Don't Judge les thee wants to be judged theeselve
This is my last post. I didn't start this thing so that I could be judged by those with clouded visions. I was merely trying to vent. But, I think it would be safer for me to share these thing with people closer to me, such as my wife. PEACE

Faith
I know that I tend to beat a dead horse, or whatever you want to call it, but I am still looking at the issue of "Faith" pretty heavily. I was thinking about this morning while I was shaving and I had an epiphany! I have always prided myself in memorization skills from school and having a really good understanding of what I learned in school and GUESS WHAT? I didn't learn about GOD in school. As a matter of fact, It is forbidden by the legal stature of our country. Now, I know that this is nothing new. But, why in the hell haven't I heard anything lately about the sepreration of Church and State. (Notice: Church comes before State) I mean..........aren't we in election times? Is this not important? Do we as a country still not acknowledge the importance of Faith? Or is anybody that sure about what Faith actually is. Just askin. PEACE

"Stupid Is" is "Stupid Does"
We owe it to our kids and our grandkids to NOT let this happen!!!
Have Americans Lost Their Minds!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality
that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause a moment, reflect back.
These events are actual events from history.
They really happened!!!
Do you remember?
1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by
Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40.
2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40..
3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
8. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by
Muslim male extremists between the of 17 and 40.
12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed it--
Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly
fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners
will no longer be allowed to profile certain people...
Absolutely No Profiling!
They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and
Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss,
but leave
Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40
alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
According to The Book of Revelation:
The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power,
he will destroy everything.
And Now:
For the award winning
Act of Stupidity
Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet --
The Presidency of the United states of America
A Muslim (by birth)
Male
Extremist
Between
the ages
of 17 and 40.
Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???
I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the
'unknown' candidate.
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.

Happiness or Halucinagenics
I just got back from Fast Eddies, a local sports bar with very nice billiard tables. It is one of my favorite places to go. I like to say it is because of the fact that I like to play pool, but in fact, it may be much more than that. It may be because I am looking for happiness in all the wrong places. You see, I am making more money than I have ever made in my life, or ever thought I could. I totally expected money to "complete me" As it seems, it has left me very "incomplete" and yearning for more. I am starting to believe that it has done me more harm than good. All of the sudden,,,,,,,,,, I feel as if my wife should respect me more. Everyone should respect me more. WHY? WHY? Because I pick up the tab? Because I drive a nice car? Because I have nice shit? HELL TO THE FUCK NO! I have become my worst enomy. I want RESPECT, I want it for the right reasons......I just don't know what those reasons are any more.

Respect
Respect has always been very important to me in life. It is something that I definately expect from people and I try to give to people as well. But, do all people deserve respect? Do I deserve respect? It is a question that I have been asking myself quite a bit lately. I guess it is because I have been disrespected so much. In my line of business it is imperitive for me to be well-liked and build relationships with customers and potential customers. Some people might consider this as being a kiss-ass. I feel the same way about it sometimes. I find myself saying and doing things for people that I wouldn't do normally. I try to make my customers happy and make them feel important. Some of these people (most of these people) are not the type of people that I would generally hangout with and in some cases would not care for at all. But, if I want there business, I go the extra mile to treat them special. This normally leads to the customer treating me very disrespectful. Demanding things from me and treating me like a little bitch. I need to find a way to keep these relationships strong without turning into a fucking doormat. Herein the problem lies. How do I keep them happy without being disrespected. We offer a great service with great people, but so do alot of other companies in this area. There has to be something about us that stands above all others. I think that besides offering great service, the only way to accomplish this is through customer service. I am just trying to figure out how to do this well without being disprespected by these ego-inflated, self absorbed, ignorant fucks. Peace

Confession or Regression
As you all know, My blog page has seemed a little on the whiney, pissy, poor me, life sucks trail. Well, I apoligize for that, it just seems that the only time I get to post is when I am buzzing a little bit from some cold brews before I go to bed. This time I want to talk about confession. I have been struggling with some problems at work......backstabbing, lying, destructive type shit. Well, my dad has given me some advice about this. He told me today that maybe I just needed to confess to someone. Confess my sins and all of the things that I am ashamed of. He didn't tell exactly how to do this. He just said I could do it with a priest, or through AA or personally through GOD. It truly made a lot of sense to me. Because if I cant be pure and honest about my feelings, then how can I expect anyone else to be. Because, ultimately Its all about me. How I feel, how i take things, how i let it impact me and how I respond to it. And if I carry any guilt at all, it will cloud my mind and affect this whole process. I think. I hope. So, what I plan to do is confess my sins to my priest and to my father and put it in GODS hands. Hopefully he will see that I truly don't want to hurt anyone, and I only want to better myself. Wish me luck, and I may need to schedule a meeting with Father B. SO, homeslice, who I won't name on the internet. Help a brother out. Please. It may take a full afternoon, so make it happen

Parenting Counsel
My son graduated from Odessa Permian High School this weekend. It is something that has made me and my wife very proud. But we quickly got a rude awakaning. You see, we had planned on Chase staying home and going to college here. We agreed to continue to pay for his Tahoe and insurance and cellphone and pay for his tuition as well. It seemed like the logical choice because he has a baby now and can't leave town to go to a different school. He would be guaranteed a job working for the family business making a very nice living. It all sounds so great doesn't it. Well, what we didn't count on was his freedom to make those choices for himself. And he chose NO. He told us the day he graduated that he was moving out and wanted to go out and make it on his own. He brought me the keys to the Tahoe and handed me his phone and left. Gone. We are completely crushed. We thought we had it all figured out for him. But we didn't think about how powerful the idea of having freedom would be. He has been under our roof, as well as our rules, for 18 years now. The first oppurtunity he got he got the hell out of dodge and moved in with a cousin with no job and absolutely no plan. Typical teenage shit I suppose. I just never imagined it. He has always been a very respectful young man. Now, I am really starting to doubt my parenting skills. I think I may have been to strict and too controlling. I just didn't want him to wind up like most of my friends did and most of his friends will. On drugs, in prison, or even dead. I am terrified of what might happen to my son. I hope he grows out of this quickly. I hope he gets his head out of his ass soon. And as for me, I will take any advice I can get. I obviously have a lot to learn about parenting. Peace.
