Dear Life,

I am currently playing World of Warcraft. Talk to you in a few years.

Sincerely,
Kevin

Half Baked is the best ice cream ever. That is all.

Kerry Won?

I saw that link on a blog that I read in Thunderbird from an RSS feed, and I figured I should share it.

In other news, I was parking my car Tuesday (ya ya, I know it’s Thursday but I forgot about it) in the parking garage. Normally I go straight to the roof because it’s easier to park there and I need the excercise anyways. It was raining that day though, so I thought I should park on one of the lower levels that wasn’t the roof so I wouldn’t get rained on. And when I say wouldn’t get rained on I mean only get rained on for the 5% of the trek out of the parking garage. However, there were none. So I ended up parking on the roof anyways.

On the fifth floor however (roof minus one) I heard the nostalgic sounds of the CSUS drum line practicing in the garage. I can hear the bass drums booming (what I used to play), the snares clacking, the metronome beeping while they play their music. There is also an encore when they finish from the car alarms. Silly car owners who set their car alarms too sensitively. I mean, why should a car alarm go off when it feels a large percussive force? Sheesh.

I’m dissapointed that Bush won the election yesterday. I am not scared or worried or anything else that other people may say. We already have suffered through four years of his terrible administration. He lies to us. He thinks he’s better than us. I’m disappointed that people think that Bush is “saving” our country for terror. Someone said to me, “how could anyone vote for Kerry after 9/11?” How could anyone vote for Bush after what Bush has done after 9/11 would be my response, but I wasn’t witty enough to come up with that before he walked out of the room. I’m dissapointed that a record number of people turned out to vote for Bush because of this. I’m dissapointed that we didn’t have anyone good to vote for as well. I’m dissappointed that Diebold machines were allowed to tabulate votes this election; without paper trails, with secret keypresses that allow people to manipulate the voting records, without any sort of audit system. I had a nice quote to post, but it seems I’ve already said it.

One thing that is very strange is how much the exit polls differed from the final results, especially in Ohio. Remember that Ohio uses Diebold voting machines in many areas. These machines have no paper trail. Early in the campaign, Diebold CEO Walden O’Dell, a GOP fundraiser, promised to deliver Ohio to Bush. He later regretted having said that.

I don’t want to speculate that there was any sort of fraud or foul play, but it certainly seems like it. CNN conveniently changed their exit poll numbers late on the night of the election to match what the Diebold machines were spitting out. I’m also dissapointed that 11 states passed measures banning civil unions and/or marraiges for homosexuals. So much for equal rights. I shouldn’t be too dissappointed though — California passed the same bill four years ago (I voted against it in the first election I was eligable though, so don’t blame me). There is a lot to be dissapointed for.

On a happier note, I released an update for poker saver today. So go check it out if you play poker.

I just uploaded coverage of the CSUS event on KOVR 13 that I just copied from my PVR today. It was recorded on the day of the event, but I was lazy. So sue me .

Sadly, I’m not in any of it, but that’s ok, you can kind of see my tournament bracket thingy in its broken state before the break if you look carefully
