Well, Herman Cain was voted out of the republican running for Senate. Johnny Isakson will end up running on the Republican ticket. I emailed Mr Isakson’s campaign to ask if he would be supporting the Fairtax Act, and recieved some bullshit response about needing my address in order to send an email to them. Well fuck Mr Isakson if they need my address. Mt vote will be going to the Libertarian candidate, Allen Buckley.

iTunes
Reinstalled the latest version of iTunes, and it worked without a hitch. Once I get paid I will have to buy a song or two and see if that is working as well. The only thing that I don’t like is that it renamed all of my stuff. I keep everything organized by artist/album/ in directories, which it did not mess with, but I like my songs named as track #_track name_artist_album. It renamed everything to just the song name, and inserted the id3 tags, which was ok. It did convert most of my wmas to mp3, which was fine. Most of the stuff that I ripped from cassette and LP were in wma format, I had not had time to convert them to mp3 yet. Will try it for awhile before I make my final decision. I still lean towards winamp or media player right now as my main player.

Freedom
I Think Everyone should have fewer freedoms
I don’t, really, but I chose this title as the apparent mantra of some of the most prominent political choices.
Democrats feel wealthy people should have less control over their own money, employers should have less freedom to decide who they can and can’t hire, colleges should have less freedom regarding admissions choices, Christians should have less freedom expressing themselves in a public arena.
Republicans feel individuals should have less freedom deciding who they can and can’t marry, citizens should have less freedom to publicly criticize the government, citizens should have less freedom to make stupid lifestyle choices.
This is but a small sampling of the infringement of freedoms that is part of the character of both parties. There are individuals within each party that are exceptions, but I am speaking about the “official” party policy.
In this day and age, the Libertarian Party is becoming increasingly relevant.

Whew..
Just got back this afternoon. Tried to post remotely, but for some reason it wasn’t working properly. Spent the week in Hilton Head. Was definately a blast. Took a few pictures, I will try to get time to post them tommorow.
Went out and bought a new grill this afternoon, and a shitload of brick, finally finished putting in a small patio around 10:30 this evening. Not perfectly even, but I think it looks pretty fucking good. Put it in a few feet from the goldfish pond which is doing fairly well.

Happy 4th of July
Damn, already the fourth. Last day before my vacation starts too. Going to Hilton Head tommorow, which I am looking forward too. Today will probably be a very long day at work I am sure, I know yesterday was. I didn’t get home until about ten pm last night.
Have done a shitload of work on my HA pages recently, that’s one of the reasons I haven’t blogged in the last few days. Will try and post a bit more tonight. Also may try and post some photo’s while I am out of town.
