Happy New Year

It's kinda hard to believe that 2010 is already over. It just seemed to have flown by! 2010 started off a bit poorly, by the middle of the year, I had a renewed sense of wonderment and now, at the end of the year, life has taken a definite turn for the better. It never ceases to amaze me how life can turn around so much in such a short span of time. Ever think back on your school years, how life seemed to take forever to go by? How when you were in kindergarten, your senior year seemed a lifetime away? In a sense it was, but as you grow older 12 or 13 years don't really take that much time to go by. Hopefully, 2011 will slow down for me, and let me enjoy life with my lady, but even if that, too flies by, at least I'll have some fine company. Happy New Year everyone!

Julian Assange & Wikileaks

I haven't been following the Wikileaks saga, except passively, I haven't seen any of the videos nor have I read any documents, but, from what I can tell there's a lot of people pissed at this guy. In all honesty, I say good for him; it's about time somebody shines a light into the dark corners of the Imperial closet. America has never been and shouldn't be now, an empire. What the fuck gives us the right to go around sticking our noses in other countries' business? We walk around the globe with our big-dick asshole swagger, thinking we're hot shit, when we're not even close; and, all these assholes in the media and government calling for Assange's death ought to have their asses kicked, he's not even an American, for crying out loud! We've brought all this hurt down on ourselves, if we would have just done the right thing, stayed home and took care of ourselves like we should have, we wouldn't be in this mess. But, noooo, we have to pretend like we still matter. Face it-the Cold War's over, we won, now come on home and take out the friggin garbage like a good boy. If we would have said, back in 1990, "Hey world, we made it safe for democracy, we prevented WWIII, & we kept the Soviets in check for 45 years, now go, have a nice life, we're going home and take care of Mom and Dad", the rest of the world would probably have the utmost respect for us instead of trying to piss on us where ever we go. I don't know if we'll ever learn, but we better damn well better try, otherwise we're just gonna get hurt even worse.
