The Goose is on the soap box.

Well as my wife reminded me i have not been on here for awile so here it is.. well ok i wanted to say hi and i swear to you a full blog post coming friday.. yes i have off from my new job yes more on that coming soon..

The world we live in has become somewhat weird the past year. Yes I know you are going to say but Jeremy its always been this way, and I have to say not like this I can tell you things are getting worse. Before I get to that today’s quote is from the movie Chicken Little.. Because we always know the sky is falling..

I think I have to explain more into this so sit back and let’s go on a trip together:

1. The weather now there a lot of people that are saying global warming and no matter what side you are on that debate you cannot disagree with that fact that something is going on. Now some say it’s man made with HARPP and those without tin foil hats say it’s just normal cycles and the peace loving folks say is our burning of coal and oil causing the planet to go nuts. Well I am here to say after having a year and yes it’s not over yet but we are 21 plus inches over our normal rain fall totals now what that said we have days like yesterday where it rained in the morning was great outside and then rained at lunch, so thinking no more rain it just rained before bed. So just yesterday at my house we had 1.10 inches of rain… So whatever the issues are we have to wake up to the fact something has changed or is changing.

2. Left vs. Right – This debate has been going on for years and years but seems like the players in the debate are getting bolder and also starting to make things stir… I know a lot out there don’t follow things like most but with this fight heating up you have to understand every person that out there is waking up. Look at the protest in NYC right as of now.. Its been going on for one full week and the people there are not only getting upset but are getting bolder too. I think if this country wants to avoid a bigger fight the leaders of this great nation need to stop looking at RICH, Themselves and well the Elite of this country and look at EVERYONE as a country and not parts here and there.

3. Also things we do not know.. Even people who follow current events there seems to be a extra special out of the way to cover or not broadcast things that might be important to us. For example there is a mega volcano that is in Indonesia the last time it went off was back in the 1800′s and it was so big that places like Boston would get snow in June because of the ash cloud not Nasa and other organizations have been watching this but no word out to the public.. Why? Now some would say because panic would come out but what if people who care would make ready for a possible big issue down the road.

Also while I am on this subject the solar storms/winds For the past 3 months the activity has been on the uptick and yes we have heard of some warnings but what about things that might have happened because of it. There has been reports that two different planes had to make emergency landings because of it. Also some more reports of satellites having issues. So why no news on that?

I have to say the days of when you could trust something are gone. The news has become more of a TV show for junkies and they only carry the stories that cause either outrage or just pure entertainment. Why do we not know the facts. Well some will say because again that will cause panic and others will say it is not ratings material. I think the news should just be that news not with a message or swing in option that is how over time they have got people to agree with things like the patriot act and laws that force you to lose freedoms and people go along smiling because this person is having an affair and this person has a sex tape.

I know most of this is old rants but it’s getting worse and worse the past couple months but I have found a cycle and its really understandable cycle. So let me explain,

When Something really really big is about to happen like Jobless is going to double or someone is laying off 40,000 people the news outlets will run a lot of human/celebrity news.. Like now the Michael Jackson death case is the biggest news out there 24/7 coverage , rope line entrance and well all hype but on the back burner the government has one week to get something set to prevent a shut down. So as you can see it’s a rope a dope.

Well the only thing we can do at this point people is educate yourself and others with facts. Dont fall into rumors and fake forwards on Facebook and stupid shit.. Like I was told face book is going to charge and there is a gold level for users. PEOPLE you are stupid Why would the biggest single most user based site charge and push people away when 1000′s of companies are jumping on the advertising bandwagon with Facebook. Now yes they charge for advertising but fan pages , personal pages and all the games people drool over is not going to be charged for. The reason being people the more idiots they have on the site more they can charge advertisers for traffic based marketing. DUH!

So with that said please pay attention and follow current events online/offline and also in your local area. Also get ready because the mood of the Country is on an edge like never since the little splat we had in 1776.

Well keep your eyes open, smile, chin up, gun by your side, ear to the ground, GOD in your heart, eyes on the prize, have your American flag waiving, boots tied tight and Scream I am not going to take it anymore, The reason tin foil hats are even present is because our leaders and companies lie every day they are around. If the truth took over and you had proof then we only would have baseball caps to wear.

Well as you may know I am a big LIONS Fan and I had to say after being upset , wrecked and well just plain crazy. This is the first year since the 80′s that the Detroit Lions had started the season 3 wins and no loses.. I know they are going to find a way to fall and wreck my sprit this season but as of now I have to say I am soooo happy they are doing good and playing some great football. Oh and for all the hecklers out there still messing with me from Thanksgiving last year well just wait.

Also speaking of teams that like to depress me the Boston Red Sox’s were leading the division at one point and then were 9 games ahead of the wild card race and then as of today are dead even with Tampa Bay for the wild card. Yes they lost 20 some games in the month of September, that is the worst since 1959 for them.. GO SOXS. I know they are going to see the world series but don’t know if it is from the team club house or from the field. I am hoping that they can pick it up and win the next two games to make the show. PLEASE PLEASE make it I love post season baseball but not when the F***ing Yankees are in it..

Well with that out of the way I have to say this Summer sucked, yes I know I promised a long time ago to have some positive comments here but it has been a trying summer.

We have been really trying to pay off our bills just to be socked with some major ones right at the end of summer plus with that in mind we had No garden again , No luck with the front yard grass and well no time/money to go camping. I can tell you the repeating theme this year is scary… Just like in 2008 when the world fell apart we are having the same issues!

Stocks are down again – 11% since the start of 2011
Lies are coming from Washington DC – Well that never really changed
No camping – In 2008 we only had like 6 camping trips and this year we had 5, I just can’t begin to tell you how depressed I am about that when last year we had 16 trips out.

So as you can see I am having my dark cloud feelings right now, but with that there is some positive that came out:

Alex play set/area is done and up and going – She loves to get outside and play on it.
The back yard was started and is 2 phases closer to be almost done
The car and camper both got new tires for the year so we are good there for a long while.
The drive way got fixed – Yes after 6 years of having issues the pipe and stone/walls are done (Well 95% done I have to finish the concrete on the one side)
The house got its 1st ever FULL press clean out and we got rid of a lot of shit
New washing machine
and the basement is in phase 4 of being done including the new all purpose room we now have.

So all in all the year has not been a bust but hopefully Fall/Winter will being more productive times and more things getting done.

On other fronts we have the GOP and Obama going into full campaign mode and its only October of 2011 there is a Full 12 months before the election and as of now I can seriouly tell you the GOP has no one besides RON PAUL that is looking good.

Yes you heard it here folks I am as of now supporting Ron Paul for president. Obama has shown to me at least that there is no leadership and well as he may be fighting for the middle class he seems to be making a deals and rules that only help out the bigger class of people. I think he has shown me that you can have a great idea but poor follow though.

Well also as I am here there has been a lot of talk about another government shutdown and as of today they passed a one week plan to keep the lights on. So as the repeating theme is I want to point this out May/June was the same deal and we heard all summer if this or that doesn’t get done the end is coming. So I say once again let them shut it down and clean up the mess in the halls.

Speaking of Clean up the poor folks of Nepa had had the worst floods since 1972 and well seems like the 15 Plus inches we are over with rain fall is causing it. This year has been a super weird year with weather First we had winter till end of May again and then Summer was wet but HOT 110 plus some days for over the month of July and August and now wet wet wet and well more wet seems like the good lord is trying to wash the crap away.

Well everything has been leading up to the year coming to a close with 3 months to go I usually at this point either look back and hope the year doesn’t end or speed up wishing for the end to come and well this year is not a bust so I am going to quietly wait and see what comes down the pike. I am really not looking forward to January because my best friend Jerome is leaving for Afghanistan for a year so I really really and not happy about that. But as he would say .. “THE WARM BLANKET OF FREEDOM IS NOT FREE”

Well keep your eyes open, smile, chin up, gun by your side, ear to the ground, GOD in your heart, eyes on the prize, have your American flag waiving, boots tied tight and Scream I am not going to take it anymore, Because if the Lions who lost all 16 of their games 2 years ago can be perfect for the first 3 games of this year means anything is possible so don’t look at the gray clouds but the sun right behind it… Keep up the happy thoughts the year is almost over.

Well I know what you’re saying two days in a row and that hasn’t happened since like April but Well I wanted to get this blog going again. I know the summer is always rough because of being out and about but well now that things are getting back to normal I have a lot to say!

So Where to start, Yesterday I went over some updates and wanted to say I felt really good getting something’s out there and well working on getting back to some thoughts but today I have to remind everyone is the Demo Derby at the Westend Fair also you can check out their facebook page to get the times and pricing. Yes I know what are you are going but Jeremy you haven’t been in the Demo for years and years Well it’s been a while but I will say this once we get some work done at the house we will be back and crashing like normal. YOU CAN BANK ON THAT!

So I wanted to also update you guy on the “Article of Fear” that I have been working on and Yes I know I have said a couple times but every time I get almost done I have more to add. So just as normal I got all but the last paragraph done and then more in the news. So I have decided that I am going to keep working on it and publish it as a story vs. blog post. I hope you guys out there can be ok with that because I have spent a lot of time getting info together and also making sure I fact check/research the entire article.

Speaking of Rants and news items I have started to look into something that I think might be a super big issue coming up and that is the entire stock exchange. We have had 3 or 4 weeks of down market just to bounce back in one week. I go back to my other thoughts of greed and how they are making it go down and bet big on the upswing but what are the greedy going to do when there is no more money for them to suck off of? Well watch out and see Jobless claims are up again and less jobs were created than thought and the markets is on a rally? How can the market go up on super bad news? I will tell you it’s because they are all together on making things work in the direction of the super rich. Also watch they will be a big issue coming up next month or October and the “world will end” If there are no more bailouts or Stimulus packages

And Speaking of Super rich, Our leaders have been found by an independent reporting outfit that we have over paid 60 Billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last 10 years. Now I do not know how that is possible because if a tank cost one million dollars why pay 1.2 million for it. Someone is getting the extra 200,000 thousand and well keeping them in a very good lifestyle. The GOP or at this point the Party of No says they are all about cutting spending and I say .. Let’s look right out our GOP friends and how they get over 50% Funding from defense companies.. Hmm sounds like someone will get a big donation for re-election.

I have to say this too, I know Obama has failed us as a leader and yes this blog/me as a person is losing faith in him as the days pass but I will have to say this. HE IS NOT THE ISSUE TO ALL THE PROBLEMS. These leaders and people who go on TV and say “Obama or his party are the reasons our country is falling apart” I say no its everyone who sits there doing nothing and saying nothing that is at fault! Think about Civics and school you are told time and time again vote and have a say on what is going on but 60% of America is to asleep to wonder why we are having bills that say Super congress and other shit. So when things fall completely apart and we have a huge fight between corporate America and their puppets and the “Common man” I will tell you maybe you should have paid more attention and got your head out of the newest Iphone when you camped overnight to be the 1st one to buy it and then make a video of you smashing it just to say you did.

My buddy said the other night if 50% of America stood up and said no in the streets today 100% of our leaders would stop and rethink their takeover of the system. You have to know there are 400,000 to 1 on the level of congress and 365 million to one on the level of the white house. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD. So going forward we are going to spend some time on calling out groups and people that well just don’t give a damn on this big issues that make a difference to us and well our way of life. I know that freedom is a big value that we take for nothing but when its gone and yes its getting taken away every bill they sign into law you will have to make a choice. Am I a sheep or a shepherd? I know this Shepherd has a big stick and is ready to stand his ground even if I have to protect some of my friends/sheep. One thing I have learned is fear is used as a tool to contorl you but if yoiu know what is and isnt right you well never live in fear and can follow your own heart to know what is right.

Well keep your eyes open, smile, chin up, gun by your side, ear to the ground, GOD in your heart, eyes on the prize, have your American flag waiving, boots tied tight and Scream I am not going to take it anymore, So we can make some of the Biggest issues of our time as small as a pen forcing the leaders to reverse or even forget about plans to make bigger mistakes/issues for us and our kids.

Well its been another couple days and thought what the heck I will try to make a post and let everyone know what is going on:

So you may be asking where today’s Quote came from its from NJ Governor Chris Christie in a speech encouraging those down at the shore to leave ahead of Hurricane Irene. Yes that is right we had the Hurricane Irene come and drop a ton of rain but not so much wind. I was nervous about this one because we never get that strong of storm and with all the trees we are at a serious risk of getting them to fall down on things. So as a rule we went into PGB level 5 at our home and stuck out the storm. So far the only damage at our house was Andrea’s Dad trailer got moved and the rear bumper got some damage. LOL it was already beat up so no biggie.

We are in our 1st week with our new Exchange students Tam and Laura. They are having a blast already and getting use to American Life. We cannot wait to go on some bigger trips and have some fun with them. I can also say they are quiet now but man I hate to see them in June when they cannot keep from talking..LOL

Also on the list we are working on PGB items as we have been putting some money to the side and getting some water cleaning items and working on Bug out bag stoves and minor stuff. We have also moved into getting the Remington 700 I cannot begin to tell you how great this rifle is and man I am going to love it when I finally get it.

Well as far as rants go I can officially say I really only have one and that is more of local rant about our stupid State and the PENN DOT and how they do not know how to have safe roads. So why am I so ripped Well they thought to “Save” money they would do the classic tar and chip repair but this time they did not do the patches where they remove , black top and then stone the top .. All they did was lay down a inch of tar and dump stone on top. Now any stupid person knows when the tar wears away its only stone and unless we are going to all dirt roads its super dangerous because the stone will slide where it already has in parts and cause accidents. So to the Smart people at Penn Dot please think before you waste a lot of money and lives on stupid repairs.

I also have some news on the Company with no name they are going to be having some big changes coming up soon but as you all know from past blogs they always seem to stick it to us in the end and this time is no different. So keep watch for a big rant about that I just can’t now because the changes are not official.

Well keep your eyes open, smile, chin up, gun by your side, ear to the ground, GOD in your heart, eyes on the prize, have your American flag waiving and boots tied tight, Because when she comes blowing in and roughs you up all you can do is ride her out and make sure that you stay safe.. Oh ok perverts I am talking about the Hurricane…LOL
