Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Politicizing Life

Peace prize winner ‘could kill’ Bush

If that isn’t the definition of an oxymoron, I don’t know what is! Is it just me or is anyone else tired of politics? You can’t go see a movie anymore without someone’s political views getting dumped in your lap. I’m all for healthy political debates, but there is a time and place for it.

I have a bad habit of singing songs about my dog. And I just started singing aloud at work. Thank goodness everyone has left for the day.

Bush/Kerry Debates

“I’ve had one position… one consistent position…” - John Kerry during the debates - Quote of the Year! :rofl:

Ragin’ Conservative

Before I begin my political ranting, I’ll post a few tidbits of good news. First, let’s all congratulate Peter - his comment was #1000! I don’t have a prize for him because I’ve been lacking in the creativity department lately O_o Next, I want to plug two BEAUTIFUL websites - Passing Travelers Network & Labra-Lege… do visit them both; they are very talented webdesigners!

Now, on to my ranting. Dodo has been hosting a political debate on her blog that could rival the upcoming Bush/Kerry debates :lol: Since sometimes I feel alone in a world of liberals, I decided to contribute my opinions to the crossfire. I’m not going to post all of my arguments here since you can read them on Dodo’s blog. I, however, must agree with Dodo on one of her points. If you’re voting in this upcoming election, please don’t vote on personality or appearance or whether or not your favorite celebrity is voting for that candidate … first, take a look at all the issues, then make your decision.

With that said, I must discuss the latest movie I viewed - The Day After Tomorrow. If I only knew that movie was chocked full of propaganda against Bush, I would’ve never wasted my $7 on it! :stressed: Politics aside, the movie was still terrible. Not even halfway through the movie, I wanted to leave because I was so bored. The plot was lacking in all aspects. However, the special effects were excellent. I loved the tornadoes! I was disappointed to see that Sela Ward, a Chi Omega alumni from the University of Alabama, starred in that film. I thought southerners had more sense than that? (kidding.) Funny, I always thought that God would end the world? According to Tomorrow, looks like George Dubya is the antichrist bringing about the total destruction of the human race. Hmm, I guess I better pack my bags and head to Australia with everyone else!

Finally! A celebrity emerged from the political closet and admitted that she supported Bush. “I’m Irish Catholic, so a Democrat by blood, but I’m 100 percent for Bush. I want my president to be like my agent: not afraid of people, but wants my best interest.” said Lara Flynn Boyle from The Practice to US Weekly Issue 485 - May 31, 2004.

Sam posted a link to this article, which brings up some very good arguments against John Kerry. I recommend that you read it no matter what your political affiliation may be.

Ok, that’s quite enough politics for one day x_x Thanks to my commenters: Peter, Anne, Michelle, Christine, Jillian, tuan, Jem, lou, and Brigitte. Have a great afternoon!

Please vote for my basket at the Qbee… I’m #77!

2004 Election

I’m sad because I got caught up with school, vacation, and summer break, which resulted in not finding the remaining eggs for the Qbee Egg Hunt :( I ended up with 130 eggs, but stupid me forgot to write down the information for about 10 of the eggs, so I don’t get credit for those.

Anyways, the following paragraphs contain MY views and opinions, so beware:

I know a lot of people have their opinions on George Bush, so I have mine on John Kerry. I can’t stand that man, and it’s not just because of his politics. He is an egotistical, rich snob. What really infuriates me is that he claims that he doesn’t need the south to win this election. When I’ve listened to his speeches, he hasn’t told me why I should vote for him; rather, he has told me why not to vote for Bush. Of course, I’m a bit biased because I’m a Republican, but I don’t think that he is a good politician. I hate the amount of ‘mudslinging’ taking place in this current campaign. Speaking of campaigning, I purchased a ‘W‘ sticker for my car… I will post a pic of it tomorrow.

Another thing that bothers me is the recent scandal concerning the treatment of Iraqi prisoners. Why does no one seem to care about the American man who was beheaded by the Iraqis? Or the treatment of our troops imprisoned in Iraq? Sometimes I get the feeling that there are very few partriotic people left in my country, which is really discouraging :no:…

FoxNEWS rocks my socks :flip: This was an interesting article discussing the views of the 2004 candidates.

I didn’t write the above with intent to offend anyone; I’m just all fired up over the recent news. I’m ordinarily not an outspoken person, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have my opinions. Feel free to share your opinions, but please don’t be immature.

My best friend, Rachael, is coming to Florence tomorrow from Nashville and I’m looking forward to seeing her. We’ve planned an afternoon at the lake, so I hope the weather is good and the boat is running :P Well, my plan to get in bed early tonight failed miserably. The funny thing is that I started writing this post at 11pm (It is now 12:30 am) haha I’m slow at everything I do, even bloggin’!

Anyways, time for bed. Thanks to my devoted commenters: candy ¬? Jem ¬? Katy ¬? kitsune ¬? Michelle ¬? Nagaki ¬? Natasja ¬? Salome ¬? Sam ¬? Sanne ¬? tuan
