Make it 5!!

Well, this past Saturday was my mothers birthday!! We miss you Mom!! Well on that day, my Dad gave, yes gave, me his truck. When he first offered it, I immediately thought of my son John who finally has his learners permit, and I just know he'll love to have a truck to drive. Well it does make five vehicles that I now have to register, insure and maintain. I'll have to get rid of at least one fairly soon, so if you happen to know anyone who'd be interested in a 1991 Ford Escort GT, with about 230,000 miles on the engine, let me know...hahahaha!! Thanks Dad, you made a really nice gift for your namesake's grandson.

Let's get the party started
Mood:  party time!

Welcome to my blog!! I'm hoping this will be a great place for everyone to meet and make their opinions known. Feel free to make any comments you feel I need to hear, and I promise not to edit them. I believe in letting someone have enough rope to prove that they are either a genius or an idiot!! I'm probably closer to the latter then the former, but I'm willing to admit it when I'm wrong, are you? So feel free to grab a cup of coffee or whatever beverage you may prefer, read what I'm spouting off and lets hear what you have to say! In other words, Let's get the party started!!

This website is a work in progress, and was originally my fifth homework assignment in my Computer Survey course. In the class, our instructor, Joe Pistone, gave us a quick overview of many different aspects of computers. I'm happy that he has sparked this interest in creating a website, because I had no idea how it was done, and now as I find time here and there, I will be adding things to hopefully improve it, and get a bit of interest from others who may share the same thoughts, or even opposing views.

In the days, weeks, months and maybe even years to come, you'll learn more about just where I stand on many issues. Central to my current subjects of interest are God, Family, Country, Borders, Language, and Culture!! I guess you could label me as conservative on the political issues, but rather then attempt to pigeonhole me into a political party, I've been growing much more independent in my philosophies. I tend to look at all sides of an issue and make my decisions on what makes the most sense for me. That doesn't mean that when it comes to issues that our better for the country I'm not willing to sacrafice for the good of the many. The same goes in personal issues too. Many times I'll decide to just be the one to suffer so that others may either enjoy themselves or have things easier or better then I will. I guess thats the outlook you begin to take and accept when you are a leader of Marines or a parent, of which I've been blessed to be able to claim both those coveted titles.
