Tax Day

Well, it's tax day and it sucks! My wife and I have to stroke a check for $800 for "under paid" taxes. It's amazing how we file as married and pay as single all year and still have to pay. Tea parties are happening all over America today, if I didn't have to work I would go to one. Thought about trying to set up a payment, but it costs you another $105! Just sent the check.

World Police

Why is it the job of the United States to be the world's police? Most countries don't like us, and some just down right hate us! Yet we are supposed to fight wars, pirates, and supply money for these same countries. We put our men and women, in our armed forces, in danger. We send our hard earned tax dollars to these countries. Tell me when are we as a country going to wake up? Call me heartless, or whatever, but I couldn't care less if people in other countries are killing each other over politics or religion, we have people here in the US killing each other. I don't care if people in other countries are dying of poverty or disease, we have people in our country doing the same. Yet, we keep sending our troops and our money overseas to the same countries who don't like us or hate us. Our borders are open to the world, terrorists fly into our airports everyday. Criminals cross our borders illegally everyday. We need to spend our money here in our country, helping our people. This is not hate speech, this common sense speach. This day, I am writing a check to the IRS for $800 for taxes I under paid over the year, and I wonder, how much of this is going to Somalia or another country to use to buy bullets, guns, or bombs to use against the country I love. WAKE UP AMERICA!

A sad farewell

Well, it's a sad day for me, as we say goodbye to the player who got me interested in baseball, the "Bird". There I was, a strapping 13 year old when he came on TV, talking to the baseball and stomping around the mound. I thought to myself, what a crazy guy, but I loved to watch him anyway, and foundly remember the 19 wins and rookie of the year award. I will miss you Bird, your career and life ended too soon.
