Presidential Debate.....

Well, now since we are talking politics let me tell you this is going to get messy. My views are my own and if you have a problem I am not one to dis others unless you dis me then I say "stick that in your juice box and suck it." As you can tell I am a teenager, but I am a spirited, philosophical, oppinionated teenager that wants her oppnions to be heard and understood by those who don't (understand that is some news stations are so biased that some people will be tricked into believing untrue statements). I however will be truthfull brutal and totally oppinionated with also the use of facts.

Fact: CBC ABC NBC and CNN all are supported by democrates. FOX and BLAZE are Republican. If you saw the aftermath conversations and reports, compared the two, and actualy watched the debate then the conclusion is absolute- All are biased.

Obama was like Porky Pig- eh uh ih, shesh might as well have animated this with having bugs bunny portraying Romney and Porky as Obama because that is how it seemed. (by the way bugs bunny is the best ever)
Obama was like a puppet. (On the internet it might be bad to disclose info concidering the safety of myself so I will just say FM or I and hope that those histoy buffs understand the acronym
Obama had 4 years to do something. He did the wrong things. He said the wrong things.
Obama dissed companies (Mostly Oil) like exxon mobil who, yes have lots of money, but support lots of things such as- a summer camp for a Native American 8th grade girl (11th grade now) who learned much and had an amazing time.
The person who was at the table in charge of the debate was in favor of Obama. You can tell by the way he only interupted Romney countless times and not Obama who was talking so slow and unpassionate that it was obvious who he favored.
Romney was passionate and would always have things to say. He never ran out and would always look Obama and the audience in the eye. His face was like 'yeah thats right Obama keep digging that hole you are burring yourself into'- in truth he was right to look like that.
Romney gives us choices. Such as with social security and medicare- you can chose private or federal.
Romney is ready to work with both partys democratic and republican.
Romney, when asked about government said this" Premote and Pretect....Life and Liberty...No Military Cuts...We are endowed by our creater.....The Pursuit of Happiness"

There were lots of notes I took, but theses stuck out to me the most. I hope that whoever watched the debate will not fall prey to the puppet master who has Obama on strings. Vote for a better America. I am not forcing you to change. I'm saying this could be better and I want better.

Oh, what to write about?

“Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.”

“Write about what really interests you, whether it is real things or imaginary things, and nothing else.”

“Write hard and clear about what hurts. ”

“I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That's the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.”

“I really think I write about everyday life. I don't think I'm quite as odd as others say I am. Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that's what makes it so boring.”

On Writing: Aphorisms and Ten-Second Essays

1. A beginning ends what an end begins.

2. The despair of the blank page: it is so full.

3. In the head Art’s not democratic. I wait a long time to be a writer good enough even for myself.

4. The best time is stolen time.

5. All work is the avoidance of harder work.

6. When I am trying to write I turn on music so I can hear what is keeping me from hearing.

7. I envy music for being beyond words. But then, every word is beyond music.

8. Why would we write if we’d already heard what we wanted to hear?

9. The poem in the quarterly is sure to fail within two lines: flaccid, rhythmless, hopelessly dutiful. But I read poets from strange languages with freedom and pleasure because I can believe in all that has been lost in translation. Though all works, all acts, all languages are already translation.

10. Writer: how books read each other.

11. Idolaters of the great need to believe that what they love cannot fail them, adorers of camp, kitsch, trash that they cannot fail what they love.

12. If I didn’t spend so much time writing, I’d know a lot more. But I wouldn’t know anything.

13. If you’re Larkin or Bishop, one book a decade is enough. If you’re not? More than enough.

14. Writing is like washing windows in the sun. With every attempt to perfect clarity you make a new smear.

15. There are silences harder to take back than words.

16. Opacity gives way. Transparency is the mystery.

17. I need a much greater vocabulary to talk to you than to talk to myself.

18. Only half of writing is saying what you mean. The other half is preventing people from reading what they expected you to mean.

19. Believe stupid praise, deserve stupid criticism.

20. Writing a book is like doing a huge jigsaw puzzle, unendurably slow at first, almost self-propelled at the end. Actually, it’s more like doing a puzzle from a box in which several puzzles have been mixed. Starting out, you can’t tell whether a piece belongs to the puzzle at hand, or one you’ve already done, or will do in ten years, or will never do.

21. Minds go from intuition to articulation to self-defense, which is what they die of.

22. The dead are still writing. Every morning, somewhere, is a line, a passage, a whole book you are sure wasn’t there yesterday.

23. To feel an end is to discover that there had been a beginning. A parenthesis closes that we hadn’t realized was open).

24. There, all along, was what you wanted to say. But this is not what you wanted, is it, to have said it?” ― James Richardson
