Sorry I don't update all that often its just something I don't think about until I am about to go to bed. So instead of updating I go to sleep, makes sense right? Anyway, I got into Bemidji State University!! How awesome is that? I looking forward to signing up for classes and getting all that stuff worked out and then there is paying all sort of money for books!! I am so ready for school right now it's going to be a challenge that I am sure of but it's nothing I can't do as long as I have everyones support and I ask for help when it's needed.
Precinct caucuses were on Tuesday night and R.T. Rybak received the most votes which is great but at the same time it was only by 1% which isn't overwhelming at all. Sadly there were only six people at my ward caucus which isn't all that great of a number but we were all made delegates to the country caucus which is on the 28th of February at BSU. Hopefully from there I can go to the state convention and help support Rybak in getting the DFL nod for governor. Though Mark Dayton is going right to the primary in September which is a bit annoying to me but it's in the future and I can't predict the future now can I?

Sometimes...
I should just keep my mouth shut or sit on my hands cause most people don't have my sense of humour or understand it. In other news today wasn't as amazingly random as yesterday but I guess I am ok with that for now at least.
Went back to work today officially i.e. I wasn't called in to cover someone else's shift and it was a a nice eight hours shift at the Skogfjorden which is always nice espeically when it's for a Norsk programmer and I get to eat Jarlsberg and Gjetost cheese both of which I haven't had in month. I really love family programme at work there is nothing like hearing the language of the village being spoken by young and old over good food and stories, it's really a great way to learn any language I think. Now if Tove was there that would just make my weekend but I get to see her enough in the summer.
I am on second two of Doogie Howser M.D. and I have around ten hours left of Mass Effect and then I'll be ready for Mass Effect 2... Ah yes I love my nerdyness at times, cause really the trailers for Mass Effect 2 just look ridiculous and I need something to escape to every now and again even though I really should but whatever that's just old hat by now in my life.
Oh I am trying to fund raise for R.T. Rybak

It's kind of hard to fund raise when there are so many great people running that and 7% unemployment in the state make it hard for people who are hard core political addicts like myself to care at this point. I also think there is a bit of fatigue in most Americans in politics right now since nothing seems to be getting done on anything and no one is really coming together on any thing. It's able about the now and never about the future it seems and though that might work for living ones life I am not so sure about governing a people. That said I am still ever hopefully that some day everyone will realize that when there is a common goal for everyone to work for real change can happen. I voted for Obama and I am very proud of that vote! So far he's been a pretty great president compared to Bush and I wish him the best of luck on his next three years in office.
One last thought, if no one mocked Rush Limbaugh for saying obvious stupid and phoney bull shit would he go away? At times I wonder if he just saying things to get the press to listen to him for a while. It's like a child that wants the attention of it's parents and therefore does something it shouldn't just to get a seconds of attention.

Random day
So I never really plan my days, I have a rough plan but it's mostly like buy food today or deal with bills today but never anything super real unless I am travelling then almost everything is super planned out.
Today was supposed to be my last day off before going back to work tomorrow but Jason was sick this morning so I went in for him. Six hours and two cleaner kitchen later I am done and instead of going home I head to the DC to talk to my boss and the rest of the crew that I haven't seen in a month!! Salome wants me back at Mar e which is great news!! Now I am just waiting to hear back from Karl about second half of the summer, maybe I'll be back at the Mar... Salome also said she'd try and look for some money to spend me to Portugal this spring if possible which would be very cool considering I have never been there and just a week there would improve the food at Mar e Floresta by one hundred percent if not more. I'll send Karl an email this weekend and hopefully hear back from him otherwise I am going to start planning a trip to Portugal.
Anyway... I was chatting with Martin about the state of things at work and life in general when I mention something about R.T. Rybak who I am supporting for Governor and turns out R.T was going to be in town at a forum that started at 5:30 and it was 5:00 so I got in my car and head towards BSU. The event was great fun I loved watching the people at it! The DFL candidates pretty much speed dated nine groups of people changing spots after eight minutes though it took them longer to move around because it was hard for some of them to stop talking. Out of the nine candidates present Matt Entenza and R.T. Rybak really impressed me, I'd happily vote for either one of them and even Mark Dayton was pretty impressive to me though to be rather honest I could support anyone of the candidates I met tonight. The highlight of the night though was when R.T. Rybak sat next to me while I was eating my Indian taco he said I should get involved in local politics and try to get on the school board and work my way up from there! R.T. just seems crazy energetic and that is what I like about him I feel like he could just make things happen better and faster then anyone else running. Did you know he meets every single high school freshman in Minneapolis? Who does that?
Time to pass out.
