Day One. Just Thoughts...


Welcome to the chaos that is my mind (hahahaha). It is a new semester and I'm excited about taking this blog in a whole different direction for this class. New ideas. New Sources. New Angles. Yeah! Okay that's too much excitement, but you got the idea.

So I started posting a few things that peaked my interest recently but I haven't gotten a chance to really think about them. Lately I have been thinking about the global perspective on American issues. Like how the election of President Obama has affected the rest of the world. Or what the world thinks about the American debate over universal health care. Basically, how are our issues being presented and what kind of reactions are out there.

I'm also interested in the whole Palin thing. She's obviously not going away but I just love how Fox and other media outlets have almost legitimized her name. It's crazy. I want to follow her and I'm sure the rest of the country will be as well. It's not like they have a choice. Honestly I see a presidential run in her future and frankly I'm scarred.

But back to the point, I want to follow some more international, non-American based outlets of news. I'm going abroad next year and I think getting a more non-America centrist perspective would enrich my experience. Not to mention, that CNN is really pissing me off these days. But I digress.Lets talk about how the Haiti relief effort is being covered since it's the biggest and saddest headliner as of recent. Or the recent Massachusetts election and what that means for Obama's health care bill. But all that will come in due time I guess. Stay tuned.
