Negative Campaigning


Everytime I turn on my TV now all I see is one President cutting down the other one. This is no different because every presidential election seems to be like this. It's either a debate on every channel or a new commercial like every day.
Obama's commercials deal with McCain supporting to send jobs overseas and how he will raise taxes. Some of them deal with the fact that Palin isn't very experienced and isn't a good candidate for Vice President. I was wondering about that myself she doesn't seem like a very good candidate. I personally think he chose her because she is somewhat attractive and will distract away from some of the issues facing him.
Obama luckily doesn't face any of these problems. He chose a good running mate in Biden. He has more experience than Palin and worked in a bigger setting than Alaska. The main commercials about Obama are that he flip flops on many of the issues.

My Weekend

This weekend started out by school finally ending on Friday. After that I just laid around until I had to go to work @ 4. The four hours went by slow as I was anxious for the casino that night. Jenn(My Manager) was purposely making me stay late because she knew I wanted to leave. Finally she let me go and I got a hold of everyone and we left. First we went to Applebees to eat and I made the waitress pretty angry. For one she messed up and gave me hot wings instead of BBQ. After that everyone made me give her the 3 gift cards we were paying with. Then on top of all that they told her it was my b-day so she had to get them all together to come sing to me. So after that fiasco we left to the casino and we couldn't get there fast enough. When we got there I looked inside once I got in and signed in at the desk. Within 10 minutes of being there I hit my first jackpot on the billionaire slot machine. I won 2 out of the 3 mini games on it and ended up winning 10 dollars on that one. After I consistently lost money and won a few small ones here and there. I ended up cashing out down $3 but it was worth it. Nick lost all $20 and Champs and A-Mak both lost $5. Jake and Ryan both left positive.

Saturday I went to the mixed doubles tournament. My partner was Mollie Anderson. We played Mr.Langness and his son first. We tied with them @ 2-2. The next match we faced Nick and Larissa and we beat them 3-1. After that we faced Kaylin and Dave and tied them also. The next match we had was against Ethan and Jackie. This one was fun as me and Ethan were partners last season in Tennis and Jackie and Mollie were partners this year and last year. They ended up beating us 3-1. Next we faced Garceau and Rachel and tied them. The last match we played was against Katie Johns and Vince Gravedoni and we beat them 3-1. After all this I worked from 3-8.

Yesterday was the first weekend day I've had off in like a month. It was nice I sat around and watched Football w/ Derrick. Then we went to Marquette and Alan came and we went to Hong Kong. It was good and then we all went home and chilled around. Me and Champs went to Gunners house to talk to him about Derricks tattoo and we sat there and talked with him for about an hour. After we left Ashley called me and came to my house with Michelle and they sat around with me for a while. Then I brought Michelle home and went and chilled with Ahsley for a lil bit. She was tired from babysitting and me from the casino and work so I went home and went to bed.
