I LOVE MY GUITARS!!! I may be an amateur player but I still Love Playing!!! On a scale of 1 to ten my mum gave me a 6. Not too shabby. Anyone who loves to play needs to look at my guitar!!! Oh, and by the way the awesome cool black graphics on the last one aren't custom...it was a sharpie. I can play anything. Bauhaus,The Cure,Electric Six, Ozzy, YOU NAME IT!!!

Here is me and my supposed "brother". He said he was my actual, biological brother, when i thought he was adopted. I think he was just scammin' for bananas.

Here are most of the nice, awesome VTers I've Met...

I have to say my FAVORITE 2 people are Hansi and Lori.
They have a sense of hospitality and are just so loving. Hansi has to video tape everything which means hes observant (Or just really weird!!!)
Either Way I'm so glad I met them.

Kristi & Dave (Dabs): Love Em'...Nice and Intelligent. They do a lot of fun stuff where ever they go. Dave was nice enough to teach me how to sail (below). If it werent for them i wouldnt have had a great time in Whiting, Indiana.

Frank (Frankcanfly): Just plain out funny!!!!!

Greg: A great Anti-Bush, funny person. Takes his time doing things.

Emilie (emilienoelle i think...): Fun, Loves smashing crabs with mallets and duckpin bowling with her "Professional" Stance.

NONE...Well....I'm an amazing guitarist and I'm a pretty good fencer. My other talents are Annoying mum, getting clawed by my cat Paris, soccer, baseball, bike riding, making people laugh, and RECENTLY thanks to Kristy and Dave (Dabs) Sailing, and blaring rock music.

My favorite place is indeed Paris, France. The food, the views, the people....I love it there. It is the ultimate getaway.

I think that it might be important to know where children stand in the U.S's political situation along with Ohio. I (along with my mother) am a complete democrat. Although I am not one the children who says whatever my parents say...

The Race for Governor

There are two major candidates running for the rank of Ohio Governor. Our old Governor, Bob Taft has served his time and now, on November seventh our state elects a new one. The major candidates are Ted Strickland (Democratic Party) and Ken Blackwell (Republican party). If I was given a chance to vote in my states election for governor, I’d vote for Ted Strickland. I would vote for him because he has a very impressive back round in Socialization and helping the Children’s Hospital Funding and the fact that he helps provide Health Insurance for many children across Ohio. Ted Strickland has also voted to bring troops home from Iraq and for many Tax decreases. I believe that if Ted Strickland were Ohio’s Governor this would be a better place for Ohioan’s.

Ken Blackwell would be a bad choice for Ohioans because he has released false statements about his opponent such as saying that Ted Strickland has voted for Tax Increases when he himself did. Ken Blackwell has also given his opponent a nickname, “Taxin’ Ted”. This shows that he is very childish. I don’t think Ohioans would like someone like him to represent them.

The Race for Senate

Ohio’s Senate is also another issue on this years ballot. The two candidates (Sherrod Brown and Mike DeWine) are both fighting for their right to represent the people of Ohio. I believe that I would vote for Sherrod Brown. I would vote for him because even if he himself disagrees, he will do what people want. He would give Ohioans more tax cuts and cheaper health insurance for seniors and youth.


Issues 2,3,4, and 5

Issue #2 states that workers will get $1.84 more per hour for labor (if on minimum wage). After doing research I found that if passed, issue 2 may reveal social security numbers. I think that workers would rather get 5 dollars an our than have to go through the identity theft process. You would rather get paid something than pay something for someone. I’d vote No on Issue 2.

Issue 3
Issue three says that if Ohio had a larger gambling business part of the profits would go to education in Ohio. I would vote yes on Issue 3. It might take a while but it would eventually kick in and make schools a better place for children. Issue 3 would put 31,500 slot machines at seven horse racing tracks. 30 % of all profits would go to the school systems of Ohio.

Issue 4
Issue 4 says that Ohio will be a smoke less environment and will prohibit tobacco from any place exempted by the amendment. I would vote no on this issue. I would vote no because if a restaurant has a smoking section I doesn’t help. I want smoking almost completely vanished from Ohio.

Issue 5
Issue 5 wants Ohio to be completely smoke free (besides in homes). I know fist hand how bad smoking really is. My grandmother used to smoke and she now has a lung disease. If this Issue passes, No Smoking signs will be required in certain places and ashtrays will be removed.
Vote yes on Issue 5.
