Many of you may not agree with me and my politics, but I just have to put this out there. I wasted over an hour of my life watching our President spew a bunch of lies last night. When he was talking about the economy and jobs, I felt like I had deja vu. Accept it wasn't. We heard all about shovel ready jobs again. Faster rail systems, bridges and road work. Wasn't all of that the reason why we needed that trillion dollar stimulus 2 years or so ago? In fact, I know I am right on that. The stimulus was supposed to create a bunch of shovel ready jobs and boost the economy. It didn't do either. If it did, then I think we would be in a better job situation than we are in.
The other thing I can't stand is how the Liberal press painted the speech and said 90% of the people surveyed thought the speech was amazing. Half was a replay of 2 years ago, and how much was accomplished then?
Then I watch Nancy Pelosi get interviewed and she actually said Obama has always been moderate. Yes, moderate. What the hell is wrong with this woman? The stupidity of that blows my mind.
Hey Republicans......GROW A PAIR!!! They spend all of their time defending themselves. When they are called racist for disagreeing, most people who have a brain know that is not the case. I am not a racist what so ever and can't stand it when people are. Everyone knows the Left uses name calling as their tactic because they don't deal with facts. They rely on Polls, Unions, and the Fuzzes. I am not saying that all Democrats are this way, but they don't seem to mind it when their media falsely accuses people of ridiculous things like murder with ABSOLUTELY no proof. I mean seriously, the Tea party has been one of the most peaceful movements, and the Left wing media paints them as racist and angry white old people who are crazy.
We all had to listen to people cry about George W for almost 8 years.They had a book and a movie made about killing him, but that's not crazy? I disagreed with a lot of what he did, but I would never wish any harm to him or our current president, because THAT is crazy.
Where are all the liberals on the gas prices? I don't hear anyone screaming about it this time around. Why is that? Please, I really want to know. I believe when W was in office when it was like $2.80, the press was questioning him on that. I feel like everything has been turned upside down. Common sense has been lost. You can't spend your way out of debt. It never works when there is so much waste. If our politicians Actually would read the bill, maybe they would realize things like Turtle tunnels were being slipped into the bill. I will leave you with what Pelosi said about the Obama care, and that is, "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it". Google it.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?
There are 2 big things I have to deal with on a daily basis that drive me absolutely insane.
1. People who ask a question and when I give an answer they drift off into no mans land.
I know my answers can be long at times, but I am a nervous talker, so just cut me off and say,"Hey, I got it". The best is when someone comes back and asks me the same question that I have already replied to.
2. When I am asked to figure out a problem, and I do, my answer gets denied. I guess that just qualifies as doubt.
I never lie to get out of a situation and when I come to you with an answer it is almost always the solution. I know people don't like the answer they get sometimes, but it is the truth.
This mostly pertains to my career, and in life with people in general. I am sure there have been times I was that guy who was ignoring someone talking, but it is usually not after I have asked the question. So what is the right thing to do when this happens to me? Should I just hang up, walk away?
When someone doubts me I just don't get it. It's like knowing nothing at all about Plumbing, but telling the Plumber he is who about the problem you are having. Even after he has proven to you exactly what the problem is. Maybe it's a lack of faith or trust, but whatever it is, it drives me nuts.

The First Step
I will not mention the Name or the Author of the book, but I have had a wake up call this past December and have been inspired to make some much needed changes in my life.
As some of you know, we lost my mom to breast cancer in July of 2006. Since her passing I have been walking around feeling like she was stolen from me and my family. In a matter of 4 years I have lost my Grandfather, 3 uncles and my mom. This past Summer Casey's Grandfather passed and that really hit me pretty hard as well. He was the man that I can only hope to be. With so much loss since 2002 it has been very hard to not feel like I have been robbed of so many great people.
Reading this book was a wake up call. It is time that I become a survivor instead of a victim. In all of our lives we find ourselves in the middle of a storm. We get lost in it until it is something we get used to. We loose sight in that the storm can end, but it is up to us to take that first step out of it. Think of it like a hurricane and you are in the eye. It is safe there, so why leave? I chose to take that step in my life this year. My mom is gone and isn't coming back. I am still here and need to press on forward because I know it is what she would want.
I can only hope that if you are in a storm, that this may reach you. You don't have to stay in there. You are always one step away from changing it all. Each step will get easier as you you get further and further away.
This past summer Casey and I listened to a song over and over again for months. I heard it, but I didn't really HEAR it until the past month. Everything will be okay. If you have time check it out.

So I created a Blog Site
Today I drove out to Niagara Falls NY I decided I wanted to create a Blog Site. I figured I could write about anything I wanted to and even if no one reads what I have to say, at least I can entertain myself with it. I figured it would be a great release of all the thoughts that run through my brain on a daily basis.
Anyone who knows me understands that I have a VERY STRONG opinion about many things. I am not afraid to talk about the hard subjects. If you are, then maybe this is not for you, but I do welcome any opinion even when it does not line up with my own. I will not always site things for my goal here is to have this be more based on opinion and life experience.
With all that said, I may may bore the heck out of you and I may already have. I hope to grow in this experience and like I always say with anything in life.....(Shout out to Syle) I'm just trying to have a good time!
My Quote for today is:
"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward."
