Joe the Plumber

I don't particularly like ants but there is something to admire in these small creatures! They are very hard workers and work tirelessly to ensure that the colony survives.

I listened to the debate last night a rebroadcast on sirius radio and finally got to watch it on the internet. 

The buzzword is "Joe the plumber". I have been raised all my life with the belief that if you work hard and are successful you can be anything you want to be. Anything is possible. I would hope that none of this changes. Take a look at what Joe has to say. His words ring true. Don't just vote for someone because someone else tells you too or because what the person running for office is telling you! Look at their actions. Actions speak louder than words and all politicians make promises they never keep!! Keep America Strong!

A Bugs Life

Sometimes I think life would be a lot more simple if I was a bug!!!

The economy in a downfall 

doesn't affect them. Actually it might even be better for them 'cause we won't be able to afford bug spray!

If you missed the debate last night! Here it is. 

Don't forget to vote on November the 4th. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for but please look at the records of each candidate and don't vote for who sounds better but who is better for the country!!!

Where Does Everyone Go???

I have been looking at classmates.com for a while. I really don't know where to start. It has been nearly 20 years since I graduated from high school. I have moved around all my life and only attended 3 years at my high school. Looking back I think this was almost a record for the longest time at one place. I spent my 1rst through 3rd grade at one elementary school and then we moved into a different school district in the county I use to live in then I went 4th to 5th grade in different elementary school. 6th grade was at yet another school in the same county. Thank goodness the county had a consolidated junior high/high school but the reunion with old friends from other schools was short lived as my parents split up and my mom,brother,sister and I moved to another town. I only went half of rest of my year in 7th grade and then we moved again! Just as thing seemed to be settling down we moved again. I spent my 9th grade year in completely different high school and then we moved back to the county that my grandparents live in. Well 3 years at the same high school and then off to college. Two years at a small community college and then into the real world. 17 years now I have been at work and living in the same county for more than all my life growing up. I missed my 10 year high school graduation anniversary and I'll probably not get to go to my 20th either as my work schedule probably will conflict with it. Well enough rambling.

I drew this picture and posted it on my deviant art account. I know it is a little rough but perhaps I'll clean it up a little later on. 

The title is :        Where Do They All Go?

Werewolves of London

Kid Rocks new song "All Summer Long". I finally realized why I like it. Warren Zevon's song......"Werewolves of London" and Lynard Skynard's Sweet Home Alabama remix of two classic rock songs and make it a Country hit! If you don't believe me click on my playlist and listen for yourself!

Where Does the Day Go?

It seems like just yesterday I was arriving home after the recent storm and now I'm gone again.I'm gone back to work away from those I love and miss! Time is so precious especially to those who have very little of it! I wish my life would/could just slow down sometimes and I could savour every single minute. It seems the older I get that there just isn't enough hours in the day and days in the week.

I'm not much of a blogger. I do better by letting my pictures speak for me!:)

I have several accounts with some of my artwork on them.

Hurricane Ike

We just came through a really bad storm a week ago. Gustav! It looks like we dodged the bullet on this newest monster!

Hurricane Ike will be making landfall soon on the coast of Texas! Please keep all those people in your prayers. This is a picture I digitally painted of the storm earlier today after watching the news!

The Clone Wars

My Wife took me to see the new Star Wars movie last week-The Clone Wars with my son! I loved the movie but more I loved spending time with my family. It was not exactly the Star Wars movie I was expecting but it was great and hope to Tivo some of the coming episodes from Cartoon Network!If you don't know it by now I'm a huge fan of Star Wars. I really love the original trilogy.

This picture is of Whorm Loathsome General of the clone army that I painted digitally with my wacom tablet. I've got a lot of my artwork on my Deviant Art site!:)
