As a serial killer, I support every gun control law.

I would hate to walk in a theater knowing the potential victims might be armed.

Is it just me, or do you support gun control too?

There is someone out there who has hurt you more than anyone else.  That person may have taken something away from you that was sacred.

The person may have broken something that is beyond repair.  The person may have robbed you of your innocence.

Now imagine that person said, “Sorry.”

Is there anyone from your present or past that you could never forgive?
                                                         
                                     

Imagine that you could stay the weight you are right now for the rest of your life.

You would never be able to lose weight.  But no matter what you ate, you would never gain weight.

Would you want to keep your current weight for life?

Recently I noticed that a fellow xangan had made a few negative comments about me.  I think you all know I am above responding with an unkind post.

I also noticed she posted about being on welfare and also feels the government should pay for her medical insurance.

So instead of posting something negative, I thought I would write a helpful post.

Here are my tips on how to get off welfare:

1.  Take personal responsibility for your actions.  You have created the environment you live in today.  If you can’t own that, you will be in the same situation tomorrow. 

2.  Work hard at your job.  I am almost always the first person to get to work in the morning and one of the last to leave.  Hard work will get noticed and will be rewarded.

3.  Don’t look for a handout in life.  Those who look for a handout usually struggle with helping themselves.  So stop thinking about what is owed you in life and start spending extra time working to move in a positive direction.

4.  Work one job.  I have noticed that some people talk about working multiple jobs.  In general, this is a bad strategy.  You will spend too much time going between jobs.  So focus on the job you have and try to move up.

5.  Move in with a few responsible friends who are trying to get ahead in life.  It doesn’t hurt to have 4-5 working people in one place.  You can do that for a few years.  4-5 people making minimum wage can combine their income and pay for food and the rent.  This works even if you are single and have a child.  Take turns watching each other’s children.  I only made $17,000 our first year of marriage and we had a child immediately.

6.  Go to school.  The unemployment rate is 4% for college graduates.  So while you are living with your friends and making minimum wage, go to college and get a degree in something that matters (At this point I would suggest you don’t pick an art major if you are already on welfare).

7.  Get off the Internet.  If you are spending all day on the Internet writing negative things about others, you will stay on welfare.  Notice I am not on xanga during the day because I am working.  So work instead of spending time on the Internet bashing me. 

I hope this helps.

I am sure it is hard to find anyone that has not owned an Apple product.

You have the Mac, iPad, iPod and iPhone.

Have you ever owned an Apple product?
                                                        

I must admit I enjoy Pepsi.  I am trying to cut back because I tend to think it is unhealthy. 

I love Gatorade too.  My wife told me tonight it has too much sugar too. 

What is your favorite drink?
                        
                                                     

When I was a kid, we were told that smoking pot was dangerous. 

I must admit, I always believed it.  We were taught that pot was a gateway drug and people started with that and moved on to other drugs.  Plus a person could smoke pot and not know it was laced with something more serious.

Is smoking pot dangerous?

They were talking on the radio this morning about a photo of Kim Kardashian pumping gas in a car while Kanye West just watched.

The talk was that Kanye should have gotten out of the car and pumped the gas. One article suggested she was trained like a dog.   Here is the link:  Link

Should a woman pump gas if a man is present?
                             
                                                                                       

People tend to have a certain expectation of how much money they need to make in order to feel they have made it in life.

For some it is $40,000 a year and for others it might be $60,000 or $80,000 a year. And others it might be much higher.

How much money would you need to make to feel like you made it in life?
           
    

I was just reading an article about a woman who checks her husband’s email and and phone every day.

(With action like him, how could she not be worried?)

She said she trusts her husband.  She just doesn’t trust other women. 

She said, “For, as far as I’m concerned, my husband’s emails, voicemails and texts aren’t just his business – they’re mine, too.”   Here is the link:  Link

Are her husband’s emails her business?
