I have been a lazy person.

I have not posted or really tried to post to my blog mainly because I really didn't have a focus or idea for this blog. Well I can say that I finally have an idea for this blog, and that is ME. With personal branding the next big thing on the web and web celebs popping up all the time, my time to start promoting myself is now. I will use this place to help me get my ideas out to people that I can not impact on a face to face style by using the all powerful intraweb to blast ideas in a more open and "anonymous" place.

The first thing that I really want to say today is...

Running for public offices. We as a society should start making the candidates responsible for the actions of their campaigns. Today exactly 1 week after the general elections of 2008 I was out traveling the great state of Texas on my day off (THANKS TO THE VETS) an noticed that there are numerous sign for Mccain and other candidates in the 2008 election still around town. I know that you want to show your disgust for the outcome of the elections, but when I am driving on road, and the sign for some Judge candidate is still up a field with one of the sides holding the sign up blown over...Now we are just getting into littering. Maybe this is a sign, I am personally glad that a candidate did not get elected as our representative to the judicial system who can not even keep from littering. These campaign groups should be ticketed for each sign that they left posted.

It really reminds me of a house party that you or your friend hosts. The next day most of the people are gone and the place is a wreck. I decided to host the party so I (and maybe a really good friend) have to clean up all the empty cans, trash and anything else that showed up during the party ; Lampshades, Beer Pong tables, underwear in the dear antlers, whatever. Well the election party is over, start picking up your trash. I did not host this little soiree, so why should I or any of my friends have to pick up after you. If I wanted to run around all day picking up after people, I would have a couple of little people (children) of my own to keep me busy.

Maybe we should make cleanup the little side bet to the election process. If you win great get to work, if you lose then you have nothing to do so get to cleaning up the campaign trash. Look its a win/win. Both sides are gainfully employed, some just longer then others. The real winner is the economy ;) jk
