:: Current thought process at this very moment ::
Can you fall in love with somebody that you have never met? I mean, you've seen pictures of them, and talked to them via email/IM/phone, but never met them in person. Is this technically love at first sight?

I know nobody really reads this, so it's pretty much a rhetorical question ;-)

I guess I am going to have to go to McDonald's more to support my future wife. :)

For the second time in my life, I'm in love. Haha :)

*Why Eric is happy, in a nutshell*

Bush wins election, and looks like he may "focus on his legacy", which will probably include things Democrats may like and ultra conservatives may not like.

It's NBA Basketball season -- so it means LAKER season. They aren't as good this year, but they will still compete and Kobe is looking out-of-this-world, so it's lots of fun!

Halo 2 comes out on Tuesday -- well, Monday night at midnight. ALL Tuesday is Halo!!!

Work is goooood but busy. "It's all about the money boys!" -- OK, not really, but I just love that line from a movie you BETTER know :).

We FINALLY ordered couches, which are going to be really nice. They are a nice neutral color, which will help when we finally paint -- which will happen soon after the couches are in.

View of my place from space!

I'll analyze the election stuff later, although I will say I will be content with whoever wins. Both bring different styles to the table, and perhaps both can be effective. The pro with Kerry is "perhaps the world won't hate the US so much", but I think that will be all in talk, with little help. From what I know, France & Germany are already on record saying they aren't sending troops to Iraq, so his whole "we will get them to help" platform is flawed from the start. Kerry running on the "we will go through the UN" is interesting, since basically nobody gives a shit about the UN in the US. Everyone has their own interests, so it's fairly pointless. But who knows... Kerry's voting record and him being the #1 liberal in the Senate is a little scary, and he will raise taxes, which is not fun, but maybe something good will come out if he wins. If Bush wins, I guess it's more of the same -- although I'm sure he's learned a lot from his mistakes. No President is perfect, and Bush has faced more than any President ever has. On a personal level, I feel Bush is more a "real guy" than Kerry is, but maybe the Democrats have just done a bad job in trying to show Kerry the "guy". Republicans are always more effective at getting their message out and the marketing of their people. Bottom line, I voted for Bush, but my vote is pointless since Kerry will carry Cali. But I did read a lot of anti-Bush articles and an anti-Bush book, and nothing persuaded me that Kerry is better. A lot of people are voting for Kerry because "he isn’t Bush". Well, I voted for Bush partially because he isn't Kerry, who I really don't have a clue on any of his positions.
