Well today is the day we will determine our new president. I think this is the first election I have been really passionate about. In the past I have voted for the wrong reasons. Al Gore wore too much brown and had absolutely no fashion sense so George Bush got my vote. Then John Kerry looked like a weasel so again Bush got my vote. Dumb right? Looking back I know now I should have put more thought into my vote.

I think that is the problem today. Too many people vote for the wrong person for the wrong reasons. Oh well he says he’s going to take away my guns, or he says abortion is ok. On the abortion issue I dont think either one thinks its ok, one just believes that its a womans right to choose. This is a big issue for a lot of people. If you have children most believe that abortion is wrong. I have never condoned it, however I do not feel anyone, especially the government should be able to tell me what I can or can not do with my body. And guns, well I dont have a problem with people having them, however I do have a problem with a child shooting and killing their best friend b/c their parents are careless with the guns they do have in the household.

My biggest concern this year was the economy and healthcare. All I have heard from the McCain side is Obama is going to raise your taxes. Look at Joe the Plumber. UM, ok…Joe the Plumber is wanting to buy his business. If he earns more than 250,000 his taxes will go from 34 to 39%. Shouldnt someone that makes more than 250,000 a year pay more taxes than me who makes 30,000? Thats a no brainer really. And it is McCain that wants to raise my taxes. Any way you look at it if he is going to tax my employee based healthcare he is raising my taxes!!! Im sorry but I for one already pay waaaaaaaaaaaay more in than I ever were to think about getting back. I dont want to pay anymore. And the 5000 credit is a joke. All the credits we have on our taxes now do not make a damn bit of difference for me when I am filing my taxes.

George Bush has run our country into the ground. And those of us that voted him into office can take stake in what is going on. Had we not voted for him he wouldnt have gotten elected and we may be in a better position. Many do not like Clinton. I was one of them, however looking back take a look at our economy. It was doing better than it had in years. I actually got money back when I filed my taxes and at that time I had no dependants and worked for minimum wage.

So when you are off to the polls today really think about your choice. No matter who you vote for make sure you are voting for the right reasons. Do not vote for someone just b/c of the color of their skin or their gender. Hopefully you have really paid attention to what they are saying and realize what has been true or bogus political propaganda. I for one am voting for change b/c I am not ready for 4 more years of the same. I am ready for our economy to turn around. I want this to be a world my son can thrive, not one where we are on a spending freeze b/c the government has put us into a recession.

Think hard and vote smart!!!

Unless its somthing utterly spectacular that deserves its own post I will now start posting the celebrity gossip in one post with that particular days date! Adds a little bit more flow to the site!

Yesterday Nick Bollea, A.K.A Nick Hogan, was sentenced to 8 months in jail for the wreckless driving accident that injured his passenger, and best friend, John Graziano in Aug of 2007. Nick was also sentenced to 5 years probation after entering a no contest plea, in which the judge told him to do something positive in the 100 hours of community service he must complete. Nick did apologize to the family and said that “he would never be able to say he was sorry enough.” Nick will not have a felony conviction once he turns 18 later this summer. He also lost his drivers license for 3 years. On hand for support were Nicks parents Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea, his estranged wife Linda and their musical daughter Brooke. Nick was immediately taken into custody and was not allowed to say goodbye to his family.
