Oh.

My.

God.

I have been watching Adventure Time and I can’t get enough of this show! Yeah, I know it is a cartoon made for kids, but it is one of the best shows on right now. While it is on the silly-side often and it has a nonsensical-side at some times, it has a depth that most live action shows, that are made for adults even, greatly lack. The world has a very mysterious past, which I hope never gets fully answered or explained.

Just to prove my point, it has it’s very own wiki site in which you can get lost in. There you can explore the world after you are done watching the show.

I am personally enjoying the show when I can catch it, which is less often than I would like.

Well, see ya’ later!

I still haven’t heard anything out of DragonGate going on NINE MONTHS* now.

While I worry about her, I know she’s an adult and that she can take care of herself. However not hearing from her has upset me greatly. Just wish there was some way I can get in contact with her and to hear her voice or know she’s ok.

But I must push on. Life stops for no one, including love.

Well, see ya’ later!

You might have seen a few changes being made around here. That is because I am now really sick of being pennyless. So I am seeing if I can make a few bucks around here. From now on, below the fold, Music and Books I am listening and reading will be linked to Amazon so that you can buy what I am reading/listening at this very moment. I suggest you check them out.

I also have a store that I have a few items (please send suggestions) in or you can go right onto Amazon and buy stuff. I will also have stuff there to buy on the side scroll. Even if you don’t buy any of the items listed, just click on through and then buy whatever (I still get the sell).

Buy some music:

Or shop a while at Amazon. Get stuff and help a brother out.

Well, see ya’ later!

I am one of the millions of Americans now oppose Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA). So I am joining the uncounted sites now protesting these bills. Nick Sorrentino of BigGovernment.com explains why these bills are bad:

SOPA is being sold as a way to stop the piracy of movies and music from overseas sites, and this is a problem, but the bill goes much further than just addressing this issue.

For instance if you are the owner of a website and someone posts a bit of copyrighted material in a comments section or in a forum, the owner of the copyright can ask the government to take down your site. You may not even know that someone posted such content, yet you wake up one morning to find your site, and perhaps livelihood, gone from cyberspace with only digital tumble weeds left in its place.

Imagine how this would affect some of your favorite sites, Facebook for instance.

I also agree with Nick Sorrentino that online piracy of movies and music is bad. If I made a movie or was a musician, I would what to stop piracy of my work. However this is the wrong way to fight piracy. I will not sit back and see this happen.

So I am joining the bipartisain “Strike” to show that I oppose SOPA/PIPA.

Well, see ya’ later!

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day I declare that dispite Herman Cain dropping out of the race, I am still going to vote for him. I don’t like any of the current candidates running right now.

“But Gator, why are you wasting your vote?”

I can do so if I so choose. This is, after all, still a free country (at least for the time being) and it is my vote. I understand this is a protest vote, but I don’t care anymore.

I still love and support Herman Cain’s 999 Plan. I think it is a just plan and thus I declare it on this day. Remember that Martin Luther King Jr. once said:

“The moral arc of the universe bends at the elbow of justice.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.

Note that Martin Luther King Jr. did not say fairness, for even he knew life isn’t fair. Martin Luther King Jr. knew justice and the rule of law was more important.

Herman Cain also understands that life isn’t fair. He once said:

“Don’t blame Wall Street, don’t blame the big banks. If you don’t have a job and you are not rich, blame yourself!” -Herman Cain

He’s right. I have no one to blame because I don’t have a job.

So I will vote for Herman Cain, not just because he’s black and not just because this is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I will vote for him because in my heart of hearts, I feel it is the right thing for me to do. I will go to bed knowing I voted for the right person, running for the right reasons, for the job of President of the United States. I will fullfill Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream for the right reasons, for content of character and not color of someone’s skin.

Well, see ya’ later!

I have had a cough for the last week and I have had enough today. So I took to the internet to see if it was worth heading to the doctor.

I punched up dry cough for a week and came accross this web page. After doing some quick research on items on the page, I can safely say that what I have is just post-nasal drip due to my allergies. I am not feeling sick, I’m just coughing all day long.

The reason why I was so prelex about this coughing, is because this HAS NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE (not against my sharp memory). The disavantage of getting old, I guess.

I’ve been taking cold meds for the last week, which is coming to an end right now. What a waste.

Well, see ya’ later!

Well, only one real resolution which I already stated some posts ago: Lose some weight. This is of course, not really a hard and fast New Year’s Resolution.

Yesterday, one of my friends (rightly) berated me on the fact that I don’t have a good answer about my past and that people won’t elect me because of that. She’s right, I don’t have a good answer. However I will not be apologetic about my past. Everyone would like to have had a stable career and/or a job right now. Yet I am making no excuses for this, because life is not fair. I can sit in the corner and cry about it or I can bring focus to my life while moving Lake County Elections into the 21st. If people don’t want to vote for me because I am unapologetic or don’t have a good answer about my past, so be it.

Yesterday is dead and gone. I have always said you can either sit around feeling sorry for yourself or do something right here and right now. Today is the first day of the year, but it is also the first day of the rest of my life. A new chapter is being written and I know how I will write it, for no one will do it for me. The fight is only over when I give up. I will never give up and never surrender.

No, I have no current New Year’s Resolutions. I love my life and have no regrets. Time to get busy and get to work.

Well, see ya’ later!

At the December 20th Meeting of Lake County’s Board of County Commissioners, I was appointed to the Elder Affairs Coordinating Council by Commissioner Jennifer Hill.

I know I am not an elder per say, but I do currently live with my grandmother and I hope to grow old in Lake County. So, if anything, I do have a unique perspective I hope to bring to the council.

I am also running for local office here. However seeing that meetings take place on Thursday mornings at 9am, I don’t think there will be any conflict. I told Commissioner Hill that my top proity would be the council.

There are two things I want to do while on the council:

1. Lake County Senior Fest 2012, 2013 – Don’t know what happen to 2011 Senior Fest (don’t see anything on the site), but I think this is great event. Look into seeing if the VA can also come to assist senior veterans as well.
2. Restart Lake’s “The Elder Council Ledger” – The last one was published in June of 2009! I know most senior citizens are not taking advantage of the internet, but Baby Boomers and those behind them will definitely use something like this online. I will more than happy to offer any help that I can in this effort.

Again, these are just a few of the items I see that maybe we can do again and better. I hope to work with the other twelve members of the council on these and other important items.

[UPDATE] My first meeting will be Januray 26, 2012 at the Lake County Agricultural Center, 1951 Woodlea Road, Training Room A, Tavares, FL. Please come out and visit.

Well, see ya’ later!

“Christmas Tauntauns” will send everyone who grew up in the 80s back to their childhood. I know it does me. If you ever were a kid when Star Wars came out or shortly there after, you grew up in the early days of toy-tie-ins. Everything that came out aimed at kids had toys that came with it.

Sometimes they had bad results. I had #34 Pizzaface, #30. Stinkor, #28. Orbear, one #10. Eco Warrior, and yes, one Ithorian.

God, I loved my childhood. I remember that I used to have a Toy Army, with each toy had a function and a neat chain of command (with me at the top, of course). We go out and battle the evil toy army that I also built or big single evil toys.

Of couse as a child, you think Christmas is all about you. Of course when you grow up, you realize that is complete bunk. Christmas is a hoilday for the adults as well. In fact, I think we love the ride more than you kids will ever imagine.

And yes, Santa Claus is very much real. I don’t care what anyone says. Tell them that BigGator5 personally vouches for the big guy in the red suit.

I also want to leave off with one of my favorite Christmas story ever:

8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

The Uncommon Cold has returned. I call it the uncommon cold for two reason:

1. I rarely get sick.
2. I take enough allergy meds to normally suppress cold symptoms.

Thus when I get sick, I really get sick. I am able to hold my food down, but otherwise I feel aweful*. This morning I woke up and I felt like dying. I’ve taken enough meds to get shredded. Maybe it is because I can’t think of anything else to do.

Here’s to hoping I can shake this before Christmas comes around.

I really miss DragonGate at this moment. I wish she email me with her address in Italy so I can write then send her a letter. I haven’t really heard from her since my computer melted and she headed to Italy. I’m very worried something might have happen to her or that she’s hooked up with some hunky Italian man. It is not knowing what is going on with her that is really killing me.

Well, see ya’ later!
