Segregation and Obligation
I was thinking about something today. Do each one of have some form of obligation to dispose of segregation in our lives. Segregation is defined as "Racial segregation is the separation of humans into racial groups in daily life" By wiki...I for one struggle with this. I have many friends who are of different backgrounds. Do I take part in the every day world of segregation on what I do in my life.
I thought about this in church today. I went to Sunday school with out a single thought about how I play into the views I have of people. During class I a thought came to me that I may be further away from unconditional love then I wanted to be. I do honestly love all races of life but not certain people. Does this mean I am segregating certain people. I have decided that I am not but I have a different way of dealing with certain people.
The obligation for all of us to give people a chance in this world is dependent on the way we are treated by others. God doesn't want us to hate or hurt others because of where they came from. However, its up to each of us to break away from the very steps that lead us down the roads where we are not successful and live off others and take advantage of people and government. This leads to the anger that I have for certain people. Below are things that I can not stand to look at or be a part of and this makes me feel certain ways about people. Although it may seem as I am talking about a certain race here, many races fit these guidelines.
*People who use others but never want to gain success from their knowledge
*People who use drugs in a reckless manor and complain their life sucks
*People who make excuses for their excuses and knowingly do it because their to lazy to change
*People who wear their pants down to the but cheeks and things its in style
*People who make a lot of money and steal things (regardless of the items)
*People who judge others then turn around and are the same as those they judged
*People who think GHETTO should be the new American Language
*People who are in America and steal our identity's and get jobs and medical insurance
*People who are not accountable for their own actions and blame others for everything
*People who are not considerate of others
*People who park their cars in their front lawns when the laws state they cant do it
*People who try and bring you down because they are not educated to make their lives better
*People who knowingly cheat others and think they are owed the world.
Where I work, its stressful. People cant even say the word ASK..It comes out "AKSD".. last time I checked it was "ASKED". When I asked how long and you say its been a minute..I will look at my watch and see how long a minute was. If your saying a minute means a few days, weeks, or months ago, your an idiot... Last time I checked it was illegal to be in America with out proper identification, and if you were caught you were sent home. Why should you have the right to stay here and take my medical insurance and my friends jobless benefits under someones social that they stole. Last time I checked I should be able to say the word "NO" with out someone saying its being a racial thing. Now there are times it is, but it doesn't mean that I don't like African Americans, Mexicans, or Asians. I am a very technical, analytical, and blunt individual. I am told that I need to watch what I say and how I say it..
What needs to happen is that people need to take responsibility for themselves and how they put their selves in society and draw attention to them selves. So when I correct you for saying ASKD when its ASKED or when I ask you to pull up your pants it doesn't mean I am being rude. It just means that I am American and I am following the footsteps of my forefathers. I am not obligated to be nice to everyone, I am polite about it, respect me as well. If you get rude to me, believe me. I will be the hell you didn't think you would see until you died.

Why are we so quick to be reckless
I know that I have disowned my readers for a long time now. I broke a promise that I would write more often, only to write even less then I did before. I must say being reckless is no way to live our lives. I for one should know as I have gone about my life just blowing past people, and not giving a damn about what people think about me or say about me. I am. and will always be the same person I am inside, just my outside has become a waste. I am reckless with my looks. I am going to get back to being the stud that I was when I met Tracy. I was pretty damn good looking. I was about 75 lbs less then I am now. Tracy prefers me to weigh more, I think its because it makes her feel better as well. I must say that not only am I reckless about my weight, I am also reckless about thoughts. Why should I give a damn though. People are always wanting others to be so nice, and caring, and selfless, but then they themselves are real jerks. I continue to watch people be fake, and then turn around and show their real sides when they don't realize others are watching.
I am at a point in my life, where I am to old for childish games and behaviors from adults. We all want the best in our lives, the greatest of friends, and to meet every goal we make. Then there are those who try and get in the way of our dreams and want to continue to make us feel that we are not worthy of the prize in the end. To them I flick my thumbnail off my buck teeth with conviction. (I was taught it means something very very bad) and I am a firm believer in sharing my opinion when it really matters. I had a birthday over a month ago. I turned 36. I had certain people in my life for it and that's all that really matters to me. We have great friends who would do anything for our family and same for them. What more is there to ask for. I'm sure there is "A LOT" more but to be honest good friends are something that make people feel content in their lives and not feel like we are missing out.
I applied to Grad school and I applied to 3 schools. Why only 3, its because all the others I wanted to apply to, I was missing a year of Biology classes. I am taking Biology 1 now and will be taking Micro or Biology 2 in the fall. Unless UNT calls me and wants me to be in their program, and at this point its not looking to good. I have not gotten my reject in the mail yet, but I know its coming. Hell, they are not even accredited yet so why should it matter to me if I get in there or not. Oh yeah.. that's right.. its because it is a grad school. As I sit here and shake my head with disbelief that I have not been offered one single interview yet with the education credentials I have amazes me.
Knowing where we will be at in the next 5 months is not something I can tell as of yet. However in the next 30 days or so, I will surely find out. I am guessing it will be right were we are now. Although I am content with where we live, I am "NOT" content with my job. IT SUCKS... I will get into that more later. It will give me more to rant about. Until then, just know that I love you all, "even those who I have to scratch my arm for and not all of you are bad people. Just most.."!!!!
Peace, Love, and Gods will to all of you...

Oh Jeff fa fa, me with out you suck ka ka
One of my favorite people of all time is Jeff Dunham. I have watched many of his shows and have them saved on my DVR. I had an opportunity to go with Tracy for our Anniversary to Austin TX to watch him live. I got 4th row tickets center stage.. It was the funnest thing that Tracy and I did.. I was in tears laughing so hard I almost crapped my pants.. The opening was this really cool dude.. Guitar Guy \ Brian Haner. He is in Jeffs Act every once in a while. He opened up and had some great songs. Of them is a song he wrote called "ARIZONA". Its about illegal immigration. He also did one about NO MO OBAMA in 2012 and I wish he would post it so I can get it off I tunes. The show was a huge success as I am sure all of the shows are. They will be in Odessa July 30th, and I would love to drive there and go to that show. Hmm I am trying to find a way to work it out..
Anyway. If any of you have not heard of Brian Haner or Jeff Dunham I encourage you to youtube them and enjoy it..

The "One Sided" Wants of life
So have you ever been faced with wanting something but in return you not willing to give back. Sometimes its easy to dismiss the little things over the big things when wanting things but when your asked to give back in return its never a unselfishly returned. I have recently encountered situations in life where people want things from me but are not willing to give in return. I do not care how big or little the wants are, it just so happens to be that its "ONE SIDED" You would think that of all people in our lives that our own family would be willing to help out when one needs it.
How about in times where you know that people are just careless with their money, need things done in their lives, but choose not to do it because its not as important to them as playing around in life.. Then when times get hard they come asking for help because they cant afford to do the things that should have been done in the first place. I have experienced this a lot with many family members. I believe its time to put people in place and tell them " You figure out whats more important and fix it ".
I do believe that its different when the helping hand is given to those who work hard and do not ask for it because they struggle to make it because the important things in life come first to them and after all said and done, cant afford fix something, so its offered to help them because the love inside of us knows they are humble people. However its not OK to be the lending hand when one uses their money foolishly. I have been used and bruised because people don't value the understanding of smart decision making and put other things before the most important ones..
When others are not willing to help my family out on the most important times in our lives, but in return ask me for something, that is not logical, its selfish (Regardless of the issue), and need to think twice about asking me for something when your not willing to look at the big picture in life.
THESE PEOPLE WILL NEVER USE & BRUISE ME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

What "is" Family
We take time every day to look at people, but we never stop to wonder what makes them special. We have people in our lives every day from those we interact with at the local Starbucks to those we work with. We also have those we feel are important people in our lives. These people are friends, neighbors, and family members. How often do we consider our friends our family or family to be non family. If we are family are we honestly that close to one another or are we just saying that because it makes us feel good to be loved by someone.
Family's have bonds, from brother hood/ sister hood to husband and wife, from Father son, and Mother daughter. Is it ever OK to say that ones bond is less or more then another. If you knew that your sibling was struggling or green around the ears when it comes to life challenging decisions would you let them sink or continue to help be there for them and give them guidance. Better yet would be giving them guidance be breaking the rules that some may say that only a mother and a father should be giving advice on. Is it ever appropriate to feel that its OK to stand back and let our loved ones lose out on opportunities because better things come our way.
I know it depends on the situations and I am sure that people have mixed feelings. I just can not rationalize with someone saying that the bond of brother-hood is the same as someone being seen as a "STEP CHILD". Yes family can make stupid decisions, should we not be there for them to say HEY WTH were you thinking??? There is a time when you would feel people should grow up and control their emotions. Would it be fair to trash someones relationship because they play a role in ones life. Would you leave a family member behind knowing that they would be lonely, have no friends or family around, or would you invite them to bigger opportunities if it allowed.
I am 35yr educated and successful person, who loves my family very much. I have a bond with my children, wife, and family. I am not one who would leave anyone behind that is a family member just because others feel its not normal. I have a brother who lives here in Texas with me. No other family members here. I maybe going to Grad school with our with out my wife and kids, depending on the situation financially (which will be a decision made between my wife and I and none other. I would come home every break, Thx giving Xmas, Spring Break.. Etc... I have invited my brother to go with me(which I feel would help financially) but it has been said to me that I should go with out him. I was dumbfounded to hear that its not normal for brothers to look out for one another in the way I look out for him. My brother doesn't get the guidance the same from his mom and dad or other siblings as he does for me. Sure he could go live with other family or even stay here. I have talked to him and he said if I move he didn't want to stay in Texas by himself. So me thinking I am smart, felt financially he could help pay the rent since I will only be working part time. However it sparked controversy with another that I am not being a brother to him that I am being a father figure to him and to leave him behind and let him do what he is going to do. It made me sick and I honestly can not believe that someone is going to trash brother hood for my desire to tak him with me. I just do not understand why people feel the way they do and how that affects them personally if I was take him. Its not like it puts their life on hold, and its not like he is having to live with them if I go with out him.
Is it fair to be told I don't care about ones feelings because I do not see it the way they do. I look at the big picture here. I will look at it in such a way that my wife and "I" will be able to make it while we are apart from one another "IF THAT'S WHAT WE DO". We already know that financially it would be better for her to stay here and have her mom move in with her and the kids so she can keep her job which pays good money and has many perks.. If we went with the family, we now have daycare expense, she has to find a regular full time job which will make much less then she makes now because of the type of job she has, and rent would be much more for 4 then it would be for 2.
People work across the nation from one another and live separately to accomplish goals for short periods of time. Who is to say that we can't do it successfully. I love my wife and children more then life. However I also want to capitalize off the best situation as possible. I just know what family is and what it is not. Family doesn't turn its back on another regardless and Family is about helping everyone become better, whether it be work, friends, school, and or building upon our own relationships. I was raised different then others may have been and I just do not feel that its wrong to want a family member to go with me if my wife and kids are staying with mom-inlaw.

Recent Plans
So we have some recent plans that we made and I am so excited. We are going to take our family trip this year to go to the Utah vs BYU game over Thanksgiving weekend. We will be spending Thanksgiving with Stan & Debbie. Head to the game on Friday afternoon and come back Sunday morning. Head back home on Monday. This will break up our trip and we will get to see some good friends and family along the way.
Tracy and I are going to Austin June 26th and getting away to see Jeff Dunham. My favorite comedian who loves to play with puppets. I wonder if I will get to meet Bubba J. For some reason the dude make me laugh so hard that tears roll down my face.
I am almost done with my Motivational Psychology Class. This is the last week. WOOHOO.. Then I take off a week and then start A & P 1. I graduate July 10th in Arlington TX with my Bachelors Science of Business Management. Long over due I know but I usually wait until the last minute to get my goals going. I am starting to focus more on my Doctorate Degree. I am so pumped. Just a few more classes to go and I will be all done with my Pre-requisites. I will keep everyone posted as it gets closer.
