Another Turkey day, another piece of poultry. My thanksgiving went without hitch, and god bless turkey day, because enough leftovers from it will keep me fed for a week or so.
Anyway, my inner eye twists itself to see what the good people at Wizards of the Coast (WotC to the initiated) have come up with for Magic: the Gathering (M:TG, again for the initiated). The latest set they have, which I simply am infatiuated with, is called Unhinged. The set could be called an update to Unglued, but hey- only the supremely initiated give a damn about that.
Unhinged clearly demostrates one of the reasons I like Magic, creativity. The game is designed specifically to encourage creativity from all its players, and designers. For instance, R&D at Wizards has recently stopping all the loopholes in one section of the game from being abused too much: we call it "Blue". Blue cards are supposed to represent knowledge and so forth; if you want to learn more, read about the different colors of Magic @ wizards.com/magic/playbig.asp
Anyway, I've been thinking about getting some Unhinged cards, since my sick sense of magic is playing not to win, but to create as much chaos as I possibly can. Odd eh?
The majority of this saturday for me is waiting until six, so I can see Enterprise. You see, ever since the local cable provider here in Pendleton decided to not have UPN as a channel, I've been a little PO'd. Instead we get Fox twice. I like Fox and all (especially that new show, House) but I need my Star Trek fix. So, I tune to Fox every Saturday at six, and watch. I've also got to see that DVD I rented from the Library at the College, the Seven Samurai. I've heard its good. Well, I'm about to see. Thats what I'm up to so far today...

Ahh. If you don't know it already, I'm a conservative (a neo- at that). I'm one of those people who ardently support our president. Why?
One reason comes to mind, and that would be the classic, http://www.sorryeverbody.com, a site which apologizes for Bush being re-elected. Not a bad idea, if Bush was bad.
I'm sorry, but whenever I hear the liberal mantra "Bush evil, Bush evil", I think they need to grow up. Honestly. Support him. Why? Because he's your president too! Remember FDR? Don't? Well look him up. He's quite edu-macational.

He and Bush have parallels, NOT Bush and Hitler. Such thinking is nonsense; why would you think his goal is to destroy america?
Secondly, the world needs to thank and apologize to US. We've been saving their collective butts for over the last half-century. We aren't out for conquest, but you know what?
A group of Islamofacsists seeks to behead us and kill us all because we allow hippies like you crazy Micheal Moores and Sean Penns to exist. We didn't behead anybody, now did we?
Perhaps I should mention why I dislike the Blue minority in the United States. Any intelligentsia who tries to discriminate based on Faith, or political views needs to try something: rethink those views. Don't be a damned skeptic. Or believer. That path leads to darkness (See Star Wars, Dune, the History of Western Civilization).
Its us versus them, and the them is on the run. Don't let those guys get away with wiping out nations and our CULTURE by trying to play nice. It just don't work.

Normalcy...Such a oxymoron

Well, another day has gone by. The computer I'm using is the at the college's Library, and it sucks. Apparently, Public Computers equals screw the the users. Not to be mean, but honestly, if your going to be using a computer, at least learn how to use the internet properly. The explorer on this computer just sucks; soooo much spyware. When I tried to check my email at hotmail, the thing nearly exploded with pop-ups.
Like the eighth layer of hell.
Anyway, I'm sitting here, typing this with a blustery November day; nice and mean dark clouds are outside. Here in a few minutes I need to go get my ride home from my sister Rebecca.
Today I went to a place here in Pendleton called "Mongolian BBQ". It quite good. You fill your bowl with what you want to eat, they cook it, and you eat it. And man, do you get alot of food for five or six bucks (I love saving money). My little dish was great, with Chicken, Broccoli, Noodles and some wonderful Soy sauce. Soy Sauce is very very delicious.
My little addiction to Soy sauce (isn't it obvious?) start about a year and half ago, when I was working for Northwest Youth Corps in Idaho. Trying to reduce dehydration, the crew tried Soy Sauce salty goodness as a solution. Of course, we had no clue if it would work, so naturally a addiction occured. We ran out of Soy Sauce faster than any other crew.
Which leads me to my new oddity, something called "tagged". An old crewmate of mine, the founder of Lemonism Marc Lemons, emailed me to try (I think it was automatic) give him "props" as you kids might say these days. Weird site.
Well, I'll see ya' later with more of my continuing misadventure.

Hmm. I just woke up awakened.

Hi, itsa me, Josh.
Just thought I'd start somewhere for this blog. Right?

"When a man in the beginning of his life is ignorant of everything, he has no scruples, finds no obstacles, no inhibitions. But after a while he starts to learn, and becomes timid, cautious, and begins to feel something choking in his mind, which prevents him from going ahead as he used to before he had any learning. Learning is needed, but the point is not to become its slave. You must be its master, so that you can use it when you want it."
