Boring Photos for a Boring Blog

    This blog is boring as shit so I decided to spice it up with some boring pictures that I've taken.  Post a picture, tell a story about the picture, bore the be-jesus out of the reader.  So without further ado.....


    The lovely photo that has sidled up next to this block of text was taken in Heidelberg, Germany.  In February of 2008 me and my now fiancee Mandy took a trip to Germany/Czech Republic. We spent a few days in Germany and took a bus to the Czech Republic on a whim (we had originally planned to go to Poland, but a woman decided to splatter herself on the front of our train en route to the airport). 

   The picture itself was taken at about 5:30 in the morning because we thought we got free croissants and a hot drink.  We were mistaken. Needless to say we weren't thrilled about getting up at that hour and not getting free food, but it was worth it for the pictures. A bustling downtown is the usual for Heidelberg, but no one was to be seen.  There is a collection of the sleepy fog filled pictures on my Flickr account found here:

Sarah Palin is just Adorable!

I actually listened to the vice presidential debate last night ,because as always I am politically savvy.  Joe Biden was pretty much what I thought he would be, I agreed with him on most points, much like Joe I also like going to home depot. 

Sarah Palin was.....interesting.  She "exceeded expectations" by most counts and I would agree with that assertion, although, I think most of us were expecting her to freeze/throw up/pass out upon shaking Bidens hand. She did none of those things, but did manage to use the term "maverick" about a thousand fucking times.

In short she managed to talk. She talktalktalktalktalked, unfortunately she answered very little, got most of her facts wrong, and sounded like a redneck from the U.P.....that's not a good thing for me.

I was going to point out everything that was wrong with what she said, but these news outlets did it for me (and better than I would have). The links are at the bottom of the page. 

I think the fact check clearly shows that Palin just didn't know the facts and Biden knew exactly what he was saying, just skewing the truth slightly.

My favorite mistake of Palins was calling General McKiernan "General McClellan". She was about 150 years off, McClellan was a General in the Civil War. At least she named a general I guess....

One thing I really disliked was them trying to out do each other by talking about their down home childhoods. I can't believe people buy into that bullshit.  Somehow Palin saying "hockeymommaverickjoesixpackmaverickmaverickenergywashingtonoutsidermaverick" results in some people decided "yes....yes.......YES!!!!! That is exactly me in every way!! SHE KNOWS WHAT I NEED!!!!!!"

It cracks me up to see the middle class/lowerclass people that have McCain signs in their yard. 

I guess in all this bullshit, I'm not going to change anyones mind and no ones going to change my mind. It's stupid to try. So the point of this blog is.......well there isn't one. I just don't like Palin or republican views in general and wanted to share it. It's all bullshit. Dis Janky. U Janky.


*EDIT* All the links I linked got deleted. Fuck it, find them yourself.
