Olympics and Politics

I am so proud of President Bush. I am dead serious. We need our leader supporting our athletes and he is over there. That is awesome. And plus he is posing with some beautiful women. GO USA!!!

Voting

Did you vote today in the Primaries? If so how do you go about the voting process? Do you vote your party all the time or do you mix it up? My philosophy is brilliant. I am sure I am not the first, but I like to think I am on my approach. During Primaries I always vote for the party I plan not voting for in the big election in November.

For example, if I was going to vote Republican in the big November election I would vote Democrat in the Primary. Why you ask? Okay, I do this because I want to vote for the person I think who would have the least chance of winning against the main Republican guy in the November election I want to win.

Sometimes this falls apart because i should have voted with my party in the Primary because they dont make it to the big November elections. However, generally the person I wanted makes it.

Sneaky I know!!!

Brad Paisley Concert

I am pumped for this concert tonite. Reading reviews of others he has done in the United States this year with with Julianne Hough, Chuck Wicks, and Jewel have been amazing concerts. This one tonite should be badass. I can not wait!!!

One problem is the girl I was going with backed out. So unless I find someone else I am going solo and will have to sell it. Oh well. I will have fun no doubt about it!

This concert is going to be awesome!!!! Even better if I can find someone to go with me.

+++++++

UPDATE

+++++++

Just got back and oh my gosh this concert was awesome. Julianne Hough, Chuck Wicks, Jewel, Brad Paisley. It was over a 3-1/2 hour concert tonite. I loved every second. Jewel is smoking hot. I forgot how much I lusted after her 10 years ago. It all came back tonite. Wow that woman is hot and she has some serious pipes on her.

Chuck Wicks seemed to appeal to the women. Looked like a pretty boy. Had a nice voice. He is mostly known for his hit "Stealing Cinderella". Julianne Hough, is just hot. I like some of her songs. but mostly though its her looks that does it for me.

Brad Paisley is phenomenal. 'Nuff said. What an entertainer he is. Gosh that was some good stuff tonite!

Sad part was I did not have any friends take me up on my offer to go with me. I went alone. The bad part for them was I was 10 feet from the stage and had probably the best view ever. Such an amazing time tonite. I just wish one of my friends would have went with, because that was a good memory to keep for awhile.

What do these teams have in common?

Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Rays, Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinatti Reds, Oakland Athletics, Washington Nationals, Seattle Mariners, and Kansas City Royals......

These teams have all been stupid enough to acquire the rights to Jose Guillen.

Look I love the fire storm he causes. It is great for the media, but its bad for the Royals Clubhouse.

I love his production. He has 69 rbi's. 14 more than any other Royal. He has 14 home runs. He is a spark that Kansas City need with his bat. On the other hand, his fielding is questionable and he does not run nearly hard enough to the ball.

I was a huge proponent when the Royals signed this guy. Why was I so excited to see this knowing that it would end in disaster like it has now? I will tell you it is because the Royals Ownership and Management took a major risk piling money on someone. Risk brings the potential for far greater Return, but sometimes the opposite happens. Like what happened now.

People make big money on the stock market because they take big risk. Guillen was a big risk for the Royals. It did not pay off, but it shows the many other talented baseball players out there Kansas City will pay extra for your services.

What will be the 10th team for Guillen if he does indeed get traded?

What have I gotten into?

The folks at 24 Hour Fitness convinced me to train and run in a 10K race. WTF!?!?!

They said they will run with me which is good. I hate running. I will work harder at it. I run 1.5 miles a day on the treadmill. Guess I need to step it up a bit.

Crap. What have I commited too?!?!?!

Chinese Food

So for lunch today I was rushed and wanted to get something as quick as possible. I went to the closest place I could find. It was a Chinese Restaurant in Kansas City. I had never been in there. The place looked okay, the people looked shady. I was starving so I ordered some food. Took about five minutes for the food to get to my table. Right about as I am mid-way through my plate of food a Kansas City Health Inspector comes rushing in to do a "routine check up". Okay lets back up a second. I have never been here before, I am eating this food, and then a Kansas City Health Inspector rushes in to do a check up. As he is going to the kitchen area I ask nicely, "couldn't you have showed up about 10 minutes ago?" He laughs. I wasn't laughing. I immediately lost interest in my plate off shrimp fried rice, threw the rest away and now probably will never go back there again. I should have stayed to see how they fared with the Health Inspector but I wanted to run and buy alot of water really quick to try to flush out my system just in case.

I guess I will never know the results, but I do know I will not go back even though I was enjoying my shrimp fried rice. Why couldn't the Health Inspector just show up before or after I was there. Not while I am consuming food from a place I had never stepped foot in before today!!!

Political Talk...

I am not one really for politics. However I am stoked that John McCain is going to go with Mitt Romney as his running mate. For the sake of the Presidential Election, I think Barrack Obama needs to pick Jim Webb. Webb has the military experience to compete with McCain. If Obama does pick Webb I might truly get excited.

However, I would much rather see McCain and Obama as the VP hopefuls and Webb and Romney as the Presidential candidates.

Oh well. Politics isn't my cup of tea, but its going to take alot of changes to fix the downward spiral our country is currently in.

In no chance in hell would I have guessed that I would still be unemployed with a Masters degree. Its horrible. I have options though; federal law enforcement, 2nd masters degree this one in theology, teacher, paramedic. The possibilities are endless. Regardless, with a MBA I should have a job by now. I blame all of the political heads. This all started long long ago and now its climaxed to what it is. OUR COUNTRY IS FALLING APART AND OUR LEADERS ARE FAILING US!

So many issues need to be fixed. Who knows where to start, but solutions in corporate america start by firing and layoffs rightly or wrongly. That should be an idea with our political leaders. We vote them in, we are shareholders we should have enough pull to yank their seat out from right under them.

I DO NOT HAVE AN OPINION ON MY PRESIDENTIAL FAVORITE, BUT WHO EVER IT IS BETTER START TRYING TO FIX THIS COUNTRY.
