@BarackObama

I recently read this article that said one of Obama's strengths is his mastery of the digital era. Tweets pour out from Capitol Hill nowadays, whereas his predecessors didn't seem to have a grasp on the English language, much less a keyboard. In the same magazine, I read a lovely little blurb which brought up the point of the ever charming Ms. Palin's strength- her appeal to the stay-at-home mom. A long ignored voter, this group finally found a candidate to relate to.

I find two slight issues with all of this. First of all, with Ms. "I can see Russia from my house!", it's wonderful a neglected group finally found someone to reach out too. I wish it had been someone else, but what can you do? I just feel this trend stretches out in everything. Everything has a target market. I personally am studying design, and it always seems to boil down to will someone buy what you're making, and better yet- who? People look at things and it has to remind them of something. "That's soo vintage." "Omg, that would totally sell at Banana Republic." "I can see my sister wearing that." Is it possible for people, any people, whatever they're into, to not be into anything? Can politicians just target voters in general? Do they need the black vote, the mom vote? Do I need the upper-class customer? The trendy customer? Can't people just need each other?

Second issue is really...does Obama actually use Twitter? I wonder. I mean if McCain tweeted at Snookie from the Jersey Shore nothing surprises me. A little while back I think the internet was aconsidered lazy, for people sitting at home wasting time online. Now, it's the fountain of innovation.

Do I need to blog about what's trendy and in?

That's what the new internet customer wants, after all.

By the way, loved your speak today Barack!

Our combat mission in ending, but our commitment to Iraq's future is not.

Say what you want, the man talks pretty.

Or can I blog about whatever I want?

Like this gourmet chocolate company in Philadelphia my roommate showed me today?

mmmmmmmm!

Before you rush to answer, I already know the answer to my what can I blog about question.

It's not what I wanna hear.

I keep posting so many images. I briefly though about getting a Tumblr, but honestly? How many accounts can one person have? Nowadays, far too many. I cannot stumble, tumble, tweet, tube, blog, and so all day long. It would be the end of me. So bless you all who do. I get really frustrated at people when they are unorganized, but talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Try as I may, I lack the impecable organaizational skills I demand to see others. If I did, I had an account for images, one for words, one for statuses, and so one. But alas, that's for too many passwords. I've got more than a handful as is.

The internet is so, so effin big.

I'm not a huge Disney fan, but it's impossible to avoid liking them at least a little. Wall-E will always have my heart, and I did spend a few years of my girlhood delusionally believing I was in fact La Petite Sirene, aka Ariel. So, today's scattered images happen to be largely Disney influenced. But maybe it's also because I'm jealous my sister's going to Universal's Harry Potter World this week and I'm not? Either way, enjoy.

Don't underestimate the importance of... body language, HAH!
