Had a lovely Thanksgiving... spent Thursday with Mike and his mom, sister, grandparents, uncle and two cousins. Ate a fabulous meal with veggies straight from his uncle's garden. Watched UT beat up on Texas A&M. Spent Friday with Mike and his dad, sister, cousin grandma, great aunt and great uncle. Ate another great meal. Sat in the hot tub. Toasted marshmallows over a fire. I really miss my family though and can't wait to go home.

I don't think I've ever hated school as much as I do right now. The next three days will be horrible, but after that I'm free :)

I should be writing my 15 page paper on the elaboration likelihood and limited capacity models and how they affect advertising during professional sports games, but instead I got caught up looking at recent ad campaigns. Even though I'm not doing my homework I'm still kind of doing homework... right?

just watch it

Finally!

Happy Election Day!

Ron Paul

Election tomorrow and all Mike and I keep discussing is Ron Paul... there is something about him we love and respect. On a personal level I do not agree with many of his stances, but on a political level I really do believe in him. That is an important point- he keeps his personal beliefs to himself and instead promotes what he believes will be best for the country as a whole. RP is about leaving many party-dividing decisions up to the states, cutting government spending in superfluous areas (ie Patriot act, no child left behind, IRS), bringing the troops home, ending NATO, I could go on and on. He is a republican-leaning libertarian. Not what the republican party is today, but what it is supposed to be. I'm not going to sit here and say he is 100-percent my perfect dream candidate, but he comes a whole lot closer than everyone else.

I feel a little like a poser voting for Obama... well, not voting for him, but trying to be a supporter and get other people to vote Obama also. It was at first more a vote against McCain (definitely a vote against Palin) and I didn't feel comfortable voting for a third party because our election process only works in favor of the democrats and republicans, but now I do believe in him. He sucked me in! For now, GObama!

Maybe next time.... Ron Paul R3volution 2012?
