TO GET IN OR GET OUT OF THE MILITARY

Well, lately I have been surrounding myself with the idea of getting out of the Navy. Yup, I may actually get out, pfhhhh, yea right. I cant get out, to much to do, and honestly, I love spending all of your tax money....hehe, jk. No but seriously, I really enjoy protecting this country, just wish I had a much wider range to grow. I have outgrown my current ground and I think I may actually be ready for more. I want more and need to have more. More job excitement that is. So I have recently made the decision to become a Mustang. All of you people, who are reading this, that really know me and work with me, DO NOT DISCUSS THIS IN THE OFFICE. I will be thoroughly upset, I have gone to great lengths not to let the senior leadership in that office know that I am doing this, in fact, only two people in that office know about this, Troy Giger and Butto, and they both know why. I am very excited to have the opportunity to become a Mustang, and actually not many people get the chance. All I have to do to complete this is actually become board eligible for E7. Which should not be difficult. I thoroughly enjoy my rate, but I want to actually run the show. I am an extremely good leader, when people will allow me to lead. I do not hesitate, I take everything that I know and if I do not know it, I will research it. My subordinates usually have a pretty high Morale unless it is something they are dealing with personally, which I am fully willing to help them out with or point them in the right direction, in which they could get help. I am ready and willing to accept the challenges and the opportunity to prove myself as a Mustang.

Also, I am very excited lately that I may actually be doing good now days. I finally started working out again and I'm really happier, which is great. I'm almost done with this divorce that has been the center of all this depression. Because there were times that I just didn't know what my soon to be ex wife wanted...did she want to stay, did she want to go. Finally, I woke up, a few weeks ago, and went and filed and had her Charged with the paperwork. Now just waiting on her signature. The thing to know is that I fully Love my wife, and probably always will. But I cant be in a relationship with a woman who never calls, never writes, and moves away without telling her husband where she is going while he is deployed. That just isn't right. Well, I can honestly say, I am happy! The happiest I have been in about a year and a half. I have my Birthday coming up on Saturday, I have a roof over my head, which a great rate on my mortgage. Life goes on and I am happy to be apart of it.

END OF THE WEEK

This was a great weekend. Although I have a cold, I have gotten a lot accomplished, and very proud of that. This weekend, I finished up the little details of missed painting spots in the kitchen, and got the whole living room painted. I have three days to complete the dining room and the fireplace wall, since I want that to standout in the living room. My grandmother will be here sometime next week I think, which I cant wait. I havent seen her in a long while, and it will be great to have her visit. This is the first time that a family member will be visiting me and I want everything to be perfect for her. My furniture in my living room is all out of place right now, because the walls are still drying, but Im thinking about redoing the layout of the living room. Im uncertain as to where to place my TV wether it should go above the fireplace or on the wall that used to have my couch up against it. I purchased a wall mount for it, so I want to use it, just unsure which place to put it. If you have any ideas, let me know. Im open to all suggestions. As for the healthcare reform, I apologize to all of you, because I honestly have not been watching the news or reading the paper lately due to personal things going on in my life. Im turning a new leaf and need to work on me at the moment instead of following the news. So dealing about me, I am feeling much happier today, and cant believe that the sun actually came out. I cant wait to finally get my home in tip top shape and the way that I truely want it. Granted for some of the stuff I will have to save up for, but it is well worth it. Have a good night, I will chat with all of you soon.

WHAT TO DO

I am kind of upset with myself. I recently had to write a personal essay for my English class, and I have to say it took a long time for me to even think about what I wanted to write about. I wrote about three different essays and when I read over each of them, there was no moral to the stories that I told. They didn't answer that question Why. It makes me ask, if any of the events that I went through in my past, actually made an impact on my life. I'm sure they have, but I honestly didn't see it when I wrote it down. So that really got me upset. I think that the essay I submitted was the closest I could come, but I know that there is more to that story that maybe I am missing. It did happen almost 20 years ago so I guess I have a reason for not actually remembering every event that occurred.

In brighter news though, I think I found a color for my living room. Since I didn't like the blue, I'm going with a Brown tone. I think the natural look will increase the colors I want to use as accents. I am far from being an interior decorator, I'm more of an Outside type of person. Very much into extreme sports. So when it comes to colors and mixing colors and pulling different textures into the mix, yeah, I'm not your man for the job. But give me a parachute and a free plane ride up to about 12,900 ft AGL and you can bet your ass I will jump out of that perfectly good airplane.

Extreme sports to me is a way that I can live on the edge. I really enjoy the thrill and satisfaction it gives me. It reminds me that we live everyday with respect to the world around us. Also, I fully believe that taking things to the extreme allows you to actually feel one with nature.

COLOR

Well, for the last three days I have been wondering, what color to actually paint my home. My grandmother will be coming in the middle of next month and I have about 10 different colors on the wall in the living room. Yes, I know, I'm crazy. I really want a modern, contemporary, sophisticated color to be on my walls. I went and got a blue-gray for my first color on Saturday and I came home, excited that I finally got the color I was looking for, well I threw a little bit on the wall and noticed that it was pretty much black at first. As the paint dried it did get lighter but it was still too dark for the living room. I want a dark color but not one that makes the place look claustrophobic, if you know what I mean. So I went with a lighter blue-sky blue...yes I know its the opposite side of dark, but I thought maybe that would brighten up the room, and brighten up it did, and now it looks a little too kid like. I am still up in the air on the color for the living room right now. But the one color that I did decide on that, I had no issues choosing was my kitchen. My kitchen color is called honeycomb. And it is in between yellow and gold. It works with my kitchen because my tile has gold-brown streaks in it and my soon to be counter top will have gold streaks in it that will tie the wall into the room. Plus it just brightens up the space, and for some reason makes me feel good. I really hope to have that room completely painted by Saturday morning so, I can spend the rest of the day power washing my home. It really needs a lift. My living room, I need to find a paint color...if you know of a color, please feel free to respond and let me know. I am open to all colors, so just tell me.

My home needs a lot of personal touches that I really want to make on it, but the cost of things right now and my pay check really do not go well together. Right now, I get paid well, but due to recent circumstances, I now have a major debt placed on me, and I am trying to pay it off. Its very stressful and pretty much sucks. I stress about money issues because it really isn't me. I am a person who never gets credit cards or loans and only lives off of my own money. But when your wife does use a credit card and then wants to have a divorce. Mostly the guy gets stuck with the outcome, and right now I just don't feel like fighting it anymore. I'm tired, stressed, and depressed. I hate the way I feel right now cause I am an outgoing individual that normally works out A LOT. I haven't actually worked out in about 3 months, and I feel disgusting. I feel that painting the house is also like getting a new start, arrange the furniture put up new curtains, and I will be ready to start this new single life. Working out is my main focus. I love working out it relieves stress and created endorphins, which make you happy. And that is what I want to be, Happy.

RESPECT

Well, I am finally all caught up with my work from last week. I have been so busy dealing with stuff at work that it is all that I can think about right now. But one of the assignments last week in my English class reminded me that if we respect our surroundings, then everything in the world will turnout just fine. My Uncle Larry is one of the people that I look up to in my life and I always craved to have the amount of Aloha that he had. It is hard to explain the essence that I am talking about unless you witness it first hand, but the grace, respect, and helpfulness that he shows everyone is something I have always tried to achieve. I think I am good at respect and helpfulness but not in the same way that he does it. His love for GOD, family, friends, and people in general are all above me. I still try to do all those things on his level. Maybe if everyone in the world would show the same respect for everyone, as they would like unto them, this world would be so much different then what it is now. Now we have a corrupt government and people who are only looking out for them. I agree with what Glen Beck has been saying on FOX News. We do need to get the corrupt out of DC and get this Government back to the way it is suppose to be. The people can do this. The people are the ones that brought this country up from nothing. The people are the ones who can overthrow or change the government, not the people in DC. They really have no control over this…. WE the people of the United States have the control. The people in DC are only our puppets. They represent us and are suppose to tell everyone what we would like done, and if everyone in the US is telling their representatives or senators the same things that is when it is placed into a bill and passed. Not the other way around. WE hold the responsibility to our Children and our Children’s Children to ensure that they have a future in a Free Democracy.

NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT

Well, today I have barely had time to actually think about what I want to write about. So I'm just going to go with the flow of things. I did hear however, that congress is not going to approve the new Obama Health Reform, instead they have decided to look at other options. And as I stated earlier they are going to slow down and take their time developing the new Health Care System...because after all it is our lives that they are dealing with. On another note, Obama is now pushing his Financial Reform into play. I have not heard very much about this Reform but you can bet that I will be following it and will definitely have some sort of opinion on the ordeal.

What is up with Congress lately? I mean not only are they picking apart the Obama Administration but now they are questioning Obama's Czars. All Presidents have had Czars, and like all Presidents Obama has chosen to use Czars, but he does have a lot of them now doesn't he, twice as much as any other President in US History...perhaps that is why Congress is so upset. There are more then 30 Czars that they do not have oversight on. Go figure, Big Brother trying to keep control of their own...lol. I promise you I will watch more of the news tomorrow, so I will have more information to talk about. But I am extremely tired...have a wonderful night everyone.

GREAT DAY TODAY

Today was a great day. It was great not only because I got a lot of stuff at work completed, but I also learned a lot today dealing with Divorce's. I know that Divorce is not a good thing, but I am going through a very lengthy one and it has been dificult processing all of the forms, not only because the people that work at the Virginia Beach Circuit Court will not help you locate the forms, but that they want you to get an attorney so your fees will be greater. I had to have a friend of mine, who is an attorney tell them to give me a case docket from the last divorce case, which is public record. And they still didnt want to give it up because they are all about having you pay money for making them work. I was glad that my friend was there to help me out with getting the information that I wanted. I think that it was rediculus that they couldnt help me get the forms I needed, but I was glad that I triumphed over the court system today.

Also, I hate that I cannot find enough time in my busy schedule to do more school work, I mean yes I get the work that I need to done, but I hate that it is always in the nick of time. It actually amazes me that I even have time for it with my job being 24/7. I mean look at today, I just got off work about 20 minutes ago. Im so glad that work didnt go longer.

Now, as you all probably are thinking, the hell with hearing about your life...we want to know more about the Health Care Reform....well, I have been watching it, and honestly, I think that if the Health Care Reform goes through then we will be paying a lot after 10 years towards this. I really would like Health Care for everyone, but there has to be a way that it wont break our pockets, there just has to be a way. I really dont want to have this bill pushed through now and the entire US Economy goes to shit again towards the end of this Administration. What good will it do us?

ISSUES

Since the Presidents speech last night there has been only speculation and bashing on both sides of Congress with no headway towards a goal. I personally am very upset with the way our Congress is handling this situation. We should have a good health care system in place, and we do have some of the best minds in the world living in the United States. Why can we not come up with a better system? Why can we not bring on a better way of life? Our ancestors in colonial America thought up a better system, and made this country into a GREAT nation. We are slowly bringing our GREAT nation down. Our nation is the leading nation in the World and whether we like it or not, we owe it to all people in the World that want Freedom to have it. But as my Grandmother has always told me, we need to first ensure that our home is safe, then we can slowly expand. Right now, it is time for the American people to get that warm and fuzzy. We don't need health care reform. We need a better health care system. We need to cleanse our nation of illegal aliens, either by automatically approving those that are already here in our country for citizenship, so that they too can be taxed, or by deportation, which honestly, would cost the American people millions, if not trillions of dollars to do. Then, we need to safeguard our borders to prevent another 9/11 because yes, people, there are others out there that want to kill FREEDOM, they want to make FREEDOM, into nothingness. And they cannot stand that a country as GREAT as AMERICA is a nation of mixed religions and races. They will stop at nothing to bring this nation to the GROUND. Then we can inch outward, helping other nations that WANT our HELP. Because lets face it folks there are those nations out there that just don't care what happens to them. I have to admit that there are a lot of issues that this nation as whole needs to face. The government not only holds most of these issues close at hand, but they are issues that Americans know about, just most don't act on it. Some Americans don't even vote. I must say, SHAME ON ALL OF YOU THAT DO NOT VOTE. That is a freedom that not only, I fight for, but a freedom that this nation was founded upon. This nation wanted the Freedom to choose our own leaders out of the GRASP of the British and you don't even utilize it, shame on you all.

I have so much more that I could talk about regarding things that need to be addressed and completed. And maybe one day I will be a Senator where I can fight for all these things or at least bring them up into Congress. Because honestly Health Care is just the start to fixing our Nation from within. There is a huge amount of things in this nation that could be fixed following Health Care.

GOD Bless AMERICA and her people.

REPUBLICAN SIDE OF REFROM

Republicans believe that there are a number of potential areas for common ground with the Presidents reform plan for Health Care for all Americans. Republicans are promoting commonsense reforms instead of a Public Health Care Reform. They want to reduce the number of uninsured Americans, and increase quality of health care at a price our country can afford while still making sure that Americans who enjoy their health care coverage can keep it.

The House Republican Health Care Solutions Group has spent months on a plan, while listening to Americans, talking to doctors and patients, and collecting input from other sources. The process of the Republican Parties reform plan that the solutions group has come up with will receive bipartisan support.

Agreeing with the President, Republicans want to have quality health care coverage affordable and accessible for every American, regardless of pre-existing health conditions. They want to let Americans who like their health care coverage keep it, and give all Americans the freedom to choose the health plan that best meets their needs.

Not agreeing with the President the Republicans want to protect Americans from being forced into a new government-run health care plan that would: eliminate the health care coverage that more than 100 million Americans currently receive through their job, limit your choice of doctors and medical treatment options, and result in the federal government taking control of your health care.

Also in tonight's speech the President pretty much said that he is willing to work with the Republicans and anyone that will bring in a bill that will help to better the Health Care of the American people. The President in doing this has the applaud of many Republicans. His push for a reform in our Nations Health Care is a good one, and one that needs to be properly addressed and looked at. It is not an issue that can be thought of in a moments notice.

So readers, the Nation will have a reform in the way we all receive Health Care, but how is the question that we all have on our minds. Will the Democrats listen to the Republicans and vice versa, or will we be lost in a struggle of bureaucracy?

MORE ON HEALTHCARE

Hello readers, I have some new information for you. The People are starting to see the high cost and socialism behind the Health Care Bill. People are going to their Congressman and Congresswomen and telling them that if they want to see another term they will not pass this bill in its entirety.

Like I was explaining before, there are already programs out there that are fully capable of helping people NOW, and could be made better. So much better that it could help not only the people on welfare but also the lower middle class families in the United States.

On Monday I watch a round table discussion with some of the best minds in the world on this issue, and I must say, they brought up GREAT points, not only that people who are unemployed need a way of buying health care, but a point of the American public spending so much money on health care these days, around 2 trillion dollars more than people in Europe. The top medical people in the United States are claiming that Americans have let themselves go and are becoming more and more obese each year. With that, the top health care companies are claiming that for those Americans that Don't Smoke, Don't Drink, Exercise Regularly and stay in shape they give discounts too. And in all reality Health Care for everyone will go down if everyone was healthier because there would be less people in the Hospitals for being obese and things of that nature.

Another point that was brought up is that we would be spending a fraction of the cost of this new bill to fix what we have already established making it more accessible and better supportive of the lower income families in the United States.

I have to organize a few more ideas but just wanted to give you an update on what I am hearing from the people.

IM SORRY

I have to apologize to everyone because I have not been able to read up on the current events dealing with the Health Care Reform. I seriously want to let all of you know about what is going on dealing with this Heal Care Reform because there is still a lot of stuff that is in this Reform that are not good for the U.S. as a whole.

Its just that I have been extremely busy at work. I was so glad to just get off on time today. I have been so tired that I actually fell asleep in my car when I got home. I only woke up because it was getting really hot while I was sitting in the car. I was covered in sweat.

I will be getting information back to everyone within the next two days regarding the reform. I have to tell all of you that I seriously am not very impressed with the Obama Administration. I was hoping that when this innovative person took the Presidency that he would bring a good change to the U.S. but ever since he too the seat of President he has been acting like a Manchurian Candidate. Not really doing anything he promised all the people that voted for him. He has also only brought items to the table that bring Socialism to a free Country. What is up with that? That is the last thing that people want here in the U.S. but some people are praising him for it, which is remarkable. Do those people actually understand what the bills he is bringing to Congress actually mean? They should read some of these bills in its entirety instead of just the Title. Its actually ridiculous. Some of the new voters that have never voted before but only now come to vote, only cared to get out of this war. Well, people, the war is not over, and honestly, why would you want to change the front of this war, from somewhere that we can control? If we pull out of the Middle East then guess what, the front lines are here at home. No matter what you think, the truth is that the font lines will be LA, NY, Washington DC. Do you want more September 11 to occur? But maybe that is exactly what the people of the U.S. need in order to understand what we are actually fighting for. Some people are ridiculous. Good night, I'm very mad now.
