Welcome to my World of Wonderment

Our planet is a neat place, full of weird and unusual people doing weird and unusual things. One oddball thing I like to do is geocache. What other activity is there that makes people travel hundreds of miles to climb a mountain, wade a river, and fight a Bigfoot, just to be the first person to sign a piece of paper rolled up in a 35mm film canister stuffed in the knot hole of a tree? I can't think of any other sport that has such a great mix of technology and the wonderful outdoors. A lot of geocaches are placed in a beautiful setting, or hidden in a challenging or unique way, or in a historical setting. Geocaching allows the finder to share in some of the hiders favorite places, and along the way you get to meet some interesting characters, and occasionally learn something new. While this blog is primarily a geocaching blog, I also use this place to post the occasional funny video or weird news story, or as a platform to rant or rave about something I really have to share. But for the most part this website is about you, the weirdo walking around in circles, talking into your GPS unit like it's a phone, pretending your taking pictures of a phone booth to find find the tiniest micro-cache, or circling your car around and around a light pole in a parking lot trying to retrieve a cache without even getting out of your car.

Give Me Back Jesse Jackson

I fucking hate Barak Obama. Why is he our choice? The only reason he got where he is at, is because he is somewhat black. The press ate up the novel idea that a black man running for president is not some polarizing idealist like Jesse Jackson. After 200 plus years of old white guy presidents, finally the press core got to stand behind a wishy washy black candidate. Finally there is a black candidate that is as full of shit and bland as the white candidates. Why couldn't we have a candidate (like Jesse Jackson) that stands up for something. That says, "I'm a fucking liberal and if you don't like it, FUCK YOU" After all of Obama's right wing agenda back sliding, I think this guy is more republican than McCain. I don't know if I could even vote for this guy after his vote on the FISA Bill last month. He was already under fire for not even having a voting record, and the one time he does vote, he votes against his core base. I just don't get it. I want a candidate that is for:

Bringing our military home, yesterday.

True health care reform; 100% health care coverage across the board.

Tax reform; Every single citizen pays the same tax rate.

Education reform; Anyone who wants to go to college can, on the government's dollar.

Drug laws reformed; Decriminalize and tax, recreational drugs to actually help addicts

Stopping lobbyist of big business, and special interest groups from having any more influence than the average person.

Relax all of the security laws, the government is inconveniencing it's own citizens more with this home land security bullshit than if we just let a few religious zealots bomb a few planes. (Part of that is a joke, which I shall end on)
