It's my Birthday, It's my Rant

It's my 30th birthday and now I must blog on a random string of unconnected thoughts, goals, and questions for you to ponder. And begin . .

• In the Midwest, politicians are often accused of going "Washington." I wonder what they are accused of in the DC representative district. Perhaps going "federal." Here is my favorite attack ad right now, and perhaps of all time. Be sure you have the volume up. More thoughts on this after you watch it.
• What pronoun do you use for an antecedent of a person who is changing genders?
  Ever feel like something's been around your entire life? That's the way I felt about Mr. Food. I always remember that guy being on WTWO (worst television station ever, IMHO) when I was growing up and I see him almost daily on WTHR now. Recently, I discovered he's been on the air for 30 years. I guess he has been around my entire life.
  
• I have a 30 tiara that I will be wearing the majority of the next two days (Woot, woot Miss Mindy). Today's activities include but are not limited to: doing dishes, doing laundry, making beds, general cleaning, going to the gym and working out like a prize fighter (HAVE to if I'm going to eat as much cake as I plan on eating!), going to the mall (although I'm not sure why as I have NO money), fixing dinner, and going to Life Group (thank God it's not THIS Life Group).
  
• Ok, so in the Baron Hill/Mike Sodrel ad referenced above, shouldn't as much be said about hiring little kids to say, "hit the hooker with the tire iron" for political gain as playing violent video games? Perhaps it's one of those actors who's really a woman (ala Bart Simpson)?
  
• In a recent post title on one of my blogs (scroll down if you want to see the post), I made reference to a quotation ("Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like bananas.") I did not realize was Groucho Marx's intellectual property or I would have accredited him so. Instead, I thought it was just a humorous maxim. My apologies to Mr. Marx even though Karl is my favorite of his brothers.
  
• Did you know that if there is a gap between children of 5 years or greater, the birth order starts over again? (HT: BTB)
  
• Alas, I did not make it to my goal of 30 by 30. I am satisfied with my accomplishment of 27 though. Numbers I feel greatly more important - 3 sets of 12 push ups (the REAL kind, no girly crap here).
  
• Speaking of, in my physical world, I plan on owning 30, making it even better than 29 which was pretty awesome for me.
  
• In my intellectual world (aka my MENTAL world), I MUST finish my thesis this year before it kills me.
  
• I would enjoy some kudos on my MySpace Blog. No one ever gives me kudos (or comments for that matter). Yes, I am whining.
  
• The final installment of A Series of Unfortunate Eventswas fantastic. I am still mulling it over 2 weeks after reading it. Read the entire series so we may discuss.
  
• I composed this entire blog and then promptly deleted it, forcing me to realize that I am 30 and perhaps not as computer savvy as I would like to be.
