Governor Henry Has FAILED

The state of Arkansas will vote in November on whether or not to start a state lottery. I hope the citizens of Arkansas will do what Oklahomans didn't do and research the history of lotteries for education. They will have to look no further than their neighbors to the west who have a failing lottery ran by a failure of a governor. Brad Henry is a sick joke. He was elected for one reason and that reason is failing. He once said that the lottery would bring in $500 million a year!!! Well that total is now $69 million, 30% of which goes to the state. The lottery has failed, Henry has failed, and Oklahoma has failed because they elected this crook twice. Democrats ruined education during their 80 years of congressional control and now they are digging the hole even deeper from the states highest office. Henry should have been impeached years ago, but instead we fall farther and farther behind other states. Henry will go down as the WORST Governor in Oklahoma history. Somewhere Steve Largent is sitting there laughing at the failure that is Brad Henry, but yet crying at the thought of how many kids go to substandard schools because of the lies of one man and the greed of the clueless citizens who voted for the fool.

Shopping Is Hard

I don't like to shop, but sometimes if you really need/want something you have to put in the time and effort to find what you really need/want. In my case it is a new pair of glasses. I've been wearing these same glasses for about 5-6 years and figure that it is time for a new pair. I went to the mall this weekend with two friends. One of them was looking for glasses as well so we were focused on the task at hand. Once we got there I was a little overwhelmed. My friend started trying on pairs immediately, but I took my time. I hadn't thought about wire type frames or the big plastic type. These are very contrasting styles and I hadn't thought about it. I wear the wire type right now, but think a change could be good. To make a long story short I tried on a million pairs of glasses and got some quality feedback from my friends. Its always nice when people are flat out honest with you. They told me the ones they liked and the ones they didn't. There was no gray area.

Here's what I'm thinking though. I need a female opinion. The two friends who went with me were both guys. I think it will be good to get a female opinion to contrast with the male opinion. I want to make the purchase in the next few weeks, but I have trouble committing. These glasses are like an old friend. It will be hard to say goodbye, but it must happen. It will be uncomfortable, but it must happen.

Cool Things and Not So Cool Things

Well the semester has almost reached the halfway point. I have a midterm exam on Monday, which is weird because it seems like the semester just started. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about this, but its really starting to sink in that I will be graduating in May. Graduation has always seemed like some far off mystical land that doesn't really exist, but I am finding out that it does actually exist. Hell of a feeling!

This is going to get random now...

So I was at work last night and saw a GUY with breast implants. Yep, you read that correctly.....BREAST IMPLANTS. This was brought to the attention of a small group of coworkers (not in the presence of the boobs guy) who all immediately kind of smiled and said "no way" or "yeah right". But they quickly found out that it was indeed true. Their responses quickly changed to "gross" or "sick". This guy was in the middle of switching genders and his body was rejecting the effort. I won't go into great detail, but things weren't working like he thought they would and the resulting infections and such were not pretty. So for anyone looking at switching genders or something over the weekend you might want to think about the damage you are doing to your body. But hey, if you are really thinking about switching genders the real thing you need to worry about is your mind. Seek help. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

Now you can go tell everyone you read a blog that had graduation and fake man boobs in the same post!

I'm back. I had to come back and add something to this. Just ran across this link on the DrudgeReport and it pissed me off. Add this mental midget to the list of actors/actresses I won't pay money to see. Shocking that she is French....
