Lots of Stuff

Lots of things have been happening. I am now a father. Our little girl is 8 weeks old now and she is awesome. My wife has been doing 99.9 % of the work, so I just come home and try to love on them both.

Other than that. UT Men's Basketball created history last night. 66-62 victory over Memphis (who was #1), UT (was #2). Now UT should be #1 for the first time in UT history. Congrats to Bruce Pearl and and the whole team.
Duke had been #2 and dropped two games in the ACC. Didn't see that coming. Now they are tied w/ UNC for the ACC regular season title. I can't wait for March 6th (last game of the year vs UNC in Cameron Indoor Stadium) GO DUKE!

Local and national politics:
The people in Knox County, TN have been heard. With the levels of the early voting at it's highest, people stood up against the good ole boy network and told them to hit the trail. Kudos to the new local officals. The next election will be in August 2008.
Nationally, as stated before, I was for Fred. Fred is dead. So, being a conservative , I am lost on what to do. Not too happy w/ McCain. Just can't believe that is the best the GOP has. Somehow, I got to figure out..............is it cool to vote for an old politican. All the cool people vote for Obama and have no idea what he stands for......socialism, universal health care, soft on immigration and War on Terror. People need to research and look for the best candidate. Not because they are black or a woman or even a old white man. Vote for the right reasons.

Special shout out to all my homies on the west side. Word is bond.
Take it to the bridge. Son. One.
I am outta here, like last year.

This is the first time that I've really got involved in politics. Issues are usally what everyone is so focused on. I know that issues are important, however we all know what happens what the rubber hits the road. Issues kinda go out the window, and we're left with the character of the man/woman we've elected. If character counts for anything, Obama 08. I guess from Mr. Smith's perspective character must be cool.
