I know that some of you think I forgot about this blog. In some ways I have, but I’m still around. Please feel free to catch me on Facebook. I know there are are some of you (Bruce & Melody) who don’t have Facebook.

Well folks - it’s time to catch up to the rest of the Internet! Once you have a Facebook account, go to my Facebook page and request me as a friend.

See you there!

Happy New Year 2009! Let’s hope it’s better than 2008.. but I doubt it.

In other news.. Steve and I are now officially sponsors for Sabaton, a power metal band from Sweden, for ProgPower USA 10 in September 2009. We’ve known about it for a few days, but it’s now been officially announced. So now I can gloat about it!

Is it Christmas already

Can’t believe that it will be Christmas soon.

I’ve been so busy that it snuck up on me this year.

Change the name of our country

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 16:43:00 +0000

If Obama is elected president, they might as well change the name of our country to the USSA - the United Socialist States of America - because that’s what it will become. Take from the “rich” and give to the poor. In other words, take from whose who are successful and give to those who didn’t work to get it.

Maybe it’s time to move to another country? Or form a separate country like we did back in the American Civil War?

Definately the two party system is flawed. There is no satisfaction from half the country when you have nearly 50% for one candidate and 50% for another. Time for a moderate party. Not libertarian, but a moderate party that can take from both sides of the aisle. Without cooperation, you’ll have separation. We have it now, and will have it for years to come. Electing the Dumbocraps won’t fix anything, regardless what kind of “change” they’re proposing.

So go vote, even though it probably won’t count.

Never forget

Always remember, never forget. Seven years ago today.

Foreign beer on our own soil

admin — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:13:07 +0000

Today I’ve learned that Anheuser-Busch has been sold to InBev, the largest beverage company in the world. The problem is that InBev is a foreign company, based in Belgium. So if this clears US regulatory, Bud and Bud light will now be owned by a European company.

This is just one more company eating away at America. More and more companies are being bought up and owned by companies outside the US. What’s next? Ford and GM? I’d bet on it. Not happy about it either.
