Politics

Do politicians even think of the people who they are representing when they are running? The minute I stop hearing "I know,"and start hearing, "what the people are saying" is the minute I'll start believing what these people are saying. The issue is I have never seen any politician (and since I was 3 when Harold Washington died he doesn't count) who actually delivered on everything he or she said she was going to do, or at least came to a reasonable compromise. I want to be a politician one day, but my issue is that I refuse to lie to my constituents, I refuse to make back room deals for something I don't believe just to push my agenda, and I plan on using social networking for my advantage. All of these things could spell a very short lived career.

#9: I’ve always had a problem telling time

I.

Optimism is a curse.

The issue is,

knowing something’s coming,

is not knowing when.

II.

Difficulty arises when there’s no guide,

and the hands are too short to tell the difference.

III

There is nothing worse

than arriving late,

to the wrong location,

knowing the directions are in your other pocket.

IV

I’ve always had a problem telling time,

it never listens.
