Tony updates.

I lost about 25% of my retirement . That sucks. It's probably more by now but I'm afraid to check. Trickle down greed sucks.

I'm registered independent. I really don't fully endorse Obama or McCain. They both have their good and bad points. I mainly lean left because I hate military spending. I really don't like the 2 party system. It leads to corruption. There is legislation that prevents any 3rd party candidates from the debates. Not awesome. I think that lobbying should be illegal. Too many conflicts of interest. That's how I see it. Ron Paul knows what I'm talking about:

Dubai: I've submitted my Curriculum Vitae (international resume) to an Engineering recruiter out of Australia. I told him I would be able to start in either Abu Dhabi or Dubai around April. Now I will sit around and wait for the offers. With the way things are going in the US I'm in no hurry to move back. I miss friends and family, I miss Oregon, but if living in over 25-30 houses has taught me anything it's how to adapt to new surroundings and situations. I make friends easily, I learn my way around quickly, I adjust to local customs well. I am AWESOME!!!! Hahaha.

Dave clued me into "National Novel Writing Month".

The gist is that you have to write a 175 page novel in November. 1st draft, no editing,just writing. I'm gonna write an emo novel about my songwriting alter ego "Anthony".
