The Marvelous Patric - Post a comment

dear blog,

Right now, I'm at Moorhead. I'm attending a graduate fair, representing my school. It is my job to tell people why they should pick SCSU over any other school.

I really don't know what i'm doing.

I went to SCSU because I live there. Sure, they gave me a great assistantship, so I guess I can talk about that. But, the programs? Yeah, i really don't know anything.

In other Patric news, it's Fallcon this weekend. That's like my favorite show. I love going there, it's a lot of fun. I don't expect to sell much, given the economy sucking like a blackhole.

Life is very busy. School and work take up a lot of my time. The rest goes to drawing FNS and the various house projects. The siding and roof is done, but now Rock is working on a three-season porch. I hold things. Last friday, I put a stormdoor on the front all by myself. That was interesting, but it worked out okay. It came with instructions, so I wasn't just trying to figure stuff out.

I think school is going well. I like two out of three classes. The one I don't like is terrible. It's supposed to be about technology and english, but all the material we've read (so far) is so horribly outdated. These things were written in the early 90s, predicting stuff that happened already three or more years ago. We weren't told it was an online class, but it is. And, it's using a MOO for it's online, which some may remember from, well, the early 90s. I've come to the conclusion that our teacher is at the very least incredibly lazy, if not incompetent.

The election is like a month away. As is probably obvious, I love Obama. Please vote for him. We can't take another four years of a leader who has no idea what ordinary people are going through. McCain thinks $5000 a year should be sufficient for medical costs. My mom spends more than that in just a couple months on prescriptions alone. Obama is right, we need to look out for each other. We need to be our brother's or sister's keeper. We are all in this together. We need to help each other. You want morality? Tell me, how is it moral to allow people to have to choose between medicine and food? How is it moral to give a tax break to the top 5%, and allow the poorest of the poor to loose their homes? How is it moral to say babies must be born, deny them health care and education, but then send young people to die in another country?
Voting for Obama is a moral choice. Frankly, I wouldn't vote for John McCain even if Satan himself was running against him.
