Yesterday, I was looking through some pictures I had taken with an old camera of mine, and some of them looked really nice. So what did I do? Why, I uploaded them to my deviantART account, that’s what! Check it out.

Yet again, I have proven myself to be the master of eBay. This time, I sold an iPod Shuffle (received for free from a friend who was about to throw it out) for $50, with a starting price of $9.99. This even trumps my sale of an old Game Boy Pocket (with games and accessories) for $47.91, after starting out at $14.99. Excellent…
*looks around for other stuff to sell*
My plan is nearly complete…soon I will rule the world! …and then rent it out to the highest bidder so as to avoid having to pay for upkeep.

There. So, you see, there is no content in this post…oh wait…

Ah, elections night. That blissful peace that happens only after everyone has cast their votes and the political ads stop for a couple of years. It’s a bit anti-climatic, though, considering I voted through absentee ballot a couple weeks ago.
The big race here in Washington was our US Senator race, mainly between incumbent Maria Cantwell (D) and Mike McGavick (R). I voted for neither, since I’m fed up with Republicans and disenchanted with Democrats. I voted for Bruce Guthrie, the Libertarian candidate. While Bruce only got a little over 1% of the vote, I at least feel that my vote wasn’t wasted. I bet if more people realized there were more options than just Republicans or Democrats, he would have gotten more votes. I think more people have libertarian-leaning political ideas than they let on. But we’ve let this country turn into a two-party system, so too many people just vote along party lines. I voted on my principles. Like people should.
Anyways, it also looks as if Washington voters upheld the estate tax, which means people will still get state help paying for higher education. They voted down a property rights referendum and voted for cleaner energy, so basically everything went how I thought it would. The clean energy referendum was close, though. Washingtonians are big on being environmentally-friendly, but they can be a bit stingy with taxes at times. Isn’t everyone…
But the big thing that cheered me up tonight is the fact that both the Senate and the House of Representatives have moved farther towards the left. The Senate, as of right now, is split almost equally between Democrats and Republicans, with two Independents right in the middle. And the House is very much dominated by Democrats. I may not like either party, but I prefer the Democrats to the Republicans if I must choose. In my opinion, the Republicans had their turn. They botched things and now it’s time for someone else to try. Will the Democrats do any better? I don’t know. But I’m fairly sure the terrorists aren’t going to win. Take that, Bush.
So, now it’s late and I’m hyped up on Red Bull because of an essay I had to finish. Will I ever get to sleep? Will I be completely wiped out tomorrow? Will Saddam actually get hanged? These are questions that may never get answered…at least not tonight. Ha! Had you going there, didn’t I? …no, that doesn’t make much sense. I blame the calcium-pantothenate in my Red Bull…
