Today, I was at a rally to march and "Join Arnold" in supporting the Recall of Davis. I've been to one rally before and it wasn't nearly as big as the one for Arnold. Mom, who has been to several rallies in the past, said the same thing. The rally began at noon and Arnold didn't get there until 1:00. It was all exciting; lots of people milling about while a a band played and there were, children performing. Lots of signs bobbing and a ton of media runnin' around. Certainly, the motivation for change was everywhere.
Dee Snider of Twisted Sister was on hand to perform "We're not Going to Take it," the theme song for Arnold's campaign. It's a great song for his campaign; I was totally jazzed by it and so was everyone standing around me.
Of course, there were folks there protesting the rally, but really, nothing could take away from the motivation and excitement the crowd was feeling.
Afterwards, mom and I went to a late lunch and had some Chinese food. It was obvious where we had been since we didn't remove the rally paraphernalia from our clothes; stickers and pins. After the young girl took our order, she asked, while motioning to the pin on mom's shirt, "You like him?"
"Oh yes!" Mom says. "Are you gonna vote for him on Tuesday?"
The young waitress giggled, "I don't know," she said and then walked away.
"Mom," I say. "it's not polite to ask someone who they're going to vote for."
"Why not?" Mom replies. "If they don't want to tell me, it's no big deal. I'm just making conversation."
Anyway, after our late lunch, I dropped mom off and then drove home. After I drank a glass of water, I crashed on the couch for about 2 hours. I was dreaming I was running for my life from Bruce Willis while Richard Gere was running beside me yelling, "Hurry! We're almost there!"
That's what I get for falling asleep with the tv on; "The Jackal" was playing.
After dinner of leftover Chinese food, I watched a biography on Clint Eastwood, which I enjoyed. Being aired at the same time was The Actors Studio with James Lipton and the special guest was Clint Eastwood. So I was going back and forth between the two stations enjoying myself as I learned more about Clint Eastwood, a person that I've always liked and admired.
Until next time,
Hasta la vista, baby
