Concerning Absences

Lawd haf mussy its been forever since I posted a blog. These, from here on out, will be weekly synopsi, with the exception of important nota benes.

This week: I have been ill with a common cold. It sucked, but now I am better. I had to miss a day of my internship over it. Nice start John, but lettuce start at brass tacks.

Monday: This day I started my internship at IGE. Good people, good people. I basically got to know the people there. There are a few people of my generation, which is cool. Some are graduate fellows, others are interns. Every morning there we start with devotions. This week the COO was leading them. The theme was the life of Saint Paul (he's Catholic, so it's "Saint Paul," not just "My Buddy Pauly," which most evangelicals are likely to be comfortable with saying, mmm.) Very nice. We had dericious pizza. Mental note: Armand's is excellent.

Tuesday: First full day at the internship. Continued working on researching the process for applying as a non-profit in all 50 states (Attn Daniel, look into this and the Unified Registration Statement). People took me out to Chinese. Very nice. Left an hour early cuz I was illsome.

Wednesday: Called in sick...lame.

Thursday: Returned to IGE in a better circumstance. Moved onto a new project: Writing up country profiles and prayer requests. Every week, we showcase an issue in the countries we work in and petition a prayer request for events around the world concerning religious freedom. I also made a sweet flyer for IGE's Board Conference the day after I finish the internship. Had Chipotle for lunch. I had the barbacoa, not that big a fan, but I enjoyed the annoying army man and his Brooklynian friend. They really loved the movie "Man on Wire."

Friday: Busy day! Went to volutneer at GRM to find my guy was busy. Had chinese food at Chinatown Express. It was ok, but I'll give it another shot. Went to a briefing on healthcare at the Hall of the States. Then a ton of us went out to Ethiopian food at Etete. Dericious!

Saturday: Cleaned kitchen. Went out to eat thai food at Thai Roma. Dericious! Returned to apartment, watched first half of Wedding Crashers with people. I hate that movie. Worked on paper, played brain quest, wrote blog.

Love you all. Yes, even you!

Concerning the Christian Coalition

Today, at my internship, I was studying other internships (not cuz I want to leave, I love it here at IGE, but my boss wants to know what other people are saying and doing).

I was looking at the website for the Christian Coalition, and this survey popped up on the side:

What should be Governor Sarah Palin's next step?:
She Should Run for Re-election as Alaska's Governor in 2010.
She Should Run for United States Senate.
She Should Run for President in 2012.
She Should Become the Republican Party Chairman.

Disappointed that the answer I wanted, that she would not run again...ever, was not listed, I said she should run for reelection.

The Results:
She Should Run for Re-election as Alaska's Governor in 2010. 28%
She Should Run for United States Senate. 31%
She Should Run for President in 2012. 29%
She Should Become the Republican Party Chairman. 13%
Total votes: 2262

Oh boy, with that survey, there is no bad answer...
All signs point to success for Sarah!
Hmm, what are we going to do now?

Please, I need comments. I don't know what to think about this.

Concerning Concernings

Crap, I haven't been updating this. I will be sure to post WEEKLY blogs, maybe every Saturday night, or Sunday....

In short: busy, sick, tired, shut up.

Talk to you soon!

Lovecakes,

John
