Our founding fathers set up our government so that it would not leave the most important decisions to not only one individual, but a group representing every square mile of our nation. Iv herd things like, the political jobs are groomed from the start, and its all predetermined who is going to be president. To the electoral college is rigged and the popular vote does not matter. The bottom line is that the basic structure of our government allows for diversity without indulgence. Sianara...

Today I watched part of a show on a cable network, and was shocked when I saw A reality show Mom, cook on the stove while two of her children were playing at her feet, one of them was siting in the storage drawer directly under the oven. I am at a lose for words. Sianara......

With very little sleep for the week, I find myself thinking of things that have laid dormant for some time. What I'm referring to is family, and what that means. What you do for or to individuals, is what defines your importance to that person. Family should give unconditional love. So does that mean that if, God forbid, a family member commits a felony, do you turn him or her in? Or do you do something ells. Now I feel lucky to not have had to deal with that, but some people have. Lets tone it down a bit and let's say that a family member steels from you. What would you do then? Some people would never talk to them again. With me, it would depend on how they handled the after math. If a person commits to a bad choice, what he or she does after the caca hits the fan, will in most cases give you a clear view into that individuals hart and mind. There is only so much that you can do. People who do not want to change, are not going to be persuaded to change. There are some exceptions to the rule, but for the most part if they do not want it there is very little you can do, other that keep them in your prayers. In closing I would like to thank the Doctors and Nurses for all the work they did on me. I have a new found respect for the VA. Yesterday I felt I was back on a military Hospital like the ones that I remember from childhood and active duty... Sianara

I got into my first fight when I was in kindergarten. I lost and ended up on top of an ant hill, put there by a bigger kid. Iv always said that you have to get your but kicked at least one time, so you know what its like. The lesson I learned was the one of mercy. Later, in first grad, I had a kid who wanted to fight me because I didn't back down to his remarks. So I told him that I would be happy to fight with him, as long as I change my school clothes, because if I got my school clothes dirty, my Dad would have my rear end. I won that fight. It was the first fight that I won. I remember my brother telling me what to do. He told me to strike first and hit hard. That's what I did, and the poor kid ran home in tears. I felt guilty for hurting someone like that, but I quickly recovered from that with the help of the victory over the bully. Sianara....

I cant help but feel irritated, in regards to all the doom and gloom everyone is talking about. Im going to try my hardest to follow a positive note. We as Americans have a gift. That gift is that fact that we are fighters. We fight for what we believe in, and most of us keep fighting until its over. The buying and selling of goods and services, is what fuels the economy. If you don't spend your putting the brakes on progress. Just make sure its your money your spending. Sianara

I feel like I do in some of the dreams that I have where I cant do some things, like run or walk. I find myself moving my legs and not going anywhere. I feel young in spirit, but old in body. I keep telling myself that I'm at a pit stop, getting things fixed so that I can continue on the the last part of the race. All I have to do is believe in my pit crew and focus on the road ahead. Knowing that the finish line is mine as long as I do not quit. Sianara

Suffering from chronic pain, brings out the inner most you.. Most people revert to our primal traits. that is of food and water, shelter and affection and every thing ells seems to just wither away, and the next thing you know you are following a regiment totally different than what you planed, prier to your injury. Slowly you start to loose the need for the basic things as well. That's the critical stage that one must past muster on, because if you don't, its for keeps and your gone, game over. The only thing I know is that I'm doing this on a day by day basis. Its funny, when it comes to the humane body you cant really predict whats to come next. All you can do is stay alive and stay out of peoples way, and pray your but off, and every thing will come out in the wash. Sianara...

A new friend of mine turned me on to a verse in the Bible, Philippians ch-4 verse-4-5-6 and 7. Now ,I don't read the bible as much as I should, but It talks about the importance of being nice to every one. That really rang a bell with me, the being nice part. The reason I say this, is because when your in pain it's really easy to not be nice, I see it at the VA often. You have guy's coming in for service, and not feeling very good, and expect people to jump at their request. I mean if your in pain I can understand why you would be so demanding. I myself am one who goes in for service and tries to use more honey than vinegar, because in many VA's across the country there is a Veteran working behind the desk. When your in pain, that's when its hardest to be tolerant. So I welcome the challenge every time I deal with people who just don't care. Sianara....

We strive as young adults for more responsibility as we are climbing the proverbial latter. We multi task and and try and reach the goals that have been set . Then, as we enter the latter part of our lives, we seem to want to get rid of as much responsibility as possible. sounds like a simple cycle. If you apply simplicity to life, you simply get less aggravation in return. Ill never forget when I was told to stick to the basics. I new that phrase had profound meaning when I herd it. Sianara...

On a day like today I would like to thank the men who hit the beach knowing that they could be the next to fall. Even though they feerd possible death, these are the men and women who put everything ells aside and executed orders, regardless of their innermost feers. Its because of them, that I'm able to publish this blog. The fact that I receive better care than my brothers and sisters coming back from Vietnam, I attribute to the same men who made a blood deposit in Vietnam and felt the end of a whip held at the hands of his countrymen when they came home,
and didn't just lay down, but pushed the Veterans Administration to provide comparable care, comparable to the commitments they were ordered to keep..So on a day like today I thank them for going first and fighting for the rights we have today as Americans. Growing up abroad, and then coming to America was the biggest lesson I have learned in my 41 years on this earth. The fact that I can go down to any city, state, or federal government agency, and ask them for a permit to protest against the very same agency that's issuing the permit, and get it, to me is the most amazing thing in the world, after child birth. My point is that people will always want more. I cant tell you how many times iv witness people badmouth the Police, and then be the first one to dial 911 when he or she needs help, and then complain on the service, or try and file a petition in court, alleging one thing or another, knowing that the possibility was there that they may get a small settlement just for putting a hand on the bible to say "Yes", and the very next Sunday be at church asking for forgiveness, something I only noticed in a Gypsy. That was until I started working fraud and chasing wanna be gangsters. We must all be thankful for what we have, I myself, as iv said before "I will never even take the ability to smile for granted.", and ether should you.. To my Brothers and sisters at arms, To you I bid God speed, may you hit first and hard, with the wind always at your back. Sianara....

At about this time on June 5 1944 the Rangers from the Second Ranger Battalion, companies D, E and F under the command of Lt. Col. James Earle Rudder, where on a ship in rout to Pointe du Hok Germany. I can not even start to think about what they were thinking of. Knowing that they may not be coming home, maybe thinking of the walks that one of them may have taken with a loved one, or maybe there was a Ranger that was thinking he could not wait to get home so he could go on a date with the beautiful red head Molly, who he met at a going away party, who only lived two towns away from his. Or maybe there was a Ranger thinking that he could not wait to get over there and kick some fartfunugan ass. Regardless, I hope that they where thinking that the mission at hand would be monumental in regards to humane history. I hope they new that we as Americans would never forget their sacrifice. I'm sure that it was pretty gut wrenching knowing that if they did not succeed it taking Pointe du Hok, the rest of there brothers would suffer large casualties, If I would have ben able to say something to those men I would have told them That in less than 2 hours you men are going to fight the biggest fight of your life's, and I will always hold them as Hero's. My children will be told stories about the brave men who answered the call of duty, and without reservation, crossed great oceans, in order to bring down a Teireness faction that followed, as the 40 president of the United States Ronald Wilson Reagan said, concoring way's. I would tell them that I love them, and would, for the rest of my life see them as my American Rangers. And to never forget, that they are America, and because of them, we would always be free men and women. I would say thank you and God speed. Out of the 225 Rangers to hit the point. less than 100 made it. to all 225, I solute you and thank you! Sianara.... I will never forget........

I Had a good friend of mine, who has since passed on, who told me one time that he was on a gypsy task force in Chicago, and would work civil cases for larger auto finance companies, in regards to allegations of fraudulent intent or otherwise. He told me that his first contact with Gypsies, happened when he would go and rent a horse at age 10 from the Gypsy stables. he learned only later about a Gypsies greed and did so on the other side of the world knowing that he was dealing with the same ideology of what a gypsy believes, thinking they have God's permission to steel, same gypsy mentality that he witnessed as a child, but this time he wasn't on the friend or costumer side of the Gypsy salesmen and locale thief . he was on the side of the guy who was taken by the gypsy. He said that they would pretend not to be greedy, but deep down inside they were. He told me , he was caught up in a discrimination case, where a Gypsy AKA Travelers, alleged that my friend "discriminated the Gypsy race." By implying that all Gypsies in the area of the Chicago metro to include suburbs, and the Michigan, Florida, Illinois Gypsy criminal circuit where all up to no good. He started laughing, and said" Gypsy? Gypsy is not a race of people, its different races, with the same ideology.

My point is. If it is not yours. Don't touch it. If you cant afford it. Don't take it from someone ells who can . Because the minute some jack ass starts to think "hey I'm going to go out and take something that's not mine" we will guaranty you 3 meals per day and a warm bed to sleep on. My friend said that the client with the Gypsy Problem, changed their language and started calling our targets "Travelars". Sianara...

My Lord and Saviour. I ask on this day that you grant me vision, so that I can see and avoid he who comes to me on his white mount, draped in simple cloth and wearing his crown of twine. Lord help me to navigate past the false profits that only want to remove your seal from my forehead. Lord thank you for giving me the chance at ever lasting life. I ask this in your sons Jesus name Amen....
