So inspiring....

I'm sitting here watching "The Big Idea" and each story that comes up on the show... truly inspires me. I'm so confused right now in life because i have so many options!!! It's not a terrible problem to have... unless you're the one with the problem. I can go do the music thing (really.. i CAN sing) - chase down american idol next season. I could go ahead and go to school... i don't know.. ITT tech or something.. get myself some certifications, start my one man Geek Squad operation and slowly work that baby into a franchise with my own 2 hands. I could start up some of these websites i keep getting these ideas for just about everyday. I've started a little black book of ideas, and i'm putting something in it just about everyday. I've got a couple people looking at me like "hey.. tell me your idea.. i'll sign the check for however much i can spare.. git er done". I'd like to be a millionaire. I'd like to be comfortable. I'd like to be secure... but i'm so scared of tripping over myself. AAAARGH. What's the next step here? I'm not GREAT at anything in particular (except singing)... but i'm GOOD at plenty. In a few years... or mayber just a year... we'll see where i'm at....

Christians & The war & President Bush & The war...

so i'm cruising today through some of the other blogs on this site and i come to one with an interesting article about how Christians today blindly support the war, Bush, and plainly... murder for a Holy cause. When i think about how I personally feel about the war, most of the time, i don't tie God to it's cause, or it's continuance. Do i support the war? That's a long answer.. but in short.. YES. Why? got a minute? pull up a chair.

I can only speak on what i know. During talks like this people always go into conspiracy theories about Bush protecting oil lines, or struggles to stay in power or what have you. But i tend to go with the obvious, as they say.. "the simplest answer, is mostly the right answer". Do i believe he lied to get congress to approve the war? Well.. the fact of the matter is.. this all started (as far as i know) from reports of weapons of mass destruction being produced in Iraq... good excuse to man up to me. However... no weapons were found. Now... we're at war to prevent terrorist attacks, help build a diplomatic community, and stamp out terrorism in general.. ok.. cool with me. It's VERY unfortunate that people have to die for things like this. It just plain SUCKS. My heart goes out to the families of those who lost loved ones, my prayers are with you.

To keep from saying something that might invite an attack from Rosie Oddonnell.. i'll stop there and change gears for a second. I also think that we've been there FAR too long. It's time for American troops to wrap it up and come home. I'm lucky enough not to have lost anyone i'm dear to that i know of so far... but things can change rather quickly. But i wouldn't be surprised to find out later "oh.. you remember so and so from such and such? yeah.. they were killed in an ambush..." or "they went down in that helicoptor crash...". Crazy eh?

Bottom line though.. i DO support a tactic based on a strategic offense executed to prevent attacks on homeland soil.. i DO NOT support a tactic that continues to fumble the ball and put human lives in danger longer than necessary. This war happens to fall in both camps.

Anyways... how about that article i was talkin about eh? the link below
