We're screwed...

1/20/2009... the beginning of an error.

Today

Today was a great day.

My wife took the oath of allegiance with 204 other people from 58 countries aside from the Philippines (it was a moving experience to see). I was proud of my wife, and the others who chose to come here the legal way. We went to our favorite Japanese restaurant, Ai, to celebrate.

I am still amazed that people want to just hand citizenship to some, but had my wife or I had to go on welfare in the first three years she was here she would have been deported... Come here the right way and I have no problem with it. Disregard our laws, and sorry you are here illegally and we have a right to send you packing.

It is hard to top that, but something did. I saw the ultrasound pictures of my daughter. Due in May, this healthy little girl is bound to turn my world upside down, and I am looking forward to it.

It is too bad that it looks like BHO is going to be bad for the most vulnerable among us. Overturning the Mexico City Policy and sending our tax dollars over seas to fund abortions just sickens me. Should abortion be legal... No, but that is something states should be allowed to decide, not handled at the federal level... 1/20/2009... the beginning of an error.

Been a While

So a lot has happened personally since my last post. I hope that I can at least update this blog once a week. I hope to eventually get back to daily postings, but for now, with all that I am doing, once a week will have to suffice.

Since my last posting a lot has changed in my life:

My wife and I lost child number 3 to a miscarriage. We lost number 1 (Linus) to a miscarriage a few years back, then had Mikey. Now we have lost another to miscarriage (we have not named him or her yet), but remember that whirlwind trip to San Francisco and Northern Arizona we took in August? Well looks like that is when we conceived "Pinetop" (he/she is due in May).

Also, on the advice of some liberal friends of mine I switched majors to Political Science. They say that when I talk about things political I light up. Whether they agree with me or not they at least want to go and dig into things deeper. After the ass drubbing Conservatism took in the election cycle and a lot of reflection and prayer I decided I like political discussion and commentary a lot more than Calculus.

One of the consequences of the election of a typical tax and spend uberlib is that charitable donations go down. So much money is taken out of the pockets of individuals by the government by force, that they can no longer give what they want to charities by choice. My position at the Church is being cut, and post me it may be altogether eliminated. Sad, but unfortunately true. As a result, I had to find another job.

I found that Wal-Mart is not just a place that ticks off liberals, but it is an amazing place to work. I picked up a full time job pushing carts since my donation based salary at the Church is going to be cut, if not outright eliminated. They offer some amazing benefits that our growing family can use and they are not unionized (although if Obama and the libs get their way via card check, it might be).

Ah well... 2009 should be an interesting year. I hope I am wrong, but I project the following:

• Despite the hopeychangey talk, our new POTUS will be more of the same, as evidenced by his cabinet choices so far (Clinton 3.0)
• 52% of Americans will have succeeded in taking away 100% of the populations liberty, but they may realize that despite new people being in charge, socialism will still fail.
• People will long for a return to the good old days under President Bush.
• In 2012, President (fill in name of Conservative) will commute President Obama's sentence to time served (the only person in history to be surrounded by as much corruption and slime and come out unblemished is Christ, and hopefully we realize Obama is not Christ).
• The US will still be the greatest country on Earth, despite Reid, Pelosi and Obama's best efforts to turn us into the French (okay, so I hope I am right about this one).

I predict outrage and protest from my liberal readers in 4...3...2..

Prayers,

Pisio

The Guardian

Did you protest when assigned those years ago,
Pure spirit, my choices surely you’d know,
What a hassle it would be as you would ride,
All those years restless, steadfast by my side.

Who am I to receive you, most loyal of friends,
The ups and downs, never consistent trends,
Your whispers I heard in my quiet ears,
Most times your reason could qualm all my fears.

Sometimes I forgot your sound advice to heed,
Forgetting my Faith, forsaking my creed,
Your back on me you never turned,
Loyal and true even though you were spurned.

I love you my friend, my steadfast guide,
Guardian, protector, please no more hide,
Show me your face so that I may know,
The angel that watches, the one called Pisio...

Blah

I can not wait for July to be over with. It is a hard month anyway because it is that time of year we get to remember my father and his untimely passing two years ago. This month though, this year it has been even rougher than last year. Three people I know have passed away after losing their battles with cancer and a young man I knew from Maui died tragically in a car accident on the 4th of July. There was a murder suicide in St. Louis across the street from my aunts house, co-workers are leaving and overall I have little or know energy... Thank goodness after next week, I have two weeks with nothing to distract me but my wife and son...

Prayers...
