Well I happened upon a prediction that I made a while back, most likely, in a drunken stupor. God forbid that it comes true and I’m sure it won’t, but I will share with you my thoughts.
Ok so Congress has passed this near-Trillion dollar stimulus package. What if it fails?
I predict, in my conspiracy thinking way that it just may fail. Then hard pressed to find money after over extending our currency, the country goes broke. America unable to find capital then has to try to borrow from other countries. However in the mean time a group of well informed people, wise to the goings on of the world anticipate this. A “fund” is set in place run by said people whom take contributions from other countries in an attempt to buy the debt of America. The contributors are promised “stock” in the USA, equal to their contributed share. However this “company” turns out to have ulterior motives behind the purchase of the country. Once this occurs the company has the final say in issues concerning everything, from the government, to the laws, to the economy. They appoint one member of the congregation, perhaps the famed “Anti-Christ”, to the position of supreme ruler of America, and it’s all downhill from there. Once in power this ruler can change the currency, dictate the religion, imposes martial law, and owns the governing processes. He is the final word, He is the bringer of war and famine, and HE will eventually bring about the greatest downfall of all…. The World!
Like I said this is just a thought, there is no grain of truth behind this; it is just my prediction of the “end” of the world. Take away from it what you will, I feel we are headed for turbulent times and I pray to God that I’m wrong.

Friends
Friends, how many of us have them? Some have many, while some have none. I find that you can have a few good friends, but you have to be able to trust, said "friends". Here I am in Colorado and I realize, that while some may feign that they are good friends, other's will actually be the true one's. Some may claim to be there for you but when the chips are down, they are nowhere to be found. A friend, by my definition, is some one that will be there for you through the thick and the thin. Someone that will never let you down, if you need a helping hand. But then there are those, that are only friends by name. The type of person that is there when you can help THEM out, but strangely they disappear, when you come calling. See I realize that a friend, is more than just a title, a friend can be a person that you haven't seen in many years. When your with someone that just makes you feel right, like you have nothing to worry about when they are near. It may be a friend, that had your back way back when and now that your back, they are watching out for you again.
Some thing's never change, while other things are never the same. The world moves on whether you do or not, the only choice you have, is to move along with it or get left behind. There are so many people trying to live their life, that some times you get lost in the fray. The true friend, will help you survive this life, while the fake friend, will do nothing but drag you down.
Sure your friends may laugh, they may put you down; but if its all fun and games, when you need them, they will be there. My friends! You are the true people of the world. If you show me the light I will follow. If you show me the way I will get in line. But if you lead me astray, YOU, will be the one who ends up left behind. The moral is; to be the best person to those you trust, to those who you hold dear, and to those who, YOU, know will be there, through the thick and the thin. Because when you need them most, a good friend is INVALUABLE!

Next Big Thing
OK, so I'm a child of the 90's, well I was born in the 80's, but conscious for the 90's. So I'm basically, a child of the Internet revolution. The thing is, back a few years ago, I was ahead of the game. Let me explain...
Some dude from the "Clan" of PS (Pikachu Sucks) owned a website. I visited one day, for unknown reasons, and joined a chat room. After getting kicked out, I was very interested, in how said person, was able to remove me from the chat room. This man eventually offered me the chance to learn how to "hack." Little did I know, that the "hacking" he was talking about, was simply using the Admin commands of a chat room client. This, however, was back in the day of the infancy of the Internet, and I was much more gullible then. This man led me through numerous steps to "hack" but never really taught me anything. So I never learned how to "hack." This lead me instead, to create my own site on Angelfire, and learn HTML. I wish I remembered the person who led me to this epiphany. I was quite the "man" in my middle school, for showing my class mates my website. I had a lot of fun making my website and adding all the bells and whistles, like a framed sides and some DHTML to make curious cursors. However after a while I gave up on the site, eventually the site was deleted I assume.
Many years later, I wish I had stuck with my idea, wish I had stuck with the HTML that I learned, but I didn't.
Now I'm here, looking for the next big thing, trying to make money. I wonder now, if I had stuck with the path I was on, if I would have been able to make money from my skill. I would, after all, have been ahead of the curve. Now there are billions of websites and so many good ideas, it's hard to figure out, what is the next big thing?
I am, a man of always looking forward, I look for what the future may hold. The future is hard to read, especially before it happens, go figure. I feel that the next "big thing" is just waiting to be discovered, I just have to find it. So lately my quest is to discover this "big thing". The Internet is a wonderful tool to use, but to use it properly, is a key to success. I, myself, am looking for the best way to use this "tool". Haven't found it yet, I'll let you know when I do.

The Big Bailout
Ok, this morning President Obama had a press conference to push his economic stimulus package. I have some serious doubts about this project. First of all, have we forgotten the $800 billion bailout for the banks? Where did all THAT money go, do you know, does anyone really know? All this talk about transparency and what do we get? Something about as clear as mud, and billions added to the national debt.
Now we're going for strike #2 and I fear that's exactly how it will end up. One of my main concerns, is not that there is so much money in this package and not that the money will go all over the place. My main concern, is that the Democrat's have added far too many worthless and not worthwhile expenditures. I do not classify my self as either Dem or Repub, more of a hybrid of the two, all tho I did root and vote for Obama. There just seems to be too much, excuse the McCain phrase, pork-barrel spending here. I think we need to focus on how these cocky Dems are trying to spend this money or we may get hosed again.

What is up with abbreviations ??
The media in the past few days has been talking an awful lot about Guantánamo Bay prison in Cuba. Now, regardless of why you think Obama should or should not close the place, could you tell me something? Why do they feel the need to refer to the prison as GITMO??? Is there not enough room in the segment titles to fit the whole word Guantánamo? Is the media just so lazy that they have to shorten the word? Or is it just the time we live in? In the new web 2.0 world of lol'z, lmao's, omg's and wtf's, is it "the hip thing to do" to abbreviate Guantánamo to GITMO? I mean there isn't even an "I" in the word, how can they add a letter to a word they are abbreviating? It just doesn't make sense to me.
