Sam I am

I visited John Kerry’s and George Bush’s sites today, and I found what I feel is an interesting contrast between the two web sites. Bush’s site employs significantly more negative campaigning than Kerry’s site. I took screen snapshots of the two sites, so you can see for yourself. I am a Kerry supporter. However, I have not altered the pictures in any way. I find the amount of negative advertising on Bush’s site a little amazing, but I am also shocked by the lack of negative advertising on Kerry’s site.

I went to my apartment around 8 pm last night mainly to pick up the mail. Even though I haven’t moved in, I still have to pay maintenance. Whenever I visit my apartment, I get a really happy feeling. It is great owning my own place, even if it does need a lot of work that hasn’t been started yet. And the view remains fantastic. I can’t wait to take more photos.

Check out this view at night:



Isn’t it amazing?

Today I found out that a guy I know from Park Slope, Brooklyn went to High School with me in Highland Park, NJ. He broke out his yearbook and we flipped through it. Some relevations:

• I looked like a total dork in High School
  
• He was one of the guys I looked up to in HS
  
• I had a crush on his girlfriend
  
• People who were generally good people in HS generally grow up to be good people
  

There’s more to this story for now, but it’s nothing I feel like posting at this time.

It’s a damn small world.

I closed on my new apartment a couple of weeks ago. I am pretty excitied to be moving in, but I will need to do a lot of work on the place. They have a useful website for tenants.

The best thing about the place is the view. Check it out:

This is my first post. This log will be a place for me to post photos and writing.
