I'm not on my own computer so you don't get any snazzy custom blog headers. Sorry.

At any given time on U.S. television, there is at least one station talking about Hillary or Obama...about Obama's preacher, their tours around the U.S. winning states, etc. Is anyone else totally sick of listening to these windbags? All they say is meaningless, socialist fluff over and over again. We've got a long way to go before the election and already I'm so tired of it.

I've been thinking about voting a lot lately though. I'm in a bit of a conundrum because frankly I don't give a rat's rear end who gets elected. I don't care because everybody but Ron Paul is a fruitcake, but Ron Paul doesn't have a chance in heck to win because of my own conspiratorial theories which I won't begin to mention here.

My first inclination is to vote republican, but McCain is an advocate of the war and I am not anymore, while the democrats are an advocate of bringing our folks home {not to mention I just really don't like him for some reason}. If I were to vote today I would have no clue who to nominate.

With this election feeling hopeless, and everyone moaning and groaning about our economy, on top of skyrocketing prices on so much in this country that I see right in front of my eyes, it's honestly kinda hard not to be really cynical about the "All-American Life". I heard an old black woman in line at the store the other day and she was talking to the clerk about gas prices and the sort...and she turned to me and say, "You know? Something's gotta give!"

99% of the people I talk to speak of our situation like it's hopeless and we're in big trouble. Are we talking out of our bums here or are we really getting flushed down the toilet?

I am extremely naive when it comes to global economics and recessions, but I think she's right. Something's got to give Either we change our way of living (either temporarily or permanently) and we change our mindset about our standard of living, or the economy has to bounce back. But that brings me to wonder if Americans can really change the way we live? If we're forced to, how long will it take? If we do neither of these things then we will continue to live in a perpetual state of hopelessness, that of which will have negative lasting effects on this country....in my humble and uneducated opinion.

A bug just flew on my chin and I flicked it off and I don't know where it is... so this is a good time to say goodbye.

Who are y'all voting for?!

I'm voting for Ron Paul. It will be a "write in", of course, but there really isn't anyone else I would rather vote for. I might vote for myself, since I have just as much of a chance to win as Ron Paul.
