Life or Something Like It

Respecting Motorcycle Riders

2005-12-14T11:49:00.000-08:00

I own a motorcycle. It is my pride and joy. I love taking it out and riding till I almost can't ride anymore. There is only one problem with this. THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD WHO DON'T PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!! I'm fine with traffic, I'm fine with other cars and trucks, I'm fine with congestion. What I'm not fine with is the drivers out there that do not pay attention. Not just twards motorcycles, but to other cars as well. Regardless of who is in the lane next to them, they just don't look. they change lanes without a signal, and with out checking thier blind spots, and it is very dangerous for other drivers, but it is also VERY VERY VERY dangerous for motorcycle riders. Yes I know that there are some motrocyclists who don't care about other drivers out there, but there are also drivers that don't care about other drivers as well. Just because motorcycle riders have a bad name, doesn't mean that we shouldn't pay attention to them. Please stay aware when driving, and watch out for motorcyclists. We like to live and share the road too.

Spontanious....... (create your own ending)

Ever wonder why people do the things they do? I work with a guy who is a really cool guy, but he is out of control sometimes. It is hilarious at work, but i wonder if he is really like that in the "outside of work" world. For example, if you had a doughnut (creame filled ones are his favorite) sitting on your desk, he will come up to it and POUND it with his fist and make it "squish" and "splash" all over the place!! It is the funniest thign in the world to watch!! Also, he will randomly throw something and scream, and then act like nothing is wrong. He is doing all of this on purpose, but it is still incredably funny!!! He told me about a story when he went to get gas at a Maverick gas station. He handed the Cashier his credit card, and his maverick card as well. The cashier forgot to run the maverick card, so He did not get the discount. Well, they conversed about it and playfully argued as well, but then He grabbed something off the shelf at the front, and screamed "I"M STEALING THIS!!!!!" Then he ran out of the Gas station. He came back a coupld of seconds later, threw down the item that was taken, screamed "FINE!!!!" and took off again. He is like this all the time. I find it very funny to do something totally unexpected like that, just to see what people will do. I WANT to see how they react to things that are totally no familiar to them. I WANT to see how they handle spontanious situations in life. I WANT to know why they do the things they do. So, whoever reads this has to go out and do something to someone that is totally unexpected. Do something that someone wouldn't expect, something that is spontaneous, and see what they do. I gaurantee that you will find joy in this!!!!

Bush and the War in Iraq

2005-12-08T12:28:00.000-08:00

I know that everybody has Talked this "Topic" to death, so I will not try to persuade anybody to agree with me. I will not try to tell you how things are, or how they should be. I will not try to prove my point. I will however tell you how I feel about this situation, and the growing criticizm that the President of our country gets everyday from the very people whom he is trying to protect.

The war in Iraq is a good thing. President Brush is a good President. I 110% support his descicion to stay in Iraq until we have, as Bush says it, a "Complete Victory!!"

I really don't see how, or why people hate him so much!! THEY WERE THE ONES WHO VOTED HIM IN!!!!!! Bush was very clear with his plans for Iraq, and staying in there!! He was very clear that we were not going to pull any troops out no matter what, but the people of this beloved country still VOTED him President. I was one of those voters, and i still 110% support President Bush as the Leader of this country. This is what I wrote to a friend concerning this issue. This will also end this post:

The more and more I think about it, the more and more I want to prove to my country, and my fellow man that I believe in this war!! I believe in President Bush!! I believe in not only our land, America, being free, but all those who are oppressed by some war hungry capitalist who is killing for power and nothing more. I believe that we as American Citizen’s should stand up, not just against Terrorists, but any who oppose and threaten to take away our God giving right to choose who we want to be, to choose where we want to live, to choose who we want to love, to choose who we want to spend the rest of our lives with. It is our DUTY as the “military capitol of the world” to help our fellow man, regardless of race, religion, nationality, sex, any differences, to help them have better lives. If that help means that we need to give them food, then we give them food. If that means that we need to go to war to help stop innocent people getting killed because someone powerful is greedy, then we go to kick some serious ass!! No matter what it means, we need to help. Kids of 17+ are not forced into the military!! They are not dragged in kicking and screaming!! Many kids who go in want to make a difference. Let them have their chance!!! You are not there!! You don’t see the look on the Iraqi people’s faces when the USA Military strolls in and frees them from the grasp of oppression and demoralization. Let them help. Let them give their lives for a cause above and beyond anything they have ever undertaken. They are not fighting for us to take over, they are not fighting a useless war, they are not fighting a specific people they are fighting an idea!!! They are fighting the bullies of this world (for lack of a better word)!! If WE do not stand up, then who will? You think it was wrong that your baby boy died? Well who gives a shit about the thousands and thousands of Iraqi “baby boys” that have died? Your “baby boy” may have saved countless others. I’m sorry if you are not comfortable with that fact that your son gave his life for another, the single most noble a sacrifice that man can make, and your son is guilty. Your son is guilty of loving his country so much, that he was willing to give his life for another, so they could have the same privileges that he has known all his life, the same privileges that we, as American’s, take for granted so easily. I pray that one of my sons can be guilty of such a crime, to lay his life down for another. I’m sorry if I have offended anyone, but this is a very passionate subject to me. I truly believe that if a soldier honorable and true, who has laid his life down to protect another, it will be well with him in the life hear after. Along with that, I truly believe that anyone who criticizes that single most noble sacrifice will regret it with their whole souls in the life hear after. This war is a good thing. I am very disappointed with the fact that the American people will not support our own “baby boys” in this most noble cause, to free a nation from the grasps of evil men who kill for power and pleasure and reasons unknown. Shame on you American people for placing blame, for sending your own “baby boys” into battle and then spiting the very fact that they are there!! Spiting the fact that our “baby boys” are the only ones who have the courage to stand up for what they believe while we run cowardly to the comfort of our Heated/Air conditioned homes, our leather sofa’s, our luxurious cars, our TV programs. Shame on us for believing that if it is not on our soil, than it doesn’t concern us, that if it is not in “MY” backyard, it is not my problem. You stand by and watch as the world outside of our “Beautiful” nation rips itself apart, and you do nothing!! You are as bad as the people doing the ripping!!! God have mercy on your souls.
