This is it

I was going to blog about the economy being in the crapper, but I’ve been moved to go with something else.

For the last few years, I’ve been waiting for someone to come along and knock me off my feet.  The girls I’ve met the last couple of years just haven’t done it for me.  I thought that I didn’t have it in my anymore.  Maybe I would never be knocked off my feet again.  I hoped and prayed that I still had it in me.  That I could still go head over heels.  I told myself that I really wanted to meet somebody that would make me do anything to get her.  The phrases I like to use in my head are to do “whatever it takes” or “everything in my power”.  Tonight I met that person.  Now I know that one thing I don’t know is what the future holds.  I know things could fizzle out or she just might not like me that much.  Oddly, that doens’t matter that much right now.  I’m both happy and relieved that I can feel this way regardless of what actually happens with her.  I know that I could really fall for somebody, and that’s good to know.

I’m scared, stoked, relieved, and majorly excited about this.  I’ve been waiting and waiting (somewhat impatiently I might add) for my chance to do whatever it takes to get a girl.

This is it.  I don’t know what the future holds or even if I have a chance with her.   But I do know that I am going to do everything in my power to get her.  Maybe it’s enough–maybe not.  That part I can’t control.  But there’s no way in hell that I’m not going to give this absolutely everything.  That way at the end of the day–whether she’s mine or not–I’ll know that I couldn’t have done anything more to make it happen and that it just wasn’t meant to be.

Political Edition

I haven’t had a post in awhile.  With everything going on, I guess you could call this the political edition.

Last week was the DNC, this week, the RNC.  It was pretty good argument for the Democrats last week.  They have a pretty convincing argument.  McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time.  People tend not to like Bush.  He also doesn’t know how many houses he has and he believes that anyone making less than $5,000,000 per year is middle class.

Also, you can compare 8 years of Clinton vs. 8 years of Bush and look at how the country has changed during each person’s time.  During Clinton’s time, wages increased, jobs were created.  During Bush’s time, wages have lowered and jobs have been lost.  It could be coincidence, it could be cause and effect.  Who knows.

Of course Republicans have their following.  Statistically rich, white guys and the church-going folk.

While I do whole-heartedly believe that abortion is wrong and I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman, at what cost should these be pushed?  People are losing health care, the middle class is getting eliminated–the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, most countries around the world don’t like America.

It makes you wonder.

On a different note, this year we’re going to have either a woman vice president or a black president.  Both history making accomplishments.
