2008

Clinton and Obama are still neck in neck. What I think is kind of funny is that they aren’t neck in neck because there wasn’t a white man to take the majority of the votes, even when there was one these two minority candidates were still the front runners of the Democratic party. I am not saying that they are minorities to offend anyone, but if they were in the majority then there would have been a woman or a black president before now.

They are in a dead heat because they aren’t what you expect a president to be. Hillary can be a bit robot like, much like the presidents that have come before her, but she is still different in that she’s a woman. I think Obama is the first real different presidential candidate. I mean he speaks like he could be your friend and not just your president. He is a real person and I think that is what appeals to people.

They are both change in the most superficial way possible, and with the superficial, hopefully if one of them wins then deeper change will come. I throw my support behind Obama, that is who I voted for yesterday and that is who I will continue to endorse.

To some people who know me this can come as quite a shock. I wouldn’t say I would be racist, but I think I am about as racist as any white man who grew up in white neighborhoods, change scares people. Color of skin is a big thing to most people, it doesn’t mean they are racist, it just means they aren’t used to it. I support Obama because he can get us Universal Healthcare, because I believe in order to help the poor it is better to have been poor. I am not saying that Clinton would do a bad job, I just think that Obama would do better. Vote for Obama.

Krissy is getting more and more comfortable with driving, and she has been started looking at potential cars. She doesn’t want a new car, but a used one just because she is learning how to drive. She has been checking out Car Prices just to get an idea of what she can afford, how many miles she can expect it to have, that kind of thing. After she gets her license I am sure she will be buying one.

Super Tuesday is over, but there are still plenty more states that could decide the outcome of the democratic party. Hillary is only about 100 points ahead of Obama so if you are an Obama fan then I urge you to get out and vote for him. If you are a Hillary fan, stay home relax and chill. Let the other Hillary fans vote for you. Come on Barack fans, stand up and be heard. Obama in ’09.

Krissy is trying to get a job where the pay is really good. If she can get the job then we will be able to look into Mortgages and possibly buy a house a lot sooner than we had thought. I mean so far we were just looking for apartments, but a mortgage might be better, this way we have roots and can do what we want to the place and not have to settle for apartment living. Plus living in an apartment you tend to lose money. Right now I have been looking at the free financial advice that places offer and if she gets the job then we will definitely be able to afford a mortgage, according to them at least.

I have gotten speeding tickets in the past. A lot of times that I was pulled over for speeding I was either able to give a PBA card or just simply talk my way out of it. When that didn’t work I went to court and fought it, just so I wouldn’t have any points on my license. I haven’t gotten a ticket of any kind in a few years now, but just in case I do I am reading up on how to fight a speeding ticket, just in case I ever get another one again. I most likely will, just because I like to go faster than the speed limit, especially on a highway where the speed limit is 35 miles an hour.

The WGA and Marvel solved their dispute a few weeks ago, and why shouldn’t they? The comic book industry is half writers and the other half are illustrators, so it makes sense that they would be the first ones to settle their differences. Since then it has been reported that the Venom spinoff movie is moving along nicely. I can’t wait for it, but I hope they make some much needed changes in the movie that should have been in Spiderman 3.

First he needs to have the tongue. That is partly what makes Venom, Venom. Secondly, if Spiderman is in the movie then have it explain how Venom can fight him without being sensed, and why he has all the powers of Spiderman.

They should continue the story after Spiderman 3 and not start over. Maybe right before the explosion Venom swung off, maybe Brock Eddie Brock Jr. is dead, but Eddie Brock Sr. gets the symbiote (a stretch I know), but don’t have it start over. I think it would be cool to see maybe Iron Man show up and use some sonar on him like he did in the cartoon.

In any case, I am anxiously awaiting this movie.

Identity theft in America seems to be getting worse, not better. Everyday people get their identities stolen and they may end up owing companies thousands of dollars for purchases they never made. With lifelock you could give people your social security number and not have to worry about anything. They will protect your identity so that you can live your life not worrying if somebody will steal it. Imagine not having to worry about losing a credit card, or someone taking credit card offers out of your mailbox. Credit cards can be thrown away without being cut up, saving you time and effort. Piece of mind like that is priceless in my opinion.

Once the writer’s strike is over James Vanderbilt is going to have a job writing Spiderman 4. He is a huge fan of the Spiderman fanchise as a comic book and as a movie, so I think if he can go ahead and make a good story then it will be for the best. Who knows, maybe Venom will be back and we could have a Maximum Carnage type story line going on? One can only hope.

Not having insurance sucks. You have to pay for your own medical bills, unless you have charity care, but dental and vision don’t offer such luxuries, so you are pretty much screwed in those departments. I mean the minimum amount you spend for glasses is well over a hundred dollars once the prescription is filled and the frames are picked. Well I have made a Great Discovery: Zenni Optical. Zenni Optical has glasses starting at $8 with all the extras you pay for at those retail stores. You get scratch resistant lenses free.

I think Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical is a great way to describe the service because when you have no money and you need glasses then it really is the best thing in the world. If you need glasses then check outZenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses.

I didn’t expect the Giants to win the Superbowl last night. I mean I don’t think anyone did. They weren’t exactly the favorite, and they didn’t exactly have the best streak at all, so how did it happen? I don’t know. Maybe the old man sold his soul to the devil to get the Giants to the championship. Now if only someone could sell their soul to get an all New York Superbowl next season.

One of my favorite playlists from Halo 2 and 3 is now ranked. They put up a ranked Big Team Battle last night without my knowledge and I found out today in the Bungie weekly update. I was dissappointed that this didn’t ship with it, but now that it is available I am happy. I just hope that it is more stable than when Halo 2 Big Team Battle Ranked was up.

I have been to a lot of casinos since being with Krissy. Between the ones in Delaware and then Atlantic City, we seem to go to one every few months. I’m not saying we are addicted to gambling, but going to a casino every now and then is a nice little getaway, even if you lose money.

I was watching the Daily Show the other night and there was a professor on who was trying to get online gambling to be legal in the United States again. I would love to play on a casino online, I would be able to concentrate better with my music playing and I wouldn’t have to worry about my face giving anything away. I would probably win more at poker online than in an actual casino, and isn’t that what it’s all about?
