I thought I would open this blog as a place to vent about the issues and life advancements of my life, a place to unload if you will. Here recently in the past 12 months there has been so many volatile changes in how I have lived my life and expectations that it seems as though I am becoming a different person.
Some of you know me if local, I placed a regional paper out for years called Deal Maker. I am a work o holic, it has branded me for years and it is a prison that is hard to break through. I feel to invested in to many things and it causes me to not get much of anything done.
I have many customers with my business, a few of them pay but a lot of them take advantage of me. With the economy in the toilet, who knows if America will ever grow up and be responsible again... Dont get me on the politics of it :)
I am a constitutional conservative and rather then go through the rant... You can google my name and find out any of my thoughts on politics.
2014.... Wow. I was looking back and it is really freaking me out that most all of my kids have grown up and disappeared on me. My oldest son has joined the Air Force and moved on with life and became a very successful and positive accent to society. Even though I dont think he likes the job, he realizes that sometimes in life if there arent a lot of options you have to do something to make your life better. I am very proud of him. He is stationed in the midwest here. I hope to get to visit him in the next couple months or so.
My middle son, has had a hard go of it. we have been working with him for about a year and a half now at trying to get him independent and secure. With the economy in the toilet, and the limitations on opportunity here in Misery, He has done the best that he could in the situation. He recently made a decision to take a job about 100 miles away at a shot of a full time job and a chance to start out his new life out of the shadows of his daddy. I am proud of him for trying. I pray that he succeeds.
I have 2 step children as well. My step daughter moved to Dallas area after college and has done well for herself, and my step son just recently moved out of his grand parents home. He as well has struggled for opportunity here in the middle of no where.
I guess after being trapped in a place that will never be more then mediocre you get a little burnt out. I have always been a go getter and I do not sit back and look for opportunity to happen. I have always been one to make opportunity come to me. As I get older, I see some holes in my life that if I could go back in time to change I would have done this.
I was born on the west coast of Astoria Oregon. Here recently I got the opportunity to visit the west coast Cardiff By The Sea California. We went there to rescue a in trouble brother to try and help him. I fell in love with it immediately and knew that my life would have been so much happier if I could have been near the Ocean. The calmness of the Ocean put an un describable peace over me like I have never had.
Many of you are probably wondering why I did not run for State Senate. I can be clear about this and be sure that you will understand. The values I have and expectations I have for Missouri are not the same as the voters that vote here. They are not ready for responsibility and being taken from the tit of the state, they are not ready to stop buying everything from ChinaMart and all of the others that cripple our jobs in America. My point? There are to many hills to climb with people on board. But when your voice of responsibility only touches on 20% of the population of the state It's kind of a lost cause to push for things that people will not stand for. If you want to know more about where I stand look me up on democracy.com .
Well I guess this will have to do for an opening post.
