GOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!
(I love my energy drinks..)


Weekend was...dull....hung out at the house, saving money....not very exciting...but gotta cut back where I can.
Got some stuff doen around the house on my day off.

Ok....current game plan of attack is this:
I'm not going to pursue getting hired again right away for IT...with my paychecks and closing I have coming...plus going onto unemployment for a while...I'm going forward w/ real estate. I figure, I've got enough to last until begining of next year...so need to get a closing before then and then keep them coming!
I've got an hour long training call to make here in about 1/2 hour...so will get that ball rolling!

Wow...come Monday morning....its gonna be weird...not having to get up at 0500 to go to work...will keep on a schedule though....

Im going to meet with that guy who does foreclosure/bank repo homes here soon to see if he will help me get intothat field as well.
This is a do or die situation.

(I had a LONG talk w/ my life long friend this weekend)
He knows me pretty good...kinda scary that a friend knows you better than you know yourself sometimes? I dont think IT is my path. I LIKE computers...I don't LOVE them...whch you kinda have to do to make it successfully in that field.

If things don't pick up....I'll stay on unemployement....find an under the table payinng night job and go bacck to school...maybe something that embraces my security past: FBI, Homeland Security, etc. (let my AF cop, Top Secret clearance and all the security experience I have work for me...)
I've already got an Associate's....just go back and get a bachellor's.
But, I am betting the Real Estate is going to work...good bet.

Hope y'all are doing great!
mike

oh...I had an 'epihphany' yesterday while vacuuming the house.
There I was....
thinking about the lil' sumbitch who cut me.
Because of him...he's gonna cost the state....thousands upon thousands of dollars: his jail time...AND! Most likely...the little twit he got knocked up after he cut me...you KNOW we're gonna be footing the bill for her via welfare.
Plus....he's mostl likely gonna come out a better criminal....

My thought....give him the option of the US Army...or prison.
6 years mandatory enlistment: Infantry.
on the positive:
he will serve his country and gain honor and respect for himself and others around him
He will NOT be a burden to society.
He will be working...and can provide for his new family.

maybe become a man and turn his life around.
Maybe I 've watched too many episodes of both Walker, Texas Ranger and Dog the Bounty Hunter...turn the other cheek, turn thm around and set them straight.

Sounds like a good plan of attack, B.

I like your Army idea as well. Might deter a few criminals if they knew what was coming. Kind of like Joe Arpaio's system out west!

on the surface it seems like a good idea you got there B, but I don't know how feasible that would be. I think it could only work for "certain" criminals. Obviously you don't want murderers and rapists enlisted in the US Army fighting for us, I don't think they would be entirely motivated for that. And if you only can do it for a certain sample of criminals, the less dangerous, if you will, then I will guarantee the other more severe criminals will throw a bitch fit and hire lawyers from jail to sue our country and there will be protests and what have you , and it will be a colossal failure.

Now, if there was another world war and we needed people to rush the beaches of a place or whatever, then yea, put them all in the front of the boat, open the doors, let them all get picked off and let the real soldiers actually make an advance without getting gunned down like fish in a barrel. That could work

hey stew! That was what I was kinda thinking....if he happened to die for his country....that will work...and his spawn and mother of spawn would be given the 100k life insurance...win-win situation...
