I will never own an iPhone. If I am given one, I will sell it.
(DISCLAIMER: I'm about to reveal things about myself and my past that might sound...arrogant. I am not telling you these things to brag, but merely to make a point. Notice that I haven't mentioned any of these things before now, in four and a half years of blogging...and I probably won't mention them again.)
I got to thinking the other day...I have a similar pedigree to a lot of these liberal jerkwads. I tested at an IQ of 120 when I was about 9 years old. I graduated top 10 percent of my high school class and could probably have done better if I had actually worked hard. I got a 1370 on my SAT (old style scoring) and a 30 on my ACT. I got accepted to the University of Chicago (yes, Mr. Obama's old employer) and went there for my freshman year of college. (I only transferred out because I sought balance in my life, and I would have had none while there, with studying the 12-16 hours a day required to make the grades I wanted.) This also means I spent a year living in Hyde Park. I lived 12 years in Denver. I have travelled quite a bit, to most of the country's largest cities, which I have listed before. I've been to Mexico twice and Canada twice. I have been exposed to the most blatant and egregious propaganda that the Left can muster. I seen a lot of things and known a lot of people. What I'm saying is, I'm as "worldly" as many of these other people and would normally have every reason to be a moonbat, just like them.
Yet...somehow...I am conservative. And it doesn't bother me at all. I think I have two things that I owe for my beliefs: church and science. Strange as that sounds, I believe it is true. Church...well, that's self-explanatory. But science taught me to be rational, seek proof for things in this life, and be skeptical and realistic. Mix what church put in and what science put in, and you have a personality that has a conservative basis for thought and depends on experience and proof for actions, rather than emotion or "feel". (I was given the Myers-Briggs test immediately after I graduated college. If you know Myers-Briggs, I'm an INTP. Another explanation of that here. If you read the explanations, you'll see how it jibes perfectly with what I'm talking about.) Long-time readers and those of you who dig through the archives know that I put a lot of thought into my personal beliefs.
The point is, my background and credentials are as good as (or better than) theirs. So I think I'm going to start treating them the way they treat us, with contempt or pity. "Tsk, tsk...you have such foolish, misguided beliefs; I would expect more from someone so intelligent." That should be fun. :-)
So Heroes is back on and going strong. I wish they wouldn't drag their feet on the storylines, though. And when are they going to turn Hiro into the hardcore, sword-carrying bad-a** we saw in the "future" episodes from the first season? One thing I DO know...Mr. Petrelli is going down. I just hope Peter gets his powers back.
So I asked Heidi...if it really started raining shoes, would there actually be women running all over the street picking them up and throwing them in their cars?
OU's defense is broken. Giving up as many points as we've given up the past three weeks is NOT Oklahoma football. The good news is, we have two weeks to figure it out, against Nebraska and Texas A&M, before we finish with the rough two-game stretch against Texas Tech, then at OSU. The bad news is, it might not matter. We still need Texas to lose at least once (and preferably twice), and we need Penn State and Alabama to each lose once. Oh, and it would be nice if Florida and USC each lost again, too. I think this year is a bridge too far, though; OU had its destiny in its own hands and blew it yet again. Well, maybe we'll make the BCS this year. Personally, I'd like to see us play USC. Unfortunately, the current projections have us playing...Boise State? Yeah, like I'm going to watch THAT again. If we make it, the BCS guys better come up with something decent. An Obama victory in 10 days would already make me want to secede from the Union...if college football gets screwed up, too, there won't be anything left.
We made a lot of progress on the house this weekend. We got a lot of boxes unpacked and we got the entire formal living room all set up. Once we're further along, I'll put up some pics of the place. The best news for me: I'm making real progress in the garage, where I was able to organize some tools and now I almost have room to work on the Mustang! WOO HOO! It also really helped in my progress to break out of this funk I've been in. It's good to see we're slowly turning our house into a home.
That's it for tonight. Thanks for reading along.
