Sorry to hear about your work issue, Burns. What a great world we live in, huh?
Hey, more time for the gym, short term.

hey...I'm part Scottish too!
of course...I think most Americans...are part Sottish...horny ancestors....I think they weer onto something with those kilts...
Guys were kilts...women wore skirts...a good stiff breeze blew...both parties interested instantly...and in the mood...both has easy access...and voila!
I'm keeping positive thoughts going.
Been working on my resume. Almost finished w/ it...I almost sound worthy of being hired now....
I've been kicking around WHERE I want to go. Denver and Phoenix are still top 2 picks...but Ithought LA/Miami...even Hawaii would be good.
I dunno....
I'm feeling better, so today IS a lift day! We are a 'go'..I repeat: WE HAVE A GO FOR THE GYM! LOCK-N-LOAD!

Sounds like you have a few decisions to make... Hawaii would be nice... for a while.
I personally would get claustrophobic there after awhile.

Hey Py!
This IS a great country we live in...at least....this is the greatest country on the planet. We have people from all over the globe that have come here and made this country what it is.
This is the place where, if you want it bad enough.....you can change your destiny and make your fortune.
As Tony Blair once said about America: This is the country that everybody is trying to get in, yet, nobody is trying to leave.
oh...this is my quasi political post....
I've been doing some observations, reading....thoughts....
This whole Democrat / Republican party is disgusting.
I'm sided more on the conservative side.
Call me a 'Traditionalist'.
Im the kind of man who wants to wake up in the morning and have the opportunity to go earn my paycheck.
When I do receive my paycheck, I only want to pay enough in taxes to have a government that provides for a good, solid infrastructure, public road and safety system common defense.
What I DON'T want...is some liberal on a mission to give my hard earned money away to those who choose NOT to work.
Now, don't get me wrong...there are those that are unfortunate and in need of help. Fine. Help them get back on their feet so they too, can get back to being productive members of society.
I'm talking about those among us that do not work. Do not want to work, yet want to receive a government check...for nothing.
THOSE people...need a serious wake-up call. 6 months ought to do. People on government assistance....in order to continue to receive their monthly checks....must work at least 30 hours a week. There’s a phrase that I’ve got ingrained: There is No free lunch.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY A WOMAN ON WELFARE....IF/WHEN SHE HAS MORE...OFFSPRING....GETS A RAISE??????
...show me one woman w/ a real job...that gets a raise for every child she bears...just one.
Men/women on 'assistance'....will VOLOUNTEER to be on birth control. IF A PERSON CANNOT CARE FOR THEMSELVES....THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE MORE MOUTHS TO FEED ON GOV'T DEPENDANCE....
I believe in a fair taxation system. You shouldn't be penalized if you are successful. A fair system, close the loopholes.
I’m tired of hearing how liberals think that ‘big brother’ should do most of our thinking for us. A parent should NEVER have to worry about being SUED by their child…
A parent should be able to correct their child…abuse..no.
People need to take personal responsibility for their actions. Parents need to teach that to their children.
Life is not fair. It is filled w/ disappointment. But, the more you push forward and look for opportunities, you will survive and even prosper.
As Ron White says: if life gives you lemons…make lemonade. If u see someone w/ some gin, have a party.
Ok…so I can still have a sense of humor.
I hear about prisons being over-populated…there’s a easy, cheap and quick soloution for this: They are called TENTS. I don’t need millions of our tax money spent on prisoners…spend it on quality education, and positive things for this country. Here’s a nutty idea for convicts. If you don’t want to wear pink jump suits and live in a tent…don’t put yourself into a position to be there…its really not that hard to NOT go to jail….
Well, that’s about long enough of a rant….I’m sure there will be more to follow.

Nothing wrong with that rant....except.....
Like many on the right, the term "liberal" gets used to mean everyone on the left, while attributing viewpoints and ideal that are really reserved for those on the far left. I wouldn't assume that everyone who voted for Bush thinks everything he's done has been spot on (and the polls support that). The same way, I'm sure you don't think that everyone who voted against Bush believes in free rides for all.
I'm a liberal, and am against unlimited welfare, free rides, and affirmative action. But there are a whole lot of issues out there where I do fall on the left. That's ok with me.
When it comes to political parties, though, I always think of Bill Hicks, who compared it to a puppet show. Some people think the puppet on the left is the best choice to represent them. Some think the one on the right best shares their views on the world. But sooner or later, we should all realize that the same guy has his hand up both their asses.

SO....DB and I are gonna have to go girl huntin' together....
I should be in a GREAT mood...I've got a NICE closing ni about 45 minutes. Good size too...WAS going to pay off ALL kinds of debts...and free up several hundred a month in outgo....but...noooo.....get to live off it now till something else comes up.
But, as I mentioned...this could be a good thing...
I just gave my final briefing to our Colonel...he signed my package for accreditation...so on that note.....nothin' but net, baby!
I"ve got one more package on my desk to work...I'll work it till the last day...just not at the speed I would have been if I were still here....(I should have had it knocked out this week...)
What else...oh...since I've got nothing to start on the 15th...I'mm starting back to my classes that morning for my Windows MCSE 2003 certificates and Security +...so can get that taken care of and pad my resume...Plus...if something comes up in another location, I won't have to wait till spring to go...(I was slated to go to school Jan-Mar, '08)
I am going to take some of my closing cash and start my marketing program...if/when I can get a client or two....then $$ will be easier..then do a little more...then do a little more...then next thing you know...I'll be good to go. Positive thinking, baby!
