A few items

Okay, so November has not been the best month for me. First, Obama won the election, which I actually think might be okay. It looks like his government will be more centrist than he actually is. 2nd BYU lost to Utah. What a horrible game, I had a feeling it would be like that, I just did not think we would give up 5 turnovers, no wonder we lost.

But I am excited about Black Friday!!!!! I need to find some deals. I want the following, somehow, in the next year.

1. Kitchen Aid mixer
2. External Hard Drive
3. Food processor
4. North Face Coat $350 :(
5. Work out clothing
6. and much much more

My big goal is to get the Kitchen Aid Mixer for 150 for the 4.5 quart mixer or 200 for the 5 quart mixer. Anyway, I cannot wait for the ad tomorrow!!!!!! You all have no idea!!!!!

What a wonderful kid!!!

This little known kid died the other day, Brenden Foster. He had leukemia and was living on borrowed time but all he wanted to do was to help the homeless. He wanted to make them sandwiches. Read the following story. It is just amazing!!!! What a great kid.

BYU vs Utah

Well it is that time of the year. We have come to the BYU vs Utah rivalry. I am nervous that BYU will lose but I am keeping hope alive. Growing up in SLC and living a few miles away from the University of Utah, I have a deep resentment for the "U." So lets "Rise and Shout" and hope BYU wins.

Paranoia

One of my favorite blogs is this guy who takes random pics around Sweden. He recently took this pic and I really like it. I think this is so true. This guys site is: http://oktylus.blogspot.com/

I cannot believe I just did that

Okay, so I admit I loved the movie Bring It On. It was cheesy and wonderful. A great movie to bring a smile to your face. So tonight I was flipping through the channels and I saw that Bring It On: All Or Nothing was on TV. So what did I do, I started to watch it, that was my downfall. I flipped between it and reruns of Friends. But as the night went on, I was watching more and more of Bring It On. Oh it was horrible, but I kept on watching it. I even had something to do towards the end so I paused it so I would not miss the ending. Oh, it was so bad, but I could not stop watching I was hooked. Anyway, I cannot believe I just did that.

R.I.P. GOP

Well, the election is over and I am so glad. I was so sick and tired of these commercial on TV every 5 seconds. Obama's win is a very historic and monumental moment and I do not want to take away from that. But I would like to take some time to vent about the party I support. The Republicans blew it! I don't mean this year but 8 years ago. It happened when we let the religious right take over the party. When "W" ran 8 years ago, he ran as a compassionate conservative, someone who would work with both parties. He told us he was going to be a conservative that cared about social issues. Well, that did not happen. 9/11 changed the nation and the Bush Presidency. He gave up all of those principals (which he did follow in Texas) and ran a crusade to fix the Muslim world and moved to the far right. This movement changed the party, we used it as our excuse to do everything and it dominated our policies. We used it as our excuse to intimidate others and punish those who don't want to do what we want. Bush screwed up our international relations, economics, and etc, all for the religious right. We alienated whole groups of people. He never lived up to the way he ran his campaign

This election was about change and ending the Bush policies. Obama is young, energetic, calm, and a great speaker. The GOP could not match it. We were too beholden to the religious right, we are not capable of accepting people who are different. I hate that about the Republican Party.

When Collin Powell said he was voting for Obama he said he was doing it because the republican party has lost its way and I could not agree more. We screwed it all up and we deserved to lose like we did. We need someone young to change our party and we need to return to the center. We need to be accepting of others and allow diversity in our party. Somehow the Democrats were able to do that, why could we not do the same? I hope and pray this loss will allow the party to regroup and change for the better.

Congrats to the Obama supporters out there, I hope he is able to lead this country the right way and keeps to the center, we don't need another President going off the deep end.

God Bless the USA

Daylight Savings Time

I hope you all remember to change your clocks back an hour to end Daylight Savings Time. I did not know this, but Daylight Savings Times could really help us in the War on Terror. The Washington Post today had an article about how not all countries follow Daylight Savings. It told of an incident in Israel where not knowing about daylight savings time actually thwarted a terrorist attack. See the following:

"Back in 1999, terrorists on the daylight-saving West Bank built several time bombs, delivered to co-conspirators in Israel and scheduled to explode at a set time. Problem was, Israel had just switched back to standard time, so the only people injured were the terrorists themselves when the bomb detonated an hour earlier than they expected and killed them all. " Full article found at the following address: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/31/AR2008103103692.html

See Daylight Savings Time really can help us win the War on Terror :)
