The following is a partial entry. if it gets some comments I will finish it. It is a little old, like 2 months, but I wanted to get something up. Podcast comming this week so keep a watch out for it.
===========================================
I have gotten a little behind on this yet again. There has been a lot things going on with me, and I am sure that all of you are just itchin for me to enlighten you. Well sorry but I am not going to do that here at this time.
The question for today is.. . . .
Is it really the things that we know that make us smart? or not smart?
We all think very differently. Some people have earned the title of "smart" and others have earned the title of "not as smart" (word that how you will). Why is this? why do some of us get these different titles? I know people that have different titles, both of which are on opposite sides of the spectrum.
Am I smart? I often wonder if I would be called that, or if I would be just called dumb. I don't think about it too often, and I know that there are things that I am very smart about, and other things that I am not. But in the eyes of those around me I wonder what they think about me from time to time. If I am the kind of person that they would come to for advice.
Does it really matter what others think about us? I guess in the great scheme of things it does not really matter what others think. We seem to all know this, and yet we all seem to forget this as life goes on. The ones that truely ignore what others think about us seem to be happier. What is so special about them? I don't know, perhaps it is the ability to sustain their own lives with out the need of other people attention.
I often try to separate myself from the need of other peoples attention to be succsesfull, or to find pride in my work. I have found however that it is harder than it seems to do that. lets give an example of what I am talking about:
I used to work for a cleaning company, and at that time I was a supervisor at a building over the night shift. I was wanted to do something to spice up the look of the building with some detail cleaning. So I elected to clean the push plates on all of the doors. So I got the tools required to polish them and then begain to polish. Well when I was done, I realozed that they were all clean evenly. That in reality most people are not going to notice cuase they are not going to have anything to compair it to. so to let people know about all of the work that I do, I left half of some of the push plates unpolished.
The next day I got a call from the facility manger and he told me that he liked the work that I had done and asked when I would finish the rest of them. I told him the I was going to do so that night, and of course I did.
Now would this guy have noticed the job that I had done if i had not left half of it incompleted? I don;t know nor will I ever I guess, but the point is I was looking for the approval of this person to alllow me to think that I did a good job. Is it not good enough that I could have.

My 60 opinions responses
Well I have gotten some decent responses to the last post that I did. I did not think that I was going to get out another blog before my next podcast, but I guess I am going to now. I want to get this done while it is on my mind or I know that I will forget to do it.
Well I am going to respond to an e-mail response that I got today. (by the way I love to talk about all this stuff so feel free to comment or e-mail me.)
the first one is
opinion: I am for the Iraq war and I think that we should stay there and get the job done.
E-mail: What Constitutes Get it done?
Response: Well that is a LONG conversation in and of itself, and I fully intend to post something in depth about the Iraq war, but it will take some time as there are a lot of things that are happening right now that I want to see what happens first.
But to Clearify that one a bit more. We should help the Iraqi people build up a stabel Democoracy. I know that it will take time but it is War, and things do not and will not always go as we want them to. If we turn and run away and "lose" this war everything that we have fought for and everything that people have died for could be in vain and all for not cause Terror could take over there. Also this would in the future effect us, as it would be on emore place for it to grow. We will be attacked again. I just want to make it be as FAR OUT as possible. so if there is one less place for them to be then well lets make it that way. If not we will be there again but I think that it will be under far different circumstances.
Opinion: I think that The US is losing its drive to get the job done.
E-mail: Why do you think so? Is it something that should include the international community? Do we need to look at the roles that the int. community played in our civil war to see what we can justify thru PR to the citizens of our country?
Response: That one is a tough one to answer also and keep it brief. Lets give it a try.
The Iraq war has and is full of twists turns, and failures. There are also many things that have and are continuing to go well. With out getting into the sticks about this one, all in all the war is "behind schedual" We have not met all of the deadlines that we wanted to meet at the appointed times. Well as a whole it seems that America(at least all the loud ones) are saying that we should leave. Well they are saying this when the going was getting tough and we did not seem to be making any headway. If your boss tells you to do something and have it done by Friday, and you do not do you then not do it? Of course not! you do what you gotta do to get the job done and soon. Well that is what we are doing. We are trying to get the job done, and we ware trying to get it done yesterday. there are setbacks, but jsut because we do not acheive our goals that does not mean that we should quit! We should continue on and make it right.
I feel that I am going to drift off of this one. Let mill over how to word this one better and I will get back to everyone on that one.
Opinion: I think that the General is a great man and that anyone that attacks him personally is a cold gutless individual, and that his honor has no reason to be questioned and that it is a great insult to do so.
E-mail: I see your point, but no one is perfect. I am sure that he has made mistakes, even into policy at large. If you can't take criticism then I don't think you belong in positions of power or in the public eye. That is everyone from the General to the President to Britney Spears.
response: Today the President of the United States said something in his press speech. "It is one thing to attack me." We all know that people of power will be attacked when they say things. My comment was in direct response to the Moveon.org ad that was run. It was as the President said "disgusting". That attack was personal plain and simple. It was an attack on the mans charachter, and also on our Military.
I wish that there were more people that would have said anything about the Ad that was run. However there was not much nor enough said, till today. I feel that our President put it all out there and it was the honest truth. I think that he sees that clearly how it really is. If you all search your heart you will know that what they did was wrong, and should not have been done. There are lines that should not be crossed, and that line was crossed by Moveon.org.
It is ok to not like what someone says? Heck yea it is. I am doing it right now. But if you must disagree do it with class. Not like they did. We are all on the same side here. We are all Americans. That is all I would liek to say about this about the current moment.
---------------------------
Well there are 4 more to respondo to and I am sick of typing so I will post those later.
Ask yourself, Is it really about the war? Is it really personal what was done? Is it really. . . .you fill in the rest and ask yourself.
Be safe all and God Bless.
"How are you today?" the man asks, and the happy man replies "Better than I deserve!!"

My 60 Opinions
I am going to do something that I have needed to do for a while but have not had the stones to do so. Well I am going to do it now. I am going to tell everyone where I stand on different issues.
There will be a couple of things that will not make it up here cause that means that I have a podcast in the plans to cover it.
Well here they are, feel free to comment but I am not looking to have them changed, most of them have plenty of info that is leading me to my opinions but I don't want to put them all here. Some of them will make people think differently about me, and might also cause people to no talk with me about some topics, that is ok with me. So with out further delay here they are.
Well there are some things that I wanted to take stand on as a person. These are all my opinions, and I have no problems with anyone that has different ones. I wish that we can all get along and I want to be friends with all. I wan to be a kind person, but I have allowed that to allow me to be stepped on too much. So if you think differently about me cause of this list I am sorry and I hope that we can be friends and know that I will try to be yours even if you do not want to be mine.
so ask yourself, do you know where you stand? Are you ok with where you stand? Do you really know what you're talking about? Are you OK with the fact that I and many others are different than you? I am. That is what makes this world a great place.
Live everyday to the max and always remember that it is a great day to be alive. We are all very luck to be alive and I am proud to be an American, and I will stand by America no matter what.
God bless all.

- Yes I am a Mormon
- I am doing it because I like his policies and religion has nothing to do with it.

- I hate Dyslexia
- Socialized Health Care is a bad idea no matter what
- There is a problem with our health care

- Man and Woman should not live together.(unless family or married)
- Judging others by their beliefs is wrong.
- Let me clear that one up. not liking someone cause they feel different about things than you is wrong. You should be friends with all people, and the fact that you do not like Gays, and yet someone else does, does not mean that you should not like them
- Dating is way to complicated at times
- There are too many people in this world that do not think.

- There is nothing wrong with a woman working when there are no kids in the house.
- yes there is a flip side to that one.
- Too many people in the US don't know how to keep commitments and you can see this in marriages.
- Marriage is the number one cause for divorce. When we say I do we mean that I will try, when we say I will mean I will give it a test shot and if not then I will give it up.
- That is not a slap in the face to anyone that has been divorced it is just reality.
- Men should open doors for Women.
- It is Rude to smoke in public. It was clean air first and non-smokers outnumber smokers so we win.
- I mean come on smoking sections are like peeing sections in swimming pools.

Fly your flag with pride.
I was driving today out to Reston to my favorite establishment. The Buffalo Wing Factory man they got good food, but anyway back to what I was saying. I have XM radio and I was surfing like three different talk show radio channels, and I came across the Factor on Fox News Radio and I heard a news story unlike anything that I have heard on the news. There are people apparently that do not want to fly the American flag. For various reasons, none of which that sound very good, but they do indeed.
So you gotta ask yourself? Do you fly the flag? Do take pride in the flag? People were calling in to voice their opinion on why they don’t fly the flag. One man said that It is just a pointless symbol and it is better to be informed than to fly the flag. Ummmm ok yea that does not make sense to me. I see his logic (if you can call it that) but I don’t agree. The flag is a symbol yes, but it seems that people are forgetting what that means. I will get to that in a sec. first I want to say one more reason why people don’t want to fly the flag with pride.
People say that if they fly the flag or wear a lapel pin or anything like that, that they are agreeing with the current policy, and things that are happening in the country, that they are taking a stand. Well yea you are, a stand FOR AMERICA! You know that great country that we live in that allows us to say what we want. That allows us to have freedoms that many around the world can only dream of. We live in one of the greatest nations in the world. Sure we have things that we can improve on. What country does not? There are times when we don’t agree with what is going on, but the flag is a symbol of our freedoms, and the price that was paid to have all 50 wonderful states. (Even if some of them are kind of flat and dull) and not the current presidents policy on immigration, or foreign policy.
There are other aspects of this, and some of them I really don’t want to get into here. But they varied from Slavery, to the war in Iraq, to taxes. All I gotta say is the flag is a symbol of our great nation. When things are tough we should fly it proudly.
I leave you now with a picture that I took, and a quote about the flag that I really like. but before you look at it as yourself a question. Is it really just a flag? Or is it something more?

Faith and our goals
Welcome back to the world of is it really? What shall we talk about today? Well you are in luck I already know what I am going to talk about so you will not need to rack your brain to help me on this matter. Now I feel the need to warn any of you that I am going to be talking about religion. So if this is going to bother you then don’t read it. But I think that most of the people that are reading this are going to be just fine with it.
I received an e-mail today that sparked this whole thing. I will copy and paste bits and pieces from it. The following is an exerpt from the e-mail that I shall give some commentary to.
“A few thoughts about faith. To me faith is the principle of all our actions or ininactions that we take day to day. It is when we lose faith that life is such a struggle. Despite what challenges we have before us, if we have faith, we will know that all will be OK, in time.
There is a saying in the scriptures that is something like, faith without works is dead. To me faith without a goal is waste. If we do not have strong goals then we do not to exercise faith and we do not do our part which is to think through and determine what we want and then have faith that we will have our goals manifested in our lives.”
Ok so I find this to be a great two paragraphs about faith and what not. The first one really sums up why we have problems when we try to take care of our future. We lose faith that it will all work out in the end. We forget that there is someone out there looking out for us and has our best interests at heart.
We all have problems and we all have things that get in the way of our goals. No one is immune to this fact. Does this thought make us feel any better when life is . . . well not going how we would like it to? Of course not, but at least for me it is nice to know that others know what I am going through, just the names and faces have changed.
So now on to the second paragraph with really compliments the first one quite nicely. The goal. We often are bummed about how life is going, but we really don’t know where it is we want to go. We know that we want to be happy, but we don’t know where we really want to be. If you have no goal or heading your odds of getting happiness is reduced. Sure people just happen upon something that makes them happy, but that is not the norm. A ship with no heading or destination does nothing but roam the sea.
You gotta of course have a goal. That is that hard part that we all have to deal with. Choosing what it is that we want. Sure it is ok if it changes from time to time. But it helps to have something to work for. But I am not going to talk about that aspect right now.
In this e-mail there is a fantastic quote, and it is as follows “Faith isn’t faith until it’s all you’re holding on to.” The person who said that is unknown. But it is a true concept. That is really when we find out what we are made of. When we have nothing else to hold on to. When you have no one to turn to on this earth that is when you grow the most, and when you grow your relationship with God. It is amazing how people can forget him when things are going good, but when things are going wrong most people are quick to call him again. The entire thing about how there is never an atheist in a foxhole is true. You have no one else to turn to for help when your there. And I am sure that when a lot of us are in our figurative foxholes in life we remember God and how he can help us.
So now that I am off of that soap box I can talk about the last thing in the e-mail. It is about blocking our dreams from us. “You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith." - Mary Manin Morrissey
That is so true. When we allow the task of getting there become to daunting then we will never get it. Don’t let it scare you, go for it, and move forward one day at a time. School for example. It is a really long thing. If you think about that all the time then it is going to be hard to keep the focus. But when you know where you are going to be, and you don’t get caught up in the nitty gritty it helps a lot. Keep the big picture in mind.
Well I think that I am growing tired of typing now so I am going to stop now. Should you want the rest of the e-mail let me know and I can send it to ya.
So is it really about Faith? Is it really what makes a difference in getting your goal or becoming happy?

You gotta of course have a goal. That is that hard part that we all have to deal with. Choosing what it is that we want. Sure it is ok if it changes from time to time. But it helps to have something to work for. But I am not going to talk about that aspect right now.
In this e-mail there is a fantastic quote, and it is as follows “Faith isn’t faith until it’s all you’re holding on to.” The person who said that is unknown. But it is a true concept. That is really when we find out what we are made of. When we have nothing else to hold on to. When you have no one to turn to on this earth that is when you grow the most, and when you grow your relationship with God. It is amazing how people can forget him when things are going good, but when things are going wrong most people are quick to call him again. The entire thing about how there is never an atheist in a foxhole is true. You have no one else to turn to for help when your there. And I am sure that when a lot of us are in our figurative foxholes in life we remember God and how he can help us.
So now that I am off of that soap box I can talk about the last thing in the e-mail. It is about blocking our dreams from us. “You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith." - Mary Manin Morrissey
That is so true. When we allow the task of getting there become to daunting then we will never get it. Don’t let it scare you, go for it, and move forward one day at a time. School for example. It is a really long thing. If you think about that all the time then it is going to be hard to keep the focus. But when you know where you are going to be, and you don’t get caught up in the nitty gritty it helps a lot. Keep the big picture in mind.
Well I think that I am growing tired of typing now so I am going to stop now. Should you want the rest of the e-mail let me know and I can send it to ya.
So is it really about Faith? Is it really what makes a difference in getting your goal or becoming happy?

The jobs that we do.
There is something things that we all must do. We all must breathe for example. We all must beat our heart. Of course those are very fundamental things that we all must do. However even though we do them, we do them in different ways. Some are more diligent is making it happen or not. I am not going to talk about how we all breathe differently but I was just trying to paint a pic that even with the most basic of things we still perform them differently.
The aspect that I am going to talk about at this time is working. Some of us have a Job. Others perhaps have a Career. Within each of those we all have a different mentality about how we view it. Some of us are just there to make a paycheck, and others are there to get the job done because it is not about the money, and everything in between.
So what are you doing where you work? Are you just there to get your paycheck? Are you just like every other person in your place of work? Or do you come to work and try to learn more, and become the best at what you do?
I have had the wonderful opportunity of being a “boss”. With that came firing and hiring people. I had to choose when to give people a promotion, or when they needed a raise. With doing this I have seen lots and lots of different kinds of people come to work for me. I work in the cleaning industry and the bulk of those people that I had under me were cleaners. At various level of course with in the cleaning field. Some were just hourly cleaners and other were supervisors of an account. There were others that did not clean at all, but performed some other task that I would need done. No matter what the job there was certain qualities that I saw made a great employee.
Some were there and took great pride in what they do. They came to work and worked hard, and got their job done, and went above and beyond the scope of what they had to do. There were others that had a more prestigious job position, and they just “did their job”. Are they a bad person or worker for this? Well no of course not they just have a different mentality about their job than the other person does. So who would get more opportunities to grow and become more successful? Well the first one of course. A person that works like that is going to learn, grow, and become better at what they do no matter what I do. I can give the other person more opportunities to grow that they are still going to do “just a job”.
So what is the point that I am trying to get across to you blog people? Well I don’t know if there is much of one other than what I asked. Do you just do your job, or do you do more? Do you take pride in whatever it is that you may do? It is not the job that you do that matters in the great scheme of things, but rather it is how you do the job that really matters. I guess this could be a pep talk that you might get from an employer that wants to get a little more out of you. Tell them that they can thank me and send me money if they would like. I know that when I work hard, and get better at anything, no matter how unimportant people may think that it is. I feel good about myself. I feel like I got something done.
Is it really how you do the job that matters? It is really that big of a deal if I want to just make a paycheck? I guess in your life you will see and find out for yourself.
