You are undecided about who you will be voting for on the 4th? Are you a fucking moron? This election cycle feels like it has lasted about 4 years. We have all been bombarded with the issues. We have heard both Obama and McCain go over their positions over and over again. Their are really no surprises where each stands. How can you be undecided about who you will vote for? One is pro life, one is pro choice. Clear cut. One is for universal health care, one isn't. Clear cut. One likes war, one doesn't. Pick a side! I am starting to agree more and more with my one friend who suggested IQ tests for anybody wanting to vote. If you are below a certain level, you will not be allowed to vote, because you are stupid.

Have you noticed anything strange lately about television? I have. But I couldn't figure out what. It wasn't that there were political commercials on every commercial break. Obama commercial, followed by McCain commercial, followed by local political commercial and then back to the show. It's not that, that's too easy to notice. Then I realized. It's what was NOT on TV that was making me have to think. The pharmaceutical commercials. I am so sick of the political commercials now that I almost hate to say that I can't wait for the drug dealers to be back on TV and a sense of normalcy to be returned. I want to see what the latest drugs are and what they have found they can fix in the past 6 weeks since the political commercials started running non-stop.

I found this great lecture from Elizabeth Warren. She teaches several classes on contract law, bankruptcy, and commercial law at Harvard Law School and is a critic of America's credit economy. I found her research on consumer spending from the 70's fascinating since I too was under the impression we spend more on certain consumer items than we did in the past.

I have the utmost respect and sympathy for John McCain's time spent as a POW in Vietnam. I truly do. I would never in my life want to endure what he may have gone through. I don't know the details, just know he was a prisoner. For all I know he could have been treated humanely, or, he could have been treated like a Guantanamo detainee. Regardless, I would never downplay time spent as a prisoner of war.

Every Tuesday, my pre wife (fiance) and I go to my parents house for dinner and a night of watching mindless reality TV shows. Currently we watch America's got talent. Basically a show where people who don't really have any talent, aka David Hasselhoff, critique contestants on their talents. The final say however is in "America's Hands". This posting isn't about "America's Got Talent". It's about David Hasselhoff! It's about how David Hasselhoff is an annoying evil robot. Lets go over some math equations to prove my point.

I just got back from Denver and witnessed something amazing. The mountains received over 6 inches of snow in August! It snowed enough to temporarily close Loveland pass in August. I don't live in Denver but suspect that snow in August never happens.

Technorati Profile

We got to see and touch the snow first hand when we drove up to Mt. Evans. Mt. Evans is the highest paved road in North America and at it's highest point comes in at 14,264 feet above sea level. Driving up Mt Evans is a bit scary at first, since there are no guard rails and any wrong move in a car will send you tumbling over cliffs to your death.

Here are a couple of photos from August 8, 2008 on Mt Evans

The year was 2002. It was the winter. I got one of those strange feelings inside, you know that feeling you get once in a while that says "go buy a hamster". Yea, well I woke up with that feeling and decided I should listen to my gut instincts. Perhaps God was relaying a message to me because that hamster would somehow play an integral role in saving my life. Maybe someone would break into my house in the middle of the night, and the hamster would see this thief and begin running its little heart out on the hamster wheel in an effort to signal to me that my life was in danger. A hamster wheel burglar alarm. I could put a sign up in my front yard that says my home is protected by a hamster wheel.

For you non nerds, an avatar is a digital representation of yourself. I have never gotten around to making one for myself, but decided to after going to the following website.

Don't be fooled by all of the "make money online" claims you see littering the inter webs. If they truly worked, why would the sellers of these techniques and products want you to make "millions" of dollars. Why aren't they keeping these ideas for themselves, and making the millions of dollars they claim can be made. All normal people making millions of dollars doing something would keep the real money making secrets to themselves. The reason people are selling you money making secrets and tools to make you money is because there really is not money to be made anymore. The only money being made is by selling you information and tools to help you make your millions.
