Captains Log: Entry #1.

So here it is, my first blog. I hate to get off on the wrong foot here but this feels pretty dumb. Shouldn't middle age women who wear mumus, hate children and love cats do this during the winter months when there aren't any craftsfairs to go to? Well, I'm going to update this from time to time with news, lies about me, and conspiracy theories about the world. Maybe people will fall in love with my self inflated ego as it radiates from my words and give me some greater purpose in life. Actually, I'm just too cheap to pay for a real URL. I am not an expert when it comes to grammer and spelling so don't expect great things out of this blog. Just take it for what it is worth, at least it's free.
Today was a snow day in Northern Virginia, which meant no school. So, I was forced to turn to the only forms of education the youth have left, T.V. and internet. The History channel took a break from it's all Hitler all the time programing to teach me about trucks. That is really the extent of my day.
By the way, my dial-up internet connection is slow tonight so this post is going up without spelling or grammer check. Sorry.

Your House Sucks!

Housing in America is unimaginative. It is cheap. It is ugly. As a draftsman it is my duty to draw the homes that you people pay us to create for you. I have not seen a single house that stands out from any other for the past 12 months. This makes me hate my work. I want to believe that i am leaving a mark on the world but now I just want everyone to stop building tasteless structures. People move into these developements for a great view, only to have another house plop down in front of their bay window. the only reason i keep going to work is the amazing paycheck and the hope that someone will ask for something that will challenge me and be nice to look at.

Please have some sympathy!

Is This Treason?

I'm really tired of the "Christian Right". Hey, I'm a Christian but that doesn't make me better than a Muslim. We both have one God who is based of the same teachings from a long time ago. Is Jihad so different from taking the teachings of a guy who wanted peace and useing it to cause trouble all over the world?
Am I really going to go to hell for my beliefs? Or do you have the same probability as me. We are both made of molecules and atoms. These building blocks of life have only so many variations they can go through. Purhaps God set these atoms up to limit our behavior, perhaps science can prove fate. Perhaps I'm tired and It's late.
No that would just be a cop out to writing about this. But it is true. I am tired. I'm tired of one lady's crusade to make dancing like it was in the fifties at my high school. I'm tired of people telling the school down the street that they can't do a play about a gay kid.
Breaking news everyone! God did not choose George W. Bush to lead America. You did. God's plan would not have involved the destruction of a national surplus and the destruction of our social security. Just because SS is the only program that could turn a profit didn't give him the right to take money out of it for and unpopular war and then claim that the system needs to be fixed.
Yeah, I support the troops. That is why I want to bring them home!
i'll edit this later and try to give it more reason and logical flow, my thoughts are to fast for my typing.

NUKE GAY BABY WHALES FOR JESUS!

NASCAR is for Rednecks! By the way, I am a white southern kid.

NASCAR is for Rednecks! The first step for the American public to better themselves is to acknowledge that NASCAR is the worst sporting event on television and is targeted at an uneducated southern market known as the redneck. The second step is for those who fall into the catagory of redneck to stop taking pride in it. Come on, the Confederate South is really not the greatest thing to celebrate. Read "Confederates in the Attic" by Tony Horwitz and you will be able to really see the stupidity of it.
Anyways, the real point i'm trying to get at is that NASCAR is pretty lame. They turn Left for four hours while pushing the pedal to the floor. Is that really impressive to you? Plus, all the cars look the same. Their extensive windtunnel testing has proven that the bigass American car can only take one shape to be aerodynamic.
Now, I offer some alternatives. World Rally Championship is the best driving in the world. The drivers pilot 4 wheel drive sports cars at 120mph on roads around the world. These roads are the same everyday roads that the public might drive. Some are gravel, some are tarmac. Some have gaurdrails, others don't. These guys cover thousands of miles with the aid of a co-driver whose job is to read a description of the turn that will pop up after the next two turns because they are traveling so darn fast.
American LeMans Series- Maybe you don't support the foriegn autosports, so now you can watch a motorsport that we stole from the French!!! The ALMS is a series where sports cars of all shapes and sizes battle it out on road courses for hours on end.
Australian V-8 supercar challenge- Essentially the Australian version of NASCAR, but ten times better because they turn both ways and every car is different.
Formula 1- if you never heard of it you should leave your cave.
Race of Campions- It ain't the American IROC, the ROC is a race that puts drivers from around the world against each other in cars that are identical. They use several different kinds of cars to make it fair for everyone. Here is a fun fact, Rally car drivers have won every time except for last year when a formula 1 driver won. Two NASCAR drivers are invited every year and they always come to try their hand at it. A NACAR driver has never even come close to winning the ROC since it began in the 80's.
