Of Pens and Swords

New York, New York

Well, ATL, ATL didn’t seem to ring the right way.

I’m heading to ATL for a couple days in 20 hours.  I’m looking forward to it, seriously.  Nothing special is going to happen, I’m going to sit and game with my buddy, watch a few movies, maybe get some caches in…

A big change of subject for just a minute.  Though I cannot officially say that I’m not happy with the office of the President, I can say that I wish the dude did not use negativity so much.  He sounds like he is still on the campaign trail, still using the same verbiage, still using the southern baptist preacher speech outlines to make people think he is doing something worthwhile while trying to get everyone motivated to do something.  I understand what the intent is, but damn if I’m not sick of hearing the same thing reiterated a dozen different ways all the time.  So yes, times are hard, going to be for the next four years.  Yes, people need to make better decisions based on tomorrow and not right now.  I’m tired of the “Tough Choices” speech, they are not tough, it is getting people off their lazy asses that is going to be the tough part.  No, I do not feel like paying for someones mortgage because they make 35k a year and thought they could live in a 450k house.  I pay my bills, on time, every damn month, and live within my means…that is not a tough decision for me, that is not a decision I will ever make.

Anyways.  I could really complain about this until you are blue in the face, and in about a year and a half we will either see that the majority made a bad decision when voting by believing rhetoric, or the President will figure things out himself and start making real decisions and stop talking so much.

Pulling hard on the stick and taking this 180 in the Z axis, it’s still February, and it was almost 80 yesterday.  This morning, 65 and muggy.  I do enjoy it when it’s like this, the smell in the air is great.  I felt great, and wish I would have run this morning in it.
