Let Me Tell You My Theory

How similar do you see the characteristics between this presidential election and the election of 1960?? There was Nixon - old, sickly looking, and not appealing at all to anyone on TV. Then there was JFK - he was new, he was hip, he was fab, not to mention he was young and very good looking. No wonder all the ladies (and everyone else) voted for him. Three years later, he was dead from a bullet through the head.
So this year, there was McCain, and all anyone could say about him was that he was old, and all he could talk about was the Vietnam War. Then there's Obama - he's fit, he's smart, he's suave, he's young and still in love with his happy wife and family, and every woman in the US guaranteed has some sort of whatever woman crush on him. He's the new JFK, and there's about a million people out there that you could talk to that pretty much think he's going to get assassinated within the first month of his presidency.
And gee, it doesn't help any that he's BLACK.

That's just my theory.

But other than that, I think it's about time we got a Democrat back in office. Ok, come on, I'm more Republican, but you've gotta admit - the Democrats (unless you're a REAL good Republican) are the ones that generally get things done. Alright, so maybe their morals are a little lower than most, but maybe that's what makes them such good politicians! I know I wasn't a Clinton fan back in the day, but what did I know - I was 7. But looking back now, and especially comparing it to Bush's 2 terms (I'm not harping on Bush), the economy was good, Clinton actually went out and helped other countries and established different programs that have actually really made a difference! What has Bush done?? I'm not going to lie - I would have very much feared for the economy if McCain had been elected to office, which was why I was very hesitant right at the end to vote for him anymore, yet I would have felt like a sinner going against my Republican beliefs voting for Obama. But now with Obama in office (I'm not surprised at all to see he has won), I actually have some sort of hope for our economy. Maybe. I don't know if I can trust him fully yet, but I think I can trust him to get the job done, whatever that job may be. This will be a fun and adventurous next 4 years to see how our country turns out. So let's...hold on tight and hopefully enjoy the ride??

Congratulations

The Nation has elected its first black president, something Hollywood has already been trying to tell the world!

Summer 2008 Hiking Spots

The pictures are actually in reverse order of when they happened, except for the last few because I couldn't remember. :) My whole summer pretty much consisted of working and hiking. Picture Time! (P.S. Sorry - I'm not real good at putting pictures on this thing...)

Camping at Maple Something a little past Midvale. That was fun!














The Y!












Rock Canyon













The Notch!! The most beautiful hike I've been on, almost, by far!












Provo River Falls













Timpanogos Cave! That was amazing!












Stewart Falls











Bridal Veil Falls


If there's a random picture of a beautiful view, that was somewhere in Alpine near Lone Peak (not the high school).

Look, finally a post!

Just a few thoughts:

1 - Help out the economy and get interested in agriculture. Did you know that's where our food comes from?? :-O

2 - Keep a record of all spendings. Avoid consumer debt at all costs. Have a food storage, even if you're a student living away for a semester or two. Have a cash backup set aside. You never know what could happen, even if it was an accident. This is coming from personal experience. :)

3 - You can make a difference. One voice gets it started.

Hello All

Well, I haven't really blogged since the 11th grade, when it was required for us to and we kind of got all caught up in the joyness of it, and life was really good and happy and ultimately care-free. But one of my roommates has a blog that she devotedly updates, along with all the rest of her family and their respective blogs, and it just brought back all the memories and fun that I used to have with blogging. I know I'm not a good writer, but this should be something fun to have to write about anything that just might be on my mind like I used to, and that maybe would be fun for you to read.

So blogger people out there in the world who happen to run into my blog - enjoy! This is the first post of my....4th ever blog (ha ha), so hello, and good-bye, until I decide to get back on and write some more.
