Well, I felt convicted tonight because I have not been to vigilant on making entries so I figured I would fire on off for the new year.
I have had a few people ask me what my new year resolutions are and I really don't have any.
I try to live my life in a resolute fashion day to day, just to keep going. When it comes down to it regardless if you are young and just starting out or older...such as my self with a a lot of history laced with failures and successes.
Whither or not you have a house hold full of or extended family or basically by your self....such as my self.
At the end of the day, when you stare into that mirror and prepare to close your eyes for that day. You are standing alone and naked to the testament of your day, what you did or said, right or wrong, good or bad.
All we really have is our word and integrity. So I remain resolute to never give up my dream to succeed and to concentrate on what I want instead of putting my energies into what I don't want.
I wrote this thing entitled " Be " a while back and every now and then I read it....I reread it tonight.
So, if you go to the gym, keep going, if you are trying to write a book, keep writing.
If you are in a good relationship, keep doing what you are doing...you are very fortunate.
If you are still looking for that special person to rock your world, keep looking.
If you just want to get layed, keep on trying, don't give up.
If you are getting layed but want better, try being thankful and concentrate on what you want, not want you don't want.
I don't know if any of this makes any sense to any of you, but thanks for reading and lets make 2011 a year of US getting what we want out of life.

You can see I am really committed to this blog...haven't written since 2008....WOW !!
A lot of things have happened since then, still afloat and loving life. I really didn't have much to say, just wanted to write something.
I really don't believe in new year resolutions much, I think it is a lot like Christmas in a way. I think you ought to give of your self and time year round not just December.
So, as I feel about Christmas, I feel about Resolutions...one should remain resolute all the time to be the best they can be regardless of the situation at hand.
It is not always easy, but it is always necessary to continue on.
I remain a standard member, with not much room to move here. Is it a good thing, who knows. I know there are some nice people out there and would I like to make contact...yes, but at what price.
For anyone reading this I wish you and your families love and happiness.
Well, I gotta go, have some work to finish up so I can go to bed.

Well,...hello everyone, it has been awhile since I have entered any articles or my feelings on any issues.
Today, or should I say tonight, I wanted to remind us all how important and really significant we are to each other wither or not we ever meet, what we do affects us all in one way or another.
We never know the true depth of our kindness and generosity and who is affected down the line. And on the flip side the same goes for the negative we share towards one another.
We are facing very interesting times at present, financial turns,ethical discisions, moral stances and we are living in the pages of history.
How we participate in this wonderful time is how you respond.
The dicisions that you make, that I make will have an impact on history, the world and our .
You may be wondering where I am going,.....here it is.
We are at present...14...DAYS to Nov. 4th. Election day, the big day. I am appealing to you all to place your vote for Obama for the next President.
I feel that he has run a very good and consistant campain and has risen above the fray and has shown his brillance over and over for the last 15 months.
His campaign has been focused....on the middle class and ending
this war.
He has reached across the isles during his run for President and has attracted the like of Colin Powell, another American Hero to stand with, along with many more
He has chosen a great man, Joe Biden,..to be his running mate.
A man with awesome experiance, proven experiance.
I do not want to waste my time or your time by bashing the Republican ticket.....my party, I might add.
The bullit points are that McCain has run a mis-aligned and unfocused campaign.
McCain has and remains to keep his focus on protecting big business at the cost of the middle class, he is out of touch.
During his campaign, he has thrown my party, the republican party under the bus at every turn,....and lest we forget he is one of the good old boys....his motto," it wasn't me , it was them ".
John McCain has shown himself to be a devisive administrator
instead an all inclusive leader like Obama
His choice in a running mate shows his lack of good judgment and respect for this great nation. McCain didn't even know her. He chose a stranger......not cool
She is not a bad person. She is just not intellectually fit to be our President in good times or God forbid, bad times. Palin
does not have those tools and or support, she knows no one in Washington DC good or bad.
History will prove me correct when I say that the only thing that Obama is dangerous to in America is the status Quo.
So, I ask you all, Republican, Demacrate and Independant to all come and stand behind Obama for President and give him your support.
For those that are in the 8 percent in our great nation that will turn away due to his color......if you were in a burning building and a man or a woman of a different color offered you a life line,...would you take it?.....my friend, you are in that building now.
With Obama we will be ushering in a new day in America...and the world alike. Do this for your self, your and your country.
I am hopeful and excited about our future

Hello everyone,....it has been awhile and I just wanted to say hello and happiness for everyone.
There has been so much happening as of late, that I am afraid I could be typing all night and I just don't have that luxury of time right now.
So I just wanted to say that I have been watching a lot of news, doing reports, quoting new and existing customers and still selling the worlds greatest cleaning products and also a little bit of dancing on the weekends and hanging with friends.
I also have been doing a little bit of
dating and working on being a better friend to my friends by letting them know how grateful I am to have them in my life.
The dating thing can be a hit or miss type of adventure, but I have to remind my self to keep it all in perspective.....it's good to have a choice.
The most valuable thing you can give to a friend is your time and attention.
You know the one thing I really love about dancing is how free I feel when I am moving and grooving. To me it's about connecting with that freedom.
I don't know if I ever shared this...but, what the heck, I used to a male stripper/ dancer, I danced
with a group called the Dancin Machine, those were some great times and a number of years back.
I will have to share a story or two from that experience sometime.
Remember to go easy on each other, because when you are judging, you are not loving. That's something that I have been working on as well,for my self.
There is so many changes coming our way that this is a time to cherish and not take for granted.
Those that are following the political airways,
don't despair and remember to cast your vote for Obama.
I dig you all and I hope you feel the same way about me.
Be good to each other.................

A movement of hope and change

Well, hello everyone, I just finished listening to Baracks speech on closing one chapter and opening a new one that will take us all closer to the change we all desire as Americans,regardless of our religion,age or party line or gender.
We have come to a crucial point in our time line and we have to embrace this change that is upon us. There is so much at stake.
This momentum, this movement for change is bigger than the Clinton machine, the McCain train...It is even bigger than Barack Obama.
It is time that all Americans regardless of your party line to get behind your champion, Barack Obama and embrace the change for the better.
In a time in history when gas prices are decreasing the flow of traffic and major car manufacturers are literally dropping major lines in mid production and airlines seeing an increase of fuel prices in the billions in a very short time and a war that continues to increase in cost and has not made America any more secure than the day it all began.
The Republicans,..my party has no clear cut answer other than to continue Bushes plan of occupation, while the dollar continues to fall and fuel and medical cost continue to rise.
We cannot afford the empty rhetoric of racial divides and stereotypes and sexism and empty class struggles.
For those that wish to hold onto a false notion that this race is about race is sadly mistaken and living in denial. Dare I say it's bigger than all of the drama that has flowed so far and will flow during this historical bid for change and the White house.
It is about the survival of our union. It is about pulling our great nation back from a dark crevasse, it's about restoring our trust and yes, dare I say HOPE......HOPE springs eternal.
America can have her hope and pride back.
Today, Barack Obama has become the Democrats nominee for the Presidency of the United States of America, God bless you and God bless Barack Obama.
Support this Island of hope that will light the fires across the skies that will tell the world that America has awakened and yes,....forgiven her self for our empty indulgences of the not so distant pasts.
Lets all stand together for real hope and change and open the doors to a new leader named Barack Obama.
God bless America and keep her strong against any that would want to weaken her or divide her.
And God bless all of us that get up every day with faith to pursue our dreams and passions.

What is the dollar really worth...and what are we prepared to do

In my opinion, it's not that everything has gone
up, but that the dollar has been greatly reduced in value due to a number of issues and over-all world wide confidence in the dollar and the American markets outside of our boarders.
If you look at the current price of Gold, you will see that gold has increased by 700.00 in price,less than two years ago, gold was at 350.00 to 400.00 an oz., Gold now is at 1000.00 an ounce.
The reflection of where gold is a reflection of how much the dollar has lost in value and world wide confidence levels.
We have major upside-down trade agreements with China and lots of money out there we have not collected on. We the people need to start growing our own leaders as opposed to leaving it up Washington.
One thing we have to do is stop reinvesting on bad deals. There are a lot of nations that we pay on a regular basis to be good and not fight with their neighbors and to democratize their countries,...in my opinion, we need to stop this.
Any country that does not see the value of being a part of and nurturing a democracy....does not deserve it and ought not be on the payroll of the United States.
We need to really evaluate our military objectives and the many conflicts we are involved in, for the ones that are culturally
and historically motivated, we need to really
scrutinize and I feel there are many we are involved with that would and don't have any bearing and or impact on America, those we need to pack up and come home.
We need to end our time and influence in Iraq and let them stand on their own, they have tasted the American way and heard all the motivational speeches, their leaders are now being educated in America. They know that Democracy is real and Good!!.
Now the question is...how bad do they want Democracy.Do they only want it bad enough as long as we are in the region..If the latter is the case, it's time to come home even quicker.
We fought hard for it as Americans. I feel any nation that wants democracy will have to do the same to fully appreciate it and nurture it.
On the issue of oil and gas, we need to open up our oil fields in Alaska and start pumping our oil and refining our oil here at home. We are at a crucial point in our survival as a nation.
The oil is not made of dead dinosaurs and if that was the case, we would have ran out a long time ago, have you noticed that they do not tell us that lie any longer.
Oil is a naturally occurring bio substance and has been linked to a microbe that makes it,and replenishes it, we were told only a half truth on the dead animal part.
The oil companies will be regulated sooner than later and they know it. In the future, companies will not allowed to do as the oil barons have done and the foot notes of history will prove me out.
What the large American oil companies and opec have done has visited economic terrorism on the world at large.
We as American people need to know that we ARE the government and the day of special interest are numbered and we need to declare this truth as a collective consciousness.
Our government needs to set limits on what is considered criminal on the extortion and price gouging the collective oil merchants and barons have placed on the shoulders of the American population, as well as world wide.
I feel in the future if we do not handle this now, the day could come that OUR Government would have to take control of these companies
for the survival of our union and that is a dark highway America as a whole cannot afford to go down.
Alternative fuels need to be a first priority over space exploration at present,because if we solve the alternative fuel question, we will jump start our space program to explore the cosmos.
Humanities next step in our evolution is to shed bio fuels and embrase the fuel source of the cosmos, which is Hydrogen and the energy of dark matter ( black holes )
On exploring alternative fuels,...we need it to be separate from the utility companies and the money has to come from sources not connected to fossil fuels/oil/gas industries....why you ask, .....because it is not in their best interest to see the puzzle solved.
It will be in our best interests as a people and country as well as the human race to end this dependency on oil and retire it to the history books.
America needs to embark in building a 40 foot wall between the boarders of Mexico and America and we need to employ our prison populations in each host host state for preliminary ground preparation for the wall, for the Indian Nations with reservations that cross boarder areas, that land can be either bought/traded or fenced accordingly. Texas, Arizona and California as well Mexico would benefit from this monumental project.
This wall would spur financial growth in the construction field and yield new advancements in terra-forming. There could be migratory grids for small land animals and adjacent oases park lands manned by our military as well as new check
points that make it harder for illegal traffic to continue and close down the old ones that have proven to be uncontrollable, wall them up ,if you will.
By changing up the check point crossings new roads would go in to provide new growth opportunities for south of the American boarder,
as well as on the American side of the wall.
Also,we could actually clean up and extract our pesticides from the colorado river that flows
into mexico and at this walled area, we could work jointly with Mexico on a energy program involving the Colorado river, by creating a controlled catch basin for run off of the Colorado river that at this time dumps into the ocean.
This would be a huge project that could reap huge
financial wind falls for our country and the region.
I feel vision will restore America back to her Golden Era.....I believe.

After Super Tuesday and the words from all three
candidates for president have spoken..........
At the end of the day, who would vote into office
today if today was the big day.
John McCain...Hillary Clinton...Barack Obama...
And,of course why.
I have my own take on this race as it is folding out before us at present, as much as everyone else.
I pretty much at first thought that Hillary was the predestined one to wear the Head of State Honor.Then out of nowhere came Berack Obama, suddenly the peoples choice.
Then out of a strategic move came Hillary on super Tues and stole the show.
I believe what has now happened is this race will continue between Hillary and Obabma for the rest of the year due to Obamas's inability to close on Tuesday night.
McCain thinks he is going to benefit from the Democrats fighting each other.....I believe that is wrong.
The only way in my opinion for McCain to win is the Republican party is going to have to commit to ending the war in the Middle East, committing to focus on the real threat...he lives in Afghanistan.
Also the Republicans are going to have to come to grips with the out of control spending and fix our trade agreement with China.
The GOP needs to build a REAL fence between Mexico and America,also restore the confidence of the dollar across the world.
The Republican party needs a major rebuild from the basement up and an influx of new blood to survive.
Ronald Reagan in my opinion was the best of the best. We need his type of leadership and charisma to rescue the American theme.
If the Republican party cannot reconnect with the American people and the spirit of America they,...we, us,.. will not win in 2009.
I have nothing against McCain, I feel he was just the best choice out of what the Republican party had to offer.......I am not comfortable with that, at all.
I feel Hillary would be business as usual,can she do the job...yes with-out a doubt.But remember...she is one of the boys,same as always.
We had 2 Bushes and now 2 Clintons..who's next. Jeb Bush out of Florida.
The only real choice we have for something different and real change is with Obama.
What is so wrong with talking with friend and foe,....politics as usual and fear mongering has got us where we are at.
I think America needs to look at herself and re-evaluate for real...I am not supporting Obama because of our shared race or because I am a Democrat, I am a republican that feels we need serious change in America.
This war and our porous boarder is draining our funds and straining our infrastructure.
I don't care to see this war continue on for 100 years and we have to send a message to washington that business as usual is not good for business

A little to late, as I stood on the port side of the vessel Namara, peering out into the fog of the early mist. I could feel the cold dampness seep to my bones.
As I clutched my coat Collier to trap what warmth was left and could here the distant bells from where I left you some how beckoned me to return.
The sea gulls, they taunt me and play about reminding me of my lack of courage, in that moment, I realized what I must do.
Ship master,ship master!!,...sir?. Turn this vessel around immediately....But sir, that request is highly irregular, I do say.
But,..you must my good man, for I have made a dreadful mistake and must return to the lady Carolin.
The Ship master stairs at a man revered for his composer and is vexed by his demands and lack of authority in such a matter.
Bring this vessel around immediately, I am ordering you to do so now my good man..or you will suffer the consequences.
Sir, would you care to send a wire and we can arrange something at our next port,meantime would you care to see the Doctor or better yet, a hot toddy sent to your cabin.
The Ship master's eyes now fixed and waiting for a gentleman's closure......
As I peered about the midshipmen and ship master
waited...
I turned and realized what must be done be done. In the mist I heard a fisherman's runabout coming into dock and saw the faint glow of their lanterns and saw my chance to escape my dreadful circumstance of my lack of courage that I now hold in my growing loins.
As a man gone mad I turn and run to my salvation,..the runabout. As I flee across the wooden deck, I hear the ships crew running to catch a man they fear has lost his senses,with the doctor in tow holding his needled elixir.
I climb the railing and call out to the approaching fishing vessel and as I commit to my
courage and absolute desire for the lady Caroline, I commit to the sea and as the hands of
the shipman barely graze my attire, I swim in furious fashion towards the passing fishery.
With hands out reached, they pull a man from the drink...a smiling, happy man they think has maybe gone mad,...but not so.
The siloette of the crew of the Namara on her deck side stood in silence and vanished into the mist.
I am Sir Vincent and I am undoing a dreadful mistake and returning to the main land and will
gladly pay passage.
The Captain approached and asked what mistake I was undoing and I told him that I chose to turn my back on love because I did not have the courage to see it through.
I am returning to the lady Caroline.....at that moment the old man stepped into the light of the lantern held up by the puzzled crewman.
The captain and I were the same man, he was a much older version of me and as I stared into his..I mean my old eyes, I saw my alternate path. All the memories and years crashing down and I saw me standing over Carolin's grave and the madness that followed and the war that changed all men.
At that moment....the old man said thank you...
at this point, time had no relevance and I was standing on the dock. I ran as a man possessed, through the market and Bowery and up through the gardens and up the path to the gate of my beloved Caroline.
I burst in and found no sign of Caroline, I looked about in frantic fashion and caught a faint hint of her perfume wafting from upstairs, brought to me by the seas night air.
I bounded up the stairs,my heart felt as if it would explode from my chest....There was Caroline on the deck looking out at the sea.
I called to her and took her into my arms and we held each other and cryed and as I looked over her shoulder,I saw the faint glow of the fishing vessel that saved me vanish into the mist,never to be seen again.
