To introduce myself – I am a 23 year old American who grew up in Michigan, went to high school in northern Idaho, and went to college in London and Florence. I’ve just returned and am now living in Chicago.

Well… I have my Flint blog, and what a blog it is! At first, I had a bit of difficulty getting oriented, and I’m still figuring out the Paxtons’ politics.

As it turns out, their blog corresponds to a family of eight.

Blue Skies Readers!

Come to our debate party on Friday.

Here is the invite as posted on the Kerry campaign website:

WHEN:

October 8 @ 7:30 PM

WHERE:

Connor and Sam’s LAIR of GOTHIC FUNK!

5820 N. Kenmore Ave.,

I just sent a Letter to the Editor of the Flint Journal.

It’s nothing new to most of you…

This is the letter to which I respond:

Bush Always the Right Man

Here is my letter:

DETERMINATION AND DISCRETION

Brenda Harris’ posted a compelling letter Wednesday in favor of President Bush.

This one’s easy.

All you have to do is vote for who won the VP debate last night.

Some of these polls might be closing soon:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com

http://www.foxnews.com

ABC and CBS have concluded their polls, determining respectively that Chaney won and Edwards won.

For the lack of recent posts…

For some reason the last two didn’t publish for two days.

Tonight I’ll be posting on Edwards/Cheney, some Chicago politics, and hopefully a new link.

Also: Tom Scharbach, my godfather, might be posting here this month.

This month I will be reading the following as research for Euphemism:

1. The Castle of Otranto by Horace Warpole

2. The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe

3. History of Western Civilization: A Handbook, Sixth Ed., Part I, by William H.

To depart from politics for a moment…

Amber sent me her diary’s url. It is www.livejournal.com/~_mercygirl_.

I actually have no memory of how or why it got taken down.

Contrary to what she thinks, my friends are welcome to be as egotistical as they like!

#1. THE NEW BLOG

An Empire Wilderness

http://www.empirewilderness.com/weblog/index.php

An Empire Wilderness is maintained by Cory, a graduate student in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He is a vegetarian, Eagle Scout, and bitterly cynical Bush-hater.

His comments, however, are reasonable and grounded, qualities I find often lacking in those of us irate at the current administration.

Not much to write today.

I began to draft a Letter to the Editor of the Flint Journal, but I don’t think it’s quite time.

I’m better at responding than I am at opening, I’ve found.

I was referred to MoveOn.org
