No more crappy Presidents!

I hope it is between Obama and McCain. That's it...Can't stand Hillary...Didn't trust Romney...and honestly, Huckabee only has the Christian thing going and a few catchy phrases...I want a President I can look to that I know can actually do the job of a President. I wouldn't hire a high school drop out with limited work experience to run my company but who talks a good game. Why would I choose someone to run my country who doesn't have what it takes to lead a nation just because he used to be a minister? What about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? They used to be ministers? How bout them?

I want a good President. No, I want a great President!

I hope this fires up someone.

Uncomfortable Realizations

So, I have come to a very hard realization. I may have learned the hard way what it is like to not be the Man God created me to be. You see, there are times where not doing anything wrong may be the worst thing you can do.
I'm gonna let you ponder that for a second.
Ok, here's what I mean. For you Bible thumpers think about Revelation 3:16.
This past weekend I didn't necessarily do anything completely wrong. I found out after the fact that there were some boundaries that I crossed with someone that I like very much. I did not know these were her boundaries. Yet, we crossed them. You see, I did the worst thing I could have done.
Many of you, especially the men, will be thinking and saying, "You weren't wrong if you crossed boundaries that you weren't informed of. Unless it is against the Bible." It wasn't against the Bible's teachings. (The reason I say men is because men, in general, are more likely to look at the black and white and not see grey in between.)
So where was I wrong, you ask? I was wrong because I failed her because I was not a Man of God this weekend. Nor have I been in my relationships past. She asked me a question this weekend that took 3 days to hit me. She asked what my boundaries were. I told her the truth. I don't have them. Except for no sex. Other than that I have never set solid boundaries in my relationships with women.
That is why not doing anything wrong may be the worst thing you can do. I was indifferent and did not set boundaries in my life to protect the women that God allows to enter it. My lack of boundaries not only did not protect her, it also did not honor her as a daughter of God.
How can I look in the mirror and also tell her that I want her to feel like a queen, when I can't even show her the honor she deserves?
This has been very hard for me to take. Especially considering the fact that I am the jerk that hasn't been man enough to follow God properly, and that I probably blew a relationship with an amazing woman.
If you are the woman I am talking about...I am sorry...

Reality is setting in...

So, last night reality started setting in...Holy CRAP!!!! I'm going to IRAQ?!? I can't wait to get over there and meet some people and start working and hitting the gym. Right now its just all an unknown entity about what to expect. That sucks...anxiety...a little...stress...a little...
I am going through all the stuff that I packed and realized I packed too much...kinda like a woman going on a weekend getaway with two checked bags and a carryon! (Sorry ladies...had to rock the boat...don't worry, you'll forget I said that by the time I come back!)
To combat this lack of judgement on my part I am going to have to mail two packages...one to Iraq and one home to my brother (sorry Mike).
Speaking of Mike, I am going to miss him...we were having so much fun hanging out, cooking up killer meals with his fiance, drinking great wine with friends. Man I love my bro! I am looking forward to going out to eat with him when I come back! He get's to pick any restaurant in LA and we are gonna eat like rock stars!
Anyways, I just felt like talking today...

Question for you - What is your opinion of what the best restaurant in LA?

Presidential Political Ramblings

So the next President of our United States is now narrowed down to 3 people. You couldn't find a different group of people if you tried. We have a woman, an African American, and former POW veteran, who, happens to not be an ultra conservative Republican?!? It looks like a Democrat will be nominated as President, if you look at popularity and history (an unpopular Republican incumbant means a Democrat next time). However, I don't think that Hillary will be able to pull it off if she is nominated. If you think about the two most important issues this election, those being the economy and the war in Iraq, she doesn't have the ability to win against McCain. She isn't very strong economically, I mean, come on...she thinks homeowners need to be given a document that states in detail the terms of their loans so they know what they are getting into...uhhh....that is called the "Loan Docs"! That is the law already...Hillary, please...did you create the internet too... I know McCain is not known for being an economic genius, however, he doesn't stick his foot in his mouth like that! Now to the war...do I need to say who is better prepared to handle this? I'm not even gonna humor you on this one!
Now if Obama gets nominated...we have a new Democratic President. He is someone who, I believe will be a great President. I think McCain would be a very good, possibly great President as well. But I don't think McCain can pull it off against Obama. We have yet to see Obama's best stuff...I just have that feeling.

Would love to hear comments regarding this! Let me know what you think!

It's cold in Colorado!

So, I have now started my new job and it is awesome! I am working in Colorado right now and have a trip next week to 29 Palms California...I thought I was leaving Cali? Anyways...I am pretty excited and love the work and the people. The company really takes care of us and that is awesome. I can totally see why my cousin has worked here so long!
I am looking forward to get overseas and start really working though! It should be fun and I will get to work with my cousin which will be cool!
