Happy Birthday, Sweetheart.

There are times when a simple post is best. I'd like to wish a wonderful birthday to the person whom I love with every ounce of my soul. Thank you for being my soulmate, and my best friend ever. I love you, Carin.

Wow, What an inspiration!

I've heard this speech numerous times over the years, and I have yet to not be inspired by Jim Valvano's speech. I can almost promise you, you can't watch this, and not be moved to tears. Things like this can certainly keep life in perspective. The daily grind may be stressful, but listening to this can put it all in perspective. The irritations in my daily life are small, and I need to learn to appreciate the bigger things in life.

How Hard Can It Be

Along with a lot of others, I've been trying to follow this presidential election. All the various candidates have their platforms, which supposedly they will follow if elected. The two parties haven't even decided on their candidates yet, and already I'm about sick of politics. I have yet to find a candidate who I'd feel comfortable voting for, either Democrat or Republican. How hard can it be to find a candidate who is fiscally conservative and won't spend my tax money of a bunch of junk, who is pro-life and believes that abortion is murder, who believes that war is a bad idea, peace is a much better idea,. How hard can be it to have a candidate who believes that people should only come into our country legally, and protect the borders so that bad guys can't just walk into the country, and who believes in taking care of the poor and needy, but not enabling those who chose to take advantage of the system, who believes that getting the country out of debt is a critical matter of national importance, and won't raise taxes in order to increase spending. Until that candidate comes along, I'll probably tune out, and enjoy watching sports, and playing golf instead.

This Is Harder Than It Looks

Don't let this fancy facade fool you. Blogging is hard. By letting my blog go untouched for the last couple of months, I've fooled everyone into thinking that blogging is simple, all you have to do is ignore your blog. However, it is much more difficult than it looks. I'm beginning to learn that creative writing is much harder than it looks. If do manage to crank out a new post every couple of days, you can't be blamed for thinking that it's difficult. It's really not, all you have to do is ignore the blog, and everyone will marvel at your genius.
