Obama it Is. 2008 Presidential Election

Since the election has been over, many of the things I have heard from my peers is how the world is coming to an end and how many of them want to flee the country and move to countries such as Canada or Australia (Yes, lets move to countries that are more socialist because Obama is going to ruin America and turn it into a socialist government, so I need to get out). I find it humorous to read or hear these idiotic comments. Its comments like these that make me wonder how these people got into college or how they made it this far in life. WAKE UP PEOPLE and think about what you are saying. The world is not coming to an end just because McCain didn’t win the presidency.

In this blog I would like to share my feelings on the next four years and how Obama will handle his presidency. First, I believe Obama needs to pull us out of this economic crisis and this issue should be the first thing he focuses on when he becomes president. I also believe he will pull us out of the war in Iraq. My take is to keep them over there, because by pulling out we admit defeat even though we have experienced some success. These are the first two issues I believe Obama will tackle first.

After these two issues are solved Obama will then tackle some of his policies he talked about during his campaign, such as health care and energy. I don’t think he will focus on energy because we won’t see the effects for quite some time. The American people want to see results and if Obama is going for a second term as president, energy might not be the best choice because we won’t see the results. Personally, this is how I believe Obama will handle his first term as president of the United States.

One other prediction I believe will happen during the next four years is that America could experience another terrorist attack. Obama will experience a big test early in his presidency. I would like to thank PRESIDENT BUSH for keeping us safe the last 7 years (Hopefully Obama will do the same), and believe he did a fine job during his presidency in spite of some mistakes.

In closing, I would like to say congrats to President Obama on his presidency and wish him and America the best the next four years.

ENERGY DRINKS!!!! MONSTER ENERGY BABY!!!!

If you know me, you know that I love energy drinks!!!! My MOM and DAD can attest to this: Before every semester they take me to Costco and buy me a 24 pack (Don't worry parents I still have 3 left). :). Most people drink energy drinks for the kick (never feel it), but I drink it for the flavor. MONSTERS are my favorite, I just love the flavor and can never get enough. My favorite flavors are the classic green (Monster Energy) and the M-80 (Oahu baby). O my gosh they are good.


The times when I have to have a monster:

1. Road Trips!!!!!! (BFC)
2. Snowboarding!!!
3. Late-night Movies!!!!
4. When I feel like drinking one!!! (At night mostly)
5. Sometimes at school!!!!


Drinking energy drinks the past two years I have heard many reasons on why they are bad for you. But after looking at the nutrition content, energy drinks are no more worse for you than having a pop, soda, or whatever you people call it. Pop actually has more sugar if you look at, who wants to drink this 5-hour energy crap. Stick to the good stuff. MONSTER BABY!!!!! UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!!!!! I DO!!!!!!!

Vegas Trip




















My thoughts and feelings on my younger sister Carissa getting married.....

One would think when a younger sibling gets married before an older one, the older sibling would be overcome with feelings of jealousy and resentment (Elaine being jealous of George, kind of the same thing, lol :). With me I don't have these feelings. Being at BYU-Idaho the term marriage is thrown around and mentioned a lot. Yes, I agree marriage is a good thing but I also believe their is a time and place for it. I guess you can say it is not on my top priority list at the moment. Most of my concentrations go towards pursuing my career and getting through school. I also say to myself that I am too immature to get married, but I guess so is everyone. Yes, I date and try to look but I guess I haven't yet met that special someone that I would want to spend the rest of my life with.

One would think that I do have feelings of resentment and jealousy just from writing this blog (thinking I am the one that is supposed to get married), but I don't. Yes, I am very excited for my younger sister, Carissa, who is getting married over Thanksgiving to Mr. Wyatt Morgan. WAY TO GO BRO!!!! I think she chose a keeper, lol. I couldn't pick a better brother in law. Anyways, way to go you two and may everyone LIVE EVER EVER AFTER.
