I am not a Terrorist!

I am sure many if not all of you have heard about the Tea Party movement.  For those that don’t know much about it or never heard of it I will summarize it by saying it is a libertarian movement trying desperately to convince the American people to do an easy comparison between 1776 America and 2011 America and notice the “subtle” differences.  This country that I love was run for the longest time under the law, The Constitution of the United States.  As George W. Bush once stated “It’s just a ‘G.D.’ piece of paper”.  He was right, it is just a piece of paper, but what makes it great is people believe in it and have died protecting the ideas and freedoms stated on that piece of paper. 

My point in this blog post is not to join in on the flame war between the Democrats and the Tea Party or to condone or condemn either party.  I simply want to say that before you call someone a Terrorist perhaps you should listen to them, know what it is they are doing and try to understand their position before you make yourself look like a wanker.

It is true that people like Alex Jones (infowars.net, prisonplanet.com) give libertarians bad names by being conspiracy theorist and spreading anti government propaganda that is so off the wall and crazy that even I’m not convinced.  You must realize that just because one grape is sour the whole bunch isn’t bad. 

I will say that I do relate to the Tea Party on the fact that I will stand by the Constitution before anything else and it is not just the police or the Military’s job to protect the Constitution, the responsibility falls to ALL American citizens.  Something this country has lost is pride in our heritage.  We should all be proud that we are independent from Britain, but also realize what caused that to happen in 1776 and turn an inquisitive eye towards the current US government and see if it’s time for a change BACK to what this country used to be.

Just an update

So it has been quite a while since I have blogged… I am a little sorry for that.  News updates include I have moved away, far away from my parents.  Although the freedoms are nice I do miss the home cooked meals, but grandma invites me over on the occasion for some southern cooking and it makes life great once again.

As many of you know I have a girlfriend (yay!)  who is having a birthday this Saturday, so if you see her or know her wish her a Happy Birthday.  I do want to talk about last night for a moment.  It was her birthday dinner because she works Friday and Saturday so Thursday was the closest I could make it.  The plan was romantic candle lit dinner with a meal I cooked, slow dancing the night away with a wonderful collaboration of songs, and diamonds were involved also.  Well that was the plan at least… what really happened was the oven screwed up, the chicken wasn’t thawed and she wanted Wendy’s.  So we had a candle lit fast food dinner.  And as screwy as that sounds it was absolutely the best time ever.  Also the first time she ever wanted to dance with me, normal I have to make her.  All in all it was an amazing evening and I can’t get over how lucky I am to be with her.

More headlines include shotguns and swords (yea I got a sword) and the horrible death of spiders.  None of this seems interesting enough to blog about so Ill move on.

My website business is getting a lot action, but not a lot of revenue.  Seems certain clients and a certain corporation likes to wait a few months after the work is done to pay.  But I’m not bitter…

Anyway I guess I should stop blogging and do some real work, may be hanging with the guys tonight, it’s the end of the summer for some of them and I want to make it rather memorable J

420 (NOT about pot. I promise)

I thought I would drop in and tell you all how things have been going as of late. 

I have been working intently on the "I Chose This Day" advertising campaign.  

I have recently been composing and transposing hymns from my church hymnal in to piano and violin duets.  

I have found, as many people in the music industry have I'm sure, that the classical works are sometime a wise choice when you are trying to establish a sense of style and class, instead of whatever that stuff is the Black Eyed Peas call music.

I do believe I am cursed by a sad muse.  Seems I have to be depressed to write good songs, as of Monday night I have been posing a rather sunny outlook on life and the quality of my verses are just not there. But at least I can smile again.

Just a bit of my mind for today...

My Time in Chicago

Well all I can say about Chicago is Awesome!!! I do believe I will be revisiting this wonderful city sometime in warmer, dryer weather.  The food in downtown is rather pricy but it was worth it.  Thursday Pres. Obama walked through the Hilton and ate at the Gaslight, and the cool part is I was at the Gaslight Club when he walked in.  But of course I didn’t have my camera with me but still it was cool to see him.

Last night was probably the best ever, I went down town at 1pm, then got a little lost and walked around for a few hours.  Went to the Mac store, it was crazy awesome, rode on a bus tour, that was cool, and went to the White Sox game, my favorite part.  Met a guy and gal at the game and they invited me to hang out in this place called Russian Division.  It was an awesome party, spilled out in the street. 

As far as the work aspect goes, the meeting was highly productive.  I was assigned to the advertising campaign for an upcoming project.  I am really looking forward to starting it.  The planed GA meeting is in Pittsburg for 2012 and by then I hope to have the Godequips project and this new project that I cant give name to at this time… 

I am writing this on a plane, I expect to land around 4pm EST in Charlotte.  Then I’m headed home for some sweet, sweet sleep J

Here

Well I made it here, and have been working all the while.  The pizza here is just as good or better than I had imagined.  Most of the people are nice.  Tomorrow is the big meeting, I am presenting my web page and network solutions to the Bord of  Directors.  Should be fun.  I have yet to take any pictures but I will get on that tomorrow when I do my tour and go to the game.  But for now it is sleepy time. Good night all.

Dear Windy City

Well it is 10pm on Wednesday night, I board my plane at 2:50pm tomorrow.  Right now it is a bitter sweet feeling.  On one hand I need a break from Lenoir, and the other I know my life is here and I'm OK with that. Anyway I cant wait to eat a real Chicago style pizza.  Ill write up a little post every night I'm up there with pictures and some video of the White Sox game Ill be going to.

Third day of Fast

          Pain is the best way to describe what I am feeling.  Not just hunger pains (although most has subsided as my body has started to eat its self) but pain on a deeper level.  While I spend my time in meditation lots of flaws about myself pop to the front of my mind, everything from saying my first cuss word in elementary school all the way to… well never mind.  The point is I am starting to change the idea I have of myself.  I am going from version 1.2 to a new 2.0 beta; yes it is a beta version until it has been properly tested.  I am nowhere close to finding this new person within me so the fast will continue.  I would recommend fasting to anyone who is up for a challenge and needs good soul searching time.  Trust me God will show you things about yourself that will both scare you and disgust you but as I am finding out it is good to know these things and correct them.
