polygamy

Polygamy has come to be known as a disturbing practice to many americans. The thought of somebody having many spouses disgusts millions yet it continues to happen. my view is if people are happy then let them be. if the people involved accept that as theyre way of life then let them live like that. Polygamy existed all over Africa as an aspect of culture or/and religion. Plural marriages have been more common than not in the history of Africa. Many African societies saw children as a form of wealth thus the more children a family had the more powerful it was. Thus polygamy was part of empire building. It was only during the colonial era that plural marriage was perceived as taboo. i may not be one to practice this myself but they have a right to persuit of happiness. just as gay rights are fought for i beleive polygamy should be fought for as well

poor

in this age the word poor can be described more by the actions of the government than by the people who actually are poor. people who would have been wealthy through hard work have been drained by taxes to the point where they are defined as "poor". how can the government take all this money from those who work just to "help" those who dont work, who wont even try to make it in life. with these bailouts thats just what theyre doing. all thses extra taxes just to pay big business men and selfish union workers

bailouts

the government intends to to pay over 700 billion to failing mortgages. this action has already brought up the economy and increased the price of stocks on wall street. it really seems like a blessing doesnt it. oh but guess what. with this act now the tax payers will be cleaning up more of bushes crap for generations. even though we already haveto pay a huge deficit now we can add on another $700 billion. kudos bush, you continue to destroy us right to the end. i understand that the end, even though i will be dead long before, justifies the means. but we cant handle this at the moment. its already hard to get jobs or find a decent home. it really doesnt help that businesses are hiring younger people to get out of paying more to employees. this is all pulling in younger generations that dont know what they have to do just by having this job. where does this leave the rest of us? we get our lives ruined and haveto live in the streets.

up at the crack of dawn

Not entirely sure why but here i am. at the moment it is 7:44 A.M. Its one of those days where im wide awake early and i have nothing to do but think. My first thought was that... ok like 5th thought..anyway, was I have started to wander and add other blogs to follow other than my classmates so i should maybe describe that im in a web design class and up until now all of my blogs have been rants about various topics given to me by a teacher. So now that thats done you can see the sporadic way my mind works. my next thought, while still keeping on minor topic, was that i should be marking down some of the more interesting recipes in my blog so others can try them. I suppose i could take requests and find a recipe for people too. Another thought, what is the weather going to be like today. I would really like to play tennis. I also wonder when theyre going to put some matches on cable. I cant watch any pro matches because they only cover them on the tennis channel. Another random thought. If i had cleaned out my coffee pot i could be drinking coffee right now. I should really clean my room its getting messy. Well you get the idea. a lot of random stuff and of course this wasnt everything.

my weekend

This weekend was very eventful. It started with a packed friday. After a long day at school i spent most of my afternoon trying to find money for the night. After i few hours i had made about $30. More than i thought i would get. I hurried to the football game to freeze while i waited for the band to finish. More waiting for jake than the whole band. after putting everything away we headed to marquette for a night of "fun". First off was applebees. We spent a good time humiliating matta and messing with the waitress. Gotta say, birthdays are fun at applebees. After leaving a nice tip and alans number we went to the casino. A quick registration to the double eagle and we hit the machines. My first couple spins were great. First spin i got around 260 credits. Second spin almost 400. If my whole night whent this way i would have been rich. Sadly it didnt. After that i started losing hard core. To add to the sting after i was done with a machine jake, alan, or champs would take it and win big. Just my luck. I ended up leaving $20 down. i later spent the night with tyler and john. click tylers to see wht happened
My friday was just as annoying. I managed to hear wrong about the time for the tennis tournament this weekend so i was up at 7:30. After waiting for everyone to wake up i finally found out the real time was at noon. Pretty bad mix up right? anyway, the tournament. coed doubles with me and larissa as a team. We failed worse than i did the night before at the casino. By the end our wins were 1-5. Obviously me and lirissa are not a good team. Even though we lost at the end i got to take all the good balls so at least i got something. The day went by slow with nothing going on. By night i was just getting a small workout and watching a few fights, rampage vs. griffin, Ending my night by finally seeing griffin take the title.
Sunday mainly consisted of some light cooking and sitting on my butt all day. Thus ending my exciting weekend
