Thoughts of cody on a sunday evening

Life is not an easy thing. People will come in and change the way you think of things and the next thing you know it they are gone as soon as they came, don't look at it as a bad thing instead accept the fact that people are going to leave and that some people are going to stay because just as people come in and out of your life you enter and exit others, Seize this opportunity to create change. You don't have to change the world just rise yourself to the occasion of life and live every moment to make a positive impact on the people that you come into contact with, do your best to better yourself and to better the people around you. This is not to say that you cant make mistakes because as many have said to error is human but minimize your screw ups and learn from them. its a cliche but i firmly beilive that everything DOES happen for a reason events in your life such as illness, relationships, sheer happiness and moments of absolute stupidity are to test the limits of your inner self as well as your ability as a human to adapt to the changes around you and make the best of every situation. So my advice is to not live every moment as its your last but instead live every moment to make the future better even if its putting a smile on someones face. Or trying to be a good influence on others, Everyone who is on this earth was born with a measure of worth and ability to contribute to better themselves and other around them. We all can treat each other with a sort of respect and help each other grow in our own little way.
We must live our lives to the fullest and greatest potential that is in us, we must devolp our mind and our natraul gifts that were given to us: Work hard to expand these gifts and grow as a person live with hatred towards none and once you do this then and only then can you tell yourself that you have lived!

Equality!

So this election has had many many firsts and many chances to show the world that we are a nation of equality and suppportive of all our citizens...First we had a the chance to nominate the first woman president with Hilary Clinton, even though i'm somewhat still disappointed in the fact that she did not recieve the nomination i'm happy with our other first in Barrack Obama, the first black president. Some other "issues" that could have showed our equality in this election was the proposition 8 in California. This is a very sensitive issue so those who read this blog understand that i'm not trying to change anyones views or opinions i'm simply just stating mine. I belive that everyone in this country has a right to love and to marry whomever they like. It comes back to the rights that we are promised The right to happyness and the right to practice our religon or beliefs freely, so many people who are against Same-sex marriage and who are protesting against it say they are using a freedom that is given to them to state their point and i beileve that they are given that right but the only issue i have with the whole sitiuation that they are exercising their right in order to take away anothers right. Many people oppose the idea of allowing same-sex marriage to be allowed and have the same equal rights as “regular” marriage, many of these oppositions root from religious beliefs. These groups claim that chaning the definition of marriage to include same sex would be against gods will, that it is unnatural and promotes unhealthy behavior. The Roman Catholic Church opposes recognition of same-sex unions, arguing that acts of sexual intimacy are only proper between a man and a woman, and that the proper setting for those acts is only within marriage. Other oppositions are the arugurs of family and that child should be raised by both a mother and a father. Those they arguments are their right to have i highly disagree with them. What happened to god loving all of his children, and the whole family aspects divorce rates are at sky rocketing rates right now and same-sex marriage potential divorce rates are very low, and i beilive firmly that same-sex couples who adopt children are some of the best parents that i have ever seen. They truly love and appreciate that child with all their hearts. Plain and simple point is that We are a nation of equality and many in the past few days are saying look how far we have come with the election of Barrack Obama, but i say great now we have a very long way to go to call ourselves a nation of equality......Maybe my views are tainted because i have some friends in the Gay community and they are some of the most loving and caring friends that i have and i just dont see how constiutionaly we can remove rights that should be theirs but then i am reminded that the constitution is nothing more than what the courts say it is. One thing i am extremely grateful for is that McCain lost so that Rowe V Wade will stand and not be overturned.

Great times for Cody

So this Monday the Titans pretty much clinched the AFC south division they are now up by 4 games on Indianapolis. No team has won their division from being 4 games behind. So a lot of their criticism has been made that the Titans don't have a good enough quarterback to take them to the super bowl, but one thing about the Titans is that a quarterback is not what the Titans need the Titans quarterback job is to not lose the game for the team since their defense is so dominant and can put points up on the board themselves they have a very very very good shot at going to the superbowl again this year. In other news my mac just barely got a blue line down the side of the screen at first i thought that it was a very very bad thing but then i noticed that the line is very close to the side of the screen the placement of it is lined up perfectly with the internet scroll bar when an internet page is opened is it is something that i can live with temporarily.

5-0 Baby

So a break form politics on my blog.....Over this last sunday the Tennessee Titans won their 8 straight regular season game to put them way on top of the AFC to go 5-0 entering their bye week. Now i'm not going to go out on a limb and say the Titans are giong to make the superbowl but as of right now they will have no problem making the playoffs with the top seed. That makes me very excited....In other news with my life Nate is getting married on Friday which is pretty exciting then that sunday i'm going to visit some friends in Colorado for a week over fall break ok back to studying for Dan Jones political science midterm :)

Joe Biden

So first a short little overview of Biden's career and then my thoughts, Joe Biden is the democratic pick for the vice president of the united states. Biden' career started in 1970 (38 years ago) when he was elected to county council for his town of Wilmington Delaware He served until 1972 when he ran against long time senator Caleb boggs and beat him out for the senate seat. Biden has continued to stay in the senate winning by a percent of about 60 percent of vote each time and has been re-elected 5 times in 2000 after his fellow colleague retired Biden became the senior senator of Delaware. Currently Biden is on numerous powerful committees which include Committee on Foreign Relations (chairman, filing Obama's void and weakness in that area), The Judiciary Committee which include various subcommittees, And is co-chairman on the international narcotics control. In my opinion Biden is so strong in the area of Foreign Relations and gives Obama everything that he is missing, Obama is very strong and very trusted on issues in the economy and Biden brings that strength of experience and knowledge of foreign relations to the table. Some major polices that i agree with are when the US first entered Iraq Biden tried to pass a resolution that supported military efforts in Iraq only after all diplomatic efforts had been exhausted this resolution was quickly shot down and rejected by the Bush Administration. Biden agrees that we cant just leave Iraq and says that the US cannot fight alone and needs to have global support something the Bush Administration has failed to get. He is an advocate in dividing Iraq into three separate ethnic states that would help end so much sectarian violence he and many other supports give this "third option" which would federalize Iraq and give the Sunnies Shites and Kurds breathing room in their own regions...His ideology is Liberal his life time liberal score is 70 percent to 18 percent conservative, He is a firm believer and supporter for new energy and alternative fuel sources somthing McCain and Palin both appose seeing how McCain has voted against 90% of all energy bills including Water and Wind. He is against drilling in the Artic refuge, against privatizing social security, and is a firm believer that action must be taken against global warming.

The biggest question that i have for you is John McCain could very well pass away before his term is up if elected the republican response to this is Obama is more likely to be assinated (something i think is just ridiculas and wont happen) who would you rather have running the country if one of these things happened? a completely unexperienced, not qualified Plain (she has served nowhere on the national scene) or Biden.
