I Don’t Know What I’m Writing

It has been a while since I posted, so I figured I would do so now, since I am bored. Well, my birthday is in a week. Woo hoo. Not really that excited, because it really isn’t a big deal. But, I guess it is. Anyway, what’s been happening. Nothing much really. Got a couple of really good times in track, been doing decent in school, thats about it.

But the truth is I have no inspiration anymore. Nothing is inspiring me to develop anything. Maybe it is because people are just so worried about shit like MySpace or Facebook that they think, I don’t know. As I said, I don’t know what I am writing, so deal.

Oh yea, I’m working on something new.

No Digg Until November 5th, 2008

It seems like every day I go onto Digg to find at least one Barrack Obama story on the front page. No big deal really, since there are tons of pro-Apple, anti-Microsoft articles and of course the ever popular pro-marijuana, anti-RIAA/MPAA stories at any given time. But hey, I love Digg, just not Digg and election coverage. Every time I open up Firefox, it’s Digg and my email that open up. It is the best way for me to get all of my kind of news in one place. Tech stories, world news reports, and that fun dose of random stuff. It really is, when everything is said and done, an unbiased news source. You post an article you find, and anyone who wants to can either approve of it (Digg it), or disapprove of it (Bury it). This helps root out (in my opinion) biased articles, because everyone usually isn’t for one thing and completely against another.

It seems I have been wrong as of late, though. With the US Elections getting closer and closer (in both delegate counts and time until the election), more and more stories about the elections have been popping up. Not really a big deal. It allowed me to see the Reverend Wright’s anti-US comments in context. It allowed me to see that Clinton wasn’t really under sniper fire in Bosnia. This wouldn’t have been shown on TV, which is why Digg rocks, because it isn’t biased. Well, now it is.

So, why am I writing this article? Barrack Obama. I’m tired of seeing pro-Obama, anti-Clinton stories. It’s constant. Today I click a story about newly found pictures from Hiroshima after the atomic bomb drop back in 1945, and in the description of an article specifically about pictures of a WWII-era bombing, it criticizes Hillary Clinton! Tell me how that was called for. He quoted Clinton saying ‘Obliterate Iran’. Tell me this Obama supporters, would you rather have a President willing to attack a country training, funding, and supplying Islamic terrorists that are going into Iraq and killing United States troops, or one who just says (this is not a direct quote) “Let’s get the troops out of Iraq in 16 months.”? Would you rather have a President who wants to do a hasty withdraw of troops (1 year and 4 months), and then throw a country back into chaos? I am not saying Clinton has all the answers, but her plans make a little bit more sense. Why doesn’t Obama support the waving of the gas tax this summer? Gas just topped $4 a gallon down the street today, and when I have two parents who pay (combined) over $100 a week on gas, $250 every two weeks on groceries, a large mortgage and everything else, why won’t you support helping us out? “A massive loss of construction jobs” is what he says. Guess what, Obama, your wrong. You think that every week the Department of Transportation guesses how much money they made on gas taxes that week and decides to create a construction project to begin next Monday? No. They take the taxes every year and plan out projects for the next several years. A three month gas tax break won’t really affect anything, so get it straight Obama.

In the end, this may seem like an anti-Obama article, and you know what, it may be. I support Clinton, not Obama. This is just proving that not everybody is for ‘your’ candidate, and maybe you should stop being assholes, pretty much, and criticizing the other candidate in every article that mentions the word ‘world’, ‘elections’, ‘Obama’, or ‘black’.
