Again

Well the Democratic National Convention is over, Obama has delivered his acceptance speech and McCain tried to steal the Dems thunder by announcing Alaskan Gov Sarah Palin as his running mate and the talking shirts at the cable news channels have described the action as they do.
What impressions were you left with?
Here're mine...
I'm kinda embarrassed to say so, but I find myself excited about Obama as the leader of my country...I know. Right? I can't help it...I find myself wanting to believe him. Of course one's expectations of honesty from a politition must be curbed lest one is tragically hurt by said polititions subsequent heinousness...and yet I want to believe. I've surprised myself by being inspired by Obama. At least he's saying the right things, as far as I'm concerned anyway. The changing of rhetoric is at least progress. I find that this man speaks of the things that seem important to me, domestically and globally.
The Republicans played typical political games by "allowing" the Dems their night, deciding to NOT "leak" McCain's Veep choice right after Obama's speech. Instead they waited til the next morning when the pundits were prepared to spend all morning lauding Obama's speech, thereby stealing the airtime from Obama and leaving the pundits handicapping the VP race and scanning their blackberries wanting to be the 1st to "report" that a flight was chartered in Alaska or who was still in their home state. It worked, so kudos to the little psuedo Roves for that, but it didn't change the fact that some 30,000,000 people watched Obama speak, many of which hadn't before or had very little.

ParishInProgress

I have started another blog that will focus mostly on the fictional writing. The link provided will get you there. http://ftdparishnprogress.blogspot.com/

Come here for observations, rants and ramblings which, with the political spring abloom with pustulent blossoms, should be venomously flowing outta my fingers soon.

I also have some new recipes to lay down and some diary too maybe. So that'll be at some point this weekend and then reguarly posted....at least that's the plan.

But for fiction, go to the new site and for idiocy, come here. Peace out.

Finn

Well,HelloThere

FIRST!!!! I'm FTD Parish, if it even matters, but I'm too tired to carry on the ruse. Finn Baker IS FTD Parish, my psuedonym. yada, yada, I'm gonna post as Finn but you know....ya know?

Now, after much too long of an absence, the postings continue. I've deleted the last several entries in the Junkies series as I have decided to go a different way with the story. Instead of junkie vampires from outer space.....I know, just sounds goofy doesn't it? But instead of heroin addict vampires, we're just gonna develope the characters we've met(Thomas, Dirt, Maya....maybe Buzzy and Bridge??) and some new ones as the story moves forward under a new title(I'll go back and edit the titles I've already posted with the new title later). I'll continue the vampire junkies later in their own story(with the junkies title), but not in this one. This story started out as a way to get to the vampires and ended up introducing me to people I want to get to know better. I'll continue the junkies series because I really like the idea for this story.....and my twist on their situation. But for now it's the same ol' story with a whole new title and direction. After that(and maybe during) I'm gonna play with the Idiot series some as I really like that isea too and am excited about it.

I'm sure everyone that I DID have reading this has stopped checking in long ago, but I'm still donig this for me.....and I guess, if you're reading this, for you. Good to be back. Type to you soon/
