Sunny Days and Dentists
Today being a gorgeous sunny day brings about a strong desire for spring to be here soon. I'm sure we'll have a few more freezing days...but until then I'm going to soak up this sunshine! Had to go to the dentist today...was afraid he was going to tell me I had cavaties but he said I had none....havn't been to the dentist in like 5 years....so that was a relief! All in all...it was a beautiful day today. I've also noticed that xanga usage has dropped dramatically...it seems facebook has taken over. Whatever works I guess...

Bank Of America
Has recently made it easier for non-citizens of the not registered kind (illegal aliens or whatever term you prefer to use) to acquire credit cards. The way they can do this is by opening a checking account/savings account and having it for 3 weeks and then they can apply for a credit card with out a social security number. That's the basic idea anyways...I don't know all the exact details....
Here is one serious problem with the whole situation....how did the terrorists take flying lessons, buy lessons, and do everything else they had to do to carry out their plans? With money...Well a non-registered credit card makes it a whole lot easier for individuals to come into the country under the radar and gain quicker and larger purchasing power with out even having to bother with getting a fake id....The other side of it is that if a terrorist does charge 5,000 on supplies...and then blows himself up or something else up. He obviously doesn't have to pay it back because he'll be dead or he'll be in jail. Who absorbs the fraudulent charges? Essentially...American citizens who pay money to the corporations that insure the company. Anyways...just kind of an interesting situation that is way more complex than simple border crossing....
Then again...is any issue in life ever simple?
I don't really have strong opinions on the situation one way or another....I'm just passing through this world...I know if I lived in Mexico in a poverty situation...I would probably trying to be able to find a way to cross the border myself. Does that make it right? No...but it's real. When I did get here I would probably be trying to get an account with Bank Of America so I could have a more normal life like everyone else in America. As an American...I am cancelling my credit card with Bank of America like many people are doing. Anyways I thought I would just post some current news issue for all those who don't watch the news

Have a great day!

Busy Life
Life has been pretty busy lately...just working...working...and working...and work has been busy too. So...I'm going to attempt to get back in to Xanga...but we shall see. A lot of nights it seems like I'm spending the whole time writing up reports and such. Ah well...life goes on. It is a growing and learning experience to balance all of our various interests and friendships in life...and then learn to deal with bumps in the road too....
Either way...I have a blessed life...
I have a job...
I live in a free country...
I have friends...
Above everything else, I was born in to a Christian household and I know Christ!
Truly...I have a blessed life!!!
