El Donaldo is back in the blogosphere!

23 long days, and no posts I have done. And while it felt pretty good to have a break from the blogging world, I feel it is now the time to reenter. Just a couple things are on my mind at the moment, so here goes.

#1. OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

2008 was a crazy year wasn't it? You had the financial and housing markets crashing (still), the Unites States electing a crazy Socialist to be our fearless leader, (Actually, I don't know if he has formed a committee yet to decide if he is going to be fearless or not.) Michael Phelps rewriting the history books in the world of Olympic competition, the birth of El Donaldo blogo, man made global warming further proved to be a hoax, American bad ass Charlton Heston dying in April, and many other events that made this year both a year to remember as well as a year to flush down the toilet and forget about.

I am looking forward to 2009 for many reasons. And while I do doubt Mr. Obama's skills, I pray that he can guide this country in a good direction. Using Clinton sloppy seconds for his staff isn't a good start, but hey, what can you do?

#2 (And only because it comes after the end of 2008.) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A SPECIAL SOMEONE

I would like to take the time to wish a Happy 29th Birthday to my lovely wife Lisa. I can honestly say that I would be totally lost without her in my life, both mentally and spiritually. Most of you know about her and her amazing talents from reading her blog, but for those of you who don't, (HA! Who am I really kidding here??? I get 99 percent of my readers FROM her! The other 1 percent happen upon me by clicking the "next blog" button at the top of the page.) be sure to pay her a visit. I can pretty much guarantee you won't go away disappointed.

I love you Lisa, and wish you the best these days leading up to the big 3-0. Or as the SoCal barbie puts it....29 and holding...

#3 THE INDOCTRINATION OF MY CHILDREN IS ANNOYING!!!

Today before church Lorelai was playing a Curious George game on the PBS Kids! website. Now I have seen her play on there countless times, but this time I noticed that she was playing a different game than usual. It went like this: C.G. had some crap that he had to get rid of. He could either throw it in the recycling bin, the compost heap, or a Goodwill bag. I just want to know one thing. Are garbage cans considered evil outside of my house? I mean c'mon...I can't even throw away a sock with the heel worn out because Goodwill wants it??

Now I get it. Recycling is not a bad thing. I personally do not do it, but I am 100 percent fine for others to do it. Same with compost heaps. If you (or some hippie that you might be acquainted with.) want to place putrid waste in some pile in your backyard, be my guest. More power to ya. And while I am a firm believer in donating to Goodwill, (Three words: TAX WRITE-OFF) I don't want some computerized monkey force feeding ideas into my child's head.

You see, back in the late 60's early 70's many kid shows on the air such as this and this show where they were for entertainment value only. Of course Sesame Street revolutionized children shows by integrating lessons into the show. But nowadays, these kid shows are not interested in teaching my girls their ABC's and 123's. Instead they want to brain wash them into thinking that if you do not do things such a recycling and composting and trying to "save the planet" that you are somehow not a good person.

And that is the reason why I steer my girlies to the Boomerang network. I would rather have them enjoying classic shows such as (but not limited to) The Jetsons, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Top Cat, Pink Panther, Smurfs, Tom and Jerry, and even though I personally do not care for it, (But Lex and Lor love it!) Scooby Doo. All classic shows that every child should know like the back of their hand. And no preaching about how CFL light bulbs are soo much better than incandescent bulbs. Although we all know those bulbs suck. Who wants that crappy light in their house anyways?

There you go. My first post of 2009. It feels good to be back. I can't wait to get back in the blogging groove again. With that being said, watch a new blog coming your way. It is a joint effort between me and this guy. What are we going to write about you ask? Well, lets just say that once we have it up and running, you will see no more political posts here on El Donaldo.

Once S and M gets started, we will be eating liberals and crapping out hippies. It should be a lot of fun!!
