Change this please...

I am now officially tired of the fact that everytime I call somewhere for info, the very first thing I hear is "to hear this message in english press 1." I am sick and tired of that crap. It should say "to hear this message in Spanish press 1, or go back home and press uno." I should never have to hear anything during my phone conversations that resembles any language other than English. Don't get me wrong, multi-lingual people amaze me, I am not at all. So it does impress me that people can know many different languages, I just don't think that i should have to push an extra button to listen to a message in my own language in my own country. Get rid of the option completely or make everyone sit through a button option for every language on the planet, putting english on number 1 of course since we are in America and that is still our official language, I think...

Till Now, and Till Next Time

Ok, so I am really not good at keeping up with this. But since the last time i was on here i have worked quite a bit. I have been real tired after work and not felt like sitting in front of the computer. To sum it up i closed the day after i got back from the metroplex, then I worked two 530 am mornings in a row and then closed again. It has been an up and down week. To say the least. I have been listening to my brothers new music. If you do not already have it, please go buy it for 5 dollars, it is worth every cent twice over. I have so many things i would love to talk about but not enough time to discuss them all. So many things going on in the world to discuss, from politics, to the people in general. I work in retail of sorts, and have to keep my mouth shut all the time but that does not mean that I can't blog about the selfishness and stupidity of half the general population. So many peopl out there really make me wonder how they even got as far as they did in life, oh wait, i bet the government bailed them out. Cause thats what it seems to be happening, the ignorant and irresponsible seem to be getting more help than those that are keeping our country afloat, or at least above water. But I could sit here all day and talk about that. I won't because my butt already hurts from sitting in this chair. Hmm, maybe that ismy problem, I need a better chair for this and maybe I will stick around more. Oh well, I am off to prepare for my fantasy football draft. At least this keeps me from watching more news and seeing what is going on the world, and who really wants to do that with all the destruction that is going on. Oh and if i were you, check out the little league world series, it is awesome. Good to know that there is still some form of innocence out there, (hopefully). They don't take steroids at that age do they, just kidding, that would be aweful. Well gotta go, I really am trying to get on here more and talk about things. You never know you may actually enjoy my opinions, they could make for some good comedy. Till Next time...

Uninspired...

I only say uninspired because of certain things going on with my dad. His health is not real good at the moment. It is hard for me to think of anything to blog about. But I did have a great weekend in the metroplex. I got to see my sister and my cousin and her husband. Caught up with an old friend and talked about his family that I practically grew up with. I have lots of pictures of me and my family at the ball park in arlington. I think one of the best things i got to do was take my nephew to center field and watch the Boston Red Sox take batting practice. He almost got to a couple of balls thrown into the center field grass. Although i was losing weight as I stood there it was extremely rewarding to watch the excitement on his face every time a ball was hit. I will post a few pictures here, and the rest will be on my facebook page. go check them out.

On a different note, those of you that use itunes, or myspace. My younger brother Josh has released the first of four albums. It is a mixture of full band music, acoustic, and acapella (i know i probably misspelled it). Anyways, it is just a preview of what is to come from the next three albums. I can say that i have heard some of the other stuff (benefits of being a brother) and there is more greatness to come. Trust me if you listen to the one song on myspace (Amy, Please) you will want to immediately download itunes and buy the whole album. Please do, you will not regret it whatsoever.

So I leave you with this. Never underestimate the power of the human spirit and what visits with family and people who care will do for those who are in need of proof there is much to be left behind, whether you believe it or not. So no matter how tired you are or how busy you think you are, There is not an excuse in the world that will allow you to not go and be with the very people that is responsible for who you are today...

G.I Joe

Went and saw the movie today. It was good, not to fond of the similarities between the main bad guy at the end and darth vador, but what can you do. All in all it was a good movie, definitely recommend watching it. It was a good way to end what was a busy day of sorts. Worked from 7 to 3, and as i got home pretty much went straight to the theatre after a quick bite to eat. No interesting conversations today. No intriguing thoughts either, but the day has not ended and i have started cooking dinner for the fellas, enchiritos are on the menu. Nothing real complicated but with inspiration from my sister-in-laws blogspot, i will be taking pictures. I will try and make them look as pretty as I possiby can consider that they really just go in a pan and get baked. Maybe something will pop up over dinner that i can talk about that will be more interesting than a plain pan of enchiritos. Fare well for now my friends.

I am back for quick description of dinner. I know for sure that i need new cookware, but the old stuff still works. Those of you that have eaten these at taco bell know that they are really good, easy and cheap to make for yourself. Enchilada sauce, ground beef, refried beans, green chiles, cheese, and tortilla's. There are lots of seasonings that go along with it, but just use your imagination if you try and make these and I am sure that they will be delicious. So now i am retiring to a quiet night on the couch to watch, American Outlaws (watch if you ever get a chance). And so i am finally done for the day...

Speech in Lubbock, in April

So I was sitting up at work today, and just so happened to be talking about politics and socialism. Everyone at work that admitted to voting for Obama, has no idea what is going on with our government and what socialism even is. I am not an expert on socialism by any stretch of the imagination, I just know that no matter what kind of spin you try to put on it, it does not work. So anyways, I decided I was going to blog about the ignorance and lack of education of the people that voted for him, due to the fact that we needed change. What was so often forgotten that it was slowly becoming a change for the worst that could affect a lot of things for a really long time. So right as I was about to do a little research on socialism to educate myself a little more on the subject, I decided to check my email first, and thus I came upon this speech from a doctor, that happened right here in my own city at my own court house. I suddenly realized that as much as I hate and disagree with everything that is going in our world today, i am not really doing anything about it and not supporting those that can make a difference. I do not know nor really care, to be honest, how this speech will sit with my friends. I also think that is a major problem with society today, worrying about others feelings, but that my friends is another blog day all in itself. Just do me a favor and read this in its entirety and pass it along.

A courageous American in Lubbock, Texas

In God we trust, but we need to do our share too...

At the TEA PARTY, a black man, Dr. Donald May, delivered this message from the courthouse steps inLubbock, TX. He electrified the audience like I haven’t seen in a long time. His delivery was masterful. I am sorry you could not see him in action. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy his words. The news media was there, but not one word of this man’s appearance ever appeared on TV or in print, even though he completely dominated the scene. April 15, 2009 - 11:49 pm Ladies and gentlemen, This is a Time For Courage. We are gathered here today on the Plains of West Texas in common purpose. We are here to remind our government that this is our country. We the People are still in charge, and our government is still our servant and not our master. Our Nation’s founding document is The Declaration ofIndependence .. It tells us that our rights come from God and not from a small group of Elite men and women. Our Constitution starts with the words “We the People.” Our Constitution was written for ordinary Americans like you and me. Our Constitution protects us from our government and from the politicians. Our President has complained that our Constitution gives ordinary people too much protection. He has ridiculed us for the high value we place on our Bibles, our guns, our personal property, and our Liberty .. He tells us we do not deserve to keep the money we have earned. We are told freedom has not worked. Personal responsibility, free enterprise, and Liberty have not been effective. Our government will now make more of our decisions for us. Other than our military, I can think of not one government agency I have ever found to be helpful. And speaking of our military, how about those Navy Seals blowing the heads off those three terrorist pirates? Don’t you just wish our entire government would function with such efficiency, professionalism, and courage? We watch in disbelief as and despair to untold hundreds of millions. The problems we face today have occurred because we have not defended our Nation from Socialism. For too long we have allowed the wrong people to make the worst possible decisions. The Bible warns us of class hatred. The Radical leadership of our government daily fans the evil flames of class envy. Our European and Canadian friends beg us to not make the same Socialist mistakes they did. The President of the European Union warned our President that his Socialist economic plans are taking the World down the “road to Hell.” The path to power for Socialists includes taking God and guns from the citizens. Without spiritual and physical protection, people cannot defend themselves and their Liberty .. They soon become slaves. We are angered that our President apologizes for the exceptionalism and heroism of the United States of America . We are deeply troubled that he told others the United States is not a Christian nation. We are angered that we have been called cowards and racists because we oppose Socialism. Socialism is not racial. Socialism is an equal opportunity destroyer. We are angered that a recent Department of Homeland Security report has singled out our military men and women who are returning home as being radical threats. The report also characterizes you and me as right-wing extremists and radicals because we favor smaller government and lower taxes. You and I are average citizens who believe just like most of our fellow Americans. We want our government to leave us alone and to keep its hands off our money, our religion, or guns, our private property, and our lives. We demand that our government stop spending money it does not have. Stop confiscating our money and private property. Stop printing money. Stop subsidizing Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the other failed financial institutions and companies. Mr. President, stop appointing tax cheats to positions of power and influence. Mr. President, secure our borders. Mr. President, do not divert money from our missile defense, F-22 Raptors, and other vital military equipment. This gives encouragement, aid, and comfort to our enemies. Protecting us is your number one job. Mr. President, do not give voting rights to millions of illegal aliens and felons. You have no more right to create new voters for your benefit than you do to use our money to buy the 2010 and 2012 Elections. We gather peacefully here today because there is a growing concern for what our government is doing to us and to our future. We fear for the very survival of our Republic. Yet there is much to make us hopeful and to fill our hearts with optimism and courage. This is still our country! The Constitution of the Unites States belongs to We the People. Our Constitution still protects us from our government. Call every possible elected official, including our President, Vice President, and the Speaker of the House. Demand that they stop stealing our money and giving it to ACORN and their other political supporters in order to buy votes. Call Senators Cornyn and Hutchison, andRepresentative Neugebauer. Thank them. Urge them to do much more. Remind them now is a time for action and not for campaigning. Volunteer to work on our 2010 Census. Confront ACORN. Keep our Census honest. We must not allow our President to take control of our Census for his political advantage. We must replace as much of our Far Left Congress as possible in 2010. Get involved. Do not let the ACORN control our 2010 Election. Talk with someone every day who does not understand our nation’s history and our great heritage. Tell them why the United States is a good and prosperous nation. It still remains that brightly lit city on the hill. It still is the best hope for all mankind. Talk with all of the young people you can find. They are our future. Many do not understand what they have and that their future is being destroyed. Encourage your elected State officials to pass legislation that will protect us from our Federal government. This is a time for strong peaceful action. Let us pray that We the People can quickly return our government to its Constitutional responsibilities. Our President and Congress were elected to be our servants and not our masters. May God help our President and Congress to quickly realize the error of their ways and stop their reckless and unwarranted spending, cut our taxes, and reduce the size of our Federal bureaucracy. If they do not, may God grant us the courage and determination to vote them out of power next year. May God richly bless and protect each of you, and our Constitution, as together we pursue Liberty ! Delivered at the Lubbock , Texas , TEA Party by Dr. Donald May This should be on the front page of every newspaper in the USA instead of being swept under the rug and kept off the news broadcasts. Our news media sucks, plain and simple. They are not “reporting the news,”—they are telling us what THEY want us to hear and that is not reporting the news. One more step toward Socialism. Let’s keep this going so everyone will know the truth.

Title Explanation

It all started at work. When someone is helping a customer and a girl walks up to the counter for help as well, one of us would sneak over and start to help that girl, the other person would call you a ninja. It basically starts when people walk around and sneak up behind you without making a noise. It just ended up being a phrase that I would use all the time, whether at work or at home.

So one day we were sitting around the apartment talking and goofing off as usual. My roommate Juan comes walking up behind me and i never heard him make a noise. I turned around and he was standing right behind me, about gave me a heart attack. I looked right at him and said "Man, your like a fat ninja." From that point on it has stuck. so you can pretty much tell that Juan is the FAT NINJA, and I am THAT GUY. we have decided that this will be our tv show when we can finally find someone to follow us around with a camera. we hear quite often that we are an entertaining pair, so we have decided that we should just start a show and share the wealth of entertainment with the world.

So this is the rest of my reasoning for having a blog. I figured i might as well join the rest of the world in this blogging thing. I will try to do it everyday, but we will see how that will go. Working where i do, i come across alot of things that always make me want to talk about and try and get some answers on the subject.

I also cook a lot, so there will be lots of pics, stories and shared recipes. I may even do an interview every now and then with my younger brother, which yes you hear a lot about on here. So i guess i will start the rest tomorrow and see how this goes.
