In two days I will complete another year at Saint John's University and will then be a junior with only two more years until I have to go into the real world. I sit here listening to Dan Barreiro on KFAN as they continue to update the Vikings Stadium and it has really opened my eyes to how clueless I am on politics. I knew that I didn't know much but some of the terms they use while they talk stadium talk just go over my head. Sometimes I wish that I knew more about politics but other times I am so glad that I do not care at all. Now before anyone gives me any crap, it does not mean that I won't be listening to "the issues" when it comes to presidental election and that I won't vote. I honestly think voting is one of the most important things that you can do as a United States citizen. It is a right that not many people get the oppertunity to do and I believe it is a honor to be a part of choosing who comes into office. My view on the Viking stadium is simple. It HAS to be passed, not only because I am a rube and love the Vikings, but also because it has many benefits to the people of Minnesota. More jobs is the biggest one that has be on board. Also on Sunday's people spend the whole day downtown celebrating before, during and after the game drinking, eating, and spending money that goes back into the economy. How can we say no to that? I am curious to see what happens this week with the whole stadium talk. Now that we PASSED the House, I am looking forward to see what the Senate has to offer.
I know this is really short but finals are calling my name. I hope once school is done I will be able to broaden my blogging horizon and do more with it. Have a good night everyone and like always see you soon.
