Firstly I want to shift this blog into a different direction. Let's face it, it was just a world politics ranting spot to begin with. I'm shifting away from that, because truth is politics is solely based around the wants and needs of senators first. This won't change in American politics. I'm not saying things don't get done, but for everything done, there's ten things not done because senators are positioning themselves for re-election or snacking up kick backs.
The whole system's bullshit. The good congressmen are the ones who are not getting caught. Things are always more complicated than what we think, and in no shape or form is a far left, or a far right view of things going to accomplish what actually gets done. This has held true throughout history, and holds true today. Rant off.
What direction am I pushing this in? I don't know. Maybe a goal list, maybe for once shifting my energy into being productive instead of complaining. Things are changing. Mostly I try to keep the focus off of myself. I almost never position myself to be more important than anyone else, because honestly I don't believe I am more important than anyone else. Usually the only area of my life where I feel I have to come first, or feel the need that I need to be heard is musically. But I always don't get to shove how I exactly feel into that. So here we go. This is it. Seriously run.

Iran and his ugly twin brother North Korea.
Remember those kids growing up, the deranged ones that always did bad things because it was the only way to get their neglective mother's attention? You do? Good, because it is the best example I can give for good ole' Iran and North Korea. While other nations practically beg the United States to leave them alone, these two brats can't behave if their existence depended on it.
The current in-style version of the hand in the cookie jar for these two are nuclear weapons. My sweet babu Abu, and too Il to be killed, please tell me why you even want nukes. I really would like to know, are you looking for world stage presence? Bargaining power? Attention? Or are you just trying to make up for the fact that your completely incompetent leaders and have run your countries into wastelands full of people who don't have any where near humanistic rights, freedoms, and live in poverty? (God forbid you dump some money into socialist programs that could improve the standard of living.)
Fellas the nuke is a long outdated art of warfare, and the whole "we have a bomb, we have bargaining power" went out the window during the cold war. You know, you kinda had to be there to reap the benefits of that. You are basically trying to order physical cassette tapes from Itunes.
Even if you had a nuke, you can't use it. For one while your still WORKING on building nukes, other countries are WORKING on nuclear defense. It wont be near as effective, or effective at all. Secondly, even if you have it you can't use it. America can't even use it's nukes, do you see us nuking Iraq? Afghanistan? Those days are over, if you use a nuke, you become a target of a nuke or worse, every other country in the world jumps you for using a nuke. Nukes do not equal victory, there was a brief time period (again way to show up to that era 20-40 years too late) when they had fright tactics.
Your best bet is working on something ORIGINAL. But I mean, what can you expect from someone begging for mommy's attention.
(PS. This is aimed at the unstable and harmful leadership and governments of these two countries, not the beautiful cultures, people, or beliefs of the residents there.)

United States health care and well, laziness
Hey everyone, and by everyone I mean people who don't read my blog. I actually signed in to rant about my guitar playing problems but I found it to be unfitting with the overall theme of this blog. So I will open up with a political issue and end with a personal one. Too boring huh?
Right now as if anyone didn't know, the mighty all powerful (this is sarcasm) Barack Obama is still campaigning for health care. And people (mostly republicans (sorry had to call you out)) are in up roar about the spending issue for universal government controlled health care. I can't say "no it won't cost money" or "they will find a way to pay for it" because they probably will not.
Lets list pros and cons, for a little un-bias review.
Pros - Everyone gets health care, everyone gets affordable health care (A government health care system would drive private insurers to lower their premiums), we weed out doctors giving specific diagnosis or volunteering you for things you don't really need to cover budget cost, the new system is promoting preventive actions to keep us healthy BEFORE bad habbits/illnesses FORCE us to go to the doctor, dying people WILL NOT be denied health care so someone can pocket the expenses.
Cons - National budget, waiting times and list, maybe a loss of jobs in the private sector.
Folks lets be real, insurance is mostly a RIP OFF. Think about it with me, if you disagree with everything so far, come unbiased to this point right now and think. American health insurance is a privately ran... business. The big b word, the root of all evil, the people who would slap your mother and kick your dog for money. Business. "Oh no Tim, it is a business, so what?" business's have to make money. Period, they have to make profit. So how do you make profit in health care? You deny coverage, turn away sick people with pre-existing illnesses, you do not bet on any risk. Don't we all remember those sap sad stories on the news where peoples family members die because the insurance company refused to pay for a specific operation, or other things that could have otherwise saved the persons life? Private health care is bad, you wouldn't let the CEO of Enron, Apple (Steve jobs is evil in my opinion), Bill Gates (See some unbias here :) ), or any other money grubbing punk decide whether to give you an operation that could better or SAVE your life would you? Sorry, but you are, and yes I know the government isn't much better but obviously they are not about profits (lol deficit).
So what does this boil down to? Why are so many people up in arms about this. You DON'T have to give up your private health care unless you want to. So why fight it? Well some republicans don't like the idea of spending, or are on the whole childish vindictive bandwagon. Some people are just plain afraid of change. Others are afraid of socialism, they compare socialism to communism. There should be a rule about "-isms" your not allowed to use them unless you know what they stand for :). "-ism"s are like parts of a sandwich, if you made a sandwich of nothing but meat, well, it isn't going to be an enjoyable sandwich. But if you go a little meat (capitalism), and some cheese (socialism) you'll have a much tastier sandwich!
So if you have any comments, or disagree, please please post them :).
And if you don't want your cheese, that's fine, but don't deny me mine.

Well hi there!
Apparently I have a blog. I was going to create one today, BUT! I typed in my info and Ta-Da I have a totally emo blog from almost a year ago. Strange, and saddening because I wanted to write this blog on political, social, and over all the declination of humanity. But hell, at least we got a start huh?
Lets begin (assuming your still reading), with a recap of the year. And over all an explanation on the emo last post. I had just came off a four year relationship, and personally I felt I had no identity. I had felt so much of myself was tied in with that other person, after all was said and done, I had forgotten who I was before I had met that person. So there I was September 25th, much like other folks at that age (though they are afraid to admit it), clueless to who I actually was, and what I was doing here.
Well the year progressed, oh so slowly, and I started to remember the things I used to love. The first and formost long shed habbit was college basketball, having pretty much been banned or commited by a signifigant other to do something during games, I had lost any time to follow my favorite team of 8 years at that point. No logner was I chained by a relationship and could spend many hours in my boxers watching college basketball! Go Duke!!
Secondly my guitar playing had became stagnant. And music over all had been eating the back burner, why did I let some girl have so much control over my time and activities? A dedicated 30 minutes a day jump started my playing, and my love for music again woohoo!
And with the depature of that relationship, I gained back a few of my guy friends which I had lost contact with. Which also brought back many many episodes of idiocy and activities that involve ignorant ideas like "suit skateboarding."
Also this opportunity, let me get back into my education full force, and im now a little over a year away from my teaching degree.
So ladies and gentlemen, what have I learned from the whole fiasco? A few things, being in a relationship isn't everything, though I did gain a lot of great things in that relationship, this weird year full of blunders, dates, and over all just being alone has netted many many rewards. Honestly I haven't grown so much as a guitar player, basketball player, painter (very bad one at that, so of course there is growth), Christian, friend, and human being than any other year. I'm proud of who I am, and happy to be here.
So to wrap things up, on this insanely long blog post, let me address just a few last things. One, I still hate blogs and blogging, surprise! The only reason I am writing this one now is because a great friend has a blog that I really enjoy reading (and you can too if you know Turkish!) http://stregamze.blogspot.com/ . Secondly this is the last post directly about me, I doubt anyone will be sad about this :D. So if your still here stick with me a bit, and lets see how things happen. Thanks!

New here..
So, I don't quite know why I made a blog. The easy answer is I was bored. I don't really much care for blogs, but I guess I'll give it a shot. I just hope I can flee from terms like "blogosphere," seriously, blogosphere? My favorite thing about blogs is when they just like gang rape a google search. Hmm, so again, why am I here?
I think possibly it's because I'm a bit depressed. I don't like to admit it, but I know its there. I have more than enough priorities I completely ignore, to do ignorant stuff like write this blog. I doubt I'll even show it to anyone. Insomia is also a great answer here. The whole thing irks me because I hate being 6 degrees from an emo kid just because I've felt lousy lately.
Oh well, here she is, my blog, yes it's a woman, goodness knows I can't get any real contact with a girl that won't transmit some sort of STD.
