Wow, how time flies. Yes, it's been some time since I last posted something on my blog. I have no major reasons why I haven't posted anything new, just the typical B.S: tired, lack of time, busy taking care of life, blah, blah, blah. I will admit, though, the biggest cause has been the lack of motivation. It's not like there haven't been major events and topics for me to talk about. We all know a lot has happened: Obama won the election, former President Bush got a bailout bill to go through Congress, President Obama was inaugurated (we were there to witness that one), the stimulus bill was just signed, Israel went to war with Gaza and many more. I just can't seem to get myself back into writing, which is ironic because this is why I started this 'blog' in the first place - to get better at writing.
With all that is going on you would think I have a lot to say.
I am hoping this post will help me get motivated once again.
Here's hoping.
Thanks for giving me your time.
Always me, Luis

Yes, WE Can!!!
Today is one of the most historic days I will experience in my lifetime.
I am asking each of you who read this blog (all two of you - lol) to please consider your vote. With the two wars we are engaged in, a failing economy, an education system in disarray, a healthcare system that is short of a joke, the decision we make today will have a tremendous impact in our country's future.
It's no secret I will be voting for Barack Obama. Although I rather you do the same, I will not try to persuade you with this post. I am begging, yes begging, you all to VOTE!!!
Vote for who you think will lead this country in the right direction.
Make sure your friends and family vote too. All our votes count. It matters. More than you think.
Lets get ready to make history.

Unity
The next President of the United States needs to work on uniting this country. I am sick and tired of the divide that is ripping through this country. Left, right, conservative, liberal, red, blue, Republicans, Democrats - I can continue with labels for ever. Enough. People are taking this to the extreme.
Obama said it best in one of his speeches - "We are not a red America, we're not a blue America. We are the United States of America".
UNITED!
One of the many reasons Obama will get my vote on election day is the belief I have in him to unite this country.
Just listen to him speak.
He is inspirational, one of the many qualities the President of the United States should posses in order to make this country that much better. This country cannot be fixed by our government alone. It requires all of us to do our part to make it better.
Join me on Nov 4 to make this country better.

Selfish Republicans!
Lets face it - taxes suck! Do I want to continue paying? Of course I do, but I must stress that our government needs to use our hard earned money more wisely. I don't want it spent on things that do not make our country stronger and more prepared to face an ever changing future. Those days of spending $20,000 on a hammer should be over. We need to hold members of congress more accountable in how they squander our money.
Now I want to talk about Republicans. During this Presidential campaign both candidates have used taxes as one of their points on how to fix the current economic crisis we are going through - from Wall Street to Main Street.
They each have their own take on helping out the middle class, but I won't get into all the details in this rant.
What I do want to talk about is how selfish I think Republicans have been. They seem to be getting worse.
Throughout the Republican rallies one of the many messages the MCain/Palin ticket pushes is 'Country First!' I am all for Country First. What pisses me off is how hypocritical they are. They stand there screaming 'Country First!' but at the same time complain about not wanting to pay taxes.
How often do we hear McCain yell out how Obama wants to 'spread the wealth'? They eat that shit up!!
So let me ask these Republicans: How do you expect to improve our infrastructure, our roads, continue funding the two wars we are engaged in, take care of our veterans, improve our education system and fix the current state of our broken health care system? Taxes!!! That's how you idiots!!
I reiterate: Taxes Suck! Lets be honest, no one really likes to pay them, but again I ask, "How do you expect our country to be more prepared and become stronger?!?" Are Republicans really that selfish?!? It seems that they are.

Why So Much Hatred?
I came across this article from Time (http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1830590,00.html). It talks about how there are some people who think Obama is the anti-Christ. Are you kidding me?!?
He's been an Arab, a muslim, a terrorist and now the Anti-Christ? What's next? Well if we get our way: President of the United States!
This article made me take more notice on the negative campaigning the Republican candidates are indulging in. Sarah Palin in particular. She is stirring up the Republican base with lies which has turned hateful. Is this hatred really necessary?!? Now, don't get me wrong, the Obama/Biden camp has delved into negative campaigning as well, albeit not as intense as the McCain camp, but no hatred has come of it.
On various news channels and on the internet you hear people yelling out, "Off with his head", "Kill him", "Terrorist!". Why? What's the purpose of this? These are the same people who dare call themselves the only true patriots of this country and holy christians. Hypocrites!!! Do they not know what being a real American and Christian is or is there interpretation
I realize a lot of this rhetoric is racially motivated. Lets face it, the demographic at these Republican rallies are predominantly white. Don't get me wrong, I am not, in any way, trying to imply that all Republicans are racists, but I am willing to bet my left nut those statements were spewed out by a white person. Again, I ask, "Why?"
The direction the Republican campaign is heading scares and worries me. What's next? I hope we don't find out.
