and we’re back

After almost a year of lack of activity (1000% at the fault of my laziness, we’re only back now because the server I paid for expired…), we’re back! Or I guess I should say I’m back. Last time around this was my attempt at running a general interest blog of sorts where I would post whatever interests me, mainly music, finance crap, and cool science stuff. Since then I have started (and consequently haven’t touched in about 6-8 weeks) blogging at bassmonkeymusic.com, but regardless of that (crappy) attempt, I want this to become a site where I write whatever is on my mind and to be a place where I can post picture/stories of my travels while I live abroad.

Since I’ve come out to HK a few peeps have aksed if I plan on voting in November and each time I say I have not the slightest interest. After reading a bit more and thinking about it, I might. I might if Ron Paul is running. I’ve said that before to people and their response is “but he hates in Israel”, meh meh meh, but that isn’t exactly true. Ron dawg is the (aging) man. He looks like a jolly grandpa and I think he would shift the US in the direction it needs to progress in a healthy manner. Too bad Romney will be running most rikery.
