I know a lot of people are pissed off that Obama won the election, and it isn ' t because he is black, at least they won ' t admit that ' s the reason anyway... The truth is though that this country has changed, not just in the week since Barrack Obama was elected the next President of these United States, but more so in the last eight years... Under the ruling of George W. Bush, the United States has decided against funding a possible cure for numerous diseases, we have encouraged businesses to go out of the country for cheaper labor, and we have started invaded a country that we have no business being in... We are supposed to be looking for Osama Bin Laden and Al Quaeda, not going into a country that posed no threat to the US at all... Of course under the Bush ruling, we can attack any country if we feel they are, or shall ever become a threat against us... In the week that Obama has been the President elect, he has hinted at giving Americans another stimulus package, getting companies back to hiring American workers, going after Bin Laden and Al Quaeda, and overall making America a place that we can be proud of once again... … View Post »

Lucy and her dad did the brakes on my car a few weeks ago... I don ' t get to drive my car much since Krissy takes it to work everyday, but when I do drive it, I must say that it is a lot better than it has been the last few months... I ' ve put a lot of money into my car and I don ' t know much about them, so when I have a chance to learn about them by either doing something myself or reading up on it online, I try and understand it as best as I can, so maybe next time I can fix something myself, or at least have a better understanding of what is wrong... I know that doesn ' t sound bad, but when you are driving around in 90 degree weather in a resort town and traffic isn ' t moving, you get to the point where you want to sell your soul for some relief... About six months ago I needed tires and an oil change, which afterwards they told me my serpentine belt and waterpump needed to be replaced... After that I needed a brake job and another oil change... … View Post »

I didn ' t think that in this day and age a black man could be president... Don ' t get me wrong, I believe that he is the best person for the job... How bad is the country, when even the Ku Klux Klan endorsed him to be President?... Now I realize that people are coming out and saying he is a Socialist and that isn ' t what we want for this country since we are a Democracy, to the people who say that, I say, you don ' t understand shit so stay home on election day and keep your ignorant opinions out of the polls... If you aren ' t rich, there ' s a slim possibility that you will ever get rich, and if you are poor and have no healthcare then you are out of luck... Socialism works, Socialized medicine is something that we are missing... Quick you better stop paying into it, after all you don ' t want to support Socialism right?... He has said that anyone who makes over 100,000 dollars a year will be paying more taxes, I didn ' t hear him say that it was going to exclude black people making over that amount, or that black people making under that amount will be getting the tax breaks, because he can ' t say, nor can he do that... … View Post »

You have the blank ones that allow people to write their own message in them, but in actuality someone either just writes Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, or one of the many other various forms of those two phrases, or they use the blank card as an excuse to write a whole well thought out letter... The problem with the latter is that many people put Christmas cards on display which people tend to open if they see them on display, which means that in turn your personal letter is on display... Personally I hate either one, mainly because even if you still write a letter, a card with a predefined image on it seems impersonal... I would want to send out cards that either I designed, I hand made, or had something to do with me and my loved ones, something like a picture as the card, or maybe one I photoshopped, either way I ' d want it to be personal... … View Post »

I have been trying to figure out how to afford Verizon cell phones and a cellphone plan... I even tried paying for part of the first bill with a gift card, but that only messed things up, so I couldn ' t do it... I know Krissy wants Verizon for the unlimited In-network calling and text messaging, which is fine, but I just need to figure out how to afford the phone that she wants... Years ago I had a Cingular plan, a few months before they had merged with AT That was all right, but I think now that I am working I need something that I can check email with and check the news, that kind of thing... I am really just looking for the best cellphone that I can get at a great price, I was even thinking about going with Tmobile for their Sidekicks, but after looking at the Tmobile phones , I didn ' t really see any that I ' d want that I could afford... Who knows maybe I will find a good Sprint cell phone sale that I could buy a phone at a good price... … View Post »

I will admit though that I am not sure how good it will be for programming, but for just writing webpage text and blog posts, it would save a lot of time and keystrokes... In this YouTube video, you can see a blogger using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred to write a blog article with in WordPress... She writes this great little article that ' s about 280 words long in about two minutes and 45 seconds... That means she ' s typing a little over 102 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking... Dragon NaturallySpeaking has come a long way over the last decade, and now can enable people to type at 150 words per minute... As a blogger myself, I am able to write longer articles, with more complete thoughts on a subject in a significantly reduced amount of time... I think that Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a great tool that can definitely help bloggers increase the value that they offer their readers... It has been my experience that you will not get as tired from typing, you will not suffer from eye strain as much and as a result will experience fewer migraines or headaches, and you will be able to move around your office, your home, or your work environment because you will not be locked in front of your computer sitting in a chair typing and mousing around with your fingers... … View Post »
