Mood swings

do we always feel the same?
do we always feel happy, or chirpy, or down in the dumps
what are the blues?
what comes to mind with red, green, yellow or PURPLE?
do we not associate a state or reaction of the mind with everything we see,hear or sense?

we are happy at some times, and sad at the others. though we wish to be in an upbeat mood all the time, what would it mean if we did not have the rock times to compare and contrast it against?
isnt the factor of change in life, the inconsistency, the relative extremes, what makes living every moment of it al the more exciting?

too many question marks for one post i think... :)
jet,set, gotta go!

Swing States

As the election heat peaks in the US of A, one can do naught but wonder about the fickle nature of democratic electorates. This election like many in the past is a dead heat. Given the random fluctuations of "mass popularity" i think every election is a dead heat. I feel every candidate has an equal chance of winning given which side of their bed the electorate wakes up on (or doesn't bother getting out of, given the turn out one sees nowadays)
these swings, from localities, to districts, to states can actually decide who heads the most powerful country in the world today... cool huh!
so get up and vote...and let your brain decide whose policies you like better, rather than what the media spin doctors try to spoon feed you through the idiot box
