Take 4

OH NO! T-Mac to the Bulls? I am not for this at all, but it should be interesting. I'd much rather take him than James Johnson. This NBA offseason, however disappoint that LBJ, DWade, and Bosh went to the Heat, wasn't all that bad for the Bulls. Better than getting nobody like years before. (Jalen Rose!!!! not.) Eerily, the Bucks have just done what the Bulls spent 5 or 6 years trying to recover from - bad free agent pick ups. They managed to sign Gooden, Salmons, and Maggette all within weeks! Now, people might think them teamed up with Jennings, Bogut, CDR, Redd, and the rest of the gang that they have added good pieces. I think not. Gooden 8 years 8 teams. Salmons good after he's traded, but played terribly with the Bulls when Gordon left. Maggette is the biggest ball hog ever who seemed to polarize his teammates with his selfish play. I applaud Milwaukee because now the Bulls have less competition to win the Central.

Thank you Mother Nature for taking a piss on the Chicagoland area in 1 night. I guess it was bound to happen since it was sunny and 90s for several weeks without a drop of rain. 6" at O'Hare and 10" down by Oakbrook.

Inception was by far the best mind fuck I have ever endured. Even before watching movies, I loved to dream knowing that it was never reality, but fantasy. I can't wait for the next adventurous dream. Leo does a great acting job. Cannot forget how pretty Juno looked. Joseph Gordon-Levitt - can't wait for the next G.I. Joe knowing that he can do action scenes. But I really do want people to stop with the "I need a totem" or the train riddle or even just saying "How do you know you're not dreaming?" If people can't differentiate between fantasy and reality, they belong in the psych ward.

Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are. Good song, and now the bar for guys just went up.

Let's be clear- I am in no way a communist, fascist, or socialist. I have capitalistic views. I would say I'm more of a centrist. A perfect balance is needed. Now, I'm not looking up facts for this rant and have no grounds to support it except my memory and what I do know are to be facts. So I'm going to pose the question - What if America as well as the rest of the world is going down the road to Marx's communism. How? Well here goes my attempt at a conspiracy theory while being beyond bored.

-300 years of war. Since the inception of the US started from a revolution, it could mark the first year of the war. The US has fought in wars, even without necessarily being directly involved, in almost every decade of the nation's history. The Iraq and Afghan wars have continued with no clear aims of knowing how to end the war. I do think that the US intends to keep these wars going in case any hostile actions arise between us and Iran. It is tactically advantageous for us to be within striking distance of the country we started. Oops, but that's a different story. Now say we do start a world war with them, that would mean it would start about 250 years after the birth of the US. It is likely that the citizens of the US would be very unhappy that a war could have even started and try to overthrow the government. (The Roman Republic failed as well due to similar reasons and the Roman Empire began.) Let's say citizens do revolt, it would mean a revolution. (Thank you, France for your revolutionary ways.) Down the road it would take years to stabilize a new government controlling the people. Now based on the past and the greedy ways of corporations, a possible new form of government could be some idealistic "communist" government treating all people fairly with the destruction of social classes, which would be the truest form of communism to date. (North Korea, Cuba, and China do not count as communist. They're socialists.) I guess Karl Marx had some kind of crazy vision. There is a 99% chance that this will never happen, but this is what happens when you get bored on a Sunday afternoon.

Now that my Mexican food craze is coming to an end, it is only fitting that I continue with ethnic food. I tried Indian food the other day and it is AMAZING!!!!! more to post later
