Too Long

I have been away for too long. It has also been too long since I have had a chance to sit in quiet and play on my computer. Not that I have a lot of time now. I was clocked in at work for 12 hours yesterday, at work closer to 12.5 hours. Today I am most likely going to have to do the same. That means in 1.5 (about 1:30pm) hours I have to go home, get ready for work, and I will be at work till around 3:00 AM... so very sad.

I do like my job. Once I am at work I do not mind being there at all. In fact I have noticed I have so much to do there that most of the time the time flies by. For example, we were so busy and I was trying to get so many things done, when I looked up at the clock after 8:50pm it was almost 1AM. Time just went so very fast last night.

It also has been WAY too long since Harry Potter was out of the news! Come on people. I guess a fan based website holder has decided to publish a book with fan based information, writings, and some of the spells found in the book exc. She is suing them for copyright stuff. All I can think of is the Star Wars Universe. Now I don’t know how that started; however, I feel that the continuation of the Star Wars fantasy is partially based on the fact that fans can get involved and write books about it, compile information, and be a part of the action. I remember reading or talking to someone about how JK Rowling is just in it for the money (of course most of us do what we do for a living for the money), I think they were right. She has a VERY popular series of books and if she plays her hand right she can use the fans to build the Potter world, make it more timeless than it already is, and also do more to line her pockets with money. Far be it for me to tell the woman how to live her life; however, I truly feel we get more in life if we all work together and not against each other. The fan book was written out of devotion, not malice. She wants to keep all Harry Potter writings (especially the ones that make money) to herself…

Ok, enough on that. Has anyone been listing to the debates, do you have a favorite candidate? At this point I am not sure who is really still in the race. I did an online quiz thing and it said I should vote for Huckabee… though that was not even a close fit. It was only like 30% or something. But when the choices are limited, you have to make tough choices. Though I know there are those who feel they just cannot vote because the candidates are such bad fits for the personal ideology.

Speaking of politics, Seth and I were talking about pro-life issues and he made the statement that the Clintons are personally pro–life. He says they just keep personal beliefs and politics separate. My response was what good is it to have personal beliefs that do not carry over into your professional life. I feel there should be some carry over. For example, a person who honestly believes in no sex till marriage is not very likely to become a prostitute. A person who honestly feels that murder is wrong and that abortion is wrong just does not seem to be the person who joins forces with “Planned Parenthood” for their money making abilities.

More on Planned Parenthood later….
