Maybe it is a Good Day

Iron Man, Batman: The Dark Knight, Incredible Hulk, Wanted, Hellboy II, it's good to be a N.E.R.D.

WTF?

When it comes to the presidential campaigns, I am always amazed by two things:

1) The promises made.
2) The shock when those "promises" are broken.

The dark side of democracy, something that we as citizens usually try not to dwell on, it that the race for the most powerful position in the government is a popularity contest. It is a race between the nerd with great ideas and the captain of the football team who might hang with you. While this may seem logical (wha?) we keep thinking that no one can pull the wool over our eyes.

And then we got eight years of Bush.

I am not even going to bother with the opposing view. They are so mainstream right now I wonder where all these people were two terms ago. But as a citizen I have to accept responsibility for my president's actions, as we all should do. Of course I said should, because the other bit of democracy is the ability to shift blame at will and wash our hands. But after eight years I don't think we can be that blind anymore. The race between McCain and Obama will be a tough one and I have to hope that we the people will do our damn duty and pick the right guy. I refuse to let this country go down the tubes because we made an "oopsy". So research the candidates, find out where they stand, and register to vote your informed decision. Because if I hear one more person say "Well, how was I to know" I will beat them down. Verbally, with lots of cuss words.

Games vs. Relationships

I like games. I like women. In a contest, women usually win every time. So why is it that I see these shows where guys are dragged onto shows and made to admit to an "addiction". Seriously, a balance can be had. A game can be continued at any time. Quality time spent with your woman is fleeting. So when it comes to a choice between "awesome game x" and your girl, please, just take your girl out. Otherwise, I will pounce. I am out there, and I am always watching.

The Truth..........
............................ is that I know an awesome girl called E who made my life a lot better, and I met her by chance. If you want a destiny, create it for yourself.
