Arnold Schwarzenagger and Friends

Here’s the letter that Arnold Schwarzenegger sent to a California Assemblyman that’s causing some controversy for a ’secret’ message. (Read the first letter of every line and tell me what you think!)

To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1176 without my signature.

For some time now I have lamented the fact that major issues are overlooked while many
unnecessary bills come to me for consideration. Water reform, prison reform, and health
care are major issues my Administration has brought to the table, but the Legislature just
kicks the can down the alley.

Yet another legislative year has come and gone without the major reforms Californians
overwhelmingly deserve. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is
unnecessary to sign this measure at this time.

Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Just like San Diego

Today is one of those days here in Texas that we don't mind the weather. Actually it remindes me of when we lived in San Diego. On my Google home page I have both Austin weather and San Diego weather so I can view them both everyday. You see I miss my old home and the beautiful weather. The summers here in Texas can be quite brutal. So everyday when I turn on my computer I would miss it even more. I think that is some form of self torture. Exccept for days like today. When you see both forcast side by side.
The morning was on of those crisp cool ones with clear skys and fresh coffee. Well at my house anyway. We had a good run down at the lake and enjoyed Wahoo's for lunch. Hit the downtown Whole Foods and made it back for a quiet evening on the J bar J ranch.
We have a saying around here; If you don't like the weather just wait ten minutes and it will change. Well today is a day we want time to slow to a crawl.

What would I do?

Hey Peeps,
I'm not sure what I was going to write here. I just know I needed to start something. If anything this should help me learn to type better. Well I made it through that line with my fingers on the right keys. Enough of that.
I'm always saying to myself or my wife that I should write about this or that, and maybe it's time to start.
If I offend anyone with what I say please keep it to yourself. I'm just kidding. I would never tell any one that they are wrong for believing what they believe or that they need to believe the way that I do. If I tell you something that is science based I will say that it is. Otherwise it's just me rambling.

I tell you what. Rather than me telling what I would do, I will tell you what I did do.
First thing I did was wake up grateful about all kinds of stuff. Then after I had my first cup of coffee I made the decision to have a wonderful day. Go to work and put in a hard days work for fair pay. Maybe not fair pay, but perception is important. My perception is my reality. Enjoyed a good lunch that I made myself and some quiet time. Then right back to work. Really liked the thunder storms today.
Went to pick up dry cleaning after work. I would like to talk more about that soon though. Let's see what else. Oh yeah. Made plans for dinner this week with some potential friends and we have plans to spend time with some friends this weekend. Looking forward to that.
I really need to get a circle of friends here in Austin. I miss my friends in Cali so much. Especially my best friend. She knows who she is. It will help me feel more at home here. I'm going to be here for quite some time. If there was a way to live both places you know I would.

Talk soon

Politics Today and Minding your own Business

Hello Again,
As I'm watching the presidential hopefuls worked their magic across the United States it occurs to me that most of them have no idea what is really going on in America. So much of what they do is international now, what happens in our little country doesn't seem to matter. It's as if the president of the United States is really like the president of the world. We have our nose in everyone else's business. It seems to me that the more of a non politicians we can have in the White House the better off we could be. Ron Paul says we should get back to the Constitution Of The United States. I agree. People came to this land to start an Independent or Sovereign Nation. We have become so not that. We can't mind our own business and take care of our nation so we have to go around the world telling everyone else how it should be done. Well I have got some breaking news for you, Our way is not working. We have so many things that are broken. The first of which is the government. I can't believe that Former President Bush Sr. hasn't called up his son current President Bush and told him to pull his head out of his ass. He has single handedly alienated the Republican Party. From most of it's own people for heavens sake. He is so detached from reality that he has no idea what the hell is happening to us. When I say us, I mean us. The people of the United States of America. He works for us period. When was the last time he had to go to the grocery store, sit in traffic, or help a friend move out of their house because it has been for foreclosed on. Our government is the laughing stock of the world. I know some of you are saying we are so much better off that the rest of the world. I agree that our country has so many wonderful things, starting with the people. I could go on about all the great things we have in the United States, but this is not a thank you letter. I want everyone to think about how we can improve ourselves. If we don't know what is broken we can't fix it. Most of the people I know have their friends and family around them telling them that what they do is OK. It's OK to eat that piece of pie, or it's OK to take a drug to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol because you're to lazy to do the work necessary to fix it yourself. It's OK that we are helping the rest of the world and not ourselves. Well I'm the one who tells them that's not OK. Who will be there to rescue them when we no longer exist. "You give a man a fish and you feed him for the day, you teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". We cannot teach that what we do not know. The first thing we can do is take responsibility for what we are doing. You noticed that I didn't say what we did. We can't change the past and it doesn't matter who is to blame. I watch our government waste to much time and money on that already. Who the hell cares what over paid baseball player took drugs. Thats my money you are using to meet and greet your favorite player Senator Moron. We need to move ahead and that means remembering how we became the Nation everyone wanted to be at one time. We are not that now. When I have someone ask me about nutrition or fitness, I just tell them get back to the basics. They are so confused with all the stuff out there about health and fitness. It's overwhelming. That is how we have gotten ourselves in this mess with the rest of the world. We need to get back to the basics. Smaller government is the only way. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing so we end up winding our ass and scratching our watch. Stop the insanity.

We all need a little Terry.

One of my favorite things a quick little something that makes us smile. It could be almost anything. This one happens to be Triple T.
