In two days we will celebrate the coming of a new year. What will 2011 bring for us? What changes will we make to improve our lives and the lives of those around us? Who will we spend our time with and how will we make that time count?
At new years my wife and I often resolve not to make "new year's resolutions" but to continue to increase our daily resolve to do a little better and improve a bit at time, one day at a time. For what does your resolution mean without daily resolving to follow through with that resolve which makes our country great? What worth is a resolution for the new year if your day to day life remains unchanged?
None of us know what the new year brings. The future is a mystery which can only be uncovered as we live each day in the best way that we can and in a manner that will improve our tomorrow. Will our weakened economy finally collapse? Will our government right itself? Or will it continue the uncontrollable downward spiral until we are a bankrupt, bereft, godless and destitute nation?
Let us all live each day so that we can say that we were part of the solution and not the problem. So that we can proudly answer that WE did what was right in the face of opposition! The WE stood on the side of right and good and did our best to teach our children good moral values and respect for each other and for God! For all of the rest, anything else is really Irrelevant!

Catcing up....
Wow! Almost forgot that I had started this blog thing! Life has been busy, to say the least, over the last several months. I graduated from college, selected a grad school, we moved our family, started a new job and began graduate school (these last two are one in the same). As a grad student life could not be busier! I don't think I've been this tired since freshman year of college! I have had several literally sleepness nights and am up to my ears in things that need my attention! I am told that these first couple of years are unbelievably intense, which makes the last 2 or 3 seem much easier. =)
Lately I have been quite sick of hearing about all of the sill stuff that news people call news. Who cares if the pope had a spider crawling on him!! Seriously, was someone just out of things to do and too lazy to do some real news worthy research?!? It's no wonder that our nation is deteriorating both culturally and economically!! But, hey, this is all IRRELEVANT!!

Please feel free to Leave!!
Allright, if you can't tell, I'm a bit of a ranter. That's just the way I am. I don't like to beat around the bush, I just tell it like it is, and that's that.
Now, this e-mail was forwarded to me by my wife, she sends me all sorts of good stuff. But this is awesome. I mean really, don't we have at least one of these guys somewhere in america who has enough gumption to stand up and take on the rest of the world. We are americans, this is our country and WE need to STOP letting people from other parts of the world come into OUR country and tell us how to run it. I think this guy and the founding fathers would hit it off really well. While I feel like the founding fathers would likely feel the need to put our current leadership over their knees and give them what for. It's amazing, I actually thought that I'd give Obama a chance and maybe things would turn out alright after all. HUGE DISSAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!!!! Well, without further adieu her is the e-mail, enjoy! (Just insert America where he uses Australia, I think that he stole this speech from Thomas Jefferson:)
Why didn't WE elect this guy???? :)
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
Right ON!!!!!!!!!

Whole world Needs A Leader Like This!
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..
Separately, Rudd angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote:

White and Proud
The following was in an e-mail forwarded to me by my wife, who received it from her cousin. I am white, I am proud to be so. I have experienced first hand discrimination due to my ethnicity or lack there of...Pleas give this a read and leave your comments. I am not a racist. I believe that, in America, white people are losing their rights just because they are white and I believe that we are all equals. I have many non-white friends, and they agree that no race, white, black, purple, whatever should be afforded privileges that others are not solely based on the color of their skin. I have been turned down for internships, scholarships, and job position either because being Caucasian disqualified me or the potential employer would receive government kickbacks for employing a "minority group" person. Well, look around America! Whites are quickly becoming the "minority" in many, many situations. I say whatever color you are, STAND UP and BE PROUD of YOUR heritage. Especially for you white folk, DON'T just sit by quietly while OUR freedoms are taken away!!!

“WHITE Pride”
Proud to be White:
Michael Richards makes his point………………….
Michael Richards, better known as Kramer, from TV’s Seinfeld does make a good point.
This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points…
Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me ‘White boy’, ‘Cracker’, ‘Honkey’, ‘Whitey’, ‘Caveman’…and that’s OK.
But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink… You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you…so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma’uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP. You have BET…
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we’d be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racist.
If we had White History Month, we’d be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to ‘advance’ OUR live, we’d be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships…You know we’d be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US. Yet, if there were ‘White Colleges’, that would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for out race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow, and orange, and you’re not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him racist.
I am Proud…But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists??
End Quote.

- Now, please pass this message on. This is not meant to be offensive, and there is nothing wrong with what is written here. BE PROUD TO BE WHITE...It's not a crime to be YET!!!! BE PROUD to be AMERICAN!!!!!!!!! You may call me a racist for being proud but I say that that is racist and IRRELEVANT!!!!

School Rant [ My life; or is it?]
Well, let's see..........day 2 here on blog planet. My wife got me started with this because she's a big blogger now and has a HUGE following!!!! Great job honey!
So, I'm a student. My life literally revolves around tests and quizzes in the various classes that I am taking during the semester. I have to prioritize Everything, because, if it can wait until a break between semesters, or is just not really important, the I need to spend my time studying and whatever else that is not important or time pressing becomes Irrelevant. I mean, it's really irrelevant to the teachers that I have a family, and that my son was sick, or my daughter needed help with her homework, or I needed to help make a pinewood derby car, or any other of a miriad of possibilities that may arise in family life the night before a quiz or exam. If you complain to the prof it's simply Irrelevant. Deal with it! But, that's life as a student, or at least a married with 4 children at home student, I'm not sure what life is like for a single, just out of high school, mom and dad pay for everything student. But, I'm pretty sure that it's something like, oh, we have an exam today, dude, I totally forgot about it after my 4th Bong hit! In that case, IRRELEVANT!!!
