Have a Merry Boxing Day

1. I have decided that only two things will end me (and both involve fast food.) One, if Taco Bell ever decides to deliver. Two, if McDonald's ever makes their breakfast menu and all day thing. After an eye exam this morning, I felt the hunger pangs that I knew could only be cured by a McDonald's breakfast combo meal. I was right. Someday my wish will come true.

2. Am I the only one to notice that more and more of magazines, newspapers, and TV time is devoted to celebrity gossip. When I was little, I remember there were always the National Enquirers and the US Weeklys but now even the legitimate news sources lead off with an expose on Britney Spears' sister's baby's daddy.

3. Only 2% of registerd voters in Iowa and 1% in New Hampshire are African American. I am not so naive to think that it will take a slight miracle for him to win in those two states in the upcoming weeks despite, in my opinion, that he would make the best candidate. I would look for him to do really well though in the next couple of states (South Carolina and Florida.)

4. Damnit!! Why is it the older I get the more I look like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force?

5. Egypt has somehow trademarked the Sphinx and the Pyramids. They will require future royalties for any reproductions. I find this absolutely ridiculous and it is just another way for a corrupt government to get more money. Don't worry, I'm sure Egypt's ruling party will share all of the royalties with the people of Egypt...

6. President Bush just signed the 2008 Federal Government Budget Bill for a whopping 555 billion dollars. Of that, 77 billion will go for funding wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This does not include the rest of the military, just Iraq and Afghanistan. To put it in perspective, 28 of the 555 billion will be going toward domestic issues. When our more conservative friends complain that all of our money is going toward protecting the environment, the arts, or schools, I hope you use this as proof.

7. Today is December 26th and that means it is Boxing Day. According to Wikipedia, here is what Boxing Day: Boxing Day is a traditional celebration, dating back to the Middle Ages, and consists of the practice of giving out gifts to employees, the poor, or to people in a lower class to honor their god.

8. I had an absolutely wonderful Christmas. I hope so did all of you.
