Well...the day is finally here. Well tomorrow but it's still "here." By Wednesday morning I'll either be happy as hell or planning my escape to another country. I have made it no secret that I plan on voting for Barack Obama. He speaks to me in ways that McCain can't and there's no better way to show this than through music. I love imeem because I love finding new music. Especially when I don't have to pay for it. The site put together the Top 10 songs for each candidate based off of interviews they did with music magazines, events, etc. Pretty cool idea. I've embedded Obama's playlist below. There's also a link to McCain's if you really want to check it out...

McCain's playlist can be found here. Dancing Queen? Really McCain?

GO VOTE EVERYONE!!!

It's no secret that I'm a nerd in many respects. I play video games, read comic books and graphic novels, like sci-fi, fantasy and hope that someday I will own a lightsaber. One thing I touched for a small amount of times were MMOs or MMORPGs. For those that don't speak nerd talk, think World of Warcraft. Now I played WoW for about a month because I wrote a paper on the effects of online gaming on social skills in college but I never delved into it. There is on thing I can't deny though, films made in WoW are hilarious. If you never saw the "Make Love, Not Warcraft" episode of South Park, watch it now. It was nominated for an emmy!

Anyway, if a movie is made in a game is referred to as Machinima and I came across this one the other day that focuses on the election. In the clip, several players are interviewed and polled about their voting choices for the election. Not a bad idea considering 11 million people play Warcraft.

Election Duel! Obama V. McCain - Who Get's Pwned?

I think it's really cool how this election is playing out. So much of it is based on the internet that it's inspiring. Just imagine what the 2012 election is going to be like!

Go Obama!

What a great answer...that's the point.

The difference between Obama and Clinton

Now I know this is old news apparently but I never heard of this until now. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama when asked if he ever inhaled marijuana responded, "I never understood that question. I inhaled. That's the point." Honesty man! Honesty. I love it. I've been very back and forth with Hilary and Barack but his honesty about such a controversial topic was almost comforting. A better description of Sen. Obama's feelings on marijuana were explained in Iowa. Watch the video here.

I have to agree with Sen. Obama here. I'll admit to inhaling...and quite often too. It's my feeling that a substance like marijuana is far less harmful than alcohol. I mean, yes, it is a drug that can bring some people down. But it also has so many positive effects. It can reduce pain for those with disabilities that suffer from chronic pain, it helps those undergoing chemo feel less nauseated, and it solves the common "I drink myself stupid" hangover. I have a lot of first hand research on the latter.

But in all seriousness, I agree with Obama's statements on its usage and its just another sign that Obama is just a little more in touch with the youth market. It's taboo for the older generation but not ours because many of us have been around pot and have been completely fine. I can think of several people who inhaled quite frequently and still had a "A" or "B" average. Marijuana doesn't make you stupid. If you get lazy and detached when you smoke it, then maybe you shouldn't.

If the drug were legalized, just saying, I think the country would be a better place. At least more peaceful but probably even more obese. We wouldn't be spending millions of dollars a year fighting the war on weed (fight against cocaine and heroin...I'm fine with that) and incarcerating people for possession. The amount of money the government could make off legalization would be astounding!

My favorite act of "disturbing the peace"

I was once accused of "disturbing the peace" when I was caught with some friends inhaling mary j. If you've ever smoked pot you know that the only peace you're disturbing is a bag of some tasty Ruffles Sour Cream & Onion potato chips....hmmmmmmmmmm. Chips...

As for you multitaskers and intoxicators, enjoy your marijuana. Maybe you can light up with Obama one day.

Word to change.
