Day 327: Home.

 

November 23rd, 2011Work at EHS, where my boss let me go home two hours early.
Met up with Geetha and Bee-John at Price Center.
Went to Island’s with the two of them, where I made the spontaneous decision to go home.
Went home to pack.
Went to Geetha’s place to hang out.
Bee-John and one of his roommates drove to come pick me up.
Landed in Garden Grove. Snapped picture of the day. Went home to find out someone died on our couch last night & that whole family is going to Vegas without me (minus Mom/Dad).

On November 23, 1936, the first issue of the pictorial magazine Life is published, featuring a cover photo of the Fort Peck Dam by Margaret Bourke-White. Life actually had its start earlier in the 20th century as a different kind of magazine: a weekly humor publication, not unlike today’s The New Yorker in its use of tart cartoons, humorous pieces and cultural reporting. When the original Life folded during the Great Depression, the influential American publisher Henry Luce bought the name and re-launched the magazine as a picture-based periodical on this day in 1936. By this time, Luce had already enjoyed great success as the publisher of Time, a weekly news magazine. I USED TO READ THAT!!!

Presidential hopeful Ron Paul says his rivals’ militant stances on “the defense of liberty” would make it difficult for him to support any of them for president should he not get the Republican nomination, because their positions would lead to bigger government. But the Texas congressman also told Fox News’ Neal Cavuto Wednesday that despite these concerns, he probably would not run as a third-party candidate. “I would have trouble with what I heard last night because it is almost opposite of the defense of liberty that I’m talking about,” Paul told Cavuto, referring to Tuesday night’s presidential debate. “I mean, the Republican Party is supposed to be a party, you know, of defining small government — but when it came to the civil liberties, and the Patriot Act, and the invasion of privacy, and the Fourth Amendment — all these things — they wanted more government. GAHHH STUPID REPUBLICANS.
