Hello, and thanks for showing up to read this. :)
Ok, so today at school, they held some debates (it was for Seniors, so I couldn't do it) today. They were on the Presedential Elections (Barack v. McCain), Global Warming, Affirmitive Action, Socialized Healthcare, and Immigration.
The only one I didn't cut class for was Global Warming, and I would if I could, but I had an Honors Society meeting to preside over (yeah, I'm the president of the Honors Society. Shut up, ok, lol?). Affirmitive Action, Immigration, and Socialized Healthcare were good. The election one was just ok, because most of it was baseless slander. In my opinion of course.
As for who I support for the Presidency (I'm sure you're all DYING to know, right?), I reeeeaaaalllyyyy like Barack Obama, except the Universal Healthcare thing. I can't stand the thought of it (sorry if that offends people, but whatever). So, if it's against him and McCain, I believe it's such a huge issue, I'd have to vote McCain.
But WHO CARES, BECAUSE I CAN'T VOTE!!!! Lol.
Book(s) I'm reading: Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. A gift from my oldest brother, he promised that when I finish, we'll go to see the musical in New York. I'm only on page 102 though. The only thing I don't like about it is, that no matter how long I sit and read it, when I put the bookmark in, and look to see how far I've gone, it looks like I made no ground. Meh, but it's an absolutely brilliant book, I must admit. I've gotten to where it JUST finished describing the jerks that Fantine leaves her kid (unknowingly) with. Depressing, but beautiful overall.
Well, my guitar-playing/sucking at went well-er than usual yesterday.
Well, I gotta cut this short. Dinner. See ya.

Woo! Blogging. Debating. Yeah.
Hey there.
Hey. Sup?
I wish more people knew about Gravel and Paul. They're almost opposites in some ways, but at least they're not sell-outs. Both are guys who are genuinely trying to change the system. Especially Paul, I might just be a loony libertarian, but he's pushing for smaller federal government and whatnot, which is exactly what we need.
As for Universal Healthcare, even though I'm a libertarian, that's something that I wouldn't mind so much allowing the (STATE) government to control, as long as the free market wasn't cut out.
