Recent Happenings

I just stepped into my blog about two moments ago, found 2 comments about my post concerning furries. I got one commenter who was not too thrilled with my post, and one commenter with some interesting criticism. In a nutshell, one nice comment and one not too nice. I tend to take comments on any internet thing and look at them as ways of improving my own views, so I read both and thought them over. This post isn't about talking over those comments, it's jsut that this is a blog and current thoughts always go out in front of whatever you wanted to originally post first. Now I'm thinking that it's just nice to get a comment or two once in a while! :)

So anyway; my PSP is great. It stores music, photos, plays movies and games. I've bought and beaten the Simpsons game, bought Tomb Raider: Anniversary, and I'm almost done with Daxter. It's been a decent Saturday. Went to a friend's house, had to help taking down the Christmas stuff around the house. Not fun with the weather so cold. I had to put the outside decorations up myself, and I had to take them down myself too. Dissapointing.
Recently, I finally found and purchased Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album. It's awesome. My favorite track so far is Brain Damage. Does that sound weird to anyone? Lol.
Yesterday I discovered something really interesting. It's a sort of game based on if you could start life over. Google "Alter Ego". It'll have a website name like Blackforge.net or something. Try it, and then tell me what you thought of it. It's pretty impressive to me.

Now onto my main thought of the day: The Iowa Caucases. (Did I spell "Caucas" right?) Barack Obama is now the frontrunner for the Democrats, that's as much as I know. I had a strong feeling it'd turn out that way. Hillary Clinton is no longer in the lead, and that makes me happy. I do not want her to win. It's not like I'm of voting age yet, but still, I'm smart enough to know Hillary wouldn't do her job. And please, don't jump on me because of the whole, You don't want Hillary 'cause she's a WOMAN! thing up, because that jsut isn't the case. I'd love to see a woman win. America needs a president who isn't a big fat lazy white guy who flips a quarter now and then to make decisions. (Keep in mind that I am white.) It's just not Hillary who should be that woman to make history. First of all, she did NOT spend nearly enough time as a senator, and she was a senator in a place that wasn't even her original hometown! I mean, come on lady, have some loyalty! And of course, after being cheated on by Bill, she kept him by her side? So foolish. I also just have a general feeling that she won't do a good job. Now for Barack Obama: I really like Obama. I want him to be the president. I've seen a Meet the Press episode where Barack was interviewed in late November, and liked what I heard. And let's not jump immediately to skin color, but I also want to see a president who's black, or at least has some African-American lineage. A friend of mine once said, "The only way this country is going to open its eyes is if we have a Black, Gay, Jewish woman for President."
He was making a joke, of course, but I felt it held some truth. And of course, I have an overall feeling that Obama would make a really good president. He'd do a much better job than Hillary and Bush combined. Something interesting: 57% of Obama's voters were between the ages of 17-24. That's so great to me. I mean, these are people really close to my age, and more than half of the leaders votes were from them? Wow.
Well, I'm done typing for the moment. Just as a note, the only reason I didn't put any views on the Republicans is because I barely know anything about them. My father's mainly Republican, and I'm too young to make a decision, not having enough info about the two main parties.

Now, time to listen to some Dark Side of the Moon!
