The Secrets to my Success!

I'm not good at a lot of things but one thing I am good at is buying stuff. Sometimes I buy too many things, but no one can ever say that I am not an admirer of the "art of war" when it comes to purchasing. So much in fact that I don't really see why I don't just give up the day job and do this for a living. But we're not here to talk about me, lets get on with the real reason I am here today ladies and gentlemen. You and your money! Now if you would please input your credit card information below you will receive the advice of a life time for the great low price of $99.95. This is a limited time offer folks and yes we can easily break that down into three easy payments of $39.95.  Ha! I got you....  Now moving on. I've recently made a string of car purchase over the last couple of years and done quite well for myself and most recently my Mother. And if there is anything I learned it is these tips I am about to share with you: 1. Know your bottom line, and...

      The other day I sat down my iPhone while at work. I walked away not realizing that would be the last time I’d see it. Someone picked it up then walked away and who knows where it is now. I tried tracking it and going through the motions but it wasn’t going to resurface. Granted I also don’t have the patience to wait a week to try and find it. But after it was all said and done the Sprint guy did me a solid and it set me back a couple bucks but, I guess that’s what I get for not being cautious…. or is it.        It really bothered me and of course I threw a fit and shook my fist and what not. I will say though I am grateful for Apple’s ingenious technology and the fact that my phone backed itself up on icloud so I never missed a beat. But now looking back I can’t seem to put my finger on what bothered me most. Was it the fact that we live in a world where you can’t set your phone down on a table without someone taking it; or tha...

The world as we know it under attack. Our society is being convinced and being pushed towards and  into family warfare. Fathers are portrayed in sitcoms and movies as losers. Commercials and magazines try to convince men that they need to constantly chase the the American dream and be rich and foolish. That a man's man is a guy who drinks beer and watches football on Sunday instead of going to church and and leading his family. Marriage is being attacked as well and woman are being decieved into thinking they don't need a man to have kids and two mommies can be just as good if not better or even as far as just not being a mommy at all. The face of a traditional family is no longer, Al Bundy and Homer Simpson are the "new" dad. But the science and the statistics will not lie. Crime, abortion, teen pregnancy, suicide, and gangs can be traced back to absentee fathers or men who choose to be less than willing to be good fathers and put their familes first. It's a real...

What makes us unique? Do we choose to be different or did God make us this way for a reason? I think we are all crazy in our own little way, sometimes we let it eat at us and we get lost in the crazy. I have a multitude of things that make me just shy of a shining novel. How about a glimpse into my head: I absolutely positive must know the who, what, when, where, and why before doing anything! I plan,plan, plan....but hardly ever really execute as planned maybe 60/40. I admire my personal space and have a big thing about people standing too close. I also have a little problem with doing everything myself. As my wife can attest it doesn't really matter if she does it exactly the way I like, it has to be done with my own hands or it gets weird. I have to have things in the same place all the time, like the things in my pocket, my phone, my debit card, you know the usual right? And my lunch box has to be assembled the same everyday, and put into the same spot in car, desk etc. I reall...

My wife and I recently started a LOST marathon and I’m determined to make it through all the seasons (again). Why is LOST the only show to ever intrigue me to watch in its entirety and be so deeply moved by the story ? Each week for every season I patiently awaited the newest episode and its jaw dropping twist and turns. But why? Why do I love this show so much? Funny you should ask: Well not too many shows now a days or even in the past cut deep into your soul like LOST does. A lot of people think it was just another funky Science fiction show . No, no, no LOST is much more than that. It’s a story line about a plane full of people looking for a new life and needing something, needing a fresh start. It’s about fate and redemption, it’s about heroes and people finding out whom they really are when things get tough. We’ve all been in this boat (or island); we’ve all flown on Oceanic flight 815. There will be a point in your life when you wish you could press t...

It takes a certain kind of person to join a Service industry that could cost you everything. There is something that is just instilled inside of you that you can’t walk away from. Some guys do it to be macho and so forth and some women do it to prove they are just as good as a man. But no matter what the reason, they do because there is a certain kind of unselfish nature inside of them. They fear just like us, they have nightmares just like us and they want to live forever just like us. But these service people have a God given quality deep inside them that just tells them to run TOWARD the gunfire and not away , TOWARD the fire and TOWARD the crime and TOWARD the car wreck or sinking boat and fallen building. Truth be told, I read in a book recently that describe them as borderline Sociopaths, and just a little bit nutty.  But I don’t think it’s the thrill junkie inside that drives them, it’s the thrill junkie inside that pushes them. What drives them is the...

Man it's been awhile since I've written you folks. But one thing inspired me recently to express myself again. Since being back in Dallas it's almost impossible to notice all the "male dominated" places to go around town. There's strip clubs and skimpy clad restaurants every 1/4 mile. Now I'm no different than any man, but that being said I have four girls. It breaks my heart to think of all these women working in these places. Yeah ok so they may not mind, the guys surely don't care and you can give me all that liberal hogwash all day. But one thing is for sure, not many of these girls choose this life over a professional career. Woman has always been looked at by men and ogled etc. But shouldn't we want our woman, our wives, our daughters, to know that they Re more than just a pretty face? Don't we want them to know that they are valued, loved and respected? So I'm sure to most guys I'm committing cardinal man code and here. But gue...
