Weekend

Well was off for my 3 day break from work, but I decided to make it five instead. I thought I could get some rest but the wife has so much on her plate that it seems to flow right on to mine. I have decided that I can not watch the news, it's just to frustrating to watch Americans die over in Iraq and down south. The thing I find most amazing is our need to blame someone. No matter what the situation is it seems to be out of our hands and someone else's fault. I thought you know being the President would be a pretty good gig. Then I come to find out that he was responsible for the hurricane hitting the coast, and that he only cares about Texas so they were spared the brunt of Rita. These people in New Orleans need to realize they live on the coast below sea level and there are many hurricanes a year. I think the chances of one hitting and causing a lot of damage is real good, so maybe they should move. "But we do not have enough money", they will say. Well when I look at the paper or on the internet there are several jobs out there for people with varying abilities if you just look.
Cindy Sheehan is another one who makes me crazy. I can understand her grief and I do sympathize with her.My thought is that her son voluntarily went into the service, maybe for college money but still he volunteered. The purpose of the military is to fight wars. You do not need to agree with the war but you did volunteer. He died like many others have done in several of the wars that this country has fought in. I am grateful for his sacrifice and the sacrifice of others. I wonder if he watches his mother and is ashamed of her actions, I know I would be. Well enough ranting and hopefully someone will read it and give me their thoughts.
Later!!!!!

Slave to the grind

I don't know maybe it's just me but is this all there is? I mean it seems like I work my life away and try to better my situation by getting a degree, and there are no jobs that will hire you if you have no experience. It seems to be a catch 22 and at the present time I do not find it amusing. I know there are slumps every once in awhile but this has been a continual slump. Is there an end to the ever growing negativity or will the slump only get worse? I do know it could be worse I get be in one of the gulf states getting ready to get nailed by another hurricane or I could be in Iraq or Afghanistan, so maybe I should just shut up and deal with my situation.
Later!!

First Shot

Well this is my first post, so, I hope there will be some people that find what I have to of interest. I have a million things running through my mind all the time. So my thought is to get some of it out and see if anyone has the same thoughts or experiences.
I am 36 and I just earned my degree in Business Administration. What to do now ? I have no idea. I start to think would I be considered an older worker? Do companies really want a 36 year old college grad? If the answer is no, then did I just waste my time and money getting a degree? I would like to think the answer is no, and I will find that dream job that has eluded me thus far in my life.
I look at the World and wonder is it ever going to settle down so we can enjoy some peace. It all seems so hopeless at times. I mean we have the War and then the natural Disasters that seem to be kicking the crap out of the whole world. I would like to think that things will calm down and my children will be able to have Peace in their lives. Maybe I am a dreamer but it is nice to dream.
The price of gas is pretty interesting. We like to pass the blame but the bottom line is we like to consume and so they will keep charging outrageous prices. I think the emails are funny, if we don't buy gas for one day they will have more gas then they will know what to do with. No they won't because we will be out the next day buting what we didn't get the day before.
Well I will close for now and check back later to see if this works.
Later!!!
