America is in line at the airport. America has its shoes off, is carrying a rubberized bin, is going through a magnetometer. America is worried there is fungus on the floor after a million stockinged feet have walked on it. But America knows not to ask. America is guilty until proved innocent, and no one wants to draw undue attention. America left its ticket and passport in the jacket in the bin in the X-ray machine, and is admonished. America is embarrassed to have put one one-ounce bottle too many in the see-through bag. America is irritated that the TSA agent removed its cologne, opened it, put it to her nose, and smelled it. Why don't you put it up your nose and see if it explodes? America thinks.

We are America... I am America...

Colin made a post the other day that caught my attention, it was of a political poster for Obama. Now I keep up on politics. I care about our country deeply and the state it's in. This year I have taken the time to educate myself on all candidates, both republican and democratic.

I think that the current government, being the Bush and Cheney regime, are war mongering, murdering terrorist who only have one thing in mind... the money machine. I find it ironic that the two people running the country both came from the oil industry. If anyone of you haven't noticed yet, but gas prices are historically high and the oil companies are reporting record profits. Yet, with all the huge profit being made off you and I with false supply rumors, the government is still subsidizing the oil companies! Why are our tax dollars going toward oil executives pay checks? Hmm... I wonder if that has anything to do with Mr. Bush and Mrs. Cheney.

I am officially off my soapbox.

So I've made my finally decision for my vote. Should Obama get the democratic nomination, he will get my vote. And it's not because of his politics. Depressingly, I believe that no matter who is in office no changes will be made. I don't think Obama will be better that Mcain nor Hiliary. Here is why I'm voting for Obama...... The mofo looks like Will Smith.

To me that means Obama has all the following qualities by default:

1. he has a ton of military experience (Independence Day)
2. should aliens invade our military will have some sweet new weapons (Men In Black)
3. gay marriage will finally be legalized (Six Degrees of Separation)
   
4. who about DJ Jazzy Jeff for Secretary of Defense
   
5. can anyone say Vice President Martin Lawrence (Bad Boys I & II)
6. every Tuesday is now Carlton Dance Tuesday (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)
7. he can keep Texas under control (Wild Wild West)
8. he's got the golf thing down (Legend of Bagger Vance)
9. he's a pimp (Hitch)
10. his mad skills with numbers means no more recession (The Pursuit of Happiness)
11. he float like a butterfly and stings like a bee (Ali)
12. his wife (Jada Pinkett Smith) was in The Matrix so he is 50% hacker/ninja
13. I'm thinking Uncle Phil as Attorney General (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)
14. the National Anthem would start out with... In West Philadelphia....
15. he already knows parent just don't understand
16. and finally... he's Fresh and a Prince (royalty)

but here are the top 10 reasons of why Peri shouldn’t let me make any wedding decisions.

1. What about a wedding cake from Costco?
2. Does that tux come in a Utah Jazz/Green Bay Packers motif?
3. How do you feel about hitting up a Red Sox game for the honeymoon?
4. What’s a Cow Lily?
5. What’s a Lily?
6. Can we serve corndogs at the reception?
7. Let’s register at Home Depot.
8. Do you think the cruise line TV’s get ESPN?
9. Will the wedding reception have an xBox? (the answer is yes)
10. Wedding invitations? Can’t we just send out emails?

I’m proving to be a typical male when it comes to this stuff and she is proving to be a typical female. I don’t mind making decisions. But the truth is about most wedding stuff is, I just don’t really care. Now I care deeply about getting married. But I really don’t have an opinion on what flowers arrangements we should have. That’s like asking most girls, “Who do you want to watch, Packers or Chargers” (correct answer is always Packers). The fact is women don’t care about that.

Besides, my opinions are always wrong. Example question:

You have 4 choices of cake, please pick which one you like best.

A. the round green one
B. the square white one
C. the square yellow one
D. the round red one

Now I’ve overheard Peri talking about the white on for weeks. So I look over all 4 of the pictures and carefully and confidently pick the white on. Her response is as follows, “yeah I like that one but I was hoping you would pick E” as she whips out the secret 5th photo. That being:

E. the round ivory one with an inset design of red Daisies on the first layer, inset red Lilies on the second layer and inset red Roses on the top layer


Poor Peri.
