Obama's acceptance speech

Did you see Barack Obama's acceptance speech last night? Boy, this fellow has got his act together! Now, on the other hand we have McCain, a noble man but caught up in old Washington politics. He's picked a woman as his running mate, in order to tap into Hillary's supporters, but this just might be his swan song. I think for the most part Hillary's backers will now support Obama. I cannot wait for the debates to start. Obama is a communicator, the likes we've not seen for a very long time. If I'm right, the debate should look more like the Reagan/Cater debates..."there you go again"! So bring 'em on whoever they may be, Barack's at the wheel and ready for anything that McCain can throw at him.

Plot to assinate Obama in Colorado

Well, I knew sooner or later something like this would happen. The police have arrested three men who were planning to kill Obama , because he is black and they said no "Ni**er" should occupy the White House! You and I both know that if you've lived in this country long enough that there are a lot of people who are still very prejudice against blacks. Oh, they route for them in football and basketball, but don't show that you have a brain like Barack has, because they want black people to always feel inferior to them. This is what I really dislike about America, sometimes too much freedom can be a bad thing...especially when you have people like these guys running around loose.

Well, I hope that this will be the first and last thing that we hear about anyone trying to hurt Barack or any of the candidates. We live in the greatest country on earth, yet we also have some of the weirdest people too.
Stay safe Barack, we who support you want you to show the world what a real leader looks like...and in our country they now come in all colors, so get used to it!

Hope

Well, we made it another week! Friday...oh dear Friday, so many people work their asses off all week just to get to this day. So go out and eat, drink and be marry my friends because it doesn't last forever, there will come a day when this will only be a distant memory, and believe me, it comes at you faster than you think.
Anyway, I found a real nice video that I'd like to share with you, this video gives us HOPE, hope that there will be a tomorrow. With the world in such turmoil nothing is certain.

McCain's now leading in the polls...yeah, so what!

I got up this morning to learn that McCain is suddenly leading Barack in the latest polls. I hope that the American people will soon see through the negative advertising he's using against Barack. All you'll ever get with McCain is more George Bush, and I for one have had enough of Bush! I'm sticking to my guns and not wavering at all about Barack, I know that this is the man to lead us out of this dismal situation that we've been in for the past eight years. They say "negative" advertising works, however many times we wind up with the wrong man in office because of it. Don't forget, we voted Bush back in for a second term, so we didn't learn anything the first time! We need a man like Barack to lead us out of this endless BS and regain the confidence and respect of our allies around the world again. Our economy is also in disarray, since when does McCain know anything about the economy? He doesn't, and I'm not too sure that he knows anything about foreign affairs either. Remember, politicians say anything to get elected...McCain has been in Washington for many many years and what has he done? Not much my friend. Oh, he's made friends with the likes of Ted Kennedy and his new found buddy Joe Lieberman...talk about a "maverick", he's more like a "LIBERAL than anything else! Barack may be new and without much history behind him, but listen to him talk, he's a leader, something that we've lacked since the Clinton days in the White House. McCain doesn't know who we're even fighting, he had to have Lieberman (D)whisper in his ear to correct him, remember? LOL Ready to be President, yeah right! Remember, Bush didn't have much experience either, yet the people (not me) put him in office. The GOP uses many "tricks" to get their man elected, so don't be fooled again...we can't afford four more years of George Bush! Unfortunetly some people have to learn the hard way, I hope that it's not this time!

Tuesday and counting

Well here it is Tuesday, the day before my favorite day...Wednesday. Yes, I love Wednesday, because of two things. First, it's the day that all my favorite shows are on. Like MONSTER QUEST, UFO HUNTERS and GHOST HUNTERS! Wow! what excellent shows to have on Hump Day. Programming like this gets me through the week...it's like Friday starts on Wednesday, for me anyway. Second: We(d)nesday has a "silent" "D" in it, something that you don't see very often. I don't know why there's a "D" in it anyway, it seems like a waste of a letter to me. No wonder why so many people have trouble learning English.

This is the last week that the swimming pool will be open for this year, so I will be taking the gang swimming again some time this week. I took them the other day and Hannah really "shook" she was so cold, so I don't know if we'll put her in the water this time, it depends on how warm it is. We don't want her to get sick.

I don't know if you've noticed or not, but I can't get a page rank on my Blog, no matter what I do. At the same time some people that hardly ever post get a ranking! They've got to change the way that they determine who gets a rank, there is just too much unfairness the way that it is now.

It's Friday!

Friday is finally here, soon the kids will be back in school. I'm telling you, the time is moving so fast that I just can't keep up with it. In some ways I just hate to see Tiana go back to school, it brings to light the fact that she's growing up, something that really bothers me, me being an older father. I just hope to live long enough to raise her. Lately so many people have been dying in their 50's and 60's that I wonder when my time will also come. Love your kids my friend and enjoy every minute with them that you have, because when it's over, it's over forever. No one really knows if there is anything after death, because no one has ever been able to come back and tell us...knowing this; appreciate what you have today, there may not be any tomorrow.

Hump Day...

This is a sad day indeed, I just found out that I didn't win the "Lottery"! Man I've been waiting a very long time to win, but it just seems to elude me. I do plan to win someday though, and when I do...watch out Philippines! LOL

We're planning on caulking around all of our front windows to try and get rid of the "Bee" problem. We went to the Home Depot yesterday and purchased everything we need to get the job done. Let's hope that this finally does it.

Have you been watching the Olympics? Did you know that Michael Phelps trains at the University Of Michigan in Ann Arbor? Great job Michael!

Hannah's photo,Bees and the Olympics

Here I am again showing our kids off, but hey, it's my Blog and we parents love to do that...don't we? LOL Anyway, I just thought that I'd add a nice picture of Hannah for you to look at while you're visiting my Blog. Hannah's so pretty, just look at her eyes. The love of a father...oh my.

Well we're expecting rain some time tonight. We still can't find out where those "Bee's" are coming from. This may take a professional to find them, but I'm sure that theres a nest in one of our walls somewhere. This morning there were about twenty of them around our front window and a few around our side window. All are now deceased!

Are you ready for the week? Not me, I hate Sunday, don't know why...I think it goes back to my school days, when I knew that I had to go to school the next day. These days, I like Wednesdays because most of the shows I watch are on TV.
I'm not yet into the Olympics, maybe when "track and field" get going I'll gain some interest. This time around it just hasn't inspired me to watch and I really don't know why.

Well, have a great week and come back and visit me again soon...I miss not having you around!

End of week/start of weekend!

Well it's finally Friday..wow, that was a long week, to tell you the truth. Anyway, the weekend is almost upon us and it's not going to be very long before Tiana is back in school. I promised to take her fishing before school starts, so we have to go and buy some fishing tackle. It should be fun though. I'm also sure that she'll get quite "bored" when she finds out that it takes a lot of time to catch fish. They just don't say to themselves...wow, a fishhook, I guess since I have nothing else to do except swim around, I'll just bite on it and see what happens! No, no, no that's not the way it works, and she'll soon find that out. I guess I'm good for taking her at least once and see what happens. Knowing her, she'll soon tire of fishing and want to run off and play. I'll write about it after we go, but there may not be too much to write about! LOL Have a great weekend friends.

Buzzzz!

We've got a "Bee" problem. Every time we get up in the morning, there are several flying around our front window. Tiana was stung by one the other day, trying to remove it. It seems to me that there may be a nest inside our house wall near our front window, because they always appear there. We've looked, but cannot see anything. This is getting frustrating and we need to find out where they're getting in. Most of the time they have to be seen entering a nest to find it. This may be the case here too, so it could take some time to rid ourselves of them...unless we hire someone to eradicate them. We'll try the old fashioned way first and see if we get lucky.

Too much Obama, not for me anyway

I just read an article that states, 2/3 of Americans are getting tired of hearing about Barack Obama. This is hard for me to understand, because if you watch news programs, they say that he's the "new kid on the block" and he needs to, not only impress upon the people his positions, but tell enough about himself, so that the people will in fact "get to know him". Polls blow me away sometimes, like this one. This is a "damn if you do, damn if you don't" situation for this candidate. John McCain on the other hand is well known. I'm not too sure that many of us like his Washington as usual approach to solving our nations problems though. A change of direction is surely needed. Maybe after the conventions are over with and the three debates start, we'll get a better understanding about this new "rock star" Obama...McCain, we all know about him, and I'm not too sure we want him to lead us in the same direction as George Bush!

McCains going negative...

Well it looks like John McCain has decided to go "negative", I think he knows that this is the only way that he has to defeat Obama in November. But people are getting tired of politicians taking pop shots at each other and making "exaggerated" statements. Look at what the Republicans did to John Kerry in 04, shameful to say the least. Now their trying the same thing in 08 with Obama. The American people want CHANGE, not old Washington politics, but McCain doesn't get it. Issues are piling up but because of negative adds, they really are not talked about enough. Let's get these guys back on track and hear how they will solve our countries problems. I know that McCain is not for National Health Care, so on that issue alone I have to go with Barack. Wake up John, not everyone has great health care like you have.

Mosquitoes everywhere!

You know, since we moved to Michigan, we had not seen many "Mosquitoes" for several years now, but because of all the rain we've had lately, they seem to be everywhere! We've been letting the children play outside in the evenings because it's been so hot during the day, but this has turned out to have it's own problems. MOSTETOES...MOSKETOES...MOSKETOES, man, their everywhere! Tiana has bites all over her body, but luckily Hannah has managed to avoid them...so far anyway. It happened so fast that we were unaware of it happening. Right now, I'm trying a few things to try to combat them, but in the end the insects usually win these battles. They've been on planet Earth allot longer than we have, and I'm sure adapted to all types of chemicals to rid ourselves from their wrath. Cockroaches and Termites were the problem when we lived in California, but these little "Dracula's" top the list as far as formidable opponents. I guess we just have to learn to live with them, since we can't beat them.
