Interesting Quizes...

I was visiting another blog (Jessica's Journal), and I saw these quizzes... so I took them. Here's my results:

The Democratic Loyalty Quiz 10 Questions to Test Your Allegiance to the Democrats

Your score is 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a devoted Republican. You tend to walk in lockstep with the party, even if you have not agreed with every decision Republican leaders have made. The few differences you have are nothing compared to your complete and utter disdain for the Democratic Party and the elitism, cowardice, and godlessness for which it stands.

The Barack Obama Loyalty Quiz 10 Questions to Test Your Allegiance to Barack Obama

Your score is 0 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a fierce opponent of Barack Obama. He is the embodiment of everything you despise in a politician: an elitist, morally superior, gun-grabbing, religion-bashing, terrorist-coddling appeaser who threatens all that is good and decent in America. Plus, he bowls like a girl.

The John McCain Loyalty Quiz 10 Questions to Test Your Allegiance to John McCain

Your score is 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are conflicted about John McCain. On the one hand you like the fact that he's more moderate than most Republicans on certain issues, but you're concerned that he's too willing to shamelessly pander to right-wing extremists in order to get elected. Still, compared to the competition, you think he looks better and better every day.

Take the quiz

I sorta liked the responses on the first two quizzes. The responses are not exactly accurate of my point of view. I am not "lock step" with the Republicans, since I don't vote only for Republicans. Nor do I "despise" Obama, however I will not vote for him, based on what he has said and promises to do. The last quiz I really don't like the summary. I think it was slanted the wrong way. I think I would have worded it a slightly different way:

"You are conflicted about John McCain. On the one hand you like the fact that he's more conservative than most Democrats on certain issues, but you're concerned that he's too willing to shamelessly pander to the left-wing extremists in order to get elected. Still, compared to the competition, you think he looks better and better every day."

What to write about?

Well, as you know, it's been awhile since I was blogging regularly. In 2007, I blogged almost daily and read many other blogs ever day as well. Well here it is near the end of 2008, and I have returned to blogging.

I stopped because it bugged my girlfriend (at the time) that I was talking about my life and people were reading it, and I was reading about other people's lives. She was almost jealous of it, but I think it was more of a slight disgust than jealously.

I am no longer dating her, and it took me awhile to get over her. I really loved, and in part still do love her. She's in the past, and I am trying to move forward. I am trying to reclaim some of the things in my life that I truly enjoyed to do for me, and blogging was one of them.

Now of course I can't blog about work, because I would probably be fired. I can't blog too much about my recent forays into the dating world, as I don't want to scare off any potential future "sweeties"... Or have them think I am a weirdo (at least not until they get to know me!)

I could write about current events or politics, and I do have passionate opinions about those topics. I could do movie or book reviews, or comment on the latest episodes of some TV show I just watched, but to what end? Everyone and their neighbor are writing about those things, and while I might have a bigger audience with those subjects, that's not the reason I write.

I write because I enjoy writing, and I write about the subject I know the best: My Life. So I ramble on and on about my life, and some people will find that boring... I live it, so I know that's true. Some people might laugh at some of the stupid things I do, because I laugh at myself often enough... or maybe it's just my wacked out sense of humor.

So I am going to continue writing about nothing, or something, or whatever comes to my mind, and hopefully someone somewhere will read it and comment on it. Maybe my future "Sweetie" will read it and say - "There's the soul mate I have been looking for!"... Ok, yeah, I was reaching!

Moving

Well I am living out of boxes. Last weekend my brother, his wife and kids, and my sisters all came to my apartment and boxed it all up.

I had planned that during this past week, I would move all the boxes, and this past weekend, I would move all the furniture. So this week, I would be completely moved into the old martial home.

Well, I am not yet moved. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your point of view. I mean the old marital home needs a lot of work, and cleaning before it can be truly "livable", but I have to do this move for financial reasons. The marital home is still for sale, so if you are looking for a good deal, check out the listing on Howard Hanna. It's a "fixer upper", but I am selling it for a really good price, and when it's fixed up it would be a great rental for the nearby (2 blocks) Geneva college. Ok enough of me trying to once again sell this property...

This was my weekend with the kids, so my youngest two stayed with me, and living out of boxes made it a little complicated. Three got a job at Wendy's, so this was her first weekend working there, and I had to get up early on Saturday to get her to work.

My son, Two, got a puppy a few weeks before he left for college. He can't take the puppy to college with him, so he is now my 5th child and goes back and forth between the two homes like the girls. He also spent the weekend with me, and we had a great time. He loves to chase my cats, that are more than twice his size. By the end of the weekend though, the cats got a little more bold, and are starting to stand their ground. The puppy is a little Jack Russell Terrier, and his name is "Ollie", which is short for "Oliver". Here's a picture of him playing in the laundry basket.

I have gotten attached to Ollie and I am hoping that "Two" will let him stay with me full time instead of moving back and forth. But I need to settle on a house first.
