What I Would Do If I Were President

If I were elected the president, I would definately try to fix some of the fuck-ups contributed by our previous one.  I would pull us out of Iraq immediately, we had no business there anyway.  I would try and change the public school system, mainly it’s lack of funding.  We need everything in public schools to be more standardized, and less of a difference inbetween schools.  I would also get rid of that “teaching alternatives to evolution” in science classes.  Our constitution states that there is a separation of church and state, so religion should NOT be a mandatory class in public schools.  I don’t mind if they offer religion as an elective or other optional class, it just can’t be something that is made mandatory.  I respect that some people have differing beliefs from me, but YOU WILL NOT force religion down the throats of children, when they are not capable of making a more informed decision.

Now back to my original topic, what changes I would make as president.  Another thing I would promote would be the use of the metric system.  I think that metrics make MUCH more sense, seeing as they are base 10, instead of base 12, 36, 5280, or whatever.

As president, I would try to pass a bill so that some of your tax money would go to developing countries, so they would think a bit more kindly to us :P

One last suggestion: I would promote unity, equality, and tolerance.  With the influx of immigrants, I think that we should try and respect immigrants; think about it, the first white people in North America were immigrants, and look what they did to the natives.

NoteSake

I just found out about the COOLEST web 2.0 app I’ve seen in a while: NoteSake.  It lets you enter in your notes from your classes, and sort, edit, and search them.  It also lets you collaborate between classmates, and share notes with them.  Now you never have an excuse for not studying!  My previous excuse was that I couldn’t read my own handwriting :P

Here is a link to their site, try it out!

My Birthday!

2007 Kia Spectra5 photographed in USA.Image via Wikipedia

My birthday is in two more days, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m turning 16, so I get a car!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I might get a Kia Spectra, but I’m not sure. I’m not one of those spoiled kids on MTV, I have to pay for my car, but my parents are paying for it upfront and I pay them back over time. I get my license the 25th, so I’ll be driving everywhere! The only thing I don’t like about this is gas prices today. How am I supposed to pay for gas, when minimum wage is about $7/hour? HALF of my paycheck goes to gas, and then taxes. I’ll be broke!

My Studio

Music is my life.  I have a need tocloseup of the studio play and listen to music, so I have my own recording studio.  I have about 17 guitars (never bothered to count :P ) a bass, 2 mandolins, and several amps.  My favorite piece of equipment has to be my Roland VS-2000CD.  It is a hard drive recorder that has 64 tracks and makes great mix downs.  My favorite guitar is my Gibson SG ‘61 reissue.  It has the BEST action, sound, and feel.  It’s just an all-around great guitar.  The studio is really messy at the moment, I haven’t really had time to organize it recently.  Come to think of it, I haven’t had time for recording much lately either.

Cubin’

I love to solve rubik’s cubes.  It makes me feel smart :D   All it takes to solve one is a good memory, and maybe some problem-solving skills.  I think my best time is currently 56 seconds……or somewhere in that ballpark.  It’s not as hard as most people think it is, it just takes practice.me cubin\'
