A Brighter Day Will Come

“We hold these truths to be self evident. That all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. And among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That is the true genius of America.” -Barack Obama


Obama ’08 – Vote For Hope from MC Yogi on Vimeo.

I am sad to announce that I have not registered to vote and will not be able to do so this coming election. For whatever reason I did not make this a priority in my life and now, more than ever, I wish I had. Luckily I reside in California and we like Senator Obama so I am covered. But that’s a lame, half-ass excuse and I’m not gonna go down that path. Long story short, I will be registered to vote this coming week and you should do the same.

I did, however, buy a ‘Barack, Paper, Scissors’ T-shirt from ObamaTee.com. The t-shirt is real solid, printed on American Apparel cotton tees made right here in the United States of America.

Barack, Paper, Scissors.

If you liked the ‘Barack, Paper, Scissors’ T-shirt than you will more than likely enjoy the selection of t-shirts over at PrimoTees.com. They are the company who created ObamaTee.com.

Screw You MLB.com

For 162 games of the year you allowed me to catch my Cubbies highlights and see all of the stomach wrenching action live on demand. Carlos Zambrano’s no-hitter was so well documented on your site. I probably watched it 20 times and would tingle everytime as if it was my first time seeing it. You gave me that. We had a connection, my senses were invoked by what your site had to offer about my team- my world. Now I try to see the most ridiculous comeback in MLB playoff history on your website but find that you have hidden all your highlight links from both your MLB.com homepage but also the RedSox.MLB.com page. If you find one, you are urged to purchase MLB.tv so you can see something that was meant for the world to be in awe of.

No, I’m not signing up for your MLB.tv to be able to watch at most 8 more playoff games this season. No, I don’t care if it’s a “good deal” because let’s be honest- it’s not. You should be encouraging people to check out MLB.com and MLB.tv for all the highlights they missed, because for now I’m just going to go to YouTube and watch it anyways. Oh and the best part? You can’t do a thing about it.
F your A.
