Letter to Hillary

Posted in Democrats, Election 2008, Politics, tagged , , , on August 26, 2008 | 6 Comments »

Dear Hillary,

Thank you. You have once again inspired me. You will always have my support, financially and emotionally. I always thought you were the better choice and tonight you proved it once again. I’m glad that the rest of the country FINALLY got to see the class act that you are. They finally got to see the real you. Not the version of you that was demonized by the media. Not a sound byte out of context. But the real you. Strong, intelligent, capable, experienced and presidential you. The rest of the nation finally got to see the woman that so many of us have believed in and continue to believe in.

I will cast my vote for Barack Obama in November, in honor of you. And because as a true democrat I would have never voted for McCain and all that he stands for. I still believe that you belong in the White House. I know that one day you will get to the White House. I can’t wait for that day.

Love,

Eliza

School Girl Crush

Posted in Hollywood, Life, tagged , , , , , on August 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I have a crush on one of my neighbors. There are couple of cute neighbors in my building, but one in particular has a strange affect on me. Every time I see him, I turn into a complete idiot. Seriously. I don’t know what happens to me. I get frazzled and nervous. I either  don’t have anything witty to say. Or, I say something that makes him blush. Which basically means I make a sexually suggestive joke in a way that objectifies him. (Mom, if you’re reading this, yes, you heard me right. I have a dirty, dirty, mind.) Best of all, pretty much any time I see my cute neighbor I look my worst. It’s usually at the end of long work day when I’m exhausted and look tired or after the gym when I’m sweaty and and my hair is a mess. (more…)

Goodbye Hillary… See You in 2012

Now that Obama has picked his running mate, my five stage grieving process has reached its conclusion. Acceptance. My optimistic side held on to hope, despite the discouraging reality. In the end, I’m not disappointed that his running mate is Biden. I’m disappointed that it’s not Hillary Clinton running for President. The person more likely to beat McCain. Who knows, maybe I’ll be proven wrong. Maybe Obama will beat McCain. I just think that sometimes hope and reality don’t coexist. In my case, my hope for seeing Hillary Clinton in the White House could not co-exist with the reality of overt sexism and misogyny . As for Obama, the sugarcoated message of hope just doesn’t seem enough to overcome his lack of experience and the Bradley factor. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong. Maybe we will get a democrat in the White House.  I just think that’s a stronger reality in 2012.  Hillary… I’ll see you in the White House in 2012.

What Does Obama Need to Win the Election?

He needs balls. Perhaps he can borrow them from Hillary Clinton, just long enough to win a national election. For all the negative rap the Clintons got for their campaign tactics during the Democratic primaries, one thing is for certain, they know how to win elections. Between the two, the Clintons have won Presidential, Gubernatorial and Senatorial elections. They know how to play to win. And they understand that when it comes to the big game, you need to play fire with fire. You can’t use little league strategy in the major leagues. And that’s what Obama might learn the hard way. If he doesn’t start responding to McCain’s negative ads. Turns out, those ads have been pretty effective. (more…)

Thank You Stranger

Lately, my new favorite exercise has been running up and down the stairs in my neighborhood. It’s about 150 stairs through my gorgeous hillside neighborhood. On the days when I can’t make it to spinning class, or when Adam isn’t teaching, I like to go on a hike through Hollywood Hills and run the stairs. (more…)
