One of my best friends in the world Ashley Rogers started a blog after her boyfriend did so I thought I would jump on the bandwaggon and start one as well. I guess I'll use this blog as a supplement to facebook so my friends and family can have a better idea of how my life is going. Almost two weeks ago I moved to Council Bluffs, IA to work on the 2010 midterm election for the Democratic Party. I'm a field organizer which means I spend most of my day bugging the hell out of voters to see who they're voting for. It's not glamorous work but it's damn important. Here are a few of the highlights from my short time on the ground.
1. I got lost in Omaha Nebraska after getting lunch for the office from a restaurant named Barleys. It took me almost an hour to get back to HQ when I could have gone to their other location 2 minutes away from me. Epic Fail!
2. While canvassing (going door to door to see who people are voting for) I saw 3 deer just chilling in someone's yard. We became friends.
3. I have an intern who is great. She may or may not have been a guest on the Ellen Degeneres show, I'm still investigating.
4. I called Farrah's mom from MTV's Teen Mom. She's a registered Democrat but doesn't realize it and hung up on me!
5. I talked to a homeless guy outside our office this morning who had a bag of soda cans and was drinking a Busch Light at 8:30 in the morning. He was homeless most likely and kept drooling on himself. It would have been humorous if it wasn't so incredibly sad.
That's all I have for now. I'll keep everyone in the loop. Until next time. All the best.
