Journey of figuring out who to vote for

We have a year to figure out who the best candidate is for president of our country. I'm on a search and interested politically more then ever now in my life then in the past. I've narrowed down my personal prospects down to long time favorite Ron Paul; a very impressive man of integrity, Mike Huckabee; and my dearest and longest friend's favorite, Barrack Obama.

I picked up a copy of Huckabee's book, Character Makes a Difference. It's very ingaging, I'm enjoying learning from Huckabee. The more I hear and read about him the more I am impressed. He believes that family is the backbone of our country, more important than what any law writing politician can do for our nation.

Ron Paul is extremely intelligent and has amazed me with his weekly newsletter I've been on for a couple years now. He pretty much wants a minimized government and is extremely all about the constitution. I think our country would be radically changed for the better if either of these two men are voted President.

Barrack Obama is my friends favorite candidate, I want to check him out, not just because of my friend, but he is also the senator of the state of Illinois, where I live. He has gotten a lot of attention the short term he has been senator.

So I look forward to getting copies of all these candidates books and updating my blog with what I'm thinking about. Huckabee is the most impressive so far and I will probably vote for him if I had to right now. I joined his newsletter and his Vertical Day. I have added a link to his website, click the button below for more info.

Aquarium to Vivarium



Here's pictures of my vivarium (in other words an aquarium with no fish in it). It has a waterfall, a driftwood. It has these plants: Bromeliads, Begonia, Mikada; and in the water: water lettuce and duckweed; also has moss and chicory covering the floor. The moss was scooped out from underneath the displays at Jamaican Gardens for free, so all kinds of stuff came to life when I put it into 100% humid vivarium. It has fleas, crane flies, and ram horn snails.
I hope to add poison dart frogs soon. Not sure which species to pick out, probably one of the more bolder species that don't climb so much.

Paintball dreams




Picture of me playing paintball. My home field, Promisedland.com paintball, opens in April, I hope to have fresh pics and vids of my crew I run with then. We've been playing for about 14 years, so this field we know all the angles and best strategy. I hope to have narrated video footage, interviews of my best friends and extreme action of paintball that you won't find anywhere else.
