Cash Mantra



Johnny Cash said it best!  I’ve been everywhere.  Being in the military I have traveled the world and learned and experienced numerous things while living abroad.   I have lived a life that most haven’t.  There are some in the military haven’t experienced what I have.  I got to live overseas for about 12 years and almost ten with my wife.  Living in the UK was fabulous. I have seen many fine works are art, the crown jews, Stonehenge, and Buckingham Palace to name a few. Then, living in Germany was great too.  Seeing castles, tasting the food, learning about some things from WWII, and the countryside is beautiful.  I would love to go back because there is so much more to experience.  In my travels, I have been and to so many iconic places, such as Notre Dame, the Eifel tower, I have seen the Mona Lisa, and Gaudi’s cathedral. I have even been in two places at once.  I got to stand on the Prime Meridian.  All while working for Uncle Sam.  Now that I’m older, I’m going back to school to finish a life goal.  I’m headed into a new chapter of my life and learning stuff from books now.  Traveling is going to take me elsewhere; wherever it may be that’s where I’m going.  God willing, when I get my degree, it will take me to more places in this world.  I believed that I have truly lived a blessed life with all the things that I have done and seen.  Who knows what else is on the horizon for my future?  Whatever it is, I can’t wait!  For now, I want to finish my degree post haste.  Then, I’m sure I have other life goals that I want to go toward.  Being at OU has been great for me because I feel that I have gotten some of my identity back.  Not that I ever lost it, but I can really do and say my own opinions that the military kept me from.  OU is adding to my sense of freedom. Being in school is allowing me to go forward in what I want to do.  College life is different, especially now that I am older.  I can now appreciate school for school and not some idea of getting away from my parents and starting a new life.  I have already gotten the tomfoolery and immaturity out of my system. In the experiences that I have had I can now appreciate life better and now I look forward to every day.  I look forward to spending more time with my wife and friends.  That’s where I’m going!

You know, I have always been an, "On the fence guy... a go along, get along guy but there is one thing I believe in. America! While I'm not perfect I believe that I should, could and would do my best to protect the RED, WHITE, and BLUE.  If I move to a different country then I'm expected to follow the rules.  If you want to live here in the US then do it properly and have patients.  If something is wrong in someone's country then they should affect change.  Be the change.  Vote!  Stand up for what you believe in.  You may not be the affect of change but you could be the start.  Just as our forefathers did they started a change.  Now, the change says no vacancy.  Why? because of the acts of malicious people who don't like us because we are different.  Not everyone is the same or is going to agree but this is my country and I believe in what we have here.  I may have disagreements with somethings in this country but I still love...

Allen's word of equality

My analysis of Danielle Allen's first part of her book is that she is talking about liberty and equality and the difference between the two. She hones in on equality and basically states that equality is the goal... it is better.  We want to be equal and we want freedom and liberty.  Equality is the fairness that we yearn for.  Equality is the treatment that transcends out of freedom and liberty. Allen further goes on to say that in the elections of 2012, Presidential candidate Mit Romney quoted a backdrop during a debate.                  We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —    http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/ I feel that Romney construed this text for his own gain rather than focus on the true meaning....
