But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope

Today's List - 3/4/08

So I have been a bad blogger since I haven't posted in a while, but there are many lame excuses including the worst cold in the universe, too much school work, etc. Here are some things:

1. If you haven't been to this website yet you need to check it out: Stuff White People Like. I like 49/80, which makes me 61.25% authentic white. It nails us pretty good.

2. The candidates may be more or less decided upon after tonight. I'm not tired of elections so much as I am tired of listening to a certain candidate that is acting completely desperate.

3. If you want to see a really gross soccer injury go to YouTube and look up Eduardo. Double compound fracture.

4. Did my taxes and got back a good chunk of change. You still have 6 more weeks to figure it out. I used to like to do my taxes early and then wait until the last day and drive to the post office and wait in the car line and drop it off. Since then I have gotten over my need to feel part of society so I do them early and file online.

5. Pete texted me (he never actually calls people on the phone - just text) about a Last Starfighter sequel. I thought that he was mocking me, but it may actually be true and may feature the star of the original, Lance Guest. (FYI - I did not have to search for the name of the star of the original - Lance Guest is a regular topic of conversation in our home.)

6. Other movies in the works to be excited about: Thundercats (FYI - it'll be CGI, not live action), G.I. Joe (although the cast looks kind weak), and Indiana Jones.

7. Point Break Live. Who's in? In case you don't follow the link, its a theater version of the movie Point Break where Keanu Reeves's role of Johnny Utah is played by a member of the audience. Maybe get a few cocktails at Conrad's and then head downtown? That's what I'm talking about.

5. I told you. I wouldn't play with your emotions like that.
6. How is that kid going to play Cobra Commander?
7. I would only go if I could be assured that I would be chosen to play Johnny Utah.
"I am an FBI agent!"

Stuff white people like is disturbingly accurate with at least one entry matching up exactly with pretty much every white person I know. The netflix entry talked about white people using Netflix to catch up on their French New Wave cinema and that is exactly what I have been using Netflix for recently.

"I'm not tired of elections so much as I am tired of listening to a certain candidate that is acting completely desperate."

If it makes you feel any better, Obama's campaign was much more prolific in San Antonio than Clinton's. His people left his flyer on my door, sent me lots of repetetive junk mail, and called my wife's cell phone four times (not a good idea by the way) and one of my other friends got a call on his cell phone from Obama while I was with him. And while do not watch much broadcast TV, I only saw Obama commercials. Besides posters and bumper stickers I saw no other campaign material from anyone. Then we both voted for McCain anyways.

There's a difference between saturation and desperation. Although I would not have like to get four phone calls on my cell either.
