Why the elections in Iraq won't work

With the recent attacks on not only military personal, but other Iraqi's as well, things seem to be getting worse, not better, in Iraq. President Bush still insists that everything will go according to plan. It seems as though the closer we get to the 30th, the more frequent the attacks are coming.

Now there is a video on the internet that shows the beheading of two Iraqi's in the middle of the street with people and cars going by. This is the lateset in a string of attacks. Blown up mosques and other coalition-friendly groups have been all too common lately. This article at CNN.com explains some of the more recent attacks.

Mr. President, are you aware about just how messed up things are over there? Our military does not have control of the situation. Intelligence is estimating that about 500 seperate attacks are being planned to be carried out before the election. I'm sure you can't prevent all attacks, but c'mon! These guys seem to be way too organized for a little insurgent group. If we can get intelligence about how many attacks will happen, then why can't we get intelligence to help the troops prevent them.

My First Submission to a Film Festival

This past weekend was very busy for me. First off, my play opened at UVSC and we had three outstanding performances. On Friday we entered the LDS Film Festival by competing in a contest where we had to make a short film in 24 hours. We received a theme and then we had 24 hours to write, shoot, and edit the film.

We turned it in on Saturday morning after having stayed up all night. We were tired but our film was good. I've even received some inside info that we are among the top films in the contest. Will we win? I hope so.

My New Do

This has got to be the weirdest hairstyle I've ever had. It's for the play I'm in that opens today.

I got a new camera phone so hopefully I'll be filling the blog with lots more stuff.

Another reason I HATE Jesse Jackson

As if Jesse Jackson hasn't done enough for me to think he's a disgrace to Christians everywhere, he had to go and add something else to the list.

At the Zionist Organization of America website they issued a press release that quoted the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson as comparing Yasir Arafat to...here it comes... 1)George Washington; 2)Nelson Mandela; and, your not gonna frickin believe this, 3)Moses!

“We grieve the passing of the leader and father of the Palestinian people, Yasir Arafat. He did much during his life on earth; his legacy will live forever...against the odds, he built a people from identity crisis to a state, much like George Washington and Mandela...Chairman Arafat rose from a rootless beginning like Moses...and led his people from darkness to light...”

ARE YOU FRICKIN KIDDING ME! This guy was the one of the biggest terrorists ever! And I think its hilarious that Jackson compares him to Moses! What! You idiot, Jackson! Moses was a HEBREW! He is probably the most revered leader of the Jewish people! I'm sure Arafat would have loved to hear that comparison.

Let's see...he only spent his life trying to destroy Israel. No wonder the ZOA would find these remarks offensive. They're almost anti-Semitic. Jesse Jackson is a moron. He's used his so called religious service as a platform to push his own personal agendas and political views. He shouldn't even be referred to as a Reverend.

2005: The Year of the Grape

As this is my first post of the year I'd just like to say, "Hello." I'm back, but I'm sure most people don't really care. I have about 2 or 3 people who actually read my blog. One of those people is my wife. I don't even think my parents read this. One of my goals for the year is to get more people to read my blog.

I thought it would be cool to take a look at my resolutions from last year and see how I did. These are the resolutions that I made last January.

1. Break a sweat at least once a week: Well, I'm not sure how I did on this one. I'm fatter than I was last year so I sweat more, but I don't have to do as much. In a way I've done it.

2. Be like Drew and hold hands with two girls at the same time. (apparently the time I did it last year didn't count.): I still think that one time in '03 counted.

3. Get married: At the time this was just a joke. As it turns out it was probably the one resolution I actually accomplished.

4. Stop making jokes that make other people embarrassed: I screwed up on that one.

5. Stop making resolutions I know I won't keep: Yeah, well, this year I'm gonna climb Mt. Everest.

6. Take a blind man to an art museum: I was this close to doing it but the security at the nursing home stopped us before we got out.

7. Take a deaf man to a concert: Like they let me back in the nursing home.

8. Repent: well...

9. Double check that my place in Hell is secure: The red guy says I'm doing fine.

10. Stop hurting myself: Two words; kidney stones.


Well, hopefully this year I'll be able to think of some resolutions that I can accomplish.
