ok so Pam, Rowell, Lindsey and I along with some other friends went down to New Brunswick to check out the acceptance speech of Barack Obama with the NJ Young Democrats. It was a fun night talking to other Democrats who are enthused about this election and hopeful for a new direction-one we haven't seen in this country (domestically at least if nothing more). Comments on his speech:
1. I'm still waiting to hear exactly what the change will actually be, because like Rowell stated (at the diner afterwards) the politicians are all pretty Right of center when it comes to foreign policy-I totally agree.
2. I think Obama spoke incredibly well and really enthused the crowd.
3. He attacked McCain but did it in a very subtle way most times (even in direct attacks). His sarcasm had me laughing a lot...and I agreed with some of the stuff he spoke about when using sarcasm!
NOW for the really funny stuff. We met some really cool people while we were down there. So we decided to go to a Diner after the watch party. Pam, Katerina, and Sham ditched out-Pam had to get to work in the morning and Sham came after a long's day at work. (not sure about Katerina but she was driving so...). Anyways, Ronen, Rowell, Lindsey and me along with a new friend-Emily decided to hit the diner. Rowell and Ronen go to get their cars....Ronen comes back while Rowell is calling to tell us he can't find his car. So we jump into Ronen's car and drives Rowell to his (well, to the corner since it was a 1-way and a no left turn...) since I still remembered where he parked. We got his GPS and searched for diners. Rowell decided to jump in Ronen's car while Emily is following behind. We make the first right turn (following the GPS) when Rowell figured out he left his car running. Ronen stops the car and Rowell runs back to his car-the diner is close by so Rowell plans on meeting us at the diner-he'll walk over. So we made the next right turn-again following the GPS. Then at the next corner we make another Right turn. Now the street we're approaching is a 1-way and we must turn. So the GPS instructs to make the right. (If you've noticed we made a complete circle) So I think it was Lindsey that asked, "Did we just make a circle?" so I'm looking at the landmarks and I'm said, "yea." The diner was on the corner right behind us the entire time! so this leaves us with 2 incredibly funny stories: 1. Rowell left his car running, parked on the street of New Brunswick while getting into another car.
2. Rowell's GPS sucks! All it had to say was "Park your car and walk, it's right behind you!!!!"
End story, Ronen went back home without the diner trip and the 3 of us returned to the Kean area and hit Tropicana. I ordered way too much food which was honestly rediculous but I was really hungry. Unfortunately, the food i ordered was greecy and that didn't work too well with me....
3rd funny story, we get back to Kean for Lindsey to get her car and Rowell continued to drop me home. Lindsey calls right as soon as I get out of the car to ask me the best question ever: "Are there still people at the toll booths on the parkway at this time?" (this is about 2AM....but DUH!!!
the night was hilarious-this is the Kean Democrats people!!!! We're fun loving goofballs!!!!! so if you're interested in seeing how stupid we can be at times (we still know how to get down to business when that time comes!!!! don't get me wrong), please check us out on Tuesdays at 3:30!!!! We enjoy laughing at ourselves!!!!
