I Wish

Sometimes I wish we could just leave and walk through nature's beauty again.

Ron Paul

Ron Paul appears to be the only candidate campaigning in California - at least he's the only guy running radio spots. I like his latest:

- Ron Paul favors a strong nationtal defense.
- Ron Paul would not close any domestic military bases.
- Ron Paul supports stealth warriors to hunt down terrorists dead or alive.
- Ron Paul would secure borders.
- Ron Paul would ban student visa for terrorist nations.
- Ron Paul would end government spending that continues to put us in debt to China and Saudi Arabia.
- Ron Paul has the highest donations among all candidates from active military members.

I really like that part about 'stealth warriors.'

CNN Radio

CNN does the news updates for the talk station I listen to in the morning, yesterday they capped off a two minute hourly update with:

"...and Pat Robertson has weighed in on the new year, saying that God told him 2008 will be filled with global conflict, and there will be a recession."

...what? That's not news. Why not just say: "...and Bill, from Washburn, North Dakota, has said that his dog told him that the sun will rise in the east and set in the west."

The Gym

This is by far the worst time of year to go to the gym, everyone in the world made their resolutions to get healthy and fit, and that's great. The problem is that the gym is just packed with those people right now, and I hate going. I go to the gym at least three times a week, I've done it long enough now so it's just habit. If it wasn't though, if I was just trying to start again right now, I think I'd quickly stop too, it's hard to get equipment and hard to find space to do your work. So if your new years resolution is to get fit, go running, or walking, or bike riding until March, then go to the gym, it will be a much better experience.
