The Great Depression 2

Where is our economy going these days? Why are people only out for themselves and not trying to help their fellow man? Well it seems that our economy is getting worse and the rich are getting richer. Our country would not be in the shape that they are in if they would learn to treat the people of this country right. But no, today's big businesses are taking the jobs that we in America should be doing overseas or giving them to those that will work for the littlest amount of money possible or giving them to illegal immigrants. Because they want to keep all of the profits for themselves just to show everyone else how rich they are. There is no help today for the common man who is out seeking to try to improve his life, noooo. Today you work a job, and they can fire you without a cause, they can not hire you, Oh, because you have bad credit, you're over qualified, under qualified, don't have the education that we are looking for, don't have the certificates that we are looking for, are not deep enough in debt or have to much debt. What ever happened to the simpler days when we could go to work and make money to pay off our debts, take our families on vacations, have money saved up for retirement. Well those days are gone do to greed in the upper management of companies, where CEO, CFO, and everyone that runs the company can embezzle money and get away with it. They say that we are always looking for raises, and wanting more time off. A good company knows how to treat their employees, and to keep them happy. For a company with good employees is a company that is going to soar way above the rest, and the employees of the company are going to make better quality merchandise than the competitor. When will this country realize, that the more people that are out of work here in this country, the more they are at risk all over the world. Our motto use to be BUY AMERICAN and now our motto is SCREW AMERICA. We can make it faster and cheaper every where else and get them to pay for getting it imported back into the states. I like what President Obama said, "Companies that take their jobs to other countries will not get incentives any more from the US Government, and they will be charged import taxes like all other countries to bring their products back into the country". "But companies that stay here in the United States and give jobs to the American people (not illegal immigrants) will get the full support and backing of the US Government" (I like that). If America is going to return to it's place in the world. We need to help our fellow man (not find fault with him or her) to stand on their own, so that they can help us stand on our own. For if our economy continues to head in the direction that it is going now, we are heading to the sequel of the Great Depression.

Meeting a Blind Date

I have the worse time meeting a blind date (not the ones that are blind), but the ones that your friends or family set you up on. For many years, others have tried to set me up with a date and then they would no give me any information on what my date looked like. I hate going out to meet someone and not being able to see what they look like (until the time of the date). I would rather go to the personals online (e.g. like Yahoo, Eharmony, Singlesnet, etc) then to have someone fix me up with a blind date. You know the kind where you send you best friend or you family member in first to tell you what they look like and they come back and lie to you saying, They are very beautiful or handsome, (then you find out that your friend or family member wouldn't be caught dead with that person or hang out with you any more if you chose them ) or that that person is the most ugliest thing that they have ever seen (and truthfully, Ken or Barbie can't even touch that person with looks or style) but they want that person for themselves. I have got to know what they look like before I decide to venture out there to see them. I am not looking for someone with money, fame, and fortune, but a someone that is pleasing to me. I think sometimes that I should be blind and maybe have my eyes cut out (that way I won't see, judge, or have to worry about what they look like), but if they feel wrong, (now that is a different story in itself). If I set up a date (or someone else sets up the date for me), I am polite, kind and I will go meet that person. If they are not my type, I have a good time with them anyway and I tell them that we can be friends, and if they are the type of person that I am looking to be with. I invite ask them for a second date. Either way I am polite to them and I treat them the way that they should be treated. So far I have not met the person that I would like to spend all of my time with, but I have made lasting friendships, and I know that they will find the right person for them. But for me, going on Blind dates are scary (especially when you do not know who or what you are going to meet). So I play it safe and never let anyone choose my dates for me (bad experiences) and I am careful about who I am choosing. I can find a wonderful person on the personals (by their picture and the description of themselves), but it might not be them at all.. They might post a picture of a friend or someone else to try and get a date. Man, I hate dishonesty. Blind dating can be a scary thing. So I don't let my friends or family set me up or even online personals. If I really want to meet someone, I will ask someone that I know or that I meet (in person), if they would like to go out and the worse thing that they can can say is yes or no. So if you want to meet a blind date, talk to them in person and ask them out, because it turns out that the person that you truly want to be with is someone that you already know, (now you can take out the guess work). Just be bold and talk to at the person that you truly wanted to be with in the first place. For they truly are waiting on you to ask. Now, meeting your true blind date is not scary at all. What's your opinion? Thanks

Making Music

Today, so many people are out trying to make music that the industry would love, that they have forgotten what it was that got them started in the first place. It was their passion for music, and what they wanted to see changed in the industry. But they have become like everyone else in the business, and have become afraid to try to make that change. Because if they do something differently then all that have gone before them, they will not make it. Making music is a passion and a dream, and seeing the positive things that music can do for us all is a great accomplishment. Why would we try to kill our children, but yet we are poisoning them with music of violence, songs that does not give them a way or an opportunity to get out of the hood, gang violence, killing, being a gangster, hate, racism, drugs, and a false hope on making fast money. We need to give our children our race, our people, and our nation positive hope. Nothings going to last forever, unless we all are willing to change. So let's make music that is not only going to bring us all together, but let us share in our music where we came from and where we are going. For this is the heritage and the true out look on making music. For with music we can conquer hate, we can save a nation, we can make a difference for the future generations. We need to come together and show this world as a black race, white race, Hispanic race, oriental race, and all other races that we can stand united together and not let music influence who we are, what we are or what we can become. So let's let the true light and love shine in the music that we make. For it is not the music industry that makes that decision on what music can be made or played, but we ourselves, and they follow what the customer is looking for. We the people have to make that change and that decision that will make this world a better place to live. So let's make that change starting with the "Man in the Mirror"
