Nothing In My Way



There are certain songs that brillantly capture an emotion, situation, or period in the human experience. This is one of my favorite songs and I can't begin to explain the amount of times it has met me during the rough patches of my life.

Kite Boarder Gets Jacked Up

Kite Surfer Guy: "There's a tropical storm on the way. Hmmm, I think I'll grab my kite board and head for the beach."

What an idiot!

Joe Biden

In the wee hours of August 23rd, the news was leaked that Barack Obama selected Delawate Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate. Eager to introduce Biden to the American public, the McCain campaign just released a new web ad.

That was fast...

Broadcast Energy Transmitter

In a recent announcement, computer chip maker Intel presented a wireless energy transmitter that would eliminate the use of power cords for everyday electronic devices. Imagine placing your ipod or phone on your desk where it would charge up wirelessly! No more cords!

Hearing this news reminded me of a childhood classic of mine: G.I. Joe: The Movie. Perhaps the greatest animated movie of all time, Cobra-la and GI Joe struggled to control the Broadcast Energy Transmitter (BET). This machine provided wireless energy to anything in range of its beam.


We live in an amazing world! The impossible is now reality.

Trading Blows

Yesterday, both campaigns traded blows after a John McCain interview where he was unsure about how many homes he owned. The Obama campaign sprang into action and touted that McCain is "out of touch" with the American public because of his lavish lifestyle. You can watch the Obama ad here. A few short hours later, the McCain campaign responded with the ad below.


I personally think that it is a load of bologna. Both men are successful and enjoy privilaged lifestyles. For example, according to Obama's tax returns he earned over 4 million dollars last year alone! On the other hand, most of McCain's wealth comes from his wife Cindy and her family trust. In addition, McCain's homes are all listed under Cindy McCain's name and not her husband.

After a month of being pummeled by the McCain campaign, the Obama camp seized the opportunity to attack Sen. McCain. As Obama's poll numbers continue to plummet, it was a welcomed distraction to the campaign trail.

Can anyone provide a good reason why Speed Walking is an olympic sport??? Maybe in 2012, they can ask Mr. T to make things a little more interesting.
