America: Land of the panicky children

Has everyone heard about the "bomb scare" in Boston today?

Battery LED signs advertising for "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" on Adult Swim were mistakenly thought to be bombs. These were small signs showing an alien figure giving people "the finger!" Are we that scared in this country, that everytime we see a device made with wires and batteries that we're going to automatically assume it's a bomb?

Thanks to President Bush and his administration trying to brow-beat Americans into being scared silly that terrorists are around every corner, we've become a laughing-stock. Would a terrorist really be stupid enough to make a bomb that looked so strange and out of the ordinary? Or would a terrorist design a bomb that would look like something that no one would look at twice? I think it would be the second option. People in this country need to get their heads out of their collective asses and start remembering what it's like to live without looking over their shoulder every five minutes thinking they're about to be killed.

State of the Union

Tonight will be Bush's sixth State of the Union address, and expect more of the same...

...more lies about how our economy is strengthening...

...more lies about how increasing troops in Iraq will strengthen democracy there...

...more lies about how making health insurance taxable will help lower income Americans...

...more lies, lies, lies, lies etc...

Bush's administration has been based on nothing but lies, and that's all we can expect from him. So don't think having a Democratically controlled Congress and Senate makes any difference. Bush doesn't care what they think or do, anymore than he cares about what 63% of Americans think of his polocies. It doesn't matter what the "majority" of this country wants...he's only going to do whatever it takes to insure his legacy...whatever the HELL that is!!

STOP THE PRESSES!!

It has just been announced that George R. R. Martin, author of the fantasy series "A song of Ice & Fire" has signed a deal with HBO to bring his acclaimed series of books to life as a dramatic series!

Each book in the series will be broken down into individual episodes that will make up an entire season. The first season will be based on the first book, "A game of thrones."

Television will once again have meaning!!!

President Bush's "new strategy", AGAIN!

Tonight, President Bush will address the nation on his "new strategy" for the war in Iraq. Of course the gist of what he's going to say has already been know for quite some time. 20,000 more boys and girls from the U.S. being put on the line to die.

Of course, our brave Democrats that we put into office late last year are putting together a "non-binding resolution" saying that they oppose a surge in U.S. troops in Iraq. What they're actually saying is, "We don't like what you're doing, but we're not going to stop you." What cowards...step up to the plate and tell the President "NO, no more troops going into Iraq!" If 140,000 troops, with the most advanced weapons available to wage war with can't stop the violence in Iraq, what good are 20,000 more troops going to do? None!

The problem is, it's OUR presence in Iraq that's causing 90% of the violence that's going on. Because we've put the minority religious sect in charge of the country. Watch over the next few months as the violence in Iraq continues to increase, and our casualties continue to increase as well.

President Bush says that, "leaving Iraq in defeat is not an option." What he's actually saying is, "leaving Iraq in defeat under MY administration is not an option." Here's what's going to happen. Bush is going to drag this war on throughout the rest of his tenure as President, leaving a huge mess for whoever follows him to clean up. When THAT President pulls U.S. troops out of Iraq, Bush will point his finger at THAT administration and say "look, they've bungled the war in Iraq, and humiliated the U.S.!" Don't think we're all blind Mr. President! You just think if we're still embroiled in Iraq when you leave office, that no one can say YOU lost the war! Well, we see you for what you are, and we are ashamed!

Anyone can start a war...It takes a man of character and courage to end a war.

Mr. Bush, that is not you...

A conversation with myself today...

Today, I wasn't feeling right, and was doodling on some paper while at work. I started writing down what I was thinking and wound up having a conversation with myself (as crazy as that sounds). Here it is from beginning to end;

Tired

I am unhappy...

I love my wife.
I love my son.
I have a good home.

Why am I unhappy?

I tolerate my job.
I tolerate my co-workers.
I tolerate my place in life.

What is my place in life?

I don't know...

I hate that I don't know what I'm supposed to do with my life!

I hate that everything I seem to do seems to be for nothing!

I hate that time keeps passing regardless of the fact that I seem to only spin my wheels!

I'm depressed...

Why?

Because life has no meaning.

What does life mean to me?

Work to make money...

Why?

Spend money to have home, food and some extras.

Is this enough?

No

If no, where do I find more meaning to life?

Religion?

NO!!

Community involvement?

Probably not...

Self-improvement?

How?

Use a talent maybe?

Writing, drawing, computer modeling...

I want people to see the visions in my head!!!!! (as scary as that is)

Work on self-improvement in all these areas so I can get my message and vision out there. That's why I started blogging...now I just need my own original content out there!

Self-improvement = Happiness


Sometimes I think it just helps to write your own thoughts down, even a conversation with yourself, it gives you a chance to really look deep inside and get more focus on what's going on inside.

Peace out!

Mail tampering

In case you're not aware of it...recently, George Bush signed into law that the U.S. government now has the right to warrantless searches of any U.S. citizens first class mail! The government would now have the right to open and read anything you send through the mail without having a reason, or obtaining a warrant. All on the pretext of protecting this country against terrorists.

Now I ask the question, how is opening a letter from John Q. Public to his mother across the country going to protect us from terrorists? This is a blatant invasion of privacy that the citizens of this country need to address immediately. Write or call your congressman today and demand that action be taken to stop this incursion of our civil liberties.

A gift for the new year

Here's a gift for the new year. One of my "resolutions" has been to try and goad my creativity back into life. I sat down tonight and created this original wallpaper. So put it up on your computer and maybe I'll make you smile today!
