Don't Get Pulled Down

I'm tired, so I'll have to keep this short. I haven't written in a while, but I've actually been pretty busy doing video work.
My sleep was all thrown off today. Sunday night/Monday morning, I captured footage from Chris and Amy's wedding until about 4 in the morning while I still had the GL2 to use as the VTR. Then I woke up at about 9:30 to return the camera. I then came home and went back to bed for a couple of hours.

I think on the way to Cinequipt, I saw a domestic abuse case. There was a black Suburban at the end of a drive way and man swinging his arms at the ground. I wasn't sure what he was doing, but as I was driving by, I swear a women rolled over and tried standing up after the man stopped. I told myself I'm running off zero sleep and I'm seeing shit.

So President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize a couple of weeks ago (the same day we bombed the moon). I was really confused as to why he won the prize because he hasn't really done anything. He is still fighting Bush's wars, still torturing, and hasn't done anything he has promised. When the conservatives we criticizing Obama 2 days into his term for not doing enough, I thought it was too early to tell. However, pretty soon, that excuse won't be good enough, so he better get his shit together. Of course, it's not all his fault. Our government has its checks and balances (kind of, Bush fucked so much shit up and made up so many new laws to allow the president more power) so sometimes his ideas don't always get through. Regardless, he still shouldn't have won the prize.
I was confused so I started reading some blogs to see what other people thought. There are a lot of reasons why people think Obama won the prize. None of them are really firm reasons, but I thought they made sense. Some thought maybe it was because Obama was such a fresh breath from Bush. That with Bush and Cheney, nothing could get achieved at an international level. Bush and Cheney were fucking awful, and you idiots that could vote back then elected those fucking idiots for two terms. So, some feel this is the world slapping Bush in the face. And I say, fucking good. Other people though it might be to give Obama a push to actually get shit done. Now that he has the prize, there is a spot light on him. People are going to keep a closer eye on him.
Remember, the nominations were in February. I heard Obama did more peace related topics before he was president and around the time of the nominations, people around the world were just so glad Bush was gone.
Still, he shouldn't have won it.

Now I'm going to bed, because I'm really fucking tired.
What a waste of a blog.
