Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy.

   Well the last 8 weeks around here have been well honestly shitty, crummy and whatever other word you can fit in the sentence that describes troublesome. I've kept my noise in the background, well I have tried. I am not sure I succeed with that.  I've taken these opportunities of these feelings to make some further changes in my life in  a positive way. That might be a whole separate post though.

6 weeks ago my neighbor Warren was cutting down a tree and he fell off the ladder and scraped his right side. We all thought nothing of it, just a few scrapes. Well in the weeks to follow he continued to complain of symptoms that I thought might be diabetes.  So I tested him for that and he was showing that he didn't have it. To make a long story shorter his symptoms of not feeling well continued. I made a list for his wife to give to the Dr. so he could get his blood drawn. Warren's Liver enzymes came  back 3 times greater then the normal level.. In the last 3 weeks I have seen a man full of energy deteriorate into nothing. Last night he came home for the E.R and Candy his wife broke the news to us.. That he has weeks to live. In my heart I already new this. I have seen many sick people in my time. I know miracles can happen but once the cancer has taken over the body, it is rare to fight it. Even if it wasn't all over in his body, it is Liver cancer and there is no treatment. Warren is only 5 years older then Zach so the reality of all this is, well reality at it's finest. The treatment I suggest usually gets laughed at and it is not easy to get a hold of and well it's illegal, so there goes that idea!!!


The next few weeks/months ahead will be very rough on his family and friends. We all feel pretty helpless. It was very lonely out here before Warren came along. It will be lonely when he leaves. He is  a believer in Christ and knows that God has a plan for him. Please keep his family in your prayers.. That he can at least not suffer so bad in the future weeks. That the pain will  subside and he can enjoy the last days of his life being able to see the beauty in a flower.. When you are in so much pain it is hard to enjoy anything, let alone the simple things...

Please take this opportunity to tell someone you love them and care for them.  Life is short, don't waste it!

I was able to get some photo's of him and his kids a few weeks ago. He still looked pretty healthy..

I told Warren to smile he said,"I have no teeth", I said smile anyway, just don't show me your no teeth!

End The Fed!

infiltrating the street with Ron Paul signs& V signs!

   A month or so ago Zach and I drove down to the Federal Reserve Bank in Houston to protest our 1st amendment rights. It was very nice to be able to practice these rights. I am so grateful to be an American. I have been politically active since I turned 19. I continue to try to keep myself informed politically and economically. To get to my point I will just say that we live under a corrupted Banking system. It is a huge illusion that could be destroyed by like minded individuals. I know protesting might seem silly to some and might not accomplish much at this time. I did have a chance to meet some wonderful people. There is a difference in the people down at the Fed compared to some of the OWS groups.  I say this because the people down at the Fed are not protesting free education, or free health car or free anything.. We want accountability of all this money printing out of thin air and there isn't any.
The problem with a lot of the young people these days is that we live in a self gratification type of society. WE expect the government to save us, help us and even feed us when we can't do it ourselves(I'm guilty of this as well). If we had a free market and true capitalism the types of things we are seeing go on wouldn't occur. The free market would eventually correct itself. It would be painful the next 5 years for middle class and poor Americans. If they continue down the road they are on it will eventually self destruct.. This is not fiction but history!

 Since September  there has been a movement called Occupy Wall St. Where protesters are camping out on Wall st. There are other numerous movements going on as well down in New York and all over the Country . Many people are unemployed, wondering why they can't pay there everyday expenses at the same time they have their i-phones ect.  I don't agree with most  of the people down there occupying wall st. but I do agree with some.  Unfortunatly a lot of people are fed up and even though they might not understand they are still there protesting and I can respect that. I will include some video's in this post to give you a better idea of where I stand...

forgot my shades...

I'm educated enough to this point to know that wall street is just a stem or branch from the big old tree that it is owned by(Goldman and the likes) Once the people learn that the Federal Reserve Bank is nothing but a corporation(or operates similar to one, but worse) that there is nothing Federal about it(meaning it is not part of our government) nor is it close to any type of Reserve, then we will see the world change. I can't stress enough to get your money out of paper... NOW:)

P.s. I forgot my camera this day(of all the days)! I was so bummed but I had the cell phone that did an okay job.Sorry the video's are bad the battery was dying at the wrong time! You will notice too that we are not protesting on the side walk. The police kept saying that where we were protesting at was dangerous. The police refused to let us stand on the side walk in front of the reserve. We had to stand on the dirt with on coming traffic coming right at us... If people only knew Liberty and freedom are not free but something we must FIGHT for!

It was nice being part of something bigger than myself.. Truly inspirational for Zach and I who decided to ditch the system ways a few years ago. Here are some video's that are probably dull to most but explains a lot if you would like to get informed.. This young buck knows his economics.. Keynesian vs. Austrian economics.
