politics.

So after that last post (which to date has garnered the most responses), I have gotten a few calls and a lot of e-mails questioning my politics. I will try to make it short and simple and I’m sure I will fail at that.

I am not going to vote. It is not because I’m a convicted felon, or an illegal alien. I joke and say it’s because I’m too lazy, but really it is because there are no candidates whom I would want in office. I refuse to buy the lesser evil argument because it is stupid.

I would like to prioritize my issues for you. All you have to do is go down and see where I stand on things.

1.I am a huge supporter of human rights. Do you support human rights? Most do not. What group do you think needs more representation? Gays, blacks, women, immigrants or white males? Whichever group you choose I want you to think about maybe not killing them before they are born. I hate abortion. I think there should be exceptions for rape victims, incest cases, and where giving birth would cause severe health complications for the mother. Other than that, don’t murder people because you are too lazy to use birth-control.

I am not some right wing nut-job that thinks people do not have sex, or shouldn’t have sex. Everyone has sex. (Except me). No judgments, no looking down on people who like to have what I am told is the best thing ever. Use one of these methods to prevent killing someone because you are too stupid or too ashamed to admit you had sex. (Remember everyone has it). Here is a list. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/sex_relationships/facts/contraception_which.htm

I have more to say about this, but I said I would be brief. Abortion a tough decision for rape, incest, danger to moms. Not a means for birth-control.

2. Our other rights. All 27 of them. (Except the 18th which was repealed, so only the 26 of them)

Free speech, religion, assembly, guns, due process, trial by jury, vote or not, and all the rest. These were not given to us by the bill of rights or the other amendments of the constitution. These are things that all people on the planet should expect. Any Politian who runs on a campaign of limiting the rights of people will not be supported by me. Ever. If some Politian makes it past the first thing I care about, they usually get hung up in the second.

One thing that seems to be guaranteed by the bill of rights is use of drugs. I am not some left wing nut-job that thinks that everyone uses drugs. (But just about everyone does) If you are starting to get a holier than though feeling about not using drugs, remember that headache that went away with aspirin? That cup of joe you had this morning? That night cap you like to have with that special someone? All drugs. All legal for some reason, but still drugs. I’m not saying legalize weed, I’m saying legalize everything.

Prostitution and drugs for everyone, not just the polititans.

3. Money. I earned it, let me keep it. Stop wasting it on stupid shit. A lot of Politians say they want me to keep my money, but they are liars. Democrats or Republicans will equally waste my money. Why should I pay for a bridge in Oklahoma, a state I will never go to intentionally? I shouldn’t that’s why.

That might actually be all I care about. To recap, you should do whatever makes you happy, unless it harms another human being, and don’t touch whats mine.

The obligitory I turned 30 post.

As many of you know, I turned 30 on Wednesday. I want to thank all of my friends who made the arduous journey all the way out to Forest Grove.

I feel that at this point in my life I am the most secure I have ever been. I have worked for the same large corporation for just about 5 years, I make a livable wage, have health benefits, own my home, and all of my cars are paid off. I have a lot of friends, and get along with my family.

I am larger and more single than I expected, but when compared to the good points, I am fairly content with my life.

I know, usually saying things like this brings on some kind of trials and or tribulation, but I think I can handle it.

More pictures!

And here is me, right after donating my hair. I'm trying to be fancy since I was in a wine shop.



Here is an outside shot of my home. I took a few of the inside as well, however I forgot to use the flash, so they are too dark.

Pictures!

I hope this works. Here is a recent picture of me. Right before I cut it off. Yeah, i look like a hippy.

Nomad no more

Yesterday I moved into a lot out in the Deschutes River Woods area of Bend. It's an acre lot, complete with trees, rocks, and neighbors on both sides. It terms the nomadic lifestyle of towing my house around with me everywhere I went.

The downside is that now I have to drive out of town to be in wilderness, instead of just walking outside my house. The upside is now I have water, electricity, and a toilet, all for $385 a month. (not that bad of a trade off)

Late to the show

I often find myself posting long, ranting replies on my friends blogs. Someone finally called me out on it, and suggested I start my own blog. So...
I don't exactly know what my blog will be about, I'm politically minded, spiritual, opinionated, good looking, hard working, and probably a little too smart for my own good.

I guess my first blog will be about a subject that is very important to me. Beer. I really like beer. Not cheap beer. Good beer.

I have a little rule that I go by, If I can see through it, I won't drink it. I stray sometimes, like on hot days when I come in from the forest, or I'm out on the river I might drink an American style lager. But usually its the browns, blacks, stouts, and porters I enjoy.

My current BoC "Beer of Choice" is the Beck's Dark. It has a small malt character, no hoppyness, crisp coffee flavor. The woman who works at 7-11 where I purchase beer called me pretentious for buying an imported dark beer. So I took it as a compliment.
