Sorry boy, I'm in love with Thomas Jefferson.

Lets face it, Thomas Jefferson is the man to beat. Not just Thomas Jefferson, but all the great mavericks out there. I can only imagine the kind of free thinking that they enjoyed. Their ideas were revolutionary at the right times in history. They rose to the occasion. Ever wish you could be like that? I do. Maybe I can pretend. So here are the things Thomas Jefferson and I have in common:

1. "I cannot live without books" --Thomas Jefferson.

2. We both have a killer hairstyle.

3. Thomas Jefferson sings like an real man. No really, I have proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZfRaWAtBVg. (Okay, so we don't have this in common. I don't sing like a real man, I just wanted to put this in here :))

Here is a beautiful quote by my main man, Tom Jeffey (As I so affectionately refer to him as)

Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

Sometimes you just have to wonder how they did this? I meant Thomas Jefferson didn't have Thomas Jefferson to listen to and learn from the way I do. These sorts of people have the wisdom to decide and follow what is right, even though they are one of the first people to have every thought of it. They didn't have studies, cases, and examples to learn from back, to insure the outcomes of their ideas, then.  What could I accomplish with such limited resources? The answer is probably nothing.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

Not much has meaning that that. So, shoutouts and kudos go to Thomas Jefferson today, just for being awesome.
