Hang On

So Summer is passing us by quickly and kids are about to go back to school but I would say don't be in to much of a hurry for fall. Everyone should swim at least one more time or at least wade. Just because you haven't been in the water for four years doesn't mean you shouldn't do it again. I mean what's stopping you. If your shy you can always get a kiddie pool and put your feet in it as you set out back and sip a cool refreshing beverage. If you really haven't been in the water in four years or so add alcohol (to your beverage, not the pool)  and repeat until your having fun.

Don't get me wrong. I love Fall just as much as the next person but if your always waiting for the next season how are you going to enjoy the last of this one. It's kind of like playing on your cell phone while at the beach and we all know no one would ever do that. You should never be too grown up to enjoy life. After all, that's what living all about!

Well I'm going to keep this short and sweet because summer is still going on and I hear the pool calling me. I hope your summer stays with you a little longer and you appreciate what you have now. Don't always wait on tomorrow to make things better because you'll miss today.

Say It

Tonight is a question that I would like you to answer through comments. Of course this is a lot easier on your computer then your phone. of course if you would like to use your phone please leave and answer regardless. What is your main concern about the future? This is yours personally and there are no parameters. You are open to tell me any concern you have. It can be one word or ten pages. take your time. I want to thank you ahead of time for your cooperation.

Offended?

Wiping Christianity from government. Everybody has an opinion but I think that people . . . as usual only represent what's best for them. If your a Christian you think everything should stay the way it was 20 years ago and if your not you think that every Bible related aspect should be wiped from the public  view. Well like I've said in the past. If your opinion is all one side or the other your probable wrong.

 

You can believe all the hoopla that people say about the founding fathers being this or that but let me warn you that when your listening to this argument weather they were Christians or not both sides are full of  . . . . . well, Themselves. There are only two dogs in this race. Christians and non Christians. The reason being is Christianity has dominated this country since its inception. During tough times Christians that were in government have added a lot of Religion in the Government. Such as In God We Trust and One Nation Under God.

 

Who does this hurt? Well in reality no one. The big thing now a days is to run around and say I'm offended but in truth it is impossible to be offended in something you don't believe in. That's like saying the gargoyles on government buildings offend you. You might not like the way they look but common sense  would tell you just not to look at them. So why are all these people running around acting like this is a subject of life and death. which it isn't. Is because this is more about hurting people and less about being offended.

 

Some people hate Christians and what they stand for. Just like a lot of Christians ask for this by looking down their noses at non Christians. You might think that this is a struggle of religion, it's not, This whole thing is a struggle of Ego. Who will beat who and therefore if your side wins then that just goes to prove that your right and their wrong. It's the equivalent to Arguing over wearing white after labor day. It doesn't change anything. The Christians will still be Christians and the Non Christians will still be  . . . . you guessed it Non Christians. What we really need to protect is are freedom of speech and art and religion.  Because as long as those three stay intact you will be able to display your Christmas tree and nativity scene in your front yard along with candles, Buddha and a cow.

 

And all Non Believers can ignore them. If anyone threatens your right to display what you want it's your HOA. Oh and by the way if this article offends you . . .  I don't care. As always post your comments and I will get back to you. Have a nice Day. ;{) 

Minivay.

Well tomorrow I hit the road and go back home. So I'm going to miss a couple of days. thanks for your support and I'll be back soon. Until then think about if you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Then convince yourself that it's never too late to change. Have a great Friday and a better weekend.

Blink

She walked up the sidewalk wondering if they were going to notice her today. When she walked into the kitchen her mother didn't even hesitate or pause, she just kept making her brother a sandwich "Do you want Mayonnaise or mustard?"

"I want mayo!" her brother said louder then necessary. He always wanted mayo and her mother asked every time to give him a hard time. This brought a smile to her mothers lips and she couldn't help but to smile also. She would miss this well she wasn't sure about that but she thought she would. About twenty minutes latter her father walked in.

 

He kissed her mother and slapped her brother playfully in the head and then grabbed him and gave him half chock hold and half hug from behind. "How was school?"

"Karen punched Jimmy at lunch today."

"Well I'm sure he deserved it." Dad flatly stated.

"He did." her brother said still giddy about his father coming home.

 

Just like her Mother, her father didn't say anything to her or acknowledge her.  She wish she could take it all back. It was her fault that she was in this predicament. When she had come back it had been too late but she couldn't leave once she saw her brother crying and she longed to make it up to her parents but she knew she would never be able to do it until one day she saw them again a long time from now. She turned around without saying goodbye and left. No one even noticed. before she knew it she was in the light and this time not one told her to turn back.

 

She was wrong about missing the things she thought she would miss. She never missed anything again. The second thing was she didn't seem to take anytime at all to see her family. First her Mother then her Father and then her Brother. It all seemed like a blink of the eye but she was still happy to see them.

Paid For!

 Young Americans for Liberty's photo I really don't know what their group does but it sounds like they are on the right track. Except they forgot that as Americans we have the right to complain about anything! They are on to something when it comes to board people trying to get their self worth by telling other Americans how to live.

HEY now I don't fall into that category. I'm not telling you how to live, I'm telling you how to feel alive. lol. So any way try to remember that if your all one side or the other your probable only half right. Besides I shouldn't have to go back to those famous words "He that is without sin, cast the first stone." We need to start worrying about our rights and less about trying to control each other. If your a single man or women and you think being gay is wrong that's fine. But when you try to tell them to be like you aren't you kind of being counter productive. I mean the more gays of your sex the less competition for you. Just saying.

Remember what I've been saying all along. The politicians want us to fight so while we are worried about who's marrying who they can take away more rights and do less. In reality about 90% of us vote our pocketbooks anyway. So if there is no chance of voting the other side, meaning democrat or republican shouldn't we at least start making the crappy people in office do their jobs. We are their bosses. What do you think your boss would do if you turned in crappy work then told him he needed to cut back on his coffee breaks. Our government needs a major revamping. Less about being in my business and more about doing theirs.

This isn't land of the SUSPECTS and home of the SAFE. It's land of the FREE and home of the BRAVE. We already have the best country, why are we trying to become more like those other countries. Politicians pull your heads out. Your just like everyone else. If you think England, Australia, Canada, are better don't let the door hit you in the ass. America is one of a kind. We are the best because we don't follow others. So why are we trying to do things that Hitler and Mussolini and other jackasses did. Like spy on our own people, take away freedom of speech, take away guns, and make us totally reliant on the government that cant find it's ass with both hands.

If you don't think that they are trying to take away your rights take this into consideration. If you speak out about the government like I just did. They have the legal right to come into my home without a warrant and take me forever without a trial and if they do release me they can put me on the terrorist watch list and that will take away every single right I have as an American. I won't be able to travel, have guns of any kind, They can drain all my bank accounts, take my house, my car, forbid me to see my family and friends, and snatch me in the middle of the night anytime they want and keep me in a dark damp hole while they torture me.

You say they can't do that. Oh Ya? If I'm not a criminal, I don't have any criminal rights. I won't be considered a traitor, just a possible terrorist and I'm not a POW. So yes they can. I wonder what a red white and blue swastika would look like. Now I'm not pretending to be important enough to get this kind of treatment but how are you suppose to get both sides of a story when they can wipe an American citizen off the map like swatting a bug. If the United States Government told you I was a terrorist would you believe it. Nobody that knew me would but that's the point. When your trying to sway a nation you need a lot more then your friends and family to believe you.

You see since 911 we have given them permission to do what ever they want and guess what. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" I guess you all think it's going to go different this time, for us, than it did for every other civilization since forever. History doesn't repeat it's self because it's inevitable, It repeats it's self because we keep on doing the same stupid shit. You should never support any law as an American no matter what the circumstances are that takes away another's rights especially under the falsehood of safety. That's what makes us different. Are we really going to let them decide for all of us. I mean why not. there doing such a bang up job already. We need to start being real Americans that stand up for America and stop being a Democrat, republican, independents or what ever other category you can fit yourself into.

We as a people have stood up to the government several times and we have always eventually got our way. When people have lost there lives standing up to wrong doing by our government. . . . well you can't get more American then that. Can you Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. King. There are thousands of others, don't you think we should have more respect for their sacrifices. Every single right that is wrote into our constitution has been bought by blood. Think about that the next time you tell someone else how to live and don't worry if the minority keeps running the majority you won't have to worry about that. Pretty soon the government will tell them how to live. Lets stop applauding when our leaders break and stretch the law to mandate minority regulations on us just because you belong to that party. Winning is not that important when we all lose.

If the government was doing their jobs in the first place we wouldn't have whole cities and states in bankruptcy. We wouldn't have corporations killing kids for profit. and a thousand other things that our government could have stopped long before they happened. Oh I don't know like the great depression. Starvation of our children in our own country. Instead of spending billions on Something super important like people smoking weed. Lets stop pissing on the lawn while the house is on fire. You don't have to agree with me, that's the beauty of being an American. But we need to start standing for something and we need to do it together. I think a good thing to stand for would be something we already bought. Freedom. I didn't go fight for my country there so I could lose it here.

Your Job

Ok lets get ready for the future. First of all lets stop thinking that someone else is going to fix our problems. Number one is your kids. Your kids are being told by society the wrong things all the time. On TV, on the internet, by the kids at school and by adults all the time. It's your job to make sure that they understand this attack and why it is being waged on them. The truth of the matter is the only person that benefits from your child being informed is your child and you. IF you don't stand up for them then who will? Calvin Klein, Victoria's Secret, the Internet, Apple Inc., Teacher, A Sports Coach, who is teaching your kids why they need to be smarter when it comes to life. I'll tell you, If your not then there is probable a 99.9% chance that they have no idea that they are being scammed on a colossal scale.

 

One of the biggest weaknesses we have as American's is believing the hype and if your feeding it to your child your more to blame then the multimillion dollar companies trying to pry every cent out of your child's hands. If you have the money and you want to spend a 1000 dollars on a purse that's your business but don't buy your daughter the same purse or even a 100 dollar purse because you are setting them up for failure in life and all their friends too. Your right, your kid will be the envy of everyone at school but at what cost. When you don't give a realistic view of the world then you are failing as a parent.

 

You should be talking to your child about saving money and the evils of credit cards and banks and outrageous prices on what things cost. You should at least a couple of times in the 18 years that you have them spend some time helping out the less fortunate, the earlier the better. I don't think it's going to have much of an impact on your 18 year old. As a matter of fact I don't think you would be able to get them off the phone long enough to even know what was going on. A 11 year old though can be told to leave their phone at home. If you cant get your 11 year old to put down their phone you have bigger problems and need to get control of your household. If you can't put down your phone you can't correct them.

 

Back to our problem, this shows them reality. Some of the people you encounter in need have college degrees and had good paying jobs. Don't fool yourself. If you don't think this is reality I can tell you it's a lot more realistic then buying your child the best of everything. You can buy your child gifts, I know I did, but I never bought her the most expensive of anything and I let her know that when she was out on her own that things were going to be tuff. She's still learning but she actually knows what I was telling her rather then ruining up a bunch of credit cards trying to buy the things she is use too.

 

So unless you plan on supporting your kids habbits for the rest of their lives your need to stop. If you are going to support your kids for the rest of your life and then your going to leave them a couple of million when you die then buy all means do what you think is best. Just know that kids that have everything get bored and boredom leads to things that I don't have enough time left in this year to cover. Your child's financial education  is your responsibility, even if you don't have a clue your self it's your job to make your child's life is not like yours but better.

 

Don't let society brainwash your child. Adults tell kids what makes life covenant for them. A coach can be a good example but his main purpose is to teach your kid to play a game not teach your child how to survive. A teachers main job is to teach your kid whatever subject is on the curriculum. Besides did you know that Teachers and Coaches lie to kids all the time. Ya, if you don't know this your not paying attention. Why wouldn't they. Do you think that other people put your kids best interest above their agenda. Heck half of my daughters coaches and teacher didn't even have kids. That doesn't make them crappy teachers or coaches it just makes them too inexperienced to be giving your child advice, besides that's not their job.

 

Now I know that none of us know everything that is going on in our child's life but if you teach your kids the real ways of the world you don't have to. Make sure that your kid knows that they don't have to believe adults. They just have to be respectful to those above them.
