Benizar Bhutto, again.

Bhutto was freed recently from house arrest. She believes the arrival of Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte is the cause. He did speak out against the arrests of political figures and does stay abreast of the game by recommending to Musharaff that conditions are they are, are not conducive to democratic elections.

Democracy has no place in the hard black and white of the number crunch. Debts off my shoulders, I worry no more for them, for jobs are easier to get than I think. I just remember that money is but money is but money. Then forgetting my troubles by watching a last year's soap opera.

Hillary takes Iowa.

Hillary takes Iowa by storm, sending out messages through campaigning, advertisements and sending her husband to speak. These out of the way mainly rural states support is super important for winning the democratic vote.

Just like this, I remember I need to take my debt by storm. Zoom in, if I may. Take another look at how much I owe this awful world. Paying off debt may seem insignificant, but take another look. When we mature and get out of college and have a steady job, we end up with loans which are just another part of life. Home loans, student loans, car payments, all of the above. So they are an important part of becoming a responsible adult. We pay them regularly and effeciently. Life goes on.

Separate but Equal

Around the time of the Black Revolution, Freedom Fighters, Rosa Parks and all that, separate but equal were horrendous phrases. They stood for truly unequal circumstances and all that remained of thinking people were differnt just because of a few genetic variations.

Nowadays, however, I believe we should resurface separate but equal clause in the terms of relationships. We hate hearing that phrase. It hurts us to hear that we are different from any other person. But it has to be said. We are different. And in our relationships we should be treated differently.

I'm sure you've run across one or more of these people who believe everyone (but them) should be treated in the same way. They use the same tired phrases and words to describe everyone and everything.

Seeing that people can work together but not be carbon copies of each other helps. That each person is unique and individual and should be approached in a different way is helpful. Our relationships with others will improve as we take a step back from ourselves and realize we can't treat our friends the same way we treat our mother. We can't treat our dogs the same way we treat our babysitter. There is no one formula we can use to treat every person that is important to us.

Relationships mean work and if you're not willing to put in the effort, then the relationship will fall apart.

Bhutto Under House Arrest

Benizar Bhutto, former Pakistani Prime Minister came under house arrest today, after the suggestion of asking the general Pervez Musharraf to step down from his emergency rule. She says that the time
has come to decide to choose either a people or one man. Musharraf declares his rule is imperative to unify the government in skirmishes along the border with Afghanistan.

Like Benizar, I feel that time has come to choose either either myself or my debt. Just really who am I? So abandoning my job at Chuck E. Cheese and trusting to the fates or muses as the case may be, I venture into the world of writing. This road promises to be a rocky one, but my fingers typing furiously on the keyboard, I will come to more experience and hopefully wisdom about life.

Presidential Tweaks

Hillary has been blasted for "planting" questions among students to ask at various Q and A sessions. Edwards says, he would answer questions that were asked. So are democrats attacking democrats? Is it because she's a woman? Are we already having dirty politics this soon in the game? Maybe Clinton could stop planting questions. She insults our intelligence with her planted questions, as if we would not know when the wool is being pulled over our eyes.

Not letting us ask our own questions, speaks to the candidate not being prepared to have a ready answer, or not knowing her issues enough to speak out.

Knowing this type of planting now will give indications of future presidental debacles to come, so stay tuned.

The number 8

Nothing special about the number 8, except it is the last ball to go into the slots when playing pool. There is nothing special about it, except some people consider it lucky. It's that ball that you're playing for when getting rid of your debt. That's what you're aiming for, the last ball into the slot. If you can't get the other balls, fine, but when you're down to a tie, and it's the universe versus yourself, you can plainly see, that the number 8 is a very important number, indeed.

Treaties

Sometimes I wish it could be like the old days, where people were in serfdom and worked directly to pay off thier debts. Or in fairy tales where they wish their debts away. Either way, they were focusing too much on their problems.

Taking a step back and looking at the positives is the best way of reducing those worry lines. Soothing those backaches, and putting a positive spin on things. Releasing those fears could be a way to have what seems to be a big burden, be changed into something small.

Debts paid.

Paid off two debts yesterday. UT Southwestern and Dr. Dave.

Paying off one of my debts, is satisfying if nothing.

Stuck.

What do you do with an ostrich who sticks it's head in the sand? Drown it so the sand is washed away? Convince it with strange words and reasonings, Probably the best option is to ignore it. I personally have never seen an ostrich with it's head in the sand. Maybe it's an old wife's tale.

Peacocks are interesting birds, too. The males are the colorful ones and dress up, while the females are dowdy and quiet and demure.

What do bird's have to do with debt? If you make chicken feed, you don't have any eggs to count before they hatch.
