so McCain chose a woman as his running mate. OOOOOHHH scandalous. i think the women are still trying to take over, theyre probably gonna assassinate mccain.
but seriously, first black prez or first woman VP? seriously, McCain's just trying to win Hillary's supporters. I really hope hill comes out in support of her party.

IOUSA
so, the nation is in debt. deep debt. thats no news, really. inflations gonna REALLY kick in soon. i havent seen I.O.U.S.A. but i sure plan on it.
but what if IM not in debt? ive managed to make more money off my credit card than what i pay them (thank you mr blakeman for teaching me that) (and my credit card company probably hates me for it)
will it simply mean ill just have less than average debt in the future? or will i be able to sustain my current spending habits?
lincoln lands about breaking the bank. i put my tuition on my credit card this time. the money all comes out of checking anyway, but with it on there, i get rewards points. but i seriously only have enough saved up (in regular savings, ive got my $8k "college fund" thats going to sit indefinitely) for one more semester, if that. so that means my after graduation options are limited.
i can:
1. take a loan and go to westwood in denver for 2 years (4k for tuition, not sure on housing)
2. take just a class or two a semester at llcc for job development purposes
3. not go to school
#3 would definitely be the cheapest, but either of the second two, id be off insurance (well maybe not till the next year, when it rolls over) and regardless id probably not be living at home anymore. i know the best apartments to go to now (kensington place behind qwik n ez, and chatham crossing) so thatll be the easy part.

something strange
occasionally when im high, and sitting down, i get a strange distant feeling between my head and my hands. like there is a larger than average space between them. it makes me feel like i am extremely long. i think its the same type of feeling you supposedly get when you do stuff like astral projection. and im really not even that high.

whos the right man for president?
Obama is similar to which following former leader:
1- Adolf Hitler
2- Benito Mussolini
3- Francisco Franco
4-Joseph Stalin
5- All of the Above
Answer: 5- All of the Above.
Dont get me wrong, im likely going to vote for obama. But he does offer quite the "message of hope" that these leaders have. I got that little question from a post on facebook, heres the rest of it:
but the real question is: what is the right way to fix our current situation?
i first started thinking about that in my com 112 class this summer. really, isnt there a right answer to this? one person could make, the other could break our economy, world affairs situation, education system etc.
everyone will say something different. yet we all feel about the same when it comes to the economy.
they say we cant administer tests to determine voting capability, but just as an experiment, id like to see how politically tuned-in each candidates voters are. perhaps a post-voting awareness poll right in the machines. I dont think id be surprised to see the results of america as a whole. after all, its really just hair politics. I personally think obamas chance of success will come down to how much of the youth vote turns out on election day. his motto "yes we can" could easily turn into a voter motivator in a climate where most think their vote doesnt count. well people, your vote cant be counted if it isnt cast.

Show me a politician who has implemented the same type of repetitive meaningless rhetoric, use of media outlets, and focus on youth that Obama has, and when you cant, think of whom he resembles most...yeah, so.. its still down to obama or mccain, we do still get to choose (so some of us like to think. I believe in the power of the people.) and what we really need to focus on is the issues. yeah, click that, i fuckin love politicalbase.

global warming? or general human fuck-uppery?
I ran across this article in the NY Times, about how due to effects of commercial fishing, chemical runoff, etc. large nitrogen-rich "dead zones" have been popping up in oceans around the world. these kill off large populations of marine life, and often appear in spots that are historically prime fishing areas.
This goes back to the sister star theory.. I believe that this along with industrialization are the cause of "global warming," which at this point i doubt we can do much about.
i really hate humans as a species. it was our evolutionary advantage to use tools, to invent new things, new ways to survive. and thus we live today, not explicitly through "survival of the fittest" as all other animals do, but by technological sustainment. fuck industrialization. but what can we do? although they have a lesser impact on the environment, countries/cultures that are not as developed have higher poverty, are more susceptible to natural disaster (although developed nations incur a greater financial loss) and often suffer from starvation.
so since they dont destroy the environments, we take it upon ourselves to do so.
whatever happens in 2012, and beyond, i hope we adapt biologically. EVOLVE.. or hey, even better, like the ron paul campaign (though im not a supporter) [EVOL]VE. because even today, evolution happens.

why some people shouldnt vote; and my dark side of the moon theory
So I was talking to wes last night, about the election, and he told me he doesn't vote. Not in the 04 election, not for the lesser government offices. I told him hes voting in this election, because im hardcore about that. He said hes not too much into politics, and doesnt really follow the issues. He then went on to tell me he wanted Bush to get reelected because... get this "hes got those sticking out ears, and kinda a baby face.. i think hes cute!" asgfdfbniosubdvdsoreovbnadb. I told him he shouldnt vote.

theory: that a weapon or base could be established on the dark side of the moon in secret.
i was toying around with this idea.. i figured it was possible, since theres a dark side of the moon that we dont see, something like a laser or military base could be built without our knowledge. though they would have to turn the lights out, if any, when that side was facing the earth.
of course, i go to wikipedia to verify my theory, and learned about the far side of the moon (often mistaken as the "dark side of the moon" actually the whole moon gets illuminated, but only one side faces the earth) which is even better because it would never be pointing towards earth. however, they have considered putting a radio telescope on that side, but several factors prevent that from happening. yeah, theyre thinking of research, and im thinking of the militarization of space..
