You're The Guns of August!

by Barbara Tuchman

Though you're interested in war, what you really want to know is what
causes war. You're out to expose imperialism, militarism, and nationalism for what they
really are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past and have a hard time dealing
with what's going on today. You're also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in
the world. A fitting motto for you might be "Guns do kill, but so can
diplomats."

Do I know how to have fun or WHAT? I have held off blogging since New Years Day for a few reasons. First and foremost to keep the Year in Review at the top so people will see it first. That is just below this blog so just scroll down for that. Second because I've been busy with a project. Yes boys and girls its that time of the year where we completely erase our Hard Drives and reinstall our OS. I usually do this annually, but I have put it off for 6 mo. Why do it at all? 1) It speeds up the computer dramatically. 2) It gets rid of tons of programs you don't use or may have forgotten you even have. 3) Eliminates library files and TSR's that sit around Chunking up your RAM or HD. Why I don't like doing this: It is remarkably scary. There is always the real possibility that some conflict will arise and you won't be able to put your computer back together. This time around the scare was that the second drive was not recognized. I had to re...

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Anybody but Bush.. not for me I plan to vote FOR John Kerry in November. Not against Bush. Here are a few reasons why taken directly from his position papers. Again this information is blatantly taken directly from his position papers, not articles about him or interpretations of analysts or Sunday Talking Heads. I encourage anyone who is going to vote in this election to go to the site (in research we call it primary source material) and decide for yourself. John Kerry Website This candidate has postions on issues important to the american public today. Many more are listed on this site I hope everyone in this election votes FOR someone. Be it Bush, Kerry or Nader. On Iraq Kerry believes that we don't need a President who will walk away from the world or a President who will walk alone. He believes that we need a President who will lead the nations of the world into a new era of security, freedom, and peace. Kerry believes that capturing Saddam Hussein...
