Wish List!

Yea I know this is lame, but people keep asking so here. Oh yea,I'm not some greedy jerk, I was just trying to think of stuff I would want.

1. First and foremost, whoever you are, I want a card from you. You can make the card so you don't even spend at all. Also, write in the whole thing. See, you don't need money to give someone something, a card is all it takes.
2.Dark Knight Special Edition DVD...enough said man.
3.Street Fighter Tribute Art Book. I am a huge Street Fighter nerd so the art book would be great.
4. Iron Man Special Edition DVD, another great action movie.
5. Wall-e Special Edition DVD
6. Any volume of Animaniacs on DVD.
7.No More Heroes for the Nintendo Wii
8. Okami for the Nintendo Wii
9. Gift Cards to Target yay!


Ok, that's enough crap,again, a well written card is cool to me, its the thought that counts!

Some Election Thoughts

Let me give a disclaimer: I believe this is not a well-written piece. I just wanted to write the raw emotions I feel as I have seen and continue to see the varying responses on both sides of the political spectrum.

I haven’t written in this thing for a damn while, but I feel it is needed. First off, I want to congratulate Mr. Barack Obama for winning this election. Whether you support him or not, he ran a good election. I know individuals with varying opinions, but we all need to face that he is going to be our president these next four years. Now, I was not a true supporter of the man, but I do not want to see him fail. Yes, he definitely needs to prove himself and if it is officially proven he was all talk like many believe: there is every right to call him on his shit (forgive the profanity) and elect a new leader in four years. Now, as American’s we have the right to express our dislike (or as I have seen: outright hatred on both sides) for a leader, but I believe we should and need to respect our new leader. Let’s pray and as a country try to work for the best and not wish for complete failure of the next president. This applies to everyone, even those who would have been irate if McCain would have won. I found it ridiculous that some individuals were going to wear black if McCain won, or who would want his presidency to fail if elected.

Speaking of John McCain, he gave a great concession speech and I wish I would have seen more of that type of John McCain during the campaign. Again, whether you liked him or not, he ran the best he could and I want to see Mr. McCain continue his fine work in the Senate as he is more bipartisan than most people think and really does vote and work for what he believes in.

Yes, this post has been all over the place, but let me add a few more thoughts.

No, I do not believe Obama is a Messiah or that he truly brings change. Yes, it is change from the soon to be past presidency but his policy ideas are mostly repackaged Democrat party policies.That being said: let’s not want and wish for the man’s downfall. Let’s hope (man people on the Right must despise that word by now) he can truly walk the walk and get something done that will help this country and not hinder it.

Finally, I hope the Republican Party can retool itself and become the Party of Reagan again. To different people they can either cheer or jeer that mindset, but I honestly like seeing the government divided as in one party controlling Congress while the other party controls the White House. It is probably is a bias due to my upbringing, but I did not mind the Clinton years. It could be due to be being very young or because my mom is a liberal individual who helped shape some of my opinions but definitely not all. The point I’m getting at with this is to me, it was good to have a Republican Congress for most of Clinton’s years in office. Again, this can be taken as rambling and one can bring up our recent Congress where nothing has gotten done but I still favor a divided government so I so not want to see the death of either party, and want to see the Republican Party be revamped and become stronger and change how it is ran.

Well, I think I said all I had to. Even as a Political Science Major, I do not know everything and as anyone, has a lot to learn, but this is my perspective. I hope we can be more civil to each other.
