You had better be scared! I'm watching you! As far as President Obama is concerned, here is my question... Race. When you have one parent who is African American and one parent who is Caucasian... which race are you? Do you go by the colour of your skin? Do you select features, such as hair, face, etc. to make the determination? Do you pick the race that you feel will give you an edge? What I believe is that we need to put the entire race problem behind us and move on. Obama is one-half white. If his birth certificate says that he is a Caucasian, would this have changed history? He is still the 44th President of the U.S.A., but now he is just another white guy. During the race for the Presidency, Obama was all about "the people". There was no discussion about race. At the inauguration, it was all about race. Did he forget that his mother was white? How sad that our country can't move on. I think race ought to be removed from being a factor in life. We all ought to just be Americans. Enough of my rant. And by the way, I have no idea what race is on President Obama's birth certificate. My vote for President went to the candidate who I felt could best lead the country. THANK YOU. At last, someone has picked up on a point I've been talking about from the very beginning! As for "which race are you", after watching Australia and seeing the treatment of the so-called "creamy" children that were taken away from their families for being mixed-race it appears that you are in both camps and in neither camps. You don't have to be a genius to think of people who have been prejudiced for this in the past and in fiction. But as you say, in Obama's case, the race card has indeed been played BUT, to be fair on Obama, HE wasn't the one to play it, it was the media. Everyone over here kept on saying that "America really needs a black president right now", but DOES America need that? America needs a good leader regardless. I don't think Obama will improve standards for the black community in the USA as some people have suggested (and thus imply that the standard DOES need improving, which I don't think it does). If he does well then I will indeed admit that I was wrong. But I have lost faith in the American voter simply because America complains about this and that and then votes the opposite way. But then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I cannot talk politics. You are very knowledgeable in politics! Where is TGHL when we need him? What Obama has done for the African American community in becoming the President, is significant. There is more out there for a young black person, than becoming a sports star and Obama has succeeded in reaching the top!!! That is true, but actively addressing the issue in that way again implies that there is a problem. It would be better to be unimpressed that a black individual has gotten to the top because then you completely elliminate the idea of race. Of course, congratulate the individual for the SUCCESS but leave race out of it. That just promotes the idea that people of different races have different oppertunities open to them. I know nothing about politics, I just waffle. Would that waffle be with syrup? In the USA people think that the best way to be someone is through sports or acting. Forget education... that doesn't get you anywhere. I maintain that America has a smell and that smell is somewhere between doughnuts and waffles. Mmm. I'm hungry. I warmed up to Obama on finding out that he's too attached to his Blackberry that he insisted on keeping it with him in the White House. He must really love that phone! More than the phone... I think he is so accustomed to the immediate contact and reply, that he felt that he went back to the dark ages without it. He said that that way someone on the other side of the country can send him a message asking him "What are you doing?", thereby being kept in check. A good idea in theory, but if *I* were the friend of the president of the United States I'd feel a bit funny about questioning him! But a government should be afraid ofits people, not the other way around, so I suppose it's a good thing. Or good publicity for Blackberry. Also, there is the fact that the USA keeps a log of all communication of the President. With the Blackberry, it would be much harder. Not impossible though.

This time, I am asking for contact lenses. I have never worn contacts, but am always misplacing my glasses. So, now is the time for contacts.

Tell your parents they need to switch to AT&T. (Yeah... right.) And flash works on my iPhone.

Sounds like the newest Summer action flick. "HORATIO...trapped, alone, with four bots and fourteen guests! Will he survive?! This Summer, Some actor I don't care about is...HORATIO: THE MOVIE" *bakes Mushroom_king some fabulous cookies*

Scary... me, four bots and 14 guests.

Dinner at Planet Horatio. What do you think I had for dinner?

Mushroom_king... you are very talented! Not only as a story teller, but author, lyricist and poet. *presents Mushroom_king with The Blue Note Award*

That's great! You got me laughing!!! I need to update my art program. It still won't work.

YOU BETTER Tonight I am not going to order off the menu, I am just going to allow the waiter to bring me a small salad, a main course and coffee following the meal. Please let my server know. Thank you.

STELLAR!!!!!! YOU JUST EARNED THE DOUBLE GOLD STAR AWARD FOR THIS PIC!!! *THROWS THE AWARD AT ARKCHER*

OHHHHH, HOW PURDY.

*stops in for dinner*

not good enough. Because my restaurant has soup. And a maniac toaster. We also have a Jack Nicholson air conditioner But do you have a Peter Max lava lamp? yes we also have a Peter Lorre ceiling fan How about a Joey Ramone meat grinder in rainbow colours? We. Have. EVERYTHING. Even a Billy Idol. Like, Billy Idol of everything. Awesome!

Did I get lucky!!! When we checked into the hotel today, the gentleman behind the desk decided to give us the most fantastic rooms. We are on the 31st (top) floor of this hotel with the most incredible view overlooking the water. The city of Vancouver is the site of the next 2010 Winter Olympics and the amount of building is incredible. Pictures will follow showing the most wonderful scenery!!! Lexxscrapham... Hi!!! I am over in your neck of the woods. Or sort of close!

A sadist must have invented those eye drops. Now... name that poor little teddy bear! This is the special bear from Phil. Mr. Bear. There... I have named him.

What's that? Watching YET ANOTHER film. NO. No what? Grrrrrrr. No more films!!!!! Stop goofing off or I will have to blindfold you.

I'm in Vancouver, B.C., so I am going to sleep.

Name that Teddy Bear!!!!!!!!

Because I made a boo-boo. I wish I could lose all my excess weight overnight. Granted, but then Mr. Roboto will steal your lunch. I wish Cheesemaster would start coming back here. Granted, but then Cheesemaster requires you to reply to every single one of his posts and he posts thousands per day. I wish Cheesemaster would start coming back here.
