So I’ve been busy moving into a new apartment, and setting stuff up. I just purchased the Samsung LN46A550, after searching the reviews on Amazon. It is easily the best television I have ever owned, and I’ve only had it a few days.
Who should I vote for in this next presidential election?
This presidential election may be a decisive one in American culture and history as a whole. With gas prices rising, the economy weakening, and international relations “on the fence”, who should we vote for?
Violence in Video Games: A Speech

Where do we go after we’re gone?
As you can probably tell, I have been very reflective as of late, and I’ve come to wonder a lot of the facets of life. There are too many things that happen that are coincidence, so I tend to think something is out there in the universe.
