internet to find this.

Becoming Minimalist
I had a thought last night that I wanted to wake up this morning and get rid of 75% of the ‘stuff’ that I own. Every since I was little I’ve always had ‘stuff’. (Blame it on my mom?) I have storage boxes of things I never look at, shoes I’ve never worn, blankets I never use. I have like 10 dinner plates. When in the hell am I going to have 10 people over for dinner?
How do you start to get rid of these things? Part of me wants to start putting things in trash bags without thinking about the consequences, but I’m the “What if I need this at some point?” kind of person. And a lot of my stuff has memories attached to it that I don’t want to just throw away.
Please let me know if have any insight to getting to this magical place called ‘minimalism’. I might be approaching it like ripping off a band-aid, but I think that is the only way it might work for me.
Disclaimer: There are certain items, mainly furniture, that I am under contract with my mother to never throw away. Mom, do not worry, I won’t do anything stupid. Also, I haven’t even put on pants today so I’m not too concerned about any of this, really.
