Ever since I joined the Marine Corps, I started to have a huge interest in watching news and following what is going on in the world.  The biggest reason is, as a leader, you really want to try to stay away from complete and utter surprises.   For example, imagine if you were in the Military, like me, and never followed the news and really didn’t pay attention to much that was going on around you (though, it was hard to notice).  All of a sudden, you’re told you are going to war, and the plane leaves in 4 hours. Ugh..

Anyway, I admit that I am not a very huge fan of the policies of this current administration and I am really wanting complete change.  That change, I believe, shines  in the eyes of Barack Obama.   Apparently, the people of Iowa believes that too.  Obama took first (38%) with Edward (30%)  and Clinton (29%) following behind him.  That speaks huge for his campaign and I hope it leads the way for the rest of the caucuses.

In other news…

I’m in the process of coming up with a game design idea for an independent study project for next semester.  Talk about tough.  I’ve got a lot of idea ‘pieces,’ but putting them together into a semi-unique game experience is proving to be a little tough.  Tomorrow I want to sit down and set in stone what I want to do.  At the beginning, I thought that doing a 3D game, like a 3D bomberman game, would be a great way to start learning 3D. While that is true and works, I really want to try to find something of my own this time.  Anyway, I’ll begin writing about the project when the semester starts.
