Sunday Crumbs

It's been 3 weeks tonight since my mom left so abruptly and I've had a rock in my belly all day. It's the worse kind of heartache, the type I thought I'd only experienced once when my late partner died, but this is unique and special on its own, nothing compares. Under most extreme circumstances, I would call her when I was feeling this low, initiate a conversation then wait for the right minute to start whimpering, breaking out into a full-throttle cry. I can't do that anymore because she's gone, and my cries are for her. Not like I can call daddy, and doing that to my sister or little brother would be unfair and selfish at best. But my heart aches, really bad and especially tonight. I'm sure the Sunday night blues aren't helping any. God I wish it were spring or summer, I need it so bad. God hates me, I'm convinced.

There has been unexpected snow in Boston all day today. I think we were expecting some, but not what we ended up getting. Ugh, it's the sloppy kind also, a couple of inches of accumulation and luckily melting on sidewalks and streets; but it leaves a sloppy, dark slush behind, causing sloppy shoes and muddy puppy dog paws which then have to be wiped clean before coming-in and scampering around on the clean floors.

OHOHOH OBAMA

Seems like the Democrat glitterati are lining-up to endorse prez candidate and neophyte Sen. Obama. I'm no Hillary fan but come on; Hillary hasn't galvanized more support than THIS? It's pretty rotten in my book that even Caroline Kennedy has lauded the Oprah candidate as a potential "president like my father" while endorsing him in a New York Times op-ed piece this morning. You're kidding, right? No? Come on, seriously? Local reports say Sen. Ted Kennedy will follow Caroline's endorsement with one of his own tomorrow. I don't understand the Obama freight train and the way he's simply flown-in out of nowhere, hasn't completed his first term as a U.S. Senator and seems to get a complete pass on the litmus test of experience. I mean, how many times have YOU heard anyone in the media questioning the guy's experience or lack thereof? Am I missing something? Sheesh! No wonder I feel such a disconnect with the Dems.

STATE OF DEPRESSION

President Bush will give his eighth and final State of the Union address tomorrow night and while I'm not holding out hope for any major news, I DO hope he'll outline his final year in office and give us a glimpse of something good to come. War war war! I'm just so sick of it; I'm ready for something happy, even if it's bullshit. It's been a long 8 years George and I think it's time we heard something about rainbows and sunshine and shining cities on the hill and shit like that, even if it IS just smoke up our collective asses. So, say something happy and let the long national nightmare come to its much over-due ending.
