Well this is my first retraction. I talked to my buddy about the DUI and he said “he was like 2 over”, a figurative thing, like “I was going like 2 over the speed limit” (so not a literal 0.082 or even 0.10, but possibly a 2.08 I suppose). We actually have no idea what he came in at, so maybe he was 3 sheets to the wind. They aren’t nice enough to just tell you your score I guess. Kind of like how the credit score agencies aren’t nice enough to just call you and tell you that your identity has been stolen. So anyway, sorry about the mixup and I hope it didn’t mess up the RSS feed, but I didn’t want to be the source of misinformation, so I went ahead and just changed the original post (I’ll avoid doing that in the future). The rest of the article is of course 100% factually accurate

I decided to post a few quick maps of where I’ve been:
create your own personalized map of the USA
or write about it on the open travel guide
create your own visited country map
or write about it on the open travel guide
create your own personalized map of Canada
or write about it on the open travel guide
The most fun places by far were Idaho (home state), Illinois (college), and Costa Rica (visited my friend Zack). Most of my family on my mom’s side lives in Nebraska. California and New York were cool, but I didn’t get enough time there to form much of an impression. I was in DC pre-9/11 and remember an entirely different city than the militarized hell hole we know and love today. Costa Rica was a surreal happy place, like the US in the 60’s/70’s, before we lost our innocence to the robber barons and media. I have been in a balance of so called red states and blue states, and I have to say that the people in democratic strongholds seem to be much more spiritually enlightened than those in red states. Curiously, the land and environment are much better in republican strongholds. I think the people there take it for granted, which is why they devote so little attention to environmental or social causes. They have an abundance of resources that people in cities may never understand.

Well, the world has changed dramatically (for the worse) since I graduated from college in the late 90’s and it is time to get the word out. This blog will be arranged like a news source (like slashdot or to some degree igeek). I’m going to tell it how it is on everything from politics to science to geeking to dating. A few details about myself: I am 27, a recovering geek, I am an extreme moderate slightly to the left, I think very little happens by accident and see orchastrated mayhem in all aspects of american life. The current administration is made up of robber barons that work under the guise of idiots. I like to be awakened to the fact that I am wrong, so feel free to dish out criticism.
