Modern Revolution

It seems that things are changing in the US these days. Not only are gas prices skyrocketing, but now we are running into economic turmoil. The effects could be more government control in our markets or maybe another great depression. Now, I don't want another great depression. I don't think any of us do. Somehow though we need to get out of what we are in right now. It is hard for Government not to get involved. They feel responsible for the American people. But they are not responsible for them. It's quite the contrary we are in charge of the government and we are to determine what they can and can't do. The more they decide what they want to do the more we fall into a further socialistic government. So the question is posed, what do we do? I can complain all day long. But what I need is a solution! What if anything can we do to bring and strip the Government of it's control. I believe they have good intent for the most part, the problem is that somebody has been given too much control and continues to get more control. My government doesn't represent my interest but its own. What I need is representation. In the world today we have communication that we didn't have before. We can send information from one side of the world to the other in a matter of milliseconds. Why can't the voice of the people represent that to their own government. Why can't the government send that information to us to discuss. We would greatly benefit from the whole instead of a part. If all parties are involved better plans and information can be assessed. Yep, it would take a little bit longer to get answers, but they probably would be the better answers than we get now. Again I have the question of what we do? I don't know but I am willing to listen to anyone who wants to give me their opinion.

My life as of lately....

Hello family and friends...I'm sure everyone is so excited to hear about my new adventures in life! Most of you know that I spent about four months in Las Vegas this year. Man that was not fun. It actually was a bug pain, but I was grateful to have a job. In my personal opinion that city is not fit for living in. Don't get me wrong I have many friends there and they are all great people. It is the atmosphere that bothers me and doesn't have any value to it except to those who want to live a loose demeaning life.

As you can imagine coming back to Utah was a relief and a joy. My work promptly closed my program in Vegas and moved me out in three days from telling me. I was lucky to find an apartment with a buddy who was looking for roommates. When I went back to work at the home office they moved me into the business development dept. It was a great position with not the greatest potential. It was a dead end for me and I knew I needed to get more out of life right now. So I worked out a deal with a private investor to give me a loan so I could start my own business. As if I will ever stop being an entrepreneur. A few days later after quitting my job I left to Atlanta to not only see my awesome brother, Richard, get home from his mission but to start prospecting for clients. I flew to Atlanta but I drove the rest of the way back to Utah. I stopped in several cities and really enjoyed not only seeing old friends but visiting with various business owners. I was pretty proud to talk to so many big CEO's and help them see how my product would benefit them. Now it falls to time and returning phone calls to see who will work with me. Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for me!
My brother met up with me in the midst of my travels in Dallas; where we rode together up to Idaho to get him to school. It is amazing to see how much he has changed from serving the Lord. You can see how is mind has become more clear and how focused he has become. I thought I was proud of him before he left now I'm even more humbled to call him my brother. A few funny things happened on our way up. To give a little background the car we were driving was a 94' Lumina given to Richard by Alison and Joe. Before we left the car had to have a few parts replaced and even then when we left we were told all sorts of great stories of what might go wrong. Richard and I were excited to see how many states this car would make before it died. (In reality it was a great car with a good engine.) With these assurances given us; Richard and I set out on our 22 hour trip to Rexburg, Idaho. Towards the evening we turned on the headlights as any normal person would do. And I started to notice that the instrument lights in the dash started going off and on periodically. Eventually they went out all together. Richard and I sat in a dark Lumina, thankful that the actual headlights still worked as we cruised up the highway to Denver, CO. We both started laughing and even tried to solve the problem at our next gas stop. We were stumped as to the solution. We thought it was a fuse but couldn't find which one it would be. So we decided that if we left the car on cruise control we really didn't need the instruments for anything as we drove. Try telling that to a Pilot of a Boeing 747..."Hey Bill the instruments are broken can you get this big piece of metal through the mountains ok?" Luckily it was just a car and not a plane.
I was driving the last leg it seemed to my Aunt and Uncles house in Denver. I think I was really tired since it was 3 in the morning. At one point I turned to Rick and Said, "Bro I think it's your turn to drive." He looked at me kinda weird knowing that it wasn't that much further to go and said, "Why do you want me to drive?" "Well," I said "Because for some reason I'm starting to see two of every sign on the road and I can't make it go away." He thought it was funny but I didn't.
Eventually through the next day we made it to Rexburg and I a few days later took a shuttle back to my car in Salt Lake. I'm back in Provo once again. I haven't been going after too many girls because I'm even more broke than I have ever been before. I did get my first consultation yesterday with a computer repair business. And I got Paid!! So things are looking up!
