Elton John > Politics

I know this isn't anything new, and that billions of people have had this revelation before...therefore, blogging about it seems kind of redundant, similar to how blogging feels in general, haha. I mean...does anybody REALLY care what happened to you today? Maybe not, maybe so, I don't know. And I'm not criticizing people with blogs. Obviously, I have a blog, and I talk about what happened to me today. It's just a funny thing, blogging. It's like saying "Hello cyberspace, this is me and this is what I did today and this is what I think." Which is cool, I'm totally down with all of those things. It's just odd, that's all.

Anyway, here's what I was thinking. There has a been a lot of hubbub (is that how you spell it? Is that even a phrase, or did I make it up?) about Obama and his new healthcare policies or whatever...I don't even know what it's all about, and I really don't care. Call me ignorant, naive, whatever...as far as I'm concerned, it takes awhile for Obama's policies to directly affect me, if they even directly affect me at all. I know the economy is in shambles or whatever, and I won't say that that hasn't affected me...but gas prices have been high since I got my freaking license anyway, so even though I'd totally be down with some cheaper petroleum, it's not like I'm unaccustomed to higher prices. And I don't eat vegetables, buy clothing, or gamble...so, monetarily, I'm pretty solid. I'm rambling. Here's muh point. Every morning (or, perhaps more accurately, every afternoon) I wake up, check my facebook, and someone else has joined some anti-Obama group. And I think to myself "Wow, that's effective." Because, let's be honest, it isn't. It doesn't matter if you hate it when you wake up in the morning and Barack Obama is president, because he IS the president, and you can't change that, at least not very quickly. Or, even better...the great "IMPEACH OBAMA!" group. And replace him with who?! John McCain?! Great plan. I know that these are risky statements to make while living in the South, but come on people. Be serious. You don't have to agree with the man, you don't have to like him, but don't be an idiot about it. Do you REALLY think that if Texas seceded from the United States we would be better off?! REALLY?! That's insane! We tried that once, and it didn't exactly work out, if you recall. Now, don't get me wrong...I dislike extreme liberal views just as much as I dislike extreme conservative views. I'm just not surrounded by liberals, so I don't have as much to say about them. And please, please, PLEASE do not take this is a personal bashing or anything. You are 100% entitled to have your own opinions, and I respect that.

Anyway, that is the first and last blog that I will ever write about politics, because they are stupid and ruin lives. The end.


Guess who's going to see Elton John on Friday?! THIS GUY!!
