Sara and Jim's random, funny musings that will make you laugh, cry, scream, and be thankful you did all three.

About Me

We are Sara and Jim. We worked together at a place called SESDAC that you wish only existed in your nightmares. We also had classes together. We're both brilliantly smart and you'd never even guess that. We're also really funny which astounds most people. We like to be nice, we like to be mean, we like to talk about randomness, we both speak Indian languages, make homemade pizzas, and love iTunes. We both have degrees and jobs. Neither of us are losers but we live in loser-ville. We are racist to each other to show our deep and profound love and appreciation for each other. Someday we'll write a tell-all expose book that will shock and astonish and amaze people. Someday we'll also be rich and Jim will live in Sara's basement. Jim is now BFF's with Sara and her Dweemo husband, Nolan. We are here to pump. You. UP.

The Candy Man

It seems our nation has really reverted to this whole idealogy that appeals to most 3 year olds. It's called instant gratification. We just want everything now, now, now, don't we? That's why we've got plastic in our wallets and fat on our asses. The right wing really knows how to capitalize on this and turn our new President into a bad guy. There's been this whole slew of mud slinging at President Obama for "not delivering on his 516 campaign promises" and about our nations descent into rotten quagmire.

Please. Grow up. These are just the piggy squeals of sore losers. Get over it. If the reds were doing so great, would public opinion of President Bush have sunk as low as it did? Would Nancy Pelosi have needed so much botox to appear even slightly happy to be at her governmental position everyday? I think not. Listen, I'm not anti-republican and I'm not going to say republican values are bad. There are a great deal of reasons why I'm an Independent and that's because there are principles from both parties I really believe in. What I am against is the fact that Republican's seemed to have turned into the quintessential good-ole-boys network that enjoys bad mouthing change because change = them having to roll up their sleeves and do a bit of work too.

Let's remember that our President has been in office for right around 3 months, please. Let's remember that working for a nation's government, no matter whether you're the head honcho or the lowly coffee runner includes a great deal of bureaucratic mumbo jumbo. I imagine someone somewhere has to sign and stamp a piece of paper just to get a double cappucino. Things like governmental transparency, change we can believe in, and elbow grease take time. Things like WORK takes time.

How is ANYONE supposed to deliver on every single on of their campaign goals in less than three months? When you work for the government you're lucky if anything gets done in a timely and efficient manner. We've been operating on the principles of gummy stasis for awhile now and even the biggest ball buster high rolling change talker is going to encounter some setbacks to getting the ball rolling. A lt of this just boils down to how unsettled our country is right now. We screwed up our own economy, we're all in debt, we're in a war that we can't win, and let's face it, NO OTHER CUNTRYIN THE WORLD LIKES US THAT DAMNED MUCH. We know we're the unpopular kid at school. So instead of running with that fact and making our own lives happy and better, we're desperate for $400 jeans that will "make everyone like us and make me feel happy again".

Please. We need to get over ourselves and take a bit of a look around. We did this to ourselves. We don't deserve international sympathies, we deserve to accept our errors and make some changes we don't like. No one was happy with President Bush by the end. But if you expressed that you were somehow anti-American. Now, if you're in line with President Obama, you're even more anti-American. Do you know what we're all doing by focusing on these petty trivial things? WASTING TIME INSTEAD OF GETTING TO WORK.

This, I believe, is the heart and soul of the matter. We want to avoid the truth and the ugly mirror. So instead of doing our part to fix problems and be a part of "change we can believe in", it's just soo much easier to whine and wax poetic about the way things "ought to be". Did you ever work in fast food? Maybe back in high school? There you were, cleaning out the Dilly Bar machine or filtering the chicken mcnugget grease and pissed that you were doing it while your coworker Bambi stood right next to you whining about how HAAAAAARD this is and how much this job SUUUUUCCCKKKKS. That's a bitter pill to swallow. What's even harder to swallow is that now you're just another Bambi.

Get over yourself. We could always go back to this . . . .

Neither are perfect and they work with a terribly imperfect system and a country that enjoys excess and self-absorbancy. They work with whiners, slackers, and losers. We should be proud to be American, eh? Oh and here's just a bit of something for your consideration.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for writing this. But whatever. That's fine by me.
