The People Behind My Eyes

I went to Hobby Lobby and got a few things. The trip was unlike most of my shopping trips. This was uneventful, I mean except for when the employee decided we should debate Obama and McCain. I said  human beings were never meant to rule one another to this extent so despite good intentions and going in with a half ways pure heart Obama will begin to show the heart of a politician. I can see straight through McCain. He’s business as usual, nothing will change. I can’t see through Obama and that worries me. I don’t trust his smile and I don’t trust him. She wasn’t happy with the statement but I could tell the conversation was as enjoyable for her as it was for me. It did shock her though to hear a black woman say something against Obama. If you ask me a question I plan to answer it as tactfully as possible. You might not want to hear the answer so be careful of what you ask.

Good thing I didn’t mention my family is full of Republicans. LOL She might have stroked out in the paintbrush isle. It’s racial blasphemy is what it is, straight up racial blasphemy. LOL. After avoiding this act against my kind I took my little $8.00 purchase and went home. I figure a good political debate is worth having from time to time but should it be in a craft and hobby store? This is the same woman who stood outside one day using the f-word more than Destiny and Morton combined. I thought as I passed her, “That woman needs more crafts in her life.”

On my way home I stopped to see Chi who is sick right now. She doesn’t look good at all. I got a hug which was nice and then came on home. I then got a phone call from the ex but I didn’t pick up the phone. She routinely calls on her therapy day (Tuesday). I figure she’s triggered and needs a familiar voice even if the voice is from a woman she says hurts her regularly. She left a message. It seems she knew the guy that was killed the other night here in the city. A man in a wheelchair was coming home from a birthday party and was hit by two different cars and killed. The first hit him and left him for dead. A second hit him and killed him and left him there in the street. It was absolutely crazy. I saw it on the news but I didn’t put two and two together that it was Billy from where we use to live. Gracious sakes alive, to be hit twice like that is just crazy. So I guess she needed to reconnect with the familiar even when the familiar is someone she thinks is sick and hurtful. I’ve gotten several of these phone calls from her on a Tuesday. I picked up the phone once but not anymore.

I have one heavy session for tomorrow. I’m nervous already.
