released.

After a quite hectic Friday night I decided to head out of the craziness of COM Fest as well as Pride to the Drexel East. Sigh. This was to relax in air conditioning (as my apartment is fan-only) and to see the hyped movie 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' by Mr. Mike Moore.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I cried, and laughed and cringed. I am thankful that someone has that much drive to give the American people a lesson on the reality of democracy and government.

In regards to this drama filled weekend I would like to say that some people never change. The cheaters continue to cheat while the leeches continue to suck. Upsetting. Oh well, at least I only have to see them once a year.

Work is good - although this ‘blogging’ may become a bad habit. Something to keep an eye on during the 9-5 hours.

I would like to thank Tracie for bringing the Wal-Mart story to my attention. I would also like to congratulate her on reaching me before NPR did. Quite impressive!

I still do not quite understand this lack of equal rights (in this instance it is represented through a monetary value) when comparing men and women. I don't vow to be an intense feminist who achieves joy through a cacophony of statistics and chants, but I do believe in equal rights. As a woman I have never thought that I was lesser than my male counterparts. Yet, upon entering the architecture field I am becoming more aware of these ‘Good olde boy’s’ clubs and other such underground male business organizations.

But – I also have noticed this discrimination within the female community against other females. Eg. I was at a site last week doing some field verifications with a tape measure and a woman walked up to me and asked if I was making new drapery for them. Now, just because I have a tape measure and am wearing a skirt does not mean that I cover windows with dancing floral patterns. I find this sad.

Back to work.

Also for those unaware: Tracie's blog is - http://www.livejournal.com/users/tmz438/

Check it out - she's a smart political girl!

Sigh. After many months of putting off the task of publishing my life I have decided to join the ranks of political activists as well as idiotic twelve year old kids.

I am not quite sure what this will achieve world peace or stop the war in Iraq but I suppose it becomes another way to express guilt, happiness as well as frustration publicly. I cannot think of a better way to be passive agressive. How thrilling.

My sudden desire to partake in this current pet-rock-like fad is that due to a lack of self control in the copy cat mentality. Tracie, a good friend from the back 'home', Chagrin area has, just joined the fad too. I am quite naturally jelous of Tracie and her vicous post against the Wal-Mart that I have decided to create what you could call a Blog-Editorial on her posts. Hell, everyone needs an editor. Get ready Tracie - this will be fun!

I will be selfish also writing about my own worldly concerns. So, sit back and fall asleep as the everyday and mundane becomes spelled out to the point of exhaustion!
