ice and obama

just as i described this blog to be...things that were on my mind and things that piss me off. first things that piss me off, ice. ice oh ice the bain of my pedestrian existence. the ever present ever treacherous walking companion and foe. here in almaty ice is a way of life, it is harder to find stretches of sidewalk or road without it, then those covered in seemingly feet of it. my fall-count this winter is only at two so far but one of them landed me on my back tearing of a button my coat. however no one saw it happen witch is the most important fact. only two actual falls but what i consider much MUCH more annoying the as i like to call it " oh shit , fucking ice " slip. this is that slip where you almost fall but end up just looking like your having a leg seizure. i hate ice for this, for the fact it actually slows down my walking travels due to the ever present slips and the endless search for the not iced part of the sidewalk. in a city that seems obsess over opulence, wealth and stature it amazes me we can't get some fucking salt shook on some sidewalks.
but anyway on to more pressing issues...my new president the obamanator. first off yes i am an obama supporter. i am a fiscally conservative liberal and support most of the obama agenda. however i am not a zombie who has been hypnotized by his admitted charm, grace and speaking ability. i am certainly impressed with the man and wish him all the best and hope that he can right the great american ship. however i am more interested to see what happens now. as always any politician running for office is never a politician during the campaign, there a regular joe. but once inside the oval office it all seems to change. it sort of reminds me of high school, how when you picked your schedule you had 3 days in the class before you were locked in and couldn't change it, the teacher was super nice and boasted an easy work load and not much homework. oh but once those 3 days were over the monster came out and it was 500 word essays due by friday. similarly I'm waiting for obama's 3 days to be over, to see what the oval office will do to him. anyway its late and i am tired have a good one.
