My Tweeps

So I finally added a "List Widget" to my blog to fulfill the "Find Your Tweeps" quest.

The two individuals that I chose to include in my list are people who literally have nothing in common, but I look up to both of them all the same. These two people are Ron Paul, one of the Republican candidates for the upcoming election, and Chase Gabor, skateboarder and skateboard film guru.

Although most people may not agree with me, I personally believe that Ron Paul would be the best Republican candidate that American's could vote into office. Sure, he's a bit older than the other candidates, but should looks and age really play any role in the decision making process that occurs when once decided to support a candidate? I say no. When an individual opts to support a possible Republican candidate, I feel as if proposed policies and solutions to the problems we are currently experiencing are the only variables that should help execute a decision. Ron Paul wants to cut spending, $1 Trillion in his first year,  lowers taxes in order to bring jobs back to America, and stop regulations, such as Obamacare, from occurring. I personally do not understand what's not to like. I admit, I am no where near being the most politically savvy person, but all of Dr. Paul's ideas sounds great to me. Although I do realize the chances of him being chosen for the Republican candidate are very slim, it would still be nice to get someone into office who can truly balance the budget and turn this country around.

Next I would like to talk about Chase Gabor. This guy is a pretty ordinary dude, and is far from being a political figure in every sense of the term. The only attribute that sets Mr. Gabor apart from a good majority of the rest of this country is his career. Chase Gabor films various videos for the most popular skateboarding website in the world, The Berrics. Chase gets to do what he LOVES to do every single day of the week, which is push  around a piece of wood while holding an extremely high definition and extremely pricey camera. And what's better is that he makes a decent salary off of what he loves doing. This is what I like about Mr. Gabor, he made something out of nothing. Skateboarding usually only will result in two outcomes after a certain number of year: 1.) Going pro and making mad bank or 2.) Having a broken body by the age of twenty five. Yet, Gabor was able to take what he loves to do and make a living at it. After all, isn't that what most people want to get out of life? (Sarcasm)

But in all honesty, I truly respect both of these advocates that made it onto my list. And in fact, it turns out that they may actually have something in common, the motivation and courage to continue to fight for what they want. Whether it be Dr. Paul, and his continuing commitment to attempt to sway the American people to see things his way, or Mr. Gabor, who has relentlessly pursued his dreams in becoming the best skateboard videographer to ever walk the planet.
