Election Day

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

As we approach the upcoming November mid-term elections this year, one question weighs heavily in the air: Will there be a shift in the balance of power? Will voters finally realize that the current party in power is corrupt, incompetent…perhaps even dangerous? And, ultimately, will they vote accordingly? I hope so. I hope that we, as a nation, can finally stand up and say “enough is enough!” I urge you to join me this Fall, and cast your vote for change! Cast your vote for a new future!

Cast your vote… for Chris Christmas Rodriguez to replace Santa this year!

For more information, please visit the Chris Christmas Rodriguez video archive.

Together… we can make a difference!

All my blog are belong to me

And, lo, as if by magic, the archives grow fat and bountiful. More to the point: I have copied all of my previous blog entries from days of yore, and consolidated them into one cohesive tome. A lot of what you may find squirreled away in there contains references to people, places, and things… nouns, if you will… that no longer pertain to modern day, but are none-the-less significant in their own right. Tread with caution.

As an added bonus, I will be, at some point, adding entries from the “Storytime” section of the old, old Polished Scrawl site. “Storytime” was a sort of proto-Blog, before the term “blog” was coined on the Intertubes. One “Storytime” entry from January 2003 has already been added, with more to follow once I can retrieve them from their hidey-hole, and translate the ancient Númenórean script in which they are written.

Crikey :(

My television is set to turn on in the morning and wake me up with CNN Headline News, and this morning the news wasn’t so great. Seeping slowly into my still sleep-addled brain came the news that Steve Irwin, a.k.a. The Crocodile Hunter, has died in a freak accident, after being pierced in the heart by a stingray. Steve was a favorite of my college friends and I, to the point of my friend Ethan and I doing a Croc Hunter parody for one of his video projects.

He was a delightfully crazy, yet extraordinarily caring, one-of-a-kind man. A champion for nature and endangered species. Crikey, Steve, you will be missed.
