facial dedication

Well this morning I did something I have never done before. I decided to do some product research on one of the product lines that I sell. I did NOT put make up on. I did however decide to use the skin care line. The cleanser, eye serum, moisturizer, and reguvinating complex. Women are nuts. And so are the men all wrapped up in how they look. I'm sorry. Who wants to go thru this every day just to remove some wrinkles. Wash, pat dry, Cleanse pat dry. reguvinate, put eye serum under eyes. I feel like I have wax on my head. It is definitly one of those days that I am really glad I'm a man and not a woman.

coming home for lunch.

The last two days I have come home from work for lunch. This is something that I need to stop doing. You see I make myself some lunch. Then I turn on the t.v. and watch while I eat. Yesterday I watched Dr. Phil. I cant freeking believe this hack is a psycologist. He should be locked up. This episode was a disfunctional family one. The mother was taking care of two of her 22 year old daughters children and the daughter is pregnant again. Now I admit the daughter had some real issues. A lot of them. But most of those appeared to be caused by her stiff ass bitch of a mother. Dr. Phil threw the daughter under the bus repeatededly. All he could do was re-enforce the overbearing mothers issues, and ignore the fact that the daughter was SCREAMING to have a normal relationship with her mother. Which is impossible with Both Dr. Phil and the mother making her feel like shit all the time. I was very disappointed Dr. Phil, who is supposed to be this common sense straight talking savior is actually just an average t.v. hack like all the others. Oprah has made another bad choice in this one.

Today I watched the view. I used to love the view. This constant regurgitation coming from Joy Behar is just about to make me stop watching. She has completely ruined it for me. I was having a really good day too. Today the idiot blamed the oil catastrophie happening right now in the gulf on Dick Cheney. Its all his fault because of all the offshore de-regulation. I am starting to believe that this is the dumbest woman on t.v. At least until Rosie O'donnell is back on t.v.
What does joy think for christs sake? That money, food, clothing, etc grow on trees. I am pretty sure that she is not growing food in a garden on top of her uptown apt. I somehow dont think that she is living a sustainable lifestyle. I am sure that she enjoys some of the very things that the petroleum industry supplies for the world. Unless she is ready to move out of her comfortable existence and join a commune and start living the tree hugger green life, I think the should stick to comedy. Something she is mildly competent at.

Off the beaten path.

This weekend. A suspected wife killer, without a passport. His passport had been confiscated by the Mexican police. Snuck back in to the United States. But Janet Napolitano says our borders are secure. Another proud moment for our border patrol.

Anyway. Its is cold here today. It was cold and windy yesterday. I'm sorry this spring has shot the global warming theory right in the ass. Here in Arizona anyway.

I had the best thursday last week. I made a few sales calls. Met a good friend for lunch at one of the coolest places in Phx. Its called the ZuZu Cafe. Its located in the Valley Ho Motel. This motel was built sometime in the sixties or late fifties. Its decor has been kept true to its sixties theme. Its not run down, the grounds are meticulously maintained. The rooms are fantastic, it has a great spa, and the ZuZu Cafe. When you walk in you think you have stepped back in time into some kind of 60 late nite after hours hot spot. Big deep seated semi-private booths all decorated in orange and green and brown, Acrylic two top tables, deep swoopy vinyl swooning type lounge chairs. It is so cool. Not to mention the best food. Its not cheap. But well worth every penny. I can almost imagine Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. Stopping by after a set on stage enjoying cigars and scotch before pouring themselves into their rooms.

This is just one of the many cool reasons why I love living in this valley. There are so many cool places to eat. Art galleries, clothing stores and trendy spa's. You never run out of fun things to do. Sometimes you have to look a little bit, but there are some really cool places off the beaten path.

obama and the mexicans

Last nite while watching the NBC nightly news. I watched as many as you did, the segment where the 2nd grade girl askes Michele Obama about our chocolate president and sending Mexicans back to Mexico. Ok How freeking sad is that. A two year old girl is worrying about her whole world going to shit. She is a prime example of what is going on today in the U.S. Obviously her mother pays no taxes, and yet her daughter who is legal is going to school here, and I bet she gets free medical care too.
Joy Behar, who I used to like, but lately every time she opens her mouth, more shit comes out. Said the other day, what Arizonan's are pissed off about is Illegals just like that. They came here and let their papers expire and now they are illegal. Thats not true. Most of the Mexican that originally got papers are completely absorbed into American culture, especially the ones that live north and east of Arizona. First of all, she isnt intelligent enough to know what we are pissed off about, if you dont believe me just watch her show sometime.
We are pissed off about the ones that come over here, sneaking accross the border, dont ever intend to get papers, live in all mexican neighborhoods, its not hard to round them up, they live in packs like wild dogs. They never intend to become naturalized citizens. They breed like rats, often get caught and deported, and then sneak right back over the border. Immigration policy is not broken, the border is. Make the border secure, and the illegal immigration problem will take care of itself. The Mexican president doesnt deserve to have an opinion either. Of course he wants them to come over here, then he doesnt have to worry about the crime and the drain on mexican economy and society.

On the brighter side. My filly by Curb Appeal is incredible. She is a moose. The poor mare eats whenever she is not sleeping, because the filly eats whenever she is not sleeping. I cant wait to wean her. I am sure that mom cant wait either. I have both of the mares in foal, and I'm sure about that because I turned Barkley out with them and he is afraid to death of both of them, which is completly 100% the opposite of the way it was before they were in foal. Well I have to get back to work. Keeping the women of Arizona beautiful and smelling great.

voting

Well I did it. I went in voted in my first election here in Arizona. I have to tell you. The volunteer's that are working the polling places deserve to get paid. I say that because I had to wait in line to vote. The line was not long. There were not a lot of issues to vote one. I did not take a long time to turn in your ballet. The average person voting is too stupid to know how. It was frustrating, they didnt know if they were in the right polling place. They couldnt find their address on the precinct map, they forgot their I.D's. They couldnt find the proper pen to fill out the ballett. I am telling you, the woman in charge of the polling place has the patience of god and deserves a big raise. I was very dis-hearted. I know am completely sure that the average american has given up. Especially if they have been voting for a long time and have seen such a deterioration in the voting public. I voted against the tax increase. I am sure the teachers will be pissed off if the measure doesnt pass. But enough is enough. Lets put some of those mothers and fathers not working in the classroom to work as volunteer teacher aids. That way they would actually see how poorly their kids behaved at school, and hot tough it is to be a teacher. But the bottom line is they just dont want the responsibility.

20 cops all with their guns drawn.

Most of you dont know that the first summer I lived here, we had an incident here at my house involving illegal's. So know you get to hear about it. One night about two a.m. I got up to go to the bathroom. I have to go several times a nite and I can look out my bathroom window, on the 2nd floor while I am going. This particular evening as I witnessed several police cruisers converge on the intersection about 1/2 mile from my house. Lights flashing etc. I woke Dave up and went out on the balcony to watch as the cruisers continued to drive back and forth and around out neighborhood with the helicoptor overhead. At the time Whitney lived downstairs, so I called her and told some kind of shit was going on and she should lock her doors. We live in a huge two story cinder block building with an apartment and office downstairs and a larger apartment upstairs. All the while I was talking to Whitney, we were all watching the cops drive thru the neighborhood with their lights flashing and their spotlights on all the houses and yards. They seemed to be getting closer and I guess in my sleepy state I didnt realize exactly what was going on, and eventually the helicopter was concentrating on my place and all the cruisers came speeding down my drive light and sirens blaring driving around my house sliding to a stop, pulling their guns and spotlights and screaming for somebody to get down. I of course was caught completely off guard and since I sleep in the raw, had to run into the house and put some nightclothes on. When I came back out on the balcony and walked over to talk to the police I was told to get back in the house. All this time the police were like rabid dogs on steroids, screaming to get down, threatening to turn the dogs loose, waving their guns around etc.
I had to call 911 and talk to dispatch and find out what the hell was going on, and to tell them that someone lived downstairs and not to do any shooting until she was safe. Eventually they got Whitney out of her apartment, and turned one of their police dogs into the shop to catch one of the bad guys.
As it turns out, 5 guys had been stealing cars in Mesa, and while the police were on the chase they rolled on the the trucks that they stole, and found their way thru the neighborhood to our house to hide. One jumped the fence at hid in the shop. One was under my truck, one was hiding in front of it between it and the shop, and two others just jumped the fence and kept on running. There were at least 25 officers, city county etc. at the house. Basically they had stolen 4 cars in Mesa, and had decided to run to the Indian Reservation south of town so that they couldnt be caught. There was one legal mexican, 3 illegals, and one juvenille, who was also illegal. This happened in September and it took until February the following year to prosecute them. I had to go to court on two seperate occasions, fill out volumes of paperwork. It was a collosal pain in the ass.

Just today the police raided a drop house here in Phx. Arresting two Coyotes, and 12 illegals that had already paid $2500.00 to get smuggled over here, and they were being held at gunpoint until their families could pay another $2500.00 to get freed. They followed them home from a traffic stop. This is human trafficking, what about this picture do people not see as wrong. Their own people are treating them like slaves. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didnt most of the blacks in this country get here in the same fashion, and I though that we had made that illegal. Keep right on protesting, and when your car is stolen while your on parade somewhere, I'll bet you find an illegal stripping it at the local chop shop.

oil spills and supreme court justices.

Ok here's the deal. I am really REALLY tired of hearing about who's at fault, and what is going on in the Gulf with the oil spill. I think the gov't needs to stop trying to blame somebody and get BP to admit they were at fault. For christ's sake just start sending enough coast guard or national guard or even hire unemployed oil workers to get to the gulf and get the oil cleaned up. All this pissing around is not doing anything to solve the problem.

1 way racism.

Well yesterday I was appalled while watching the news. It seems our chocolate president thinks the immigration issue is some kind of joke. And when he tells it. It's supposed to be funny. What the hell is wrong with the american people and the press. If a white, president, democrat or republican, or any white elected official, or any member of the press would have come up with that kind of a racist joke. Somebody would be asking for their head on a platter. I can believe it. It went something like this. "If you get stopped for speeding in Arizona and you dont have your I.D., Well adios amigo's. " What an intellegent response by a president. I dont wonder any more why nothing is being done about immigration. Our own president thinks its a joke. What amazes me is the obvious fact that if the joke had been told this way. And this is my quote. "If you get stopped in Arizona and you dont have your I.D., and you black. Well back to Africa. " Just imagine all of the people that would have pissed off. Hell Al Sharpton would be looking to put a hit out on you. Wake up people it's time we did something about our elected officials.

an activist is born

The last two days have been interesting for me. You see, I took it upon myself to get pissed off because As Sharpton, and Danny Glover were here to protest our new immigration law. I dont really understand their way of thinking because they are here because their ancestors were slaves and brought here against their will. The illegals are here because they want to be. I dont understand. Anyway after having a conversation with one of my friends who moved here from Australia, I feel I have a deeper knowledge of the immigration issue. You see. He is really offended by this issue. He wanted to move here, and took all the neccessary steps to get his citizenship. And he pays taxes, has his own business etc. The illegals dont pay taxes. Their kids go to school here for free. They get free health care. So being all pissed off like a get sometimes that nobody was saying anything positive about the law. I decided to take white shoe polish and put "support Arizona Immigration Law" on the back of my car window. Ive been driving it around for two days while making sales calls. The response that I have been getting is truly amazing. You see I have thought for years that the reason people dont vote is because they have given up on the politicians. You see our elected officials dont seem to do what they are elected to do. They dont care what we want. The last two days driving around in my car with that saying in the window has done nothing but solidify that in my mind. You see people are passionate about this issue. PASSIONATE. I get nods and thumbs ups, from dozens of people every time I drive. I also get a few people shaking their heads at me, and one woman in a beat up old mustang, needing a wash actually flipped me off. I screamed at her I wouldnt touch her with a 10 foot pole or something to that effect. Dave thought I was nuts and my car would get vandalized. Actually I had a moment when I thought he might actually be right. A large guy, I mean a REALLY large guy in an 80's era pickup, that probably had one million miles on it, he looked Mexican, started honking at me to get my attention, just when I thought he was going to ram into me, he gave me the thumbs up with both hands. Weaving all over while driving with his REALLY huge leg I am sure. People have an opinion about this issue. Why is nobody listening. Why did it have to get this way in the first place. Thank god the Canadians like to move here for the winter and move home when it warms up or we would really be screwed. I just dont get it what are we going to have to do to get our ELECTED officials to do what we ask. And another thing. Our chocolate president is doing just as shitty as job handling the oil rig spill in the gulf, as W did handling hurricane Katrina. He should do much more than he is. It is truly going to be a catastrophie and sitting on his ass and letting BP take care of it is not going to work.

we vote with our money.

This last weekend I got to race my car. It was the best fun I have had in about a month. I have had a pretty good week. Getting a new job, and racing my car. Cant get much better than that. Anyway, I ran this weekend at two different tracks, with two different clubs. Usually I just race with NASA, but Someone tells me all the time that you vote with how you spend money. I have been a little irritated with how the organization scheduling of the NASA racing has been going so I raced with NASA on Saturday, and Pro-autosports on Sunday. The clubs are run very differently. Competition is tougher at NASA, but the Pro Auto Sports group is much more organized. I did have a really good time on Saturday, we raced at PIR, the place where I spun my car into the wall. After a few laps, I was back to my old self and I didnt miss my turn in into turn one not one time. Nope, one wreck is enough for me to learn not to miss the important marks. I had done some adjusting on the cars shocks, and pretty much messed them up. I was lucky to have someone set them for me before the end of the day, and the car was much better, much easier for me to drive during the last session.
Sunday we raced at Firebird International Raceway, on the east track. I like that track. A couple of long straights on one side, and a slight elevation change and lots of curves on the other side. It makes for a nice challenging course. I had a really good time. The car was much better on Sunday. I followed directions and set the shocks a little different and it was really easy to drive fast. A couple of other corvette club member were there and there were a couple of sessions where we pretty much had the track to ourselves and got to race each other really hard. I had a blast, and I learned one thing for sure. I have a really good car, and I just need to drive it better. And I had such a good time running with Pro Auto sports I am going to vote some more and run with them a few more times this year. Next time Memorial Weekend at Inde Motorsports ranch. One of the finest tracks in the southwest. I cant wait.
