Know your props...

Although I am less than confident in exactly how our country operates( including the debates, nasty trash talk, and disregard for the real issues) voting is the only voice we have at the present time, so we should do all we can with what we have... Even if you don't agree or disagree with the props they will still effect our taxes and future; so be informed and vote... we work to hard to let the government be nonchalant with our money.

In case you haven't seen any of the write-ups for the propositions that will be voted on this coming November 4th, below are some links about the issues taken from The League of Women Voters website.

*What's cool about the league, is that it does not support or oppose candidates or political parties. It is completely nonpartisan and is widely accepted as an accurate source.

Voters in this election will be asked to vote YES or NO on 12 statewide propositions:

Proposition 1A Bonds for High-Speed Rail
Proposition 2 Treatment of Farm Animals

Proposition 4 Parental Notification About Abortion

Are you drowning in your "stuff"?

- 92% of people do not have cars
- 1,000,000,000 people do not have access to clean water
- 800,000,000 people live on less than $1 per day (300,000,000 of them are kids)
- Every couple of seconds someone dies of hunger

Do we even realize how much we have...

First off...

Alright just got setup... This will be a place for me to document what I do on the side... my other life, aside from work and group activities... the things that I consider side projects. If you are reading this I hope you will stick around and follow what will be posted in these entries...hopefully they will make you think, satisfy your appetite for music, and give you a different perspective on things.
