This is how the world ends...

This is my first blog. I plan on using it as a place to voice my opinions and comments. I also hope to see other people's thoughts and viewpoints on the topics I talk about here. Sometimes Facebook threads are too small to contain it all and go as in depth as I would like.
The developments in North Africa and the crisis in Japan have sparked some good conversations lately, but I also like to talk about things going on locally.
I would like to start out by saying that I am not a Democrat or a Republican. Nor am I "liberal" or "conservative". I love guns and really don't care if gays can get married or not. I don't look at things from a political view, but as an observer. There are some issues I feel strongly about and that creates the problem of having some people try to plant a label on me.

I always thought that Afghanistan/Pakistan is a war the US needed to be in and we should have left Iraq alone.

I think Libya will now become a ground war involving the US in some measure as well as our European allies.

My March Madness bracket got demolished last night as Notre Dame played basketball as well as a pile of dead slugs.

I think Mary Fallin isn't going to do anything impressive in her term as governor of Oklahoma.

I think Obama had a good message during his campaign, but the more he tries to be like Bill Clinton, the more he turns into Jimmy Carter.    

These are just a few things I think someone reading this blog should know about my point of view. I don't claim to be "fair and balanced" because no one is. Every one has some experience in their life that shapes their views.

Besides that I will probably also talk about sports, books, movies, the entertainment world and just about anything else here.

So, that's about it for now.
