what up?

hey guys, just wanted to update yall on everything going on lately. it hasnt been anything real special, but life is good. school is going great, and i just signed up to dual enroll next semester, which means i get out every day at 10:45!(im sure shannon is rolling her eyes as she reads that) score. i have class at BCC two nights a week though. but thats alright, definitely worth it. Christmas break is right around the corner, and im stoked. i gotta finish gettin gifts tomorrow before church. speaking of church, we just had a sawgrass student ministry Christmas party. it was awesome, it was at one of my boy's, Caprio's, house. it was a perfect place for the party, plenty of room, we hooked up the 360, the PS3, and the Wii they had over there, played some games, ate some pizza, passed out some gifts, it was pretty sweet. oh yeah, and KJ 52 called, apparently Caprio's dad knows him. how crazy is that? but it was a lot of fun but as always a lot of work, but i was glad to do it. we had a good turn out. i'm really stoked for the break coming up, and the growth of our ministry. and to top it all off my sister's babies are perfectly healthy. they had some problems last week, but the specialist found no trace of it. definitely answered prayer. so thanks to everybody whos been praying, please keep praying, and i want you to know i love all of you.

divine appointment

today, after school, i was walking around a plaza on pines blvd., i had just reapplied to publix (long wait for a job there) and i was walking back to my car. as i crossed the sidewalk, the man in front of me turned around and said, "good news friend, did you know that Jesus Christ died for you?" i replied elegantly with "yeah, i know." (give me a break i was caught off guard). anyways, it turns out this guy wasn't some crazy nut on the side of the road, but a real smart, spiritual guy. his name was james and he was a street evangelist. he said he had just got off the greyhound bus and was walking around when he felt the Holy Spirit nudge him to talk to me. now you have to understand, its hard to convey how cool this encounter was. it wasn't some dude just telling me the Gospel, it was some real life stuff we talked about. i have been praying for a long time now for direction and finding God's will for my life. and i was praying for some answers and at least the next step to be revealed to me. and you don't get any plainer of a sign than this guy crossing my path. it was weird, he hit the nail on the head of everything without me even telling him (the power of God is amazing). he could sense the Holy Spirit in me. when i told him i went to flamingo road church, he said that they have a real good spirit over there because he could tell something special in the people around this area that go to flamingo and Christ the rock. but i went on to tell him what i did in church and about my ministry and about my doubts for the future. now this guy didn't tell me anything really new, but he did reinstate what i needed to do. he told me that i need to commit to follow Christ completely. 100% Jesus, 0% world. (sounds simple, huh?) i told him i was debating the possibilities of the future and whether i should go into a field like business or political science or to go into youth ministry. and he really encouraged me to go into ministry. it was just a really cool encounter and the chances are so small that all of this happened it makes your head spin. i mean this guy happened to be right there when i was walking out to the parking lot, and he just happened to answer some questions that had been nagging me for a while, and he just happened to know all these blessings i'd been given. it was real cool. its hard to explain that its not as crazy as it sounds. it's late and i cant remember everything that was said, and im sure someone could probably tell the story better but it wasn't some doomsdayist on the street corner telling all the harlots to repent, it was real life stuff. or as a friend of mine likes to say, real talk. it was just an awesome experience. i know he wasn't an angel or anything cause he said so. but it was still a really cool divine intervention and a nice unscheduled divine appointment. now i'm reaffirmed, i just need to figure out the next step on my way to serving God. so if you see this guy james in his moccasins on the side of the road, tell him craig says thanks.

thanksgiving

thanksgiving was great. played some football with some guys from church, and then another game with some guys from some publix. came back, had dinner with the family. had a pretty packed house, watched a lot of football. nothing but awesome. then today i got up early again on the weekend, picked up shannon, and we went with my family to get the christmas tree and set up. everybody worked hard, except kelly, she sat a lot. but we got it done quick and it turned out pretty good. it was a lot of fun.

Gainesville

this weekend, i went up to gainesville with a couple of my buddies from church, will and jason. we stopped by will's lake house on the way. it was awesome. the weather was killer and the place was huge. i just wish we would have gotten there earlier to ride the jet skis. the next day we headed out to gainesville for the gator game. we pulled in, picked up a third ticket (jason didn't have one), and walked to the swamp. it was awesome, everything you expect from a UF game, the atmosphere was electric. i had a blast. then we went back to will's bro's apartment and hung out for a bit. later we hit up the movies, came back and crashed about 3 am (normal college time). The next day we headed home, jammed to a lot of david crowder and will popped in some cool sermons from Passion '07. Francis Chan really got me pumped. we got home safe and sound. i was a little bummed we missed church at sawgrass that week, but we got a great student ministry team over there and i'm sure everything went fine. good news was i got back in time for the food drop that night. i went with 7 other kids from my campus team and bought thanksgiving groceries and dropped them off at a needy family's house. only problem was, they weren't home. we had to call for a new family's address, got lost on the way there, but finally found them. then, on the way back, realized a girl lost her phone at publix, so we had to back track there. we were the last group back to church, i only got to see shannon perform one song on the big stage, but in the end, it was worth it. this weekend was a blast, but exhausting. its good to be back home, catching up on sleep. in fact, i think ill go do that now...

happy halloween!

so today i went trick-or-treating for the first time since 5th grade. thanks to shannon. we were referees while sam and scott wore the pumpkin costumes that me and shannon donned last week. we got a lot of weird looks and some discouraging comments about our age, but we got a lot of candy so it was worth it.

home alone

so my parents decided to go to the keys this weekend and leave me in charge of the house. woo, party! just kidding, in fact, its been a more laid back weekend than when they're here. i spent friday doing some unrequested yard work, i figure itll make my dad happy that the hedge was trimmed without him asking. then i got real crazy and rented a movie with shannon. needless to say, ive had a lot of free time. its been neat though, its given me time to read over Acts and Romans this weekend. i love these two books because one, its a refreshing break from my quest to conquer the old testament, and two, theyre such easily applicable books to everyday life. they're often overlooked with most of the focus on the early new testament going to the Gospels (rightfully so) but these books give just as much comfort, wisdom, and training. maybe thats not the case everywhere, but at least it is for me. i feel like ive read the Gospels far more than say, Acts. so i still have some time to kill before church, so i plan on watching the kentucky-LSU game, but i just wanted to sell you on reading some different books of the Bible. :) Kentucky is on the 15 yard line, i gotta go.

gameday and growth

i just got back home from the longest JV high school football game ive ever seen. I went to see one of the boys at my table from sawgrass, robbie, play against my school. robbie did great, he almost got a pick, and laid a nasty hit on a kickoff. i was impressed at what a ball hawk he is. its great to get the chance to go see some of my boys outside of church, i wish i had more time to see each of them individually.

in case you didnt know, our ministry is growing lately. our FRC sawgrass campus cracked 300 last week (by the way me and my sister were counted as numbers 300 and 301, thought that was cool), and our student ministry had over 40 kids! thats stinkin crazy. i remember starting out and we had more leaders than kids there. im thankful that God has blessed me with the privilege to lead these middle school boys in this growing ministry. its awesome that He's chosen our church to reach these kid's life. i pray that He keeps blessing us, and my group keeps growing. i love hangin out with these kids every week and just talking about school, life, and the Word. it is a difficult time, middle school, real awkward, with all the acne and hormones. i just hope that im getting through to them and am able to provide them with some insight, comfort, or leadership. its all for Him though. thine power and thine glory. but its a blast that he lets me work with these kids. i wouldnt trade it for the world. so keep praying we keep growing and let the good times roll.

school computers blow

hello all, im currently sitting in the media center at school, writing this blog. we had to look up some viruses and stuff, im done so im killing time. i just took some quiz online that matched me with the best fit possible presidential candidate based on some issues i voted on. i was matched up with duncan hunter(?) my boy mike huckabee, and joe biden. its kind of funny cause it verified what ive been saying all along. i agreed with the republicans on all the social issues, but the democrats on most of the economic/global issues. thats why i registered as an independent. fight the power! but i really am done with this two party system.

matt is currently cranking some jams next to me. i dont know how none of the teachers/administrators notice. gotta love everglades. well, we're about to go back to class, so i should sign off. ill keep you all updated on my life. ill bust onto shannon's computer later and fill you all in. peace.

wisdom yank

so thursday i got my wisdom teeth pulled. man, it has not been fun. i spent thursday sleeping the afternoon away and then just chilling all night. today hasnt been as bad, i think im pretty much over it. i only sort of look like a chipmunk. but i should be back to normal tomorrow. at least there has been some good sports on tv to keep me entertained. a word of advice to everyone out there, dont have wisdom teeth.

long time, no see.

hey guys, i know i havent posted in a while. its been a hectic few weeks for me. with school, church, and odd jobs in between i havent had much time to sit on the computer and type. life is going real good, and its nice to get back into a groove. albeit, the groove of school, but its still a groove. i have some free time today, since its been early release, which i will use to take a nap. personal reminders of what to blog about later: the lounge, football, beach baptism, sawgrass, etc.

good day.

labor day

God bless Unions! i had a great labor day. i enjoyed it on the beach with shannon and a bunch of other kids from FRC. it was a blast, and i love the short holiday week too. it feels like the week is going by almost fast. i can feel the weekend creeping up. everything is going great. no real news. and no news is good news right? yeah. tomorrow is softball. sawgrass is lookin to go 2-0. woo!

are you ready for some football?

it feels like christmas morning. i woke up to college gameday and big and rich singing "coming to your city" and i couldnt fall back asleep, i knew today was the first full day of college football. there are a few good games on today, and finally football is here. i hardly know what to do with myself. i have to go back to watching pregame. i just wanted you all to know how big of a day this is.

the perfect chicken wing

hey everybody, i had a busy weekend, couldnt get to the blog. got to spend a lot of time with shannon, which was awesome. played tubal warfare after church on saturday, it was pretty cool, i wish more people would have played, but its all good. then i went to chili's with a few people and we all just chilled. sunday was the normal sawgrass/home group. then today was school. on a more interesting note, i got to serve some people in the parking lot today. some girl had a flat tire and needed someone to change it. so me and my buddy got to work, put on the spare no problem, and sent her on her way. i wasnt jumping at the opportunity at first, but im glad i got to do something for someone today. then i came home, did my routine of hw/work out/all that good stuff. then i got to go to jerseys with the guys for 40 cent wing night. now if youve never had a batch of danno wings from jerseys, you should really try something, cause it will open up your mind, body, and spirit. theyre dang near divine. i wouldnt be surprised if they just had bowls of danno wings lining the streets of heaven. but i digress, now with my homework done, no pressing activities, and my girlfriend asleep, i enter my block of unwanted free time. i should go try and find a hobby. im signing off, good day.

batter up

so today was the first practice of Sawgrass Softball. im on the team this year, so i went. it was pretty fun, and softball is a lot easier to play than baseball, which i like, cause i feel almost mediocre at it. i made the only play that came at me behind home plate (they put me at catcher), and i went 1-1, woo batting 1.000. it was just a lot of fun to be out there with some good guys and mess around. the season should be fun too... hopefully we'll win a game this year...

productive

so today was pretty good. 1st and 2nd block were alright, 3rd block lecture was entertaining, i read rick reilly's "hate mail from cheerleaders" during 4th block, so that helped kill time, and school wasnt so bad. what can i say, sports illustrated based writings make any day better. then did a little work, worked out, had a good dinner and got started on my application to UF. it wasnt very fun, but i managed to knock it out, essay included, and it sounded pretty good. its good to feel like you have a future... im just kidding. then i got to go see shannon for a few hours. which made it a great day. plus, there are rumors that my school hours maybe changed for the better, but none of its confirmed, we'll see.

2nd day

only 174 (i think) days of school left. hallelujah! today wasnt as bad as yesterday, it went a little quicker. i thought i was going to choke from the stupidity when my 4th hour teacher had to explain to the class what a million was. (a one followed by six zeros, in case you were wondering) but it was ok, i have to bring something to entertain me tomorrow though, maybe ill grab a book or something. but i came home, worked out, ate, did my little bit of homework, then realized my day was done at 6. so i waited around for shannon to finish her homework and then got to talk to her for a while (thus why im so hyper right now). now i dont know what to do. i realized that if everyday is like this, then i can definitely handle a job during the week. maybe i can go flip some burgers and make a quick buck. we'll see. well, im gonna go search for a book, then hopefully go to sleep at a decent time. so im signing off, hope all of you out there had a good day as well, and an even better one tomorrow.

first day of school

so today was the first day of my senior year, awesome right? eh, it was ok. my first two classes (ap environmental sci and volleyball) look like they're gonna be pretty good. but my last two (gov and earth/space) look like they may seem longer than they are. so now im all set for school tomorrow, i guess i could get ahead and do some homework since my girlfriend needs 10-12 hours of sleep a night and is already in bed, so i have some free time that i dont know what to do with. ill go figure something out to do. on the bright side, theres only 174 school days left for me. man... keep the prayers coming. :)

last day of freedom

so tomorrow at 7:20 ill be once again, stuck in school. its really getting old. at least this is senior year, which should be better than the rest. im actually not dreading school so much. it shouldnt be so bad. i cant go to sleep cause i crashed when i got back from sawgrass today. man, i got to climb the light towers, it was so much fun. number of workers were down, but it was all good. then i had home group, then i got to chill with shannon for a few hours. it was awesome. so now ill go stare at the ceiling for a few hours as i wait to fall asleep. stinkin school.

pretty boring day

good news! i finished all my summer work, with one day to spare. shoot, i couldve procrastinated a whole nother day. but im kind of relieved its done, so tomorrow i can occupy myself with sawgrass/nation's and hopefully shannon if she ever comes home. but yeah, today was pretty uneventful. went to church, spilled some kool aid, and next on the schedule is sleep. things will get busy soon though. well, 4:30 comes early so ill sign off now. but before i go, you all should really come check out FRC Sawgrass (where i spend my sundays) services start at 9 and 10 15, ill be in the student theater trying to teach middle school boys. come visit, itll be a blast. all the high school kids are doing it.

dont procrastinate

so today i decided to tackle the last bit of summer work i had. which was read this book and write an essay. problem is, i underestimated this book. in the words of my friend matt, its pretty trippy. its called Ishmael, its about this super smart gorilla who is teaching this 30 year old what is wrong with civilization. i dont know. i knocked out half of it today. ill read the other half tomorrow and write the paper before church. then im free til monday. hallelujah! man, i cant believe summer is almost over. its alright, school wont be as bad as last year, i have an easier schedule, so ill more time to do fun stuff other than go home, do homework, go to bed.

so now im gonna go see how my sox did today against the angels. they had a double header, and a rookie on the mound, maybe a promising young stud to fill out the rotation. man, i can smell a pennant this year. its gonna be sick. preseason has started and college is getting ready to kick off! praise the Lord, football season is almost upon us! im stoked.

happy birthday shannon

boy was i productive today. i knocked out 11 essays, so now i only have one big essay to do and a practice test and im done til monday. sweet. so after all that, i got the chance to surprise shannon. when she was at dinner with her dad for her birthday i snuck over and left some chocolate, a rose, and a note on her doorstep. i think leigh ann ended up finding it, but apparently it was a big hit and i did well. so thats good. i went over to fridays after i dropped off her gift, and hung out with the GC for karoake night, but had to leave early when my gift was discovered. so i went over to shannon's, got interviewed, passed the tests, said bye, and headed home. its an early night tonight, might be able to catch up on some sleep. but it was a great day. this seems to be a trend developing.

no work done, but totally worth it

so today was another great day of summer, makes me wish it would never end, but i guess i have to. i rolled out of bed and went with avery and OG to get their parking permit, which they ended up not getting. but i got to see my old physics teacher, and said hey to him. then we got some delicious chic-fil-a. then i came home, and walked right out the door to go see transformers with drew. it was good, but my friends had hyped it up too much. i dont know how a movie can still pack out a theater 5 weeks after its opened. that was unexpected. but after the movie, i hopped in the shower and went and picked up shannon. we had some good eats at the olive garden, or the OG, as i like to call it (no relation to my friend orlando gutierrez, the previously stated OG.) then we walked the mall a little bit, rented a movie, and watched it at her place. it was a great, relaxing day. i had a lot of fun.

i can feel it

school is getting closer. dang. today i had to go to everglades and get my parking permit, 65 bucks down the drain just for a square of asphalt. then i came home and worked on some of my summer work with ramos. i got a lot done, then i took a nap. woke up to shannon's call, went over there for supper with the family, had some good chicken, watched some junk mtv shows on the couch and came home. i wish every day could be as chill as this. im gonna miss summer. i still have a lot to do, but im trying not to worry about it and just give it up to God. its hard at times, cause i want to take control. but itll be alright. now its almost time for bed, tomorrow should be quite a day with pete's "graduation party." remember to keep his family in your prayers.

winding down

only about a week of summer left, but its ok. im not dreading school too much. my favorite teacher got a promotion and wont be teaching ap government anymore, so im dropping the course and probably am going to take another class at bcc instead.

but i didnt think about school much today. i got up at 4:45, headed over to sawgrass to set up for church. it was awesome today. i had a great time hanging with my boys, we only had a handful, but i feel like they just had a genuinely fun time hanging out with us. tear down went quick, then i went to my friend's going away party. a bunch of kids from church just chilled at the pool. i had a great time with everyone there. then i went straight to bible study at nation's house. i was late, with spain, keith, and brandon, but for good reasons. jim was fine with it, and he let me close in prayer with scott, which was cool. then we went from there over to the watsons, and i watched double jeopardy with a lot of the people over there. i stayed there pretty late, hanging out. finally headed home and im almost ready to crash. its just been a great day, ive been surrounded by great people and had a blast going from place to place, even with wet shorts from the pool. its about time to hit the sack, tomorrow should be another fun day.

home, finally

i got home yesterday from ocklawaha. middle school camp wasnt quite what i expected, but it was awesome. it was a lot of work. we had to set up/serve/clean up/do the dishes for all the meals, and then clean up after the night games, and tear down, and do fun jobs like that, but overall, work crew was pretty cool. i got to meet a lot of cool people. i had a lot of fun. there was definitely a reason i ended up there. plus i had some quality company on the way up and back. so i cant complain. im definitely down for the rest of the camps i can go to. they've been a blast, so God focused and charged. it was great.

i slept most of the day, but got up at about noon. went to the movies at sawgrass. we saw matt and the sawgrass crew handing out waters on the road, it was good to see them out there spreading the word about FRC sawgrass. we had the same theatre we use for church, made me feel like i should be building something during the whole movie. but we saw the bourne ultimatum. it was good, but the camera was zoomed in too much the whole movie, and it was so shaky i felt a little sea sick. but other than that, it was good.

went to church later that day, chad did a great job. a real touching sermon about pete. i miss pete, but im happy that hes in a better place. pete was my table leader with abel when i was in middle school. it was crazy, our table started off so small, with only about 4 of us, but grew into this huge group by the end of our 8th grade year. it was cool, because before we started sawgrass, i helped out teaching middle school on sunday mornings at the cooper city campus, and i got to help out at pete's table. i could tell he practically ran that place, he did 3 services, had a huge table, and did socials all the time. those kids loved him and it was a great experience getting to work with him and learn from him. it was definitely a God thing that i got to work with him for those few months after he was healed of cancer, and before he had that relapse. i feel like God gave me a great opportunity to get to know pete better and learn from him during that small window when he was healthy. he really made an impact on me and i hope i can be the leader for my middle schoolers like he was for those kids. it was sad when i found out he died, miss watson told me early in the morning at camp, i had a hard time at breakfast, but ive been ok since. i know pete went out on God's time and that God gave him an amazing gift of an extra few months to change the lives of his middle schoolers, his friends, his family, and me. i know im gonna see him again one day, and im going to thank him. love you pete. praise the lord! as my sister says, pete found sudden glory.

here we go again

so i was sitting at my house around 6 today and i got a call from my buddy scott. he asked me what i was up to this week, i said nothing. he said, how would you like to come to middle school camp. so i basically put all the clothes and towels and stuff that just got out of the laundry from high school camp back into a bag and said, alright. so here i am again, im leaving for ocklawaha tomorrow to watch a bunch of middle schoolers make fools of themselves, try to impress the opposite sex, and hopefully grow closer to God. im on the work team, so i shouldnt have much free time, but its all for Him, so ill gladfully serve all those kids biscuits and gravy in the morning. at least ill have some quality company, and maybe ill make some new friends. im sure it wont be so bad. so i'll see you all when i get back on friday. pray for me! over a hundred middle schoolers all running around with their parents hundreds of miles away. i'll need the prayers.

camp

hey guys, i just got back from camp. it was awesome. tennesee was amazing. zip lining and white water rafting definitely topped the list. it was such a God charged week. no distractions, everyone seemed to be on fire for Him. it was amazing. i feel like ive grown closer to the guys in my home group, and have grown closer to God. i can't get the song of the redeemed out of my head. : ) all in all, it was great and im so glad i went. i can't wait for next year.

i love summer

today was a good relaxing summer day. i went to go get my senior pictures today, it was ok. it wasnt fun waiting around, but i got them done, so thats good. hung around the house a little. saw some people i hadn't seen in a while at mcdonald's. then i went and played "crud" at orlando's house. if you dont know how to play, next time you and me are near a pool table, ill show you how. you'll want to play for hours on end. after some intense rounds of crud, i finally went home. i came home and watched the godfather II on tv. i realized that it may tie godfather I for best movie ever. maybe... but its been a great day, im really going to miss summer for times like these. im up at 2:30 and loving it. tomorrow i have to go to wal mart to get ready for tennesee, then church. i hope camp is awesome, this is my first one, so im a little nervous. but i bet it'll be great. well, ill try to get to sleep soon. good night.

throw your L's up in the air

hey everybody,

i went to los olas today with my sister, my cousin jamie and his wife catherine. we walked the beach a little and ate at the oasis cafe. i had a real good philly cheesesteak sub. we had fun, jamie and catherine liked it cause they live in virginia now and its hard to get to the beach. now im back home, just hangin out in my room. everybody is out in the living room playing my little cousin's nintendo wii. just droppin by to give an update. dinner is soon but i dont think i can eat anymore for a little bit.

i need a nap.

night shift

hey everybody. im here waiting for my cousin to get in. im pulling the night shift while my family sleeps. it should be pretty cool, we're getting some family in for the next week and it should be keeping me busy. im looking forward to seeing everybody because i havent seen them in about a year, we'll get to tour em around MIA. woot. man, i hope we rent a jet ski. i was watching a comedian a few days ago, and he made a good point, its impossible to be sad when you're riding a jet ski. next time you get on one, go ahead, try and frown. you can't do it, itll crack in to a smile as you gun through turns and chop over waves.

resurrection in a nutshell

there, i just put all the old stuff up.

i just finished reading this little section in the back of my bible about the validity of the resurrection, and it was real simple and straight to the point. not to mention very convincing. i just thought it was cool how simply they stated everything, id never seen it put together so clearly.

but yeah... its a little past 2:30, and i have to finish watching this rerun of sportscenter before i go to bed. good night all.

a slightly more optimistic rant

i was eating dinner today and talking to my family.
politics came up, and a lot of people had a lot of different ideas.
who knows where this election is going? right now its wide open.
but me and my sister got flak for being idealistic. i just dont understand some people. there are so many problems in the world and we're born into a land of oppurtunities. millions are being slaughtered in sudan, children are killing each other in uganda, people are having natural freedoms withheld by oppressive governments in places like china, unborn babies die here everyday. and what do we do? nothing.
its ridiculous, we're given everything yet we sit around and turn away from the problems in the world, because it doesnt affect us.
me included, i dont do nearly enough.
people ask who are we to interfere? why is it our responsibility?
it shouldnt be our responsibility, its the world's responsibility to step in on matters like this, but we have no strong international organization where we can talk things out with threatened countries on even footing, or any strong international organization that can take charge. the UN doesnt have the power it needs to be the world's police.
so we have to spearhead change.
america, and idealists like you and me.
im tired of the polarizing politics in this country, the media controlling what we think and blaring out the extremes of the political spectrum, im tired of lobbyists and corporations buying our senators and congressman. im tired of the whole system.
im not suggesting anarchy or anything. but im sure there are many other reasonable and moderate people out there that are sick of this corrupt two party system.
i dont know what to do.
come start a centrist party with me.
together, we can change the world.
i know i sound like a hippie, but change needs to start somewhere, and why not here, with us?
we could be the grassroots.
its one world, and we can make a difference.
in fact, we have to make a difference.

an old rant

well, ive been thinking lately. how much we're ripped off in the world. mechanics, ac repair men, oil companies. its not right. i really got mad that these big companies are just lining their own pockets with money and jacking up prices for all of us. and i was thinking what could put a stop to it. naturally, i think the government, and then i realize no, they cant. did you know being brought up in the education system here, not once did a teacher suggest i write to a congressman to tell him about some of our problems and what we want him to do for us. ive been raised just knowing he has the power, why would he listen to us. ive been taught that my voice has no say. we freakin elected him! he's supposed to represent us, but he doesnt. he doesnt represent the people he ran for, or even his own platform, he runs for himself and the lobbyists that paid for his campaign that in turn got him into office. and who pays the lobbyists? the big corporations. so they basically own the government. and who in the government is going to bite the hands that feeds them and stand up for us and stop the raping increases in prices? no one. it makes me sick. theres just so much wrong with the system. bring back teddy roosevelt and some trustbusting or something. now, i love my country and am probably one of the biggest patriots you will meet, but i know its not perfect, theres way to improve it. we need to take business out of the white house. why does everything revolve around the bottom line? i guess money is the root of all evil, huh? i dont know. i dont have the answers. but w/e. theres my liberal rant. and you know, with my conservative views on social issues... i'm a man without a home. what party do i turn to? lol. whatever, we'll see how things work out. i'm just letting off steam. so on that note, good day!

First Post

hey guys, i just started this blog so i could have some way of letting people know whats going on in my head at 2 am on friday nights like this.

ill post some old blogs from another site on here in a bit.
