  I’ll fully admit my goal has been to finish my Masters in political science by Christmas and then head east to a dream job inside a state I truly believe to be the prettiest I’ve ever laid eyes upon. However, that’s not being completely honest. My ultimate dream is to not only have [...]

  I had my wisdom teeth removed on Monday and consequently have been hopped up on painkillers ever since. I desperately want to start doing research on my thesis (I haven’t come up with a specific topic but it’s going to be along the lines of religious voting) but I’m in too much pain to [...]

  Call it schadenfreude. Call it me being an asshole. But I’ve waited a long time for this. Mel Gibson’s wife has filed for divorce. No, I haven’t been wishing for bad things to happen to Mel Gibson, and I wasn’t hoping his marriage would end. I’ve been patiently waiting for [...]

  Tomorrow the newspaper in Kalamazoo, the Kalamazoo Gazette, will publish an editorial I contributed recently. I received an email yesterday from the Gazette informing me they had decided to print the editorial on Sunday due to its larger readership. Normally I’d be flattered but I know it has nothing to do with me [...]

  I’ll admit that I watch Fox News. I never did prior to President Obama taking office, though now I often find myself tuning in while eating breakfast to hear what Fox News has to say about current events and the like. This morning Fox News mentioned a new study that suggested American textbooks [...]

  For those of you that don’t know – though I mention it a lot – I work at UPS as a preloader, meaning I work from 5-9 in the morning and load boxes off a conveyor belt into three different trucks. I have been doing this for nearly nine months, and the work is [...]

  Maybe it’s the terrible, bitterly cold weather we’re having in Michigan (we’re on pace to obliterate the snow record we set last year) or just the fact we’ve only seen sunlight three or four times since October, but I got to thinking about Las Vegas today and made the picture above the background to my [...]

  For most people inside of America – and my guess is outside observers as well – the pinnacle of politics is nothing short of the United States presidential election, and poll numbers bear this out as well, with a stark decline in voting during Congressional elections in off presidential years. But with President Obama’s recent [...]

• cartguyforever wrote a new blog post: I Hate Journalspace   3 years, 4 months ago
  

  I hate the new journalspace with all my being, yet I’ll never delete my account. Where else would I go to bitch about hating the place?

  I hate the new journalspace because it’s not the same. I hate change. I never understood why the typewriter wasn’t enough, or why women earned the right to vote. I [...]
