Independence Day

I just wanted to write a little bit in here and talk to everyone about what the United States of America really means to me. This country that we all live in means a lot to me, and it should matter to everyone else to. I couldn't imagine being alive roughly 235 years ago fighting for the right to be free. I am so happy a group of people chose to do that for everyone in the future. Over that time we have been through a a lot as a country. But I still believe we all live in the greatest country in the free world.

Even with the economy being not what it should be, Republicans and Democrats fighting over issues more than ever I hope every can agree to what I am saying here. I do not want to live in a place of than America, heck I complain about it all the time but I have that right to, because I am a register voter and my opinion counts for something. That is what the founders of this country wanted. Watching the fireworks I came to a conclusion that every-time I watch them I instantly think of all the people who gave up their lives for innocent people. Those fireworks are for them, a tribute. Every armed forces people I see from now on I want to thank them for there service. I know it has to be hard to be away from their family but someone has to protect the country right. Thats all I wanted to say on the subject I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th.

God Bless America

The Death of Bin Laden Has Come To This?

Somethings in this world really jerks my chain for example how the death of Osama Bin Laden creates political drama. I mean do not get me wrong I love that Bin Laden has finally been defeated, but enough is enough already. Every time I open up my Facebook is another post about him, he honestly is not worth it. Or if I turn on the news here is another story about him, who cares really. Yes I agree some people should have been mentioned about helping to find him but that is besides the point. I do think we should be more focused on how we are going to grow the economy back up again. How we are going to change the nation so it can be respectful again in the World. How we are going to create jobs, lower gas prices etc. Like President Obama said we should focus on more important matters, not getting distracted about little things that do not matter. It just seems to me everything is so dysfunctional now than it ever has in history. Recently I have tried to put myself into politicians minds, for example if I was in that position what would I decide. I found out it really doesn't matter what you decide , your always going to get some backlash from it and that is a shame.

I am not going to lie I am totally afraid how I am going to provide for my family when I graduate from college. We shouldn't blame other people for what has happened in this nation or even the world. We honestly should all come together in times of hardship, wouldn't it make things easier? But I guess that is what makes this country so great, we do not have to agree with everything, we can agree to disagree. In the Bible it talks about Do not worry so much about this world, but tend your focus on the world that is unseen, or something to that effect. I believe the world would be a better place if anyone trusted that passage. When you focus on the unseen you find myself not worrying so much because you know God will handle it in the end. Here is a bible verse that fits perfect with this situation. It is Matthew 6:31-33 in the NLT version.

Thats all for now until next time.

Podcasting?

I was thinking a lot lately, well actually just a couple of minutes ago. Since I have gotten into the scene of listening to podcasts I thought to myself hey should I try to make one and send it out to the public. ? It does not seem that hard, the only problem I would have is editing it so it flows just right. But also trying not to stutter at least once, when I get nervous I tend to stutter a lot until I actually get to know people extremely well.

Which reminds me of a good but boring movie I saw over this weekend, The Kings Speech. It makes me feel that I am not alone with this problem I am not saying that I have a stuttering problem at all. Normally I do not, just when I have to speak in front of a large amount of people or when I get nervous. But probably a lot of people could relate. But we will see how the podcasting goes or doesn't go, I think if I just slow down I should be fine. But do not worry my blog will still be here and I will write in it when I have time. Which you can see the number of blog posts I can't find the time to write what is on my mind. Maybe that will change when school ends for the summer who knows. Well it is time for me to head out, its late and I get grumpy without sleep.

God Bless

Ranting and Raving

I need to let this out, you know even though if it may come back and haunt me but I really do not care. I just wanted to write on here about a particular teacher that I have in one of my classes. Even if it has to do with one of my favorite things technology. What bothers me I totally do not like the professor that teaches it. For a lots of reasons mainly he really does not teach us much. He basically expects us to know, and if we don't know look it up on the Internet. Really
? Hence he has more than this job but really you get paid for telling us go look it up. To me that isn't an educator I can do that at home. I believe I am pretty knowledgeable about the basic concepts of computers but I do not know how to do programming so don't assume that everyone knows how. I know it is just not me who is frustrated if he would slow down in class people would not ask a whole bunch of questions out of class. Which they do not ask in class because he makes you feel degraded and dumb like how can you not know that.

I don't know really he just comes of arrogant, which I do not like anyone really. Also I hate knowing everytime I am going to go into class it feels like we are going to get some sort of lecture of some sort. Excuse me we are in are 20's and above don't teach us like we are five. I guess everyone has some sort of this professor in their life. Thank God I only have to deal with him once every two weeks or I would lose my mind. Not to mention he grades extremely hard, 2 points of something out of a ten point project for something so strong its ridicolous.

Oh well I just wanted to rant and rave for a little bit about this subject. I am out.. for now

Cable Companies

I am totally sick of not having correct internet connection at my house anymore. I do not know what happened but ever since the big snow storm knocked out the power. The internet has not been working. After three visits from the cable company, it still is not fixed right. While I sit here and write this blog in my room I have terrible internet connection. But I used to have awesome connection up here, I wonder what happened and why haven't the cable company fixed it right yet. I mean its there job really to make things work right I totally do not see how it can be that hard. instead they send people who have no idea what they are doing really in the long run. Sigh I guess maybe someday I pray that it will fully get fixed. Heres to hoping

Night Lights

The last couple of nights for some unknown reason I wake up in the middle of the night breathing heavy, waking myself from yelling in my sleep. I have had a couple of bad dreams recently and I really do not know why this is the case. Usually I do not remember the dreams I have but it has been different. But along with tha, t it always have to do with losing a family member or a love one. I wonder what the people who study dreams would say about this. Probably something like you are afraid of letting things go, or whatever. I do not study dreams for a living so I really do not know.

Also feel free to vote on my page, on a poll that I put up recently. Just something new, eventually I am going to change my blog around to the way that I like it but I honestly do not have enough time between school and my girlfriend. Thats all I wanted to say for now short but sweet, seems like they are the best ones. Until next time..

NCIS

This is going to be one of the shortest blogs in history really because I am to lazy to write. when you have a blog you are suppose to write, but I really do not feel like writing very much. Really the only thing I wanted to say was how much it frustrates me how my favorite TV Show never gets enough attention in awards wise. The TV show is NCIS by far the best show on television like my girlfriend says maybe I am just biased but who knows. I mean 20 million Americans agree with me every single week. But yet they always get snubbed, everything from the actors to the writers, directors are amazing. The show is in there eighth season and it just keeps getting better every single season that is really hard to do. There is no end for sight for the show and I am really really glad for that. I have watched every single episode so it has been in my life for many many hours. It is getting pretty bad that I have a pretty good idea who the killers are going to be. I guess everyone has something that they are really into. Like me it just seems that I really get into tv shows and want to watch every episode if I like the show just not NCIS.

Winter Break = Florida

Even though it has been a long time since I last blogged a lot has happened in my life. I guess I just have been really really lately, or have no reason to blog all that much. Its hard trying to sit down for a couple of minutes and try to write something that does not sound so stupid to me.

*sigh* Today I just started back to school again for the spring semester, which total will be my sixth semester. If you think about it, it is a lot of semesters to yet be in my major program. I guess slow and steady wins the race? Its not that I am putting college off I just didn't know what I wanted to do with my life until recently. The way I look at it I have the rest of my life to work, etc. I should probably enjoy it while I still can. Even if that means I will probably be the last one of my high school class to graduate oh well, what can you do. It really just seemed that winter break went way way to fast for me at least. I mean I can not complain of sitting at home and doing nothing all day.

Well I had a couple of highlights from this winter that I could gladly try to talk to everyone about. Well really once the fall semester was done and over with, my family including mom, dad, my brother, his girlfriend, myself and my girlfriend all went down to florida to visit my cousin and his wife. It was a wonderful time to get rid of the crummy winter that Ohio has, I love warm weather, if it was my choice I would move there but that really isn't going to become reality just a dream that I have. The weather down there was for the most part pretty okay, there was only one day that it was not so pleasant meaning high of 53, and cloudy. All the other days I was pretty content with the weather. So much better then here I always say. The highlight of the trip was going to Universal Studios in Orlando and visiting the Harry Potter Theme Park. It was everything I had expect and even more, if you are a Harry Potter fan it is simply awesome for so many ways. To the ButterBeer to the rides, just everything.

Only one thing I would change about it, is I wish it was just a bigger I did not think they were expecting it to be that popular, when you pack thousands inside the little section of Universal it is going to get crowded very quickly. By being there what also put me off is when it is on a busy day, you even have to get a ticket to get into the Harry Potter section, kind of like a fast pass but you have to wait for 3 or 4 hours.

Just the whole Florida trip was amazing I could not ask for a better week, I want to do it again very very soon. Now I am back home weeks later in cold, and snowy dreaming that Spring Semester was about over when it just started.
