She’s back folks! My trusty steed; spirited and ready to carry me to adventures in far-off worlds. She’s a silver, 1998, Volvo cross country, and man do I love driving this car. I have NO idea where or when this picture was taken, other than it was sometime during the summer of 2002 in Boston, on a day which may or may not have been this guy’s birthday.
While waiting for the shipping company to deliver the car, I spent most of my time fiddling around with this site. For those of you visited during the day (not many I’m sure) you might’ve noticed random navigation menus and various borders appears and disappearing. The explanation for that is I’m a newbie and I have no other way to test my changes other than to make them live. That’s a little annoying, especially when I mess something up that takes 2 hours to fix (that actually happened, by the way – I hope you people appreciate the thin dotted bottom border on the right sidebar!)
In any event, it might’ve all been for naught since I’m seriously considering trashing the current layout and going for something entirley new (or at least, significantly revamping it in some way). Other things on my to-do list for this blog include incorporating some RSS feeds and changing the html_wrap for the gallery.
Okay on to politics
… afterall, that’s what blogs are supposed to be about right? Or something? Anyway, I don’t have much to say, other than to comment on Al Sharpton’s disastrous speech last night. What the hell was that? I don’t think one second of that speech was aimed at the independent swing voters who will be determining the outcome of this election (assuming that the media doesn’t discover any electronic voting scandals). Yes, I love hearing people bash our commander in chief just as much as the next liberal, but unfortunately that doesn’t help Kerry win the election. You don’t make a man look better than his opponent by derailing the character of his opponent – you only make him look not as bad. I agree that Al Sharpton had a very important message behind his speech, but he buried it in so much anti-Bush rhetoric that even I got frustrated. ME!
I suppose it’s all well and good. No matter what happens, Kerry will pick up 10 points after the DNC, lose them in a few weeks, then the same will happen for Bush after the RNC, and come November we’ll be exactly we were when all of this started – wanting to move to Canada.
