I haven't written here in a while, and that's a problem.

Anyway, my life recently has been pretty hectic, parties, farewells, and the inevitable, approaching move in day.
College/University starts soon,and I couldn't be more excited, but then again I'm stressing out with the money. damn, why couldn't this **** be free?



And because I can't resist, I'm going to state my Thoughts about the 2008 elections! [My picks]!

Possible Vice President: John Edwards

Highlights:Experience. Social Freedoms. [Generally] Sensible, for the middle cla+ss and "consistency".

My thoughts:
Her experience in politics puts her at the top of the heap, atleast in terms of credibility. (it also however, works in the opposite direction.)
I actually agree with most of her platform and her having already seen a presidency first hand gives her a unique perspective,
Many senior democrats seem to support her which shows her dedication to the party. She is willing to change not unrelenting, A president as a whole needs to be responsive and ready for change, a president represents a country and its people, not themselves. (in short, changing in the direction of public opinion is a quality every president(ial candidate) needs to have.)

Cons: PMS (kidding... maybe.), Too polarizing, republicans ABHOR her.(not to mention some democrats.)

Possible Vice President: Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden

Highlights: Fresh Face. Strong opinions. Actually good at public speaking.

My thoughts:
He's a freshman senator with hardly any experience, and no experience in executive positions. But that might be a good thing, he's a fresh face who honestly wants to change America for the better.. and as I've read in other places "We better get him to change the party, before the party changes him."Truer words have never been spoken. His strong opinions, means he won't "flipflop", but his overall love for democracy (and the majority rules mentality) means he probably won't go against the public opinion.

It might be better for him to wait til 2012/16.

Cons: Obama is a weird one, some of his best qualities are also his major flaws. He might be too strong willed, and too inexperienced.



Next Blog post: Al Gore, Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, Joe Biden, and Michael Bloomberg, (what, what?!)



Those I do not want to win (why may come later.):



Mitt Romney, Rudy Guiliani (he's an evil, evil man.).

I'm addicted to politics, i swear.
and indie music.
and techno.
and rock.
and ska.
and punk.
and probably lots of other things.

But, that's besides the point. i feel i've subjected you to my political rants for too long!

Therefore I am moving my political and generally non-game releated future blog entries
to the opera community. (Opera is also a great browser, i reccomend everyone use it.)
Under the name: OrangeBicycle

so ideas on where to put this blog in the mix, of course major life updates will be a given, but
should it focus on music? just games?

ideas!

when the other blog gets up and running i will of course link.
Since my old music blog at firedowndrop has been abandoned by me, this may be its replacement.

but in the true sense of my political obsession, we'll solve this with democracy! someone tell me what to do., hah.

Odd because i never really thought myself an anarchist, because i know it'll never work.

But, i do wish freedom, meant ... freedom. haha.

I've been seeing myself leaning more toward libertarian as time goes on.
the only thing i don't agree with on their platform is gun control...
