Dropped Kate off at Starbucks today. She's working till' 8. Dropped by the Dublin Library to return some stuff... picked up about 5 more CDs and a few DVD's. I swear, the library is the best place on earth to get free stuff... well borrow stuff anyway. I picked up Alice in Chains Live, The Ravonettes, Jeff Buckley Live, some miscillaneous techno CDs and a Cure CD for Kate. Also got Secret Window, Hurley Burley, and They on DVD. Hopefully I'll make some time to watch them.

Out with the old, in with the new

I'm a little late on this entry, as it is the middle of January 2013. I had meant to drop a few lines at the end of 2012 but like many other important things I've vowed to tackle in life, the thoughts found themselves in a holding pattern up in the grey matter. But hey! Now is as good a time as any, right? The past year has been an amazing experience, all around. I thought 2011 was a banger of a year, but 2012 actually topped that and then some. We were faced with challenges and adversity, but we always overcame them and moved forward. That's what life is about. I started of 2012 still living in my cozy Grandview Heights town home and continuing the daily grind with Chase Home Finance. Rochelle flew out to spend the New Year with me, and I took her out on the town. We were able to see the Columbus Zoo Lights on New Year's Eve, did some major shopping at Easton Town Center. At the end of her visit, I surprised her by flying back out to Virginia for a few more days....

Right Wing Cheerleader of the Week Award

I'm a frequent reader of right wing propaganda. I'll admit that. I think there are quite a few decent, straight forward Republicans out there who run excellent commentary on their blogs. They are typically warm and open to respectful debate. Mike M. 's blog is a good example. However, I am convinced that there are some real nut jobs out in the blogosphere, who's primary goal is to berate and destroy any opposition to their polar ideology. So, with all due respect, I've opted to create a weekly award to highlight randomly selected right wing nutjobs' hate filled contribution to our online community as well as the political landscape. This section will appropriately be labeled "The Right Wing Cheerleader of the Week Award", in honor of everyone's favorite Yale cheerleader! Without any further ado, this week's Right Wing Cheerleader of the Week Award is given to Ottman, over at The Creative Conservative . Otto is a fearless general of mis-informa...

The Green Disease

Image
We Americans are constantly being reminded by the media and our politicians about how terrible things are in this country. In 2008, Obama ran on a ticket of Hope and Change, successfully using the economic troubles of the Bush Administration to convince the voting populace that his administration would be able to turn things around. In the present Presidential contest, Mitt Romney's campaign is pushing it's own "Hope and Change" message, promising that their agenda will usher in a new era of prosperity and economic recovery. What these two self-serving politicians aren't telling you is that the goal is not to change a thing, but to MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO. Have you ever wondered why the fringe issue of abortion always gets bantered around by politicians seeking election, but never is acted upon? Why change things? If Roe vs. Wade was overturned, Republicans couldn't run on a ticket of opposing abortion anymore. They would effectively lose that bargaining chip....
