A New Job Coming My Way???
At first I was skeptical so I decided to do some snooping around and sure enough it was all legit so I applied. The application was pretty straight forward and asked the normal things so it wasn't to hard to fill out. It didn't have any of the odd questions like this "Have you ever had sugar, or black tar heroin?" Oh well back to the topic at hand. I after submitting my application I was informed via electronic mail that I would be receiving a phone call by Monday so we'll see. Here's hoping!

PARTY!!!!
Well that's right, today April 8, 2008 is a very big birthday day for my family. My grandfather, aunt, and youngest sister all celebrate a birthday today which means I get cake today (for my sisters birthday) and then again on Saturday April 12, 2008 when we get together with the rest of the family to have the "big" celebration. From what I know I have two aunts coming in from out of town, as well as an uncle and four cousins.
It will be nice, this is the first time since my great-grandmother died that we will see the rest of the family and who knows, crazy stuff always happens when we are all together. Well to Grandpa, Cathy, and Katie... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Yeah, breaker one nine...
Well yesterday on April 3rd, 2008 anywhere from 20 to 50 truck drivers held a protest in El Paso, TX, Hey that'smy home town, anyway back to the point a lot of truckers decided that they would drive very, very, very slow across El Paso going from right outside the city limits at around Eastlake Blvd. heading west along I-10 to Executive where they turned around and headed east to go and protest in front of Western Refining, which is something like the third or fourth largest independent oil refinery in the US. What were they protesting???? Well the high price of diesel fuel of course, and believe me I feel their pain. Now I am not saying that I pay close to $1,500.00/ gallon of fuel, it only cost me about $45 but still that is hard for me. I can only imagine what they are going through. I used to work as a shipping coordinator and know personally about the the bidding process and have the experience trying to get the lowest possible price and I know that a lot of them base it all on fuel cost. Now if their cost keep rising eventually companies will not be able to hire them in order to ship their products. The drivers cost goes up when fuel cost go up and so on. Well I say good for them even thought they really won't have an effect on the sky rocketing fuel prices but it does bring light to their issue and maybe people will in the Oil Industry will start getting the point.

Where has my country gone?
I was born during the Reagan Administration in the great year of 1984. I guess you could say I had a good life so far. I mean I can't really complain. Like most people I have seen good times and bad times, gotten in a little bit of trouble, had my share of heartbreak, and even been involved in some pretty cool things. And until now, until this very day, I had no regrets.
You see I was watching the news and they were doing a story on the Democratic Presidential Primaries and how pivotal each state is now, and I couldn't help but ask my self, "What happened to the Democrats?" I should first tell you I have never been a Democrat and well I tend to lean a little right on some issues but am more moderate then anything else. I have no political affiliation, the only thing I ask of my fellow Americans is to use your mind. Oh well back to the point, This week the attacks between Obama and Clinton seem to have gotten worse and Spitzer getting caught trying to "frisk" her I had to ask myself what has happened to the Democratic Party of the past? While I sat at my desk pondering this conundrum I was only brought to a much more pressing question, where has my country gone?
I mean in the 23 years and counting I have been alive it has really changed and I am really distressed by what I am seeing. I listen to stories on the news about Universal Health Care and immigration and I realized we are letting our country be hijacked by a group of people that want to subvert our Constitution and replace it with a Socialist Canon. I can't help but wonder why no one is stepping up, and I mean really stepping up, and saying something about this. I mean sure there are people on the radio and TV that whine about our freedoms being taken away and what not, but where are the large demonstrations and rallies against the 'Socialization' of our country. I mean we had massive rallies over immigration.... We are slowly letting fringe elements take over our country and I just don't know how much longer America can take it.
We have strayed from what we are supposed to be, what we were founded on. Our country is lost and I for one am going to find it.
