I don't normally do this but.

I'm sick of politics. Done. Kaput. Fin. Oh I'll vote, not that it'll matter (the electoral college will take care of actually electing the new president), I'm going to vote mainly so I can complain.

First let me say that I love this country. If asked I would die for it.

Now why am I on this rant? Well, while in D.C. I picked up a copy of our constitution. Noe I've had copies of it before but never actually read it. Well now that I have WOW! Where have we gone! I mean the judicial system is making laws, the senate is basically just taking care of themselves (you know not really doing stuff just giving each other raises yada yada yada), oh and the Executive branch is pretty much running the show.

I'm just done. All this He said she said B.S. is really starting to piss me off.

Here's my solution to the whole election thing and probably a lot of other things too.....

Abolish the electoral college and give the open positions to people straight out of the phone book. In other words the COMMON MAN. You know the guy who just works all day and worries about things like feeding they're families, and getting health care for their kids. Not treated like gold, people of power and money.

So yeah I'll vote but like I said, only so I can continue to complain. As for who I'll vote for.... I haven't really made up my mind yet....

Long time No type

Lots have happened since last I've blogged. We went to Virginia on vacation. It was nice we went to Washington D.C., got to see the White House, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the WWII Memorial. We also got to go to Jamestown, the first English settlement in America. The highlight for me was going to the National Air and Space museum. I got to see the Space Shuttle Enterprise! It's a lot bigger than it looks.


Let's see I got a new bike. It's a full suspension mountain bike, a mongoose. I'm trying to get the gear to stop making noise as I pedal. I'm going to start riding to work again. It's fun. Plus I really do need to lose some weight.

I've also started writing a comic book. Hopefully the first of many.

Hmmm.... Oh and I've gotten into papercrafting. Basicly it's model making where you print off the models on the computer and put them together. I'm working on a Samus Aran model. The bounty hunter in the video game Metroid.

Well just a quick update for now.

Goodnight!
