Needed a change of scenery.

The 27th... A Day of Change

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 05:44:00 +0000

The twenty seventh of the month has been a day of major changes in my life. Just in this year alone I have:

put "Dusty Old Cat" to sleep
realized I was falling for a girl I was dating
been dumped by said girl
been told my grandmother was put in hospice, and had hours, maybe days to live (she's still alive and getting better I am happy to report, several months later)
Plus just numerous other minor happenings that have greatly affected my life.

Previous years have been similar:

My dad's retirement.
An ex-gf causing some drama.
My discovery of Haagan Daas caramel cone ice cream (yes, its that good).
an anniversary with one of the great loves of my life.
I picked my major on my return to school.

(I got all this information from going backwards in time on a personal journal I keep)

So, because of this, I have decided to wait till the 27th to make another bit of a change: I am retiring this blog.

Yes, this is the last post.

I had begun to feel a bit trapped in this blog. I've no longer been writing openly on it. It had its time and place, so now I am moving on to a new blog.

Yeah, gravy doesn't die, it just takes on a different shape.

Viva Las Vegas

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 08:20:00 +0000

In about twelve hours, I'll be two time zones away in Las Vegas.

I'll be back monday... hopefully hungover, no less poor than I am now, with a lot of good stories to not tell.

Star Wars vs. Star Trek

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 17:43:00 +0000

I'm not asking which movies were better, which was better as a sci fi series, or any such nonsense. We all know as a group of films, Star Wars beats Trek on the big screen, but as an overall development of characters and universe... you can't beat the Trek franchise.

I prefer to break things down to a simpler form. Who would win in a fight.

Chewbacca vs. Worf

Han Solo vs. Kirk

Luke in the beginning of Episode IV vs. Ensign Wesley Crusher (pre traveler Wesley)

Leia vs. Jadzia Dax

Yoda vs. Q

Boba Fett vs. Odo

C-3PO and R2D2 vs. Data

The Millenium Falcon vs. the Defiant

10 Stormtroopers vs. 10 Original Series Red Shirt Guys

10 Clonetroopers vs. 10 Jem'Hadar

I'm going to answer this, and put my superior geeky answers here.

I figure I might get one to two people to answer this, since... there probably aren't that many sci fi nerds like myself reading this thing. But hey... I needed a post before I leave for Vegas tomorrow.

Who To Vote For

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 18:34:00 +0000

I took a test online to see which candidates best fit my personal ideals on who I should vote for President in 2008. My top five were...

Kucinich - D
Gravel - D
Obama - D
Clinton - D
Edwards - D

This Kucinich guy is from Ohio, where he's a member of the House of Representatives. I won't pass judgement on him yet. I'll do some deeper research on him and see where that takes me.

Gravel is a no. Why? He's 77 years old. I won't try to put someone that age in the White house. Too old.

Obama has been my favorite since Bayh didn't run. He is a fresh change from what I've been seeing in office.

Clinton is a no, no, never, never, uh uh uh (as my Calculus teacher from high school used to say.) I simply do not like her. She represents what I want Washington to get away from: the typical politician. Hillary is full of baggage, and I just don't want that in my President.

Edwards is a no. When I see him I see Robin (from Batman fame). Yeah... the freaking boy wonder. Of course Kerry being Batman. I see him too much as a losing horse candidate. Maybe in 4-8 years I could vote for him, but as of now... too close to the 2004 fiasco.

And that's my two cents.

I Wish I Was...

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 06:02:00 +0000

...a pro football player in the NFL.

I wish I played for the Atlanta Falcons.

That way, on the first day of training camp, I could break both of Michael Vick's elbows and knees with a baseball bat. His arms and legs would have so many breaks in them, it would be a wonder if he would ever be able to walk or even sign his own name again.

*sighs*

For anyone who doesn't know, Michael Vick is the so called star Quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons who was just indicted by a grand jury for dog fighting.

I'm Now a Simpson's Character

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 07:46:00 +0000

This is my self design of myself as a Simpson's character.

Had to make myself as close to my normal skin tone as possible, considering most people of my Simpsons ethnicity are yellow... I think I was able to pull off my ghostly pale quite well.

The stache and goatee are dead on for me (especially since my goatee is a little lighter than my hair), as are my perpetually stoned looking even though I don't smoke eyes.

Throw me in a black shirt with some odd logo or phrase on it... and you got me.

Thank You Google Ads

I'm surfing the food networks website for recipes, and see something for buffalo wing sauce from a cook whom I like (Bobby Flay). I just happen to pay attention to the well placed google ads.

Yeah... that third one sure does sound like a place where all the flavor is at.

Improving Western Relations with the Middle East

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:44:00 +0000

I have a simple plan to improve the relations of the Middle east with the US.

We watch some of their TV shows, and music videos...

When I was a little kid, I used to love eating grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup.

Last night, I made myself a grilled cheese. No soup though. Had a bloody mary with it instead.

Quite the yummy combo.

Leave It To The Military to Actually Be Honest

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 17:50:00 +0000

*gets up on soapbox*

I read a brief interview with Lt General David Petraeus, the big man in charge (currently) of our forces in Iraq.

He said, stating northern Ireland as an example, that fighting the insurgency would be a battle of ten years.

He also stated that the level of US troops there now seems to be stabilizing things, but a clear cut answer wouldn't be able to be made until September. Then decisions could be made about withdrawing some troops, as both the US and Iraq want.

That's honest. That's something I can support at this point.

I'd vote this guy for president. Being willing to say "ten years" and using a historical situation as a reference means the guy is being as honest and straightforward as they come.

Thanks military. I knew I trusted you for a reason.
