Hey y’all,

I have been wanting to start a blog for a while. I just let things get in the way. These things are all legitimate I mean the dogs do really need to be walked and the cats are hungry too. The compost bin needs emptying and the trash has got to be done. I’m really doing chores not hanging out having fun. So what could have made me break down and finally do a blog?

        The Texas primary was the foot in the ass I needed to get going. I have been in Texas since I was 9 years old and I am 34 now, you do the math. Either way I have never ever had a chance to vote in a primary, I have never seen any political commercials that are not republican on my local tv stations ever. Now I have a chance to make a difference and it feels great!!!

     I was seriously considering leaving the country if things don’t start to improve. I was busy planing my escape route to south America and trying to figure out how to forge a visa when all of a sudden the Democrats gave me pause for thought. Since I never get to vote in a primary, because they always pick the candidates for the ticket before the Texas primary, I just thought I would vote for Barack or Hillary and be done with it.

        It never occurred to me that I would actually have a say in which one of them got on the ticket. That’s when I realized I was not scared anymore. Being the nerd that I am I kept looking at times in history when a countries government went crazy and committed all kinds of crazy acts in that countries name. Ok i know it has already happened here in some respects, but I was thinking more along the lines of  Nazi Germany or how al qaeda took over in Afghanistan. They didn’t just come in and set up shop. They did it slow and steady taking away peoples rights little by little so that one day when they looked up they found themselves in a situation they couldn’t get out of.

     So I have been paying attention biding my time I didn’t want to get caught unaware. I am still cautious, but not as sacred anymore because the primary coming to Texas has given me a little hope that our country is still salvageable and that my government just might start to listen to me again.
