*slaps forehead with palm*

so the government just took over sallie mae and freddie mac.

what’s that mean?

we just took a HUGE step toward socialism.

now, instead of a free market, publicly traded company holding your mortgage, the government does.

Well, Jeremy, this is a good thing right? no more predatory lending!

false. you know our fearless commander in chief that has dragged this country through the mud the past 8 years? you know the cowardly panderers we have for congressmen that vote based on their wallets and not on what the people want? you know those guys? well they’re in charge of which house you can buy!

what gives them the right? not the constitution. I dare say jefferson and washington would have been dumbfounded if they knew what was going on. we revolted because of 2% tax and the british govt. forcing us to house a couple thousand troops. that’s just a drop in the bucket compared to what our “freedome loving, liberty granting” slime balls are doing now.

to quote Mel Gibson in the patriot we’ve “traded one tyrant 3 thousand miles away for 3 thousand tyrants a mile away.”

I hope some state musters the huevos to seceed. Alaska will do… they’re already marginalized. The first one that does because of libertarian reasons, i’ll be there in a heartbeat.

If I were…

If I were in America in 1776,

I would have been a loyalist. I don’t believe the declaration of independence was a good enough reason to declare independence from the British government. See Romans 13, and let me know if you think it’s okay to do that.

If I were in America in 1865,

I would have been a Confederate. But wait… how’s it okay for the south to revolt against the north but not the british?

John Calvin would call it the law of interposition.

The Revolution was started by citizens who have NO right to throw of their government. The Civil War was started by elected officials. So when you’re immediate govt. revolts against the higher government, it is up to each citizen to see where his loyalties are.

btw. really look at lincoln and see what he did. HE SUSPENDED THE CONSTITUTION. he assumed full control… when someone who our govt doesn’t like does that, we call it a dictatorship, but when ol’ Honest Abe does it, we call it “Savior of the Union.”

The following is a list of terrible presidents, who if Maryland had ever revolted against, i would have joined in:

Lincoln

Hoover

Wilson

Roosevelt

Truman

Nixon

LBJ

Carter

Reagan 

Bush

Clinton

Bush jr.

… this blog alone is enough to disqualify from every being president.

why?

because it’s critical and honest

Only Twenty Two

At kia every pay day is a day wrought with thoughts of the future.

I know it wears on my wife’s nerves at times.

With my retirement and insurance plan, we’ll be very well off (when we’re 70).

I’m grateful for that, but it seems so hard to get ahead right now and i get impatient.

And then reality sets in:

“Jeremy..” says I to myself, “now Jeremy, what you gotta realize is that you’re 22. you just graduated. you’re not supposed to breaking the bank.”

I’m grateful for my salary. And i’m glad i get to scrape through the next year or so with my girl

Love Me Some ‘Poppers!!

The past few weeks, I’ve been taking stock of my adult life.

I’m working full time, taking classes in the evening. I make good money and have an excellent wife.

I guess, the only thing i’ve been missing is having a lot of friends my own age to hang out with.

At Geneva I couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting someone my own age who would want to share a coffee.

now i have about 30 middle aged guys who would love to complain about young lazy people and those explative democrats ruining the country.

In spite of all this, God is good. My 2 techs at work are really cool. chris is 28 and eric is 19… and although we frustrate each other when things get busy, we always find ourselves ruthlessly making fun of each other and laughing about any number things.

I’m thankful for my friends though i miss the christian fellowship aspect… but perhaps god is making this my mission field.

who knows?

a google for most stressful jobs turns up the following #1 article…

 

The one thing on which numerous stress studies conducted in the past 15 years can agree is that stress can – - and does – - occur in every occupation. The amount and type of stress that might be experienced by workers within that occupation will be dependent upon many factors. These include performance demands, interpersonal demands, and physical demands.

Jobs that require employees to hide their true feelings and emotions are considered to be the most stressful. These would include jobs in:

- medicine,
- teaching,
- social services,
- customer service,
- fire rescue and
- law enforcement.

uggh…. you have NO idea how true that is.

mom said customer service is a constant roller coaster ride.

it makes weekends feel like the slow click… click… click up the first big hill.

then monday rolls around and woosh.

you’re in for the ride of your life.

Blogging on a Monday Night

So life remains to be busy; but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Kelly and I have been having a good time. It..t seems as though blogs tend to be a be a means of venting frustrations…or complaining and not feeling guilty…that’s not the case for some people, but i know that’s what my blog can be about…so before i write about what’s bothering me, I’ll write about what I’m thankful for.This weekend with my wife has been really good. we did absolutely nothing, and it was amazing. Work had been difficult and it made that much-needed rest all the sweeter. It was truly a blessed sabbath.Kelly and i also had a good night tonight. I don’t really like reality tv shows, but there’s one on ABC about newly weds and it’s turned out to be a good conversation starter We’re learning more about each other’s communication styles and what we need to do to make the other happy. We want to be as close to each other as possible, and we love being around each other, and we’re learning to do that in better and better ways.I’ve been able to apply to a lot of jobs. although it’s a bit early to really get serious about applying, mom’s really been on the ball for me, and i really appreciate it… hopefully the openings will keep open till may ( 2 months in the world of business is close to an eternity).So here’s what’s frustrating:TARGET CORPORATIONmy boss was in a bad mood. he’s unappreciative and kind of a jerk. but i suppose you’ll have that. i’m really tired of target. i’ve worked there since august doing the same trivial tasks. i do the same work over and over again. it’s getting boring. i’m tired of going unnoticed. I want to be salaried. i want benefits. i want more security. i want opportunities for growth. i think those are things that God intended work to be for men. Since creation it was to give us purpose and be a special part of our lives. and i’ve come to realize that Target is not my final calling. I must acquire the patience to endure this necessary step in the process that will refine me into a good employee and hopefully manager one day.i love my wife and struggle with being content with my job.life is beautiful.
