Who is this Matt Mickelson?

Well, I'm an engineer, an extreme sports fan, and a soon to be father!

Skateboarding happens to be my favorite sport. Snowboarding used to be my favorite, but the snow just doesn't cause enough pain. Concrete is key. Although I recently discovered East Coast "snow" which really is quite similar to concrete, so we'll see.

Eh?

"It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money."

"I believe in making the world better for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex."

To be honest, I am quite ashamed of my country right now. Our international policy has become nothing but selfish, ignorant, and arrogant. We basically call anyone who hates the U.S. a "terrorist", when we have done nothing but give them a mirade of reasons to hate us. Our basic international strategy is to label any group that doesn't agree with our policies a "terrorist organization" and then to bomb the crap out of said group and anyone unfortunate enough to be within a 300 mile radius of that group. What we have allowed (and funded) Israel to do to Lebanon is appalling. Yet most Americans think that Israel is somehow justified, because Hezbollah captured a couple of soldiers. Would we think the same if the groups we fight against actually had the firepower to bomb the crap out of the U.S.? We have certainly captured plenty of prisoners, held without formal charges (Guantanamo).

P.S. Someone needs to create a video timeline of all the excuses the Bush administration has used for the war in Iraq. Doesn't anyone else think that if the reason we are at war is constantly changing, maybe there wasn't a very good reason in the first place?
