The Birthday Blog

Well here it is, my 39th birthday.  Already, many readers have turned off.  Who is this old chick doing a blog?  Pretty soon, there will be knitting patterns and recipes.  I can safely assure you that knitting patterns, tips or other related matters will likely never appear on this blog.  Recipes, perhaps, but usually I am too lazy to type them out.

Watched the news before I went to bed.  Bad idea.  Ismaili woman was killed in a "home invasion".  She had just married this past weekend to a Punjabi man.  His family opposed the union.  The media and I infer the same conclusion.  At least, I recognize that my perspective is racially constructed.  They just continue in their maintenance of the status quo.

Six Canadian soldiers died in a roadside bomb day before yesterday.  More senseless death due to a senseless war.  Is anyone still looking for Osama Bin Laden?  I am pretty sure given my three-year-old increasing proficiency at hide-and-go-seek, she could find him before the Bushman's people do.  In the meantime, so-called "peacekeepers" (although no more) from Canada continue to die.

The American president commuted "Scooter" Libby's jail sentence.  Another criminal is set free by the Bush administration.  Keith Olbermann did a great op ed rant about  the whole situation, concluding that even Nixon was patriotic enough to resign.  Bush is too much of a nitwit and Cheney is far too greedy.  Both are too arrogant.  Why are the American people so apathetic?  Is it there lack of choice?  Indecision 2008 looms.  The world must hold its breath, or perhaps its nose.

I share my birth date with GWB.  This causes me no end of consternation.  However, I also share it with the Dalai Lama.  I am the intersect of good and evil.  Perhaps, I am its true axis.

Got the husband unit to take the day off so we can all head to the beach.  I hope to get some sleep as tomorrow night (tonight), we shall eat.

Went for my soul sister's birthday to the Cannery.  They printed our names on the menus, gave us balloons and dessert.  We had a lovely time.  Those of us who had the salmon did end up with a ticklish tummy.  A sign of age perhaps...

Happy Birthday to me!
