My first blog

So this is my first blog. I'm writing from the library today and hoping I can blog on the go from my phone but I'm not really sure of all the rules yet.... here are some of my current musings this week: 1. The president 2. Rebecca Black 3. Star Wars Craft Book By Bonnie Burton

1. The president: Let me preface this by saying I really don't care a whole lot for politics. I really don't think that anyone is doing an especially extraordinary job. I don't really care about a persons beliefs or personal life. I don't think that these things should correlate with their ability and platform for the job. I do, however, believe that the president should adhere to the guidelines for the job. I mean I wouldn't get a job doing I didn't meet the qualifications for. The president should not be exempt from this either. As I said I don't care much for politics, but I live in America, I want a president who is in fact an American. If I wanted a president from another country I would life in well, another country.

2. Rebecca Black: If you don't know who this is, she is noted as singing the worst song of all time, Friday. While it is certainly not impressive it is inanely catchy. I wanted to hate this song with a passion however, it was so catchy and simplistic that after I heard it I couldn't help but hum it the rest of the day. But the real thing to remember is that she is only 13 years old and if I was 13 and writing songs I'd write about the weekend and probably boys. In fact I probably have several poems, songs and stories from about that time that talk about those things. Though I am not sure what she means by "partyin partyin" as she is only 13.... But all in all it isn't the worst song I've ever heard.

3. Star Wars Craft Book by Bonnie Burton: I'm obsessed with crafts. Anyone who knows me will tell you I am an avid knitter, sewer, quilter and pretty much anything I can get my  hands on. I'm also working on my own knitting book, Knitting for the Zombie Apocalypse. I design my own clothes. I also love Star Wars and anything sci-fi... Ever since my Star Wars themed sleepover parties in elementary school! When I found out there was a Star Wars Craft Book coming out I had a serious nerdgasm! (An orgasm of sorts for nerding, like nerding out!) I have yet to purchase this book (wrong end of pay day) but I eagerly look forward to checking it out and am very pleased to announce that I have recently won a Star Wars craft kit from the folks at Del Ray and Star Wars Action News (my favorite podcast!) The SWAN folks just did an interview with Bonnie Burton, the amazingly rad chick who wrote this book and I have to say, I think I just found my new role model! She is very terrifical!

Well that wraps up my musings for today. Be sure to check out Friday by Rebecca Black, Star Wars Action News at www.swactionnews.com and Bonnie Burton's new book Star Wars Craft Book!!
