I think Round 2 of the Debates is tomorrow night - should be fun to watch Bush squirm again 
Wait, actually it's big Dick and Jane, errr John isn't it?
Fahrenheit 9/11 comes out tomorrow too so I look forward to seeing that (with a grain of salt
). Apparently this year's election has a record amount of voter registrations so I hope everyone who CAN vote here has registered - today was the last day to sign up in FLA.
Enough politics
Well, almost: Of the last 3 packages my sister has tried to send me from Toronto, 2 have been intercepted at customs and held for no reason (over a month) and the other was torn apart at customs and taken. I received a piece of the envelope (which had contained a tee shirt and magazines) with a stamp saying they had lost the items. Probably not going to ask her to send me shit anymore; I guess that's Homeland Security as work!
They must be looking for rocket launcher parts hidden in clothing and magazines made of enriched uranium. Funny how you can smuggle a small country's population through any sea port here but some skater mags get confiscated. Skateboarding is not a crime! Someone tell the Man!
On a funnier note: I just found out my dad was challenged to a truck race back in June cuz some young punk that work's for him had a new Dodge Hemi V8 and wanted to race it against my dad's GMC Sierra SLT. It started as a $50 bet but grew to $1000. Make a long story short, my dad won the first race (barely - he's got his Sierra tricked out a bit) - on the quarter mile drag; The same Guy challenged him again last week for another grand and my dad knew he had hopped his Dodge up so 2 night's before the race, my dad and his head-mechanic installed a NOS system in his pick up!! LOL!! I nearly pissed myself when I heard. The guy he raced had removed his tailgate, mirrors, windshield wipers and any other added weight so he was sure he was gonna smoke my pops. The whole shop gathered at a stretch outside of town and they videotaped it from 3 angles (including a chase vehicle, haha) and had a photofinish set up in case! LOL My dad said the Dodge was pulling ahead for the 1st eighth of the mile then with a "flick" of the switch - He BLEW the guys doors off!!!! and won by a full truck length!! He ran a 13.9 and didn't fully open the NOS up; I don't know if that's quick but nevertheless: PRETTY FUCKIN FUNNYY!!
The guy and his wife were super pissed and since my dad and his mechanic were the ONLY people who knew about their schenanigans - it made it even funnier. My dad met them for a beer back in town and gave them their money back with a wink and told them next time: "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight; you'll never beat me so don't fuckin try again or I'll keep it." No one'll ever know how they won and he showed them young punks a thing or two! Hahahaaa.
Shit like that makes me think about moving back home...
If Bush is re-elected, I just might! 
I guess a fitting quote for the day would be:
"OH YOU UP AGAINST IT NOW MUTHA FUCKERS!! I'M GONNA BLOW YOUR FUCKING BRAINS OUT!!!! YOU THINK YOU'RE BIGTIME! WELL YOU GONNA FUCKIN DIE BIGTIME!! YOU READY!?! HERE COME THA PAIN!!!!"
