I'm Back

Only one year later and I am back! During my year long recess I have been unemployed, employed, a graduate, a first year grad student, and a newly minted father. Yep I spent one month unemployed traveling and trying to find my ideal location to settle down. I traveled to Bend, Oregon to Rexburg, Idaho to Provo, Utah to St. George, Utah and then back to San Marcos, CA. We ended up deciding on California. I began working with a Composites Manufacturing Firm located in Escondido, CA as their Buyer. I soon after enrolled and was accepted to the University of San Diego's Master of Supply Chain Management program starting in the Spring of 2010. And a side note I (well, my wife, I swear its half mine) had a baby in July, Jackson.

So enough with whats going on with me. With the Elections coming up there's all sorts of stuff going around and people hating on each other for this political stuff. Relax, life goes on! Express what you believe, but don't attack a person for their beliefs. Speaking of beliefs.... The Californian Dream Act. WTF California! The Dream Act which allows students who are in the US Illegally or Undocumented to receive Government Financial Aid. So basically, anyone can come live in the US and break our laws by not getting a green card or student visa, and have their education paid for by our Government. .... And me a legal citizen, I'll be competing against these people. Not Fair.

You may call me racist or what not. But whats wrong with obeying the law? I expect to get kicked out of your country if I am there illegally. I don't expect for my Education to get funded by your government. Its just not fair.


Alright Time for the Best People in the World for this week!!!


As the "Good":


A tie between Muslim Comedian Dean Obeidallah and CNN Journalist Anderson Cooper.


So I chose Dean because of his openmindness to people, all people. See article below where he writes against Rev. Robert Jeffress' remarks against Muslims, Hindus, Catholics, and Mormons. Dean basically tosses aside the Reverend's remarks and decides for himself what to make of Mormon culture. He seems like a good guy with an openmind, I need to look up his comedy tours. His current show is called "The Muslims are Coming."

See Story about Dean's Trip to Utah

I chose Anderson Cooper also because he publicly confronted the Reverend of what he said earlier about Mormons. Anderson basically buried the Reverend's case and buried the Reverend's nomination of Governor Perry for President. Poor guy, I bet he wishes he didn't ask for the Reverend's support. The Reverend's smile creeps me out.

See Anderson in action.


The Better:

Brandon Kelly

Why does that name ring a bell? Yes sir he is the wiener flinger! You know the one who threw a Hotdog at Tiger Woods. Yeah I enjoyed it. Not that I don't like Tiger Woods or that Brandon is someone special but anyone who throws a HotDog at anyone deserves a cheer. I mean a well-dressed hot dog, with catchup, mustard, relish, onions, sour kraut, and jalapenos.... please that splat is worth the night in jail alone! Cheers Brew!

See His Story



The Best:


Unknown Drug Cartel Informant



So these types of stories, always intrigue me. So those dang Iranians are trying to use Mexican Drug Cartel Members to start some international incident between the US and Iran. Luckily enough, the guy they hired to help was an Informant for the US DEA. Have you ever seen the movie La Linea (The Line)? Kind of like that, the Arabs use the Mexicans to sneak drugs and guns into the US. So I thought this guy was a good guy for the top spot on my list this week. I mean you really have to put it all on the line as an informant. I say this to you bro, I hope you weren't caught and you keep working against those terrorists.

  1. Hey Steve. I saw the link to your blog on facebook. I didn't know you kept one. Glad to see you are doing well :)

    I just wanted to comment really quick on what you said about the Dream Act. You said that anyone can come to the US illegally and qualify for government aid for their education. Based on my understanding (which is limited) there are actually pretty strict requirements in order to qualify (under the age of 16 when entering the states, in the states for consecutive five years before bill is passed, graduated from US high school, show good moral character, applicant age limits). Without these requirements I would question whether or not the bill was adding incentive for more illegal immigration. However, as it is, I think the bill is reasonable. These children should not be held responsible for what their parents did. They should be afforded the same opportunity to become more productive (and higher tax paying) members of the country they call home.

    Anyway, I usually don't comment on things like this, but I hoped that knowing the above might make you feel a little better about the law?
