Sorry I have posted in ages. Once the primaries were over, I almost felt let down. Maybe I loved to hate them? I just suddenly felt kinda bored and listless. Anyway, I'm trying to keep myself busy by exploring flooring deals but it just doesn't have the same charm as people search, you know what I mean? I need to find someone new...
It's almost over! Can you taste it?? (Not if you're on one of these record label diets! LOL! Hilarious, check it out!) I mean, the primaries, silly! Tomorrow are the last primaries! Hooray! I've been on the edge of my seat all this time that I haven't been able to do a people search in ages. Don't worry, once this all calms down I'll have a lot more news for all of you who want to search people. Until then, I'll be watching CNN. Peace.
Okay, I'm back on the politics! I'm a junkie again, and proud of it!! Maybe it's cause my guy is winning (actually, he's WON if you're honest with yourself) but I'm totally into the election. Maybe even more so than before. Which is a crazy amount to be into politics, because I was abso friggin lutely kaaaraaazy about OBAMA before all this. So you tell me! I mean, I've still been able to find people in my spare time or whatever, but it's not the same focus I have on the election. And I think that's a good thing, cause everybody else seems to want to be me and run background search after background search on my man Barack, but that ain't gonna work! No sir! I gotta cool down. Edwards just endorsed Barack, so I think I can rest easy for a bit. I'm gonna go read this hilarious Giant List of Alternatives to Happily Ever After.
Okay, my anger has given way to simple apathy. I'm just starting to let go of my investment in the election. I've put way too much energy into it as is. There's nothing else I can do to affect the outcome...I just have to let things take their course the way they will. If I get all worked up, I'm just gonna get let down, or worse - have a stroke or something. I'm young, I know, but it could still happen if the stress levels are high enough. Of course I'm still pulling for my man Barry, I just know that the powers at be don't want him to get the nomination, much less the presidency. Eff em, though. Barry, you got this! I just can't worry about it anymore. It's killing me, when I could just be a good old people finder like usual. But it's truly hard to just forget about it, especially when I'm trying to find person and everyone around me is spouting lies about Barack. Maybe I'll just focus on funny stuff, like this Rant Farm To Light Graffiti. I suppose I could just head home early and focus on my recent health kick and search for the best multivitamin.
Okay, so I'm pretty miffed about the election right now. Clinton is completely full of lies and misdirections. Obama has tons of ammo to fight back, but he's been running such a detached, bulletproof campaign based on changing the way politics are usually conducted that any move on the offensive could be painted as negative. Blah. It's so frustrating. I'm considering even voting for McCain, or not at all, if she gets the nomination. We need to send a message to our leaders that we will not stand for politics as usual. It's wrong and it's bad for this country. She's willing to do anything to secure that nomination, even going so far as to say she'd rather have McCain in office than Obama. Disgusting. Besides being pissed off, I've been people searching like normal. Check out address lookup - very cool site. Background check is another good one. Or use this people search engine, if you want to find a person. Ever wonder about finding a therapist? Wonder no more. I'm gonna go stew.
What's been going on, you ask? I'm still doing the whole volunteer thing. I stepped up my game this past month, though, and worked with the Obama campaign here in LA. I tried and I tried to push his message to all those would-be Clinton voters, and I think I did make some difference (went door to door in East LA, cold called random people, that sorta thing) but in the end the Latino vote (which I was courting) went mostly to Hillary. Oh well. At least Obama should get a nice number of CA delegates. Good thing it's not winner take all. But this whole super-delegate thing is worrisome. Since they get to choose who to vote for, I just hope they don't tow the old-guard party line and choose Hillary. She honestly has no hope against McCain in a general election. She's way too polarizing and I think she'd bring the Republican voters out in droves. Enough politics, though. I got some great people search links for you guys. Okay, I can't get away from politics now. Sorry. You can use your people search skills for political good. Find people and get them to vote for Obama! Or, go here if you need help finding an expert. We can do this people...let's make change real!
Things have been going really well lately. I've been helping out at several soup kitchens, contributing to charities, volunteering at a number of non profits, and I've never been happier. And this all started BEFORE the New Year, so you can just chalk it up to a temporary resolution. Nope, this is the new me, here to stay! What's great about this is that it was my people searching that allowed this change to occur. If I hadn't found my old girlfriend online, I probably never would have been compelled to start giving back and acting on my inclinations. Awesome, huh? Looks like people searching isn't just a selfish exercise...it can truly be beneficial to those around you. And so, today's post is all about finding...things, people, whatever! Here are some awesome links to get you started. Trust me, take the plunge...it's worth it!
