news 06.20.2009 some will think im crazy for posting this... time will tell. WARNING, HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. i would like to make a prediction; within 4 years there will be a major conflict (i don't dare call it a war) involving (at least) north korea, iran, israel, and eventually us. i would not be surprised, and almost anticipate, some level of attack against the united states. this will force obama to take action he otherwise avoids, leading to a chain of events eventually uniting the country as we rally behind the defeat of those who wish to harm us. this further results in the revival of our economy, cementing obama's place at the right hand of god. of course this doesn't have to happen as described (over the course of a decade and after the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives) ... we could learn from past experience. i fear, however, we are set to relive the mistakes of our past. 06.03.2009 so what have i been up too lately? how about a new sport (for me) called drifting! might as well put some of that horsepower to work.
05.11.2009 why is ACORN getting government funding?
05.09.2009 who pays for new fuels? 04.03.2009 does anyone else see something wrong when the president of the united states is kicking employees out of public owned companies? how about the ability to shut down any private internet network without regard to the law? maybe i'm being paranoid, but it seems a lot like facism... oh, my wife and i got back from our dream vacation to australia and wow, what an incredible trip. i'm working a separate website dedicated to that trip. if there is one thing i learned while there, it's that nationalized healthcare does not work. 01.27.2009 it has started...
12.05.2008 "The wise and correct course to follow in taxation and all other economic legislation is not to destroy those who have already secured success but to create conditions under which every one will have a better chance to be successful." - Calvin Coolidge (1925) 11.29.2008 "Any man of energy and initiative in this country can get what he wants out of life. But when that initiative is crippled by legislation or by a tax system which denies him the right to receive a reasonable share of his earnings, then he will no longer exert himself and the country will be deprived of the energy on which its continued greatness depends." - Andrew Mellon (1929)
wow, what a crazy past couple months! wait, i guess it's been more than a couple. too much is going on, our church has started its first multisite campus, New Vision so things have been crazy getting that up and running. everything at work is changing, we are becoming one with dendrite as a result of the acquisition so things are moving to new jersey, virginia, and georgia. debbie is almost finished with her nurse practitioner degree, only 7 more months! i don't think i could be more proud, there's no way i could put the amount of time and effort into school as she does. the mustang went for its first ever photo shoot about 2 weeks ago, thanks to a friend from work, Sam Horton, and his friend Leo Aquino. I've compiled all the photos and designed a completely separate site for the mustang - www.the-stang.com, check it out.
yay! i finally updated the website. a lot has happened since the last post in march, ryan is now married for one; congratulations ryan and susan on the awesome wedding. this past weekend we went to cj pony part's bi-annual crusie/drag day. it rained part of the time so that wasn't great, but we did manage to get about 10 runs in. the turnout was pretty good to, with about 20 cars showing up. debbie took a bunch of video and pictures which i have finally posted. debbie and i are still in the process of having hardwood floors installed, check out the pictures here. both debbie's roomates, katie and marcie are pregnant. debbie went to katie's baby shower this past weekend so there are a few pictures from that as well. 03.04.2007 i was checking out some videos on google and came across this one. all i can say is wow, the skill of these guys is amazing. i can't believe how they can do some of the sings they do. i usually don't post this kind of stuff, but this one was especially worthy :-) debbie is sick and has a big test tomorrow :-( a couple more weeks and we will be in florida for her cousin's wedding, although i think debbie's primary goal is getting as tan as possible... wait, that's her goal normally! 03.01.2007 ok, make that three new poems from my grandpa in the misc section. on a side note, the turtle has relocated to a better home. "speedy" has been renamed "buddy" by his new owners. he is getting much more attention and even gets out of his tank to play with the new owners kids. don't worry, debbie wouldn't let him go unless it was too a good home :-) 02.27.2007 my grandpa is on a roll, he has two new poems in the misc section! i'm really starting to go into mustang withdrawal, the jetta just isn't cutting it anymore :-) my right foot is getting heavy. oh well, i guess i will tolerate a few more weeks of snowboarding... i haven't broken anything yet so i'm still good. if you're interested, check out the new site i'm working on for pain specialists of the greater lehigh valley. it's my first use of the full css standard, which probably means absolutely nothing to 95% of you :-) 02.20.2007 wow, where did january go? i can't believe that february is almost over now too. things have been busy to say the least. i know, what else is new right!
pictures are up from the new years eve party, amanda and doug's wedding, and some new miscellaneous additions. also, my grandpa has a new poem up in the misc section! 1.2.2007 we are back from oxnard, california (north of la) after visiting with my parents, eating a lot of banana pudding and playing with the cats for the holidays. we had a great time while we were there, my parents house is awesome and will be even cooler when they finish the development they are in. it's a new marina community and my dad even bought a boat to fill his slip with :-) we went on a whale watching tour which ended up being a dolphin watching tour, very cool. on saturday we visited universal studios which was awesome as well. hopefully i will have pictures up from that tomorrow. for now, pictures are posted of both our christmas in la and christmas in pa in the photo gallery section. christmas in pa was spent at tom and loretta's enjoying the awesome cooking and then followed up with much digesting at the bidwell's house. of course we watched national lampoon's christmas vacation.... a tradition at this point. all in all, it was a great christmas! 12.8.2006 check out my grandpa's new poem in the misc section! tis the season! christmas is appoaching, black friday is over and all the shopping is done... well almost. the goal is to be done this saturday, we'll see. i spent last weekend hooking up the new surround sound speakers i got at circuit city on black friday, i love a good deal. of course running all the wire under the carpet was another thing. debbie and i bought a new digital camera as part of our christmas present to each other, although after we sold the two old camera we had it worked out to be an even better deal. if you are looking for good deals online, make sure you check out pricegrabber.com and froogle.google.com 11.05.2006 11.2.2006 i also noticed that cj's posted some pics from the drag day, check them out here. my car is in a few :-)
10.11.2006 congratulations heather! it couldn't have been a better day for a wedding and everything was awesome. 10.1.2006 the weather is starting to get colder... you know what that means, snowboarding season! debbie now has her own board, boots, helmet, etc so i'm really excited. plus we have a bunch of people who got season passes to bear creek so it looks to be a good time.
9.13.2006 my parents are now both in california. it's quite a change, although we now have a nice place to vacation!
