This seems to be a complete waste of my first diary on Dkos, but i don't really care at the moment. Why? you ask. Well, pretty much because I am a little drunk tonight since it is a Friday for me. Also, it seems everyone is interested in serious topics tonight, and I am not for reasons already mentioned. Therefore I will present a few topics that I care enough to comment on tonight since I am bored for the most part.
First of all an introduction to me. I am relatively new to Dkos as user, but I did lurk throughout the home stretch of the campaign season. After seeing a few GBCW diaries from relatively new users lately, I have begun to appreciate my lurking days since it helped me learn the rules of the road and that I would seemingly fit in before I made an ass out of myself. So please quit bashing lurkers!! (not that many do).
Also, as a newer member of Dkos I'd like to say that the past presidential election was the first that I could vote in. I missed 2004 by a couple of weeks. I hail from Minnesota, and must give a big shout out to Winerev since his diaries were one of the main reasons for coming out of the shadows. Anyway, I'll intersperse a few more facts about me, I'm sure, in the next couple areas, but I'd like to move out of the perfunctory introduction to me.
There are a few topics that I'm sober enough or interested enough to discuss this evening if anybody is so incline. Otherwise just come say "Hi" and I'm sure I'll be thrilled that you were bored enough to check out this lame diary.
GO HEELS!! Yeah, I know. Most of this site seemed to be backing MSU in this game, but I am just so happy for their senior class. Hansbrough works harder than anyone, and I don't think he has much of a pro career so he deserves this glory. Not to mention that I like being right and I'm sure the president does too.
Michele Bachmann... What can I say? The woman is a wingnut. But there have been a few good diaries on here about her the last couple of days, and being from MN I can't seem to get enough of her. Well, actually I could, and there's a link in my sig to Actblue where you can donate to the eventual MN-06 candidate. As an aside, I am, very luckily, not represented by Bachmann in MN-06. I am, however, represented by Erik (he spells Eric wrong) Paulsen in MN-03. So not quite the same wingnut status, but still from the wingnut party.
There are two other things I'd like to mention in this diary. First, I stumbled across Glenn Beck's radio program for the first time tonight. It was horrifying! I didn't realize it was his at first since I didn't recognize his voice but I was screaming at the radio in about 5 seconds. Later (about 30 seconds in) Dkos bashing began due to some caller. It was pure hatred. I didn't realize it was his show until the first commercial break.
Onto number two. I heard this program on the way home from work tonight. I work as a server and I'm sure there are many other server/bartenders current and former on this site and I would love to share stories. Server stories can be the best and are cathartic all at once so lets have fun!
Hmm... Also considering I'm from MN, I am always good for a couple Norm comments, but don't ask me about ballots. Plenty of other diarists have covered the number better than I, and I am much better suited for disparaging Norm's tactics at the moment.
Snark, pooties (I love all animal pics), pie, and all are welcome. Just looking for a little entertainment this Friday (for me) Nite
P.S. Apologies for the meanderings of a drunken mind.
