Bush, celebrities attend press corps dinner

By Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — Not one, but two George Bushes showed up on Saturday night at the White House Correspondents'. Association annual dinner.
Guests in the packed Washington Hilton Hotel ballroom were definitely seeing double as the president poked fun of himself by inviting Bush impersonator Steve Bridges to be his alter-ego in a comedy speech that had the crowd of 2,600 journalists, Hollywood stars and politicos howling with laughter.

Bridges, made up to look just like Bush and standing at a podium placed right next to his, kicked off the bit by sounding just like the president — as the real Bush listened: "Here I am at another one of these dang press dinners. Could be home asleep, little Barney curled up at my feet. Nooo. I gotta pretend I like being here. Being here really ticks me off. The way they try to embarrass me by not editing what I say. Well, let's get things going so I can get to bed."... (read the rest of the article)

vices rock

these might be the death of me

quoting an idol

every word I say I mean it
every single day I feel it
but sometimes when you talk
its obvious you want to show it
so don't blow it

tell me what we got, tell me its alot, tell me its the real thing
tell me not to change, and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait, tell me that you want the same things as me
tell me that it's fate, driving me insane, tell me its the real thing
that keeps me hanging on

a couple of rants

to him: if you can only talk to me for 5 minutes thats fine. but make me feel like there is nothing else you would rather be doing than spending that 5 minutes being rivited by me and any random thing that come out of my mouth. i hate being your obligation.

to her: don't make fun of what i believe in and what i stand for. i don't point at you and laugh because of your choosen lifestyle, although it would be really easy.

its never to late

this is a conversation between me and my bestfriend.

PaulSP6: oh... jenn (his ex-girlfriend from hs) facebooked me. i kind of felt weird about it
me: you shouldn't
PaulSP6: i guess
PaulSP6: i just feel the need to apologize :-)
me: to her???
PaulSP6: yea.... i'm trying this new thing... where i apologize for things :-)
me: i don't get it
PaulSP6: i figure for me to start over... which i basically what i did moving to chicago. i should start by getting things off my conscious
me: what's on your conscience about her? that was so long ago anyway
PaulSP6: i guess. i just feel bad about adding to all the crap she was going through
me: yes...that wasn't good...but its all water under the bridge
me: ok...so where is my applogy?
PaulSP6: um...
PaulSP6: should i be sorry for something?
me: lol...no...but i liked making you squirm for just a little bit
PaulSP6: i didn't squirm
PaulSP6: i knew you were kidding
me: jerk...whatever...lol
PaulSP6: oh... i got one. i'm sorry i was gone when you were having a tough time in austin. i should have been there
me: are you really sorry? or are you just saying that?
PaulSP6: i'm really sorry.
PaulSP6: i wanted to be there
PaulSP6: i really did
me: well thank you. i don't need to forgive you though. i never was really upset at you about that.
PaulSP6: yea. i know. i just didn't realize how unhappy you were in austin till i got back from china (he spent 9 mths studying abroad)
PaulSP6: or maybe even a semester after that
me: really?
PaulSP6: yea. we didn't really get a chance to communicate too much when i was gone and we were both busy when i came back.
me: yeah...but even then...i guess i really wouldn't have talked to you about it that much anyway
PaulSP6: true
PaulSP6: ok. i'll let you get back to studying...i got to get some sleep. i didn't get into denver till 430 this morning
me: dang...well...gnight
PaulSP6: night kiddo

we have this minimalistic kind of friendship. we share this bond that we don't talk about. we tease about how much we drive each other crazy but in reality i would do just about anything for him, as i know he would do for me. we don't have to talk about how much we care for each other, that would be just plain weird anyway, but we know its there. i love him like a brother. but i'll never tell him that.
