I don’t understand why Napster and Imadge had to go on discussing politics. I understand that this is an election year. It’s bad enough that I have to listen and read about the Veepstakes (as in who will be the running mate of Barack Obama and John McCain); and now I have to live with two highly opinionated people when it comes to politics.

The funny part is that if I was still home in San Francisco, politics will be an everyday discussion in the dinner table. My mother, the staunch Democrat and my father, who votes with his pocketbook, making him a Republican; I guess politics really make strange bedfellows.

So, hearing Napster and Imadge discuss politics all the time makes this apartment home feel ‘truly a home’ for me. There is a difference though; both Napster and Imadge expect me to have an opinion while my parents believe that I am too young to be even interested in politics.

Yes, my parents are right to a certain degree. I am not really interested because I am apolitical. I cannot imagine myself to be a card carrying Republican or Democrat. Still, I see Napster’s point of view that though all of us are young, we should take part in the democratic process because it is our country and whoever sits at the White House will affect our lives for a very long time, even after that person is no longer in office.

So, here I am, trying to be politically aware, reading up on what is going on. But, all I could think of is the new iPhone that I want so bad, but cannot have because I promised my parents that I will keep my current iPhone for at least two years if they got me one! Arghhhhhh… I should have not made that promise. Did they know something I did not?

Maybe, I can get a different phone, like the LG Voyager Black Phone that they are advertising. I get a new phone and will not break my promise to my parents. But, Imadge said that it is cheating and unethical. She’s right of course. Darn… why does Imadge have to be right all the time!

Napster has a different opinion though. He says that Steve Jobs had truly sold Apple as the chicest of the chic and the coolest of the cool to everyone that no matter how expensive or overrated product might be; we will always buy it.

Oh well, though I don’t think Napster is right, he also has a point because look at me coveting the new iPhone 3G simply because it is out in the market already.
