As the title says, Happy Holidays!
Hope your having a good holiday season and it only gets better. It should be relatively less blogging due to time restrictions this week. I should be back full force soon though. 
Well it seems I was caught…but not for drug trafficking…rather in a game of tag. Thanks to Ryan Williams. However this is not the normal tag…it is blog tag!
So as the rules of this game go, I have to list 5 random unknown facts about myself, and then somehow I have to tag 5 other people…to keep the game alive. So here we go!
1. I was born in outside the US and moved after my father actually lost a political election forcing him to start over.
2. I learned how to type from learning shortcuts in an online video game, “Ages of Empires: Rise of Rome”. You couldn’t get anywhere in that game if you couldn’t find the CTRL + M key in time.
3. I have listened to System of a Down around 3,000 times since November 8th.
4. I can’t go to sleep or have a normal day if I don’t catch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report back to back at 11PM EST.
5. I have a case of OCD…every single thing must be in order, and apparently it stems from an “ego” which I like to have control over everything in my current situation.
I tag:
Chris MacDonald, Victor Torres, Sean O’Neill
So, today I woke to the wonderful news that, Time Magazine has given me the illustrious award of Person of the Year. I can’t thank TIME enough for such an honor, and all those who voted for me, apparently it worked, and I DO have fans.
This year was a landmark year for myself, I started out with tons of resolutions, even though I never fulfilled them. I then made one of the biggest discoveries in world history, the human race is absolutely, positively stupid. That was one of the high points of 2006 and for the whole 00’s for that matter. Then in my Global History class, I pulled a Ken Jennings, yet better. In the class game of jeopardy, I totally dominated and won 10 extra points on the next test for my side of the room. Meanwhile around the globe we had guys like Kim from North Korea calling the American bluff, and completely disobeying the orders they tried to give him. Sorry for that side note, we all know that made no difference in 2006.
Push forward a couple months, it was state tests week, and I completely annihilated them, getting a 100 without studying once. Meanwhile Mahmoud Ahmadenijad over in Iran was developing his little nuclear power and the Iranian economy was booming. Again, sorry for that little ramble, silly Mahmoud was just trying to take away my fame. I finally ended school off with a 4.0 GPA and just around that time, that crazy fellow Al Gore was out and about, trying to raise awareness his movie and his silly idea of Global Warming. Ah, Al is such a joker, here is another classic case of some one who was formerly in the public eye trying to steal my spotlight.
Let’s go into late summer, I opened my first official website, Visual Enhancement, a graphic design firm consisting of a few minors. We had a full flash website and all, simultaneously the little known Stephen Colbert was rising to fame with his popular show the “Colbert Report”, he even made up his own word, “truthiness”. Then of course there was Hugo Chavez making a fool of himself by standing up to the UN and calling our great president “the devil”. Right about when school had just began, Sasha Cohen made the best movie of the year, “Borat” and captured the world with his humor about gypsies. Google was busy taking over another company for hundreds of billions of dollars, but those stand nowhere in comparison to my crowning achievement; being made an administrator at NBAwire! Ha, take that Raul Castro, Scientist who declared Pluto is no longer a planet, The whole democratic party which took power of Congress, Pope Benedict XVI, and Tiger Woods.
Apparently all of your achievements are no comparison to myself, I clearly had the best year, I did the most anyone could ever do, which was apparently nothing.
As reported by BBC, The 80 year old Castro is still alive, however his health is still very suspect. He recently called his Communist party leaders to cheer them on, and has also recently spoken to Venezuelan President, and also good friend Hugo Chavez. Chavez himself denied reports of cancer and anything which can be considered terminal. However, It is widely known Castro has seen better days, and based on American Intelligence Reports he may only have months left.
On to a bigger topic, What is the future of Cuba? In July Castro handed power over to his brother and right hand man Raul Castro. With Cuba’s current state, it seems Raul is just continuing what Fidel was, and Cuba as a whole is not prospering. The major problem with it all is the American embargo on Cuba, why must we continue this idea of not supporting Communism to a country like Cuba, all the while, one of our major partners is the Socialist China. It makes you wonder what the US is actually trying to do, as of right now they are keeping Cuba in a level of poverty which would make the poor in the US look like Bill Gates.
One of the most prominent figures in America today is the 43rd president of the United States, no, not George Bush, Al Gore. Yes, the man who won the hearts and minds of Americans during his first campaign, yet had it stolen from him due to a lack of corporate connections. Gore is again in the news, however this time it is not for a scandal, rather for his documentary which highlights the inconvenient issue of Global Warming. Some consider “An Inconvenient Truth” the best movie in years, for it is more than just the latest love story. His documentary is amongst the small list of documentaries which are being considered for an Oscar award.
Now to the other topic at hand, the all important ‘08 elections. With Bush continually destroying the economy of America, following a failed course in the war on “terror”, his approval rating on a new low: 30 percent and with the whole shift of power in congress; one must believe American’s want change, and that change will shift to the White House as well.
This leads to the major question, who will be the democratic nominee? Which one will it be? Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards or will it be the former Vice-President Al Gore. Certainly all of the potential candidates have their pro’s, however Gore instantly rises to the top of the list based on his credentials.
Gore has recently denied the notion of a presidential campaign, however has followed that with “I haven’t completely ruled it out”. During his first campaign, Gore was often knocked for being a “know it-all”, essentially someone who the common people could not relate to. However recently the public has seen a new Gore, one which makes sarcastic jokes and appears on comedy shows. Can this be a well thought out plan to not only bring Gore back into the public as well as correct the faults his critics pointed at the first time around.
This might be over thinking on my part, however all the pieces are certainly in place for a Gore ‘08 election.
