How I Spent My Winter Vacation

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Although vacations are notorious for accomplishing absolutely nothing, there were some things that I learned while being “gone” for the last week or so.  Here they are.

1. The people who are still trying to prove Barack Obama is not eligible to be President have way too much time on their hands.
2. You know your future in-laws are cool when they get you alcohol as a Christmas gift.
3. There is very little on television worth watching during the middle of the day.
4. Althought it’s alright to sleep past 8 a.m., it’s even better to stay out past midnight.
5. It totally rocks to wake up everyday and have your breakfast and coffee waiting for you.
6. Pizza with bacon and goat cheese is the best.
7. Every once in a while you need to get together with all your political, media and governmental friends and enjoy each other’s company.  (Off the record, of course.)
8. There is still too much government in Indiana.
9. If you leave town to visit your parents, try not to do it with tornado watches and thunderstorm warnings.
10. You know you have a cool job when you don’t mind going back after being gone for a few days.
