What a wierd week to start blogging again. Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died today. I’m laying out in my hammock in the yard and a car just drive by playing the Jackson 5′s “I Want You Back”. I can’t even begin to say how odd it is and how sad it [...]

The stupid WordPress app for the iPhone needs landscape mode. What is wrong with them?
Anyhow, I rode my bike to the bus stop for the first time of the year this morning. I can’t believe how tired that made me. I’m pooped and I only traveled about 3/4 of a mile. It’s amazing how [...]

No on Prop 8
Same-sex marriage is currently legal in the state of California. Not surprisingly, there is a ballot initiative (Proposition 8, for those outside Cali) up for vote this election that would overturn this hard-fought and newly-granted equality.

Are You Registered To Vote?

Substance (Part 1)
A recent post I made in which I recommended we all get off our asses and do whatever we can to get Obama elected provoked a response from a commenter named Andy (Hi Andy!) who suggested that I was a “nothing more than a blindly faithful Obama supporter who is full of hate”. Now, admittedly, [...]

Fear
For the first time in the last year I honestly believe there is a chance that Barack Obama will not be the next president of the United States and it scares me.
John McCain may be a cantankerous, dangerous, clueless, hypocritical liar, but when his political strategists decided to bring Palin in he benefited big time. [...]
Hope
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills. – Buddha
Last night I watched Barack Obama officially accept the nomination of the Democratic Party for [...]
