The Mind Of Burrito

Obama will win in 2012

2011-05-10T23:34:00.000-07:00

Since the GOP have decided to be the party of pussies .. Obama will get another term . With his push for aminesty there will be 11 million more votes he can get by giving the members of the Border Jumpers INC Local 666 all the handouts we the working class can pay for . Add in the fact that 93% of the Black Community voted for Obama in 2007 plus you have the mindless MTV generation of socialist liberals who will cast a vote for the cool hip President . You see because this country has become a country led by Politcal Correctness the GOP will not push Obama too hard for fear of being Racists . Obama sucks not becuase he is Black .. and to be honest he's 1/2 black and 1/2 white so get over it . Obama sucks because he has no interest in fixing the rising debt / gas prices / loss of jobs .. Obama wants this country to be weak and broke .. and he is doing one hell of a job in making it happen

Pulled Pork Sandwich

2010-12-24T11:27:00.000-08:00

I love Bar-b-Q .. plain and simple . I wanted to make pulled pork and it was very cold outside so I decided to use a crock pot .. and it came out sooo good . So here is the receipe and enjoy !

Ingredients ( the rub )

1 Tablespoon of Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Ground Mustard
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 Tablespoon Salt
1/2 Tablespoon Pepper
1/2 Tablespoon Paprika

1 Medium Sweet Onion, Chopped ( for flavor only )

3 Pounds Pork Shoulder, Trimmed of Fat.

Method
1. Combine all ingredients except for onion and rub onto the pork .
2. Cook for 8 to 10 hours under "low" slow cooker setting. You can use a lil bit of " Liquid Smoke " and " Ginger Ale " to give it a lil' southern flavor
3. After meat is cooked, remove from slow cooker onto plate and break apart with fork. If meat has any bones, please discard at this time.
4. Serve on hamburger buns or Kaiser Rolls with " Sweet Baby Rays " Sauce
5. Enjoy

O.G. Chorizo Bacon Cheese Burger

2010-12-01T21:16:00.000-08:00

O.G. Chorizo Bacon Cheese Burger

What you need -
1 Pound Angus Ground Beef
1 Pound Fresh Chorizo casing removed
8-12 Slices of Pre-cooked Bacon ( depending if your making 4 or 6 burgers , 2 slices of bacon per burger )
4-6 Slices of Pepper Jack Cheese
Handful Chopped Cilantro
Salt & Pepper to Taste

** I like to throw in a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce & Texas Pete for a KICK **

Mix together, do not over-handle meat. Make into 4-6 patties.

What I have found is if you make the patties at the grill and throw them on the grill they come out so much juicier.

Grill over medium-high until chorizo is cooked through. You can add the cheese right before you take them off . I also put the hamburger buns on the grill too to toast them

I like using the pre-cooked bacon due to the fact that it's quick and easy . When burgers are done you can add the bacon to the top and use your favorite toppings.

this is how I build mine :

burger / cheese / bacon / fresh cut lettuce / sliced tomato / and I top it with a spoonful of Salsa Verde .

Enjoy It !!

Burrito's " South of the border Redneck Ribs "

2010-11-23T21:43:00.000-08:00

Ok here is how you make Burrito's " south of the border redneck ribs "

You'll need - 1 rack of Pork Spare Ribs

the night before your cookout prep the ribs with Burrito's Secret Rub !
get your wife's favorite tupperwear bowl ( large size ) and put in the following -

1 cup of Brown Suger ( for that southern love )
1/2 cup of Paprika ( for some spicy lovin )
1/2 cup of Black Pepper ( ground )
1/2 cup of Salt
1/2 cup of Ground Mustard ( keep the rub together )
1/2 cup of Chili Powder ( yup don't be a sissy use it ! )
1/2 cup of Garlic Powder ( no breath mints )
1/2 cup of Adobe Mexican Seasoning ( for the south of the border vibe )
1/4 cup of Oregeno ( ground )

put all of this and mix it good ( real good !!! )

Now before you place the rub you must have to remove the thin membrane that is on the under side of the ribs . This is done easily by using a paper towel to pull off the membrane . If this is not done your ribs will be tough .

after you have prepped your ribs now it's time to put the rub on . now it gets messy !

using a cooking sheet or a cutting board place the rack of ribs on it and start rubbing in the rub . DO NOT PAT IT .. RUB IT IN . after you have rub one side . place it in a deep roasting pan that has syran wrap at the bottom and place the side of the rack or ribs that has the rub facing the syran wrap . then continue to aplly the rub on the exposed side . when you are done make sure the rack of ribs is cover tightly with syarn wrap . then wrap the ribs with tin foil . place in fridge at least 7-24 hours before cooking . this will allow the rub to marinate .

the day of your cookout -

take ribs out of the fridge . open up the foil and remove the syran wrap . while you have the foil open pour in a 1/4 cup of tap water or you can use a 1/4 of lemon juice . this will keep the ribs moist and add to the rub.

wrap the ribs back up with the foil and pre heat your oven at 250 degrees . when oven is ready place ribs ( in the roasting pan ) into the oven for 4 hours . when the 4 hours are up take our the ribs and take them to your bar-b-que grill . with the heat on low place the ribs on the grill using your favorite bar-b-que sauce as a basting sauce .. grill for 20 min or so on each side and then EAT THEM !!!!!

NEW BLOG COMING

2010-11-18T21:23:00.000-08:00

2011 - Look for a total new blog from me . I love cooking and grilling . For me with 2 tattoos shops , my motocross biz and race team I need an outlet . Cooking is a complete outlet for me . I love cooking and watching people eat my creations . I never went to cooking school and even failed home ec in school . But after being injured and recuperating I started watching the Food Network channel and got hooked .. I started doing my own lil experiments and it took off from there . people have told me " Burrito you should start your own diner " .. but that will never happen .. for me cooking like I do is a Labor of Love .. if I had to do it for a living it would be just Labor and no Love . Well I hope you all enjoy my recipes and feel free to leave me comments !!

Fist City MX

2010-02-26T08:18:00.000-08:00

I love Motocross . Since I was a kid . My older brother got me into it and to me it's the best thing in the world. I started my own race team back in 2006 " Burrito MX " . Nothing huge just had some locals guys run my graphics and had some shirts made . That year we brought home some gold . The team grew in 2007 and we had brought home more gold . 2008 saw the team struggle with some injuries . Took the year off in 2009 . The past 3 years we brought home 13 championships and multiple 2nd's and 3rd's . 2010 is the year of change . New name - FIST CITY MX . I have stepped out to start my own online racing parts and gear company . I am helping a local rider and WMA Pro in the midwest . I am stoked !

2010

2010-02-08T21:39:00.000-08:00

Ok .. here is a recap of the last few months .

* I brought in the New Year by being in critical care unit for 8 days . I had a major side effect to some meds that I had re-adjusted .
* Took me about a week to re-adjust and just rest from being in the hospital .
* Work is still slow .
* The songs for the new 8-Ball Cholos are coming along . We have 5 songs down and 5 to go . Once I have all teh songs in my hands I will lay them out and start writing the lyrics
* The re-issue of our 1st relase " Satan's Whore " is supposed to be out this month
* In the last 6 weeks we have had 3 major snow storms
* I have been dying to ride my KTM . I would love to race a few races this year
* Elsie the pit bull we rescued is doing well . She has had some set backs but she is a strong lil' gal

Ok that is it ...

Will try and keep this blog updated

Where have I been ?

2009-12-15T09:42:00.000-08:00

Busy . Straight up busy . There is so much going on I have pretty much limited myself to updating on Face Book . Work is going kinda crappy . I used to get a base pay + commission , now I am 100% commission which sucks . I could work 40+ hours and make 100.00 . So I am revamping Burrito MX into Fist City MX and going to do my own gig on the side . I have become co-owner of my wife's 2 tattoo shops .. but with this bull shit economy of course biz is down . We took in a pit bull who was hit by a car and left for dead . She is with us now and everyday she gets better . So that is what I have been up to .

talk to you soon

My Life is the Pits ....

2009-06-07T22:29:00.000-07:00

It is . I have 2 adorable pitbulls who's photos appear in this blog . Both are " rescue " pits meaning they are from a pitbull rescue . Faith is a Brindle pitbull who was used as a breeder by some assholes who were fighting pitbulls . When Faith had a litter that was mixed she was shot twice and left for dead . She still has the scars in her upper back , but she is so loving no matter what those bastards did to her . Ace is my boy . He is a " Tripod " meaning he only has 3 legs . Ace was hit by a car and his owners took him to the vet and wanted Ace put to sleep instead of paying for him to get better . The vet ended up saving Ace and he is in our family . Ace get's along well and is so full of love . My wife and I have a deep love for PitBulls . They have gotten such a bad rap and really only came to lite thanks to that asshole Michael Vick . I would love to treat him like he did his dogs ..

I have become a volunteer with Misunderstood Pit Bull Rescue and to be me it's all for the Pits !!

Mixed Emotions

2009-05-04T19:21:00.000-07:00

Since my dad passed away last week , I have had so many mixed emotions . I am glad he is no longer in pain . I know he would want to be bed ridden any longer . I miss him so much . My pops and I had a very close relationship . I am honored to have been named after him . I know time heals all . Tomorrow he is being burried in Southern California . I won't be there . I just couldn't bear it .

R.I.P. POPS

2010 ... A Reality

2009-03-05T21:35:00.000-08:00

After much thoughts and struggling I have decided to forgo the 2009 Race Season . I am no where ready and with the season 6 weeks away it would be foolish to jump in and try and run a pace that I haven't been able to run at since Oct'07 . I am going to spend the rest of 2009 riding , riding and more riding . I am cutting down my dosage of Predisone and hope to start having the weight caused by it to start coming off . My focus needs to be to get back into the " groove " of riding and getting back on pace . Even though it bums me out a lil' bit I have to be smart and do this the right way . I am also going to redo my personal track so I can have easy access to ride when I want .

My New Lil' Girl

2009-02-12T21:00:00.000-08:00

Meet Faith . She was rescued from some pretty bad conditions by the awesome peeps at Misunderstood Pit Bull Rescue . She is awesome and very loving . I went out today and bought her about $70.00 worth of toys . Oh yeah she is going to be a queen . And well deserved !

2009-02-02T21:15:00.000-08:00

7 years ago today I married my soulmate . I met my Robbie when she did my 1st tattoo !. She was married at the time and so was I . I told her my wife would be pissed . Robbie said " she'll get over it " . A month later I went back for my 2nd tattoo , Robbie said " see she got over it " I said " nope were getting divorced ". We became good friends and hung out . We went to shows . We started dating in 2001 and were married on 02/02/02 . Vegas wedding w/ Elvis . This woman is my heart and has been my best friend for 15 years . My pitbull Ginger has been my baby for 8 years . She is like a daughter to me . Today we had to take her to the vets due to her having breathing issues , they gave her some meds and I pray to God she gets better. I don't want to lose my lil' baby . I would die for my 2 girls in my life . I love them so much .

A year of change ...

2008-12-17T18:59:00.000-08:00

2008 was supposed to be my year . After coming off of a great 2007 racing season I was blindsided by being diagnosed with Mystania Gravis which put an end to my 2008 season before it even started . What a real life change . Out of my hands . Which drove me nuts .. Yes I am a grade level B control freak . I hate change . I like structure and a routine . I embrace those two words Structure / Routine . So much for that . Having to adjust my life / my career / my goals .. almost every aspect of my life has changed . Sure I was bitter / pissed / sad / depressed . I am human . I don't believe in Karma .. but it did cross my mind . Going to the dr's sucked . Being on medication that caused me to gain 30 lbs which seemed like overnight . Clothes not fitting . I took a medical leave from work . On 12/1/08 I resigned from my position at my work . I was burned out but also my side affects were affecting me and still do . I am back on the bike and doing the sport I love . Sure I am fatter , get tired easier , but I am back ... In the above photo is my friend Scott . His life ( along with his wife & daughter ) changed too in 2008 . He was involved in a racing accident this past November. His is currently paralysed and the future of him walking again in unknown . When I get down about my MG I think about Scott . Like me he had no say so in what happened to him . But he's making the best of it .

Change happens.... not matter what we want it happens

I Love This Girl

Divorce is a bitch .The holidays have always been so rough and continue to be for me . Happy Birthday Rochelle ... no matter what you have been told I will always love you .

My Boss Is Cool

2008-12-03T11:07:00.000-08:00

Well effective 12/1/08 I no longer work for The Home Depot . I have been with them for 5 years . I have been involved with the retail biz for close to 31 years . I was beyond burned out . It affected my health near the end . My new gig is I am the National Sales Manager for Campbell Enterprises and I was brought in to develop their newly formed Powersports Division . I work from home . I am pretty much my own boss . I have my office set up in my room called " mantopia " . 2 computers , desks , fridge , big screen tv , phone , copier , etc. I wear shorts everyday . To me this is a dream job . Working from home. No one to really answer too . I am in contact with the owner but he gives me the freedom to do what I do best . Some have asked what about job security ? To me a job is as secured as the job you do . Ok I gotta get back to work .. my boss is watching :)

Change is Real ....

2008-11-24T21:19:00.000-08:00

I was all set to blog about the current news of Citibank , Obama , etc. But I am not . This morning I had a very important meeting to attend . On my way to the meeting I received a phone call from a very good friend of mine who I ride / race with . One of our very good friends had been severely injured the day before at a local race . His injuries included broken ribs / collarbone / femur / collapse lung but the worse injury he suffered was a stretched spine which has caused him to have no feeling from the chest down . He is a husband and a father and a great friend . This leveled me so bad . I had to focus on the meeting but my heart and thoughts were with my friend. Everything on the news right doesn't mean shit to me . My thoughts are with him and his family . I know his is in good hands . His photo is in this blog .

Barrack's Sloppy Seconds

2008-11-18T20:54:00.000-08:00

It's kind of weird that on the 30 year anniversary of the Jones town Massacre I am blogging about the Messiah Obama . You see a man by the name of Jim Jones led 900 people ( mostly Black ) to commit suicide by drinking kool aide laced with cyanide . Mr Jones preached " change " . He promised his followers a " new life / a new era ". What they got in return was lies and death .

Where have I heard that recently ? Oh yeah the Messiah Obama based his whole run on that word " change " . But what once touted " Yes We Can " is slowly becoming " No I Won't " . If you look at his administration you will see 3/4 of Bill Clinton's former cabinet. That is not the change we need . Why is this happening ? He has no idea what he's doing and is going to rely on the Washington Insiders A.K.A. the fat cats he was so against during the campaign . He has no real plan or experience . He is more concern with building his basketball court in the white house then how he is going to build our economy . The media are calling him the next FDR , the next Lincoln .. but yet what has he really done ? For 2 years he's been running for president all the while his state goes to pot . What is his record ? What has he really done ? Time will tell if Obama will succeed or fail .. but by the way he making his moves .. I would say fail

I bet the koolaid is leaving a bitter taste in your mouth just like Bill left a bitter taste in Monica's mouth

Bailout is a BUST

2008-11-17T09:40:00.000-08:00

Ok . I along with millions of Americans made up of democrats / republicans / independents / liberals / conservative / christian / Buddhist / black / white / brown / etc. are against this bailout . 700 billion dollars of OUR MONEY is just sitting there and with no real plan . Our congress has let us down . Poor leadership and poor management and most of all greed has put the economy is this situation . I am all for making money . I am a true capitalist but also know that being blinded by greed is a downfall . But who should get the bailout ? The big 3 auto makers ? what about Circuit City ? what about Citicorp who just announced they are laying off 53 thousand people ? how about the mom and pop stores that are struggling to keep their doors open ?

I have to laugh how some of the executive of the banks that are getting bailed out by our money are not going to take their yearly bonuses ! How nice of them !! AIG should get the middle finger and their leaders should be jailed for being shady same as those involved with Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac . But yet not one has been done to them .

I feel we are ready for a revolution . We need to let congress know we are PISSED !

What Is The Meaning Of The Word " Change " ?

2008-11-16T20:20:00.001-08:00

Webster says - Change - to make different in some particular / to make radically different .The Messiah Obama based his whole campaign on CHANGE . No more old Washington Politics , No more of the Old white guy politics , No more of the rich getting rich . Change coming , Changes what we need ,blah blah blah . Everyone drank it up . But Obama is full of shit . He isn't for real change . If he was why would he pick 31 people who worked with the Clinton admin ? His 31 people have over 700 years of Washington Politics ! So much for doing away with " old Washington mentality " . Obama talked like an outsider but is staffing his admin with insiders . Where's the change ? So we can expect a Clinton presidency with an Uncle Tom as the head ? Why wasn't Obama at the summit with all the other world leaders ? Why wasn't he in California with the fires ? or addressing the big issues with all the gays regarding prop 8 ? Why ? because he doesn't have a clue what his is doing . All of you who have e-mailed me about " it's time to get the old white guys out and give Obama a chance " all I have to say is " old white guys are staying .. they are in your boy's admin .. enjoy the " change "

Mccain thought outside the box with Sarah Palin . She is an outsider not a Washington insider . Now that is the change we needed . But people are scared of Palin . She has balls and doesn't back down and is Pro Life / Pro Gun / Pro Family and Pro God .
2012 can't come quick enough

All In A Days Work

2008-11-12T21:05:00.000-08:00

I enjoy what I do .. No I LOVE what I do . I have been working since I was 17 . I have had jobs that were cool and others that sucked ass . What I am doing now is the best . Not only do I get to work from my house but my work has alot to do with my passion Motocross . Some people may think man working from home is cake .. but trust me I put in alot of hours . My normal day is 9:00am until about 1:00am . I work almost 7 days a weeks but it's different then punching a clock . I save money on gas , driving , clothes . I wear shorts everyday , I watch my big screen tv , listen to streaming music on my computer and make $$$ . I pretty much run the company and am the main contact for sales . My clients are from the US , Europe and beyond . It's cool to be able to not have to work for a company that doesn't appreciate you . I am blessed and thank God for my job .

Thank You

2008-11-11T06:52:00.000-08:00

To all the men and women who have served , who are serving and who have given their precious lives in protecting our freedom . You all have a speical place in my heart and in the heart of alot of americians .

What A Week

2008-11-09T20:38:00.000-08:00

Wow . This past week was pretty crazy . We saw " history " being made with our 1st Black ( actually half-ricain ) president being elected ( thanks to 3/4 of the media , acorn , and other very bias outlets ) . Either way it's done . I can't wait until 2012 . This past week saw the demise of the liberal republican party and what I hope it the focus of going back to the roots of true conservatism . Sarah Palin proved to be the leading force of what the party needs . Now that the election is over it's time to get back to trying to make a few $$$ ( so we can spread it to those that sit on their asses doing nothing ) . I have a pretty big descision to make in a few weeks regarding my career in retail . I am also cutting back on my meds and am continuing to ride . I was going to go today but felt a lil' under the weather so I just laid low and chilled. Ok time to catch up on some business e-mails ( like 50 of them !! )

Weekend

2008-11-07T21:38:00.000-08:00

Going to be a busy weekend - Yard work , clean and work out in garage . On Sunday planning on going riding . Fun Times

Back To " Normal "

2008-11-06T19:25:00.000-08:00

Ok the election is over . I like other true conservatives must endure the next 4 years under an Obama Adminstration . 2012 can't get here quick enough . I will let the professionals like Ann Coulter , Rush Limbaugh and other true conservatives blog and speak out about the liberal left and their nonsense . I am getting back to blogging about life in general . One of my goals is to work hard not only for a championship in 2009 but to travel to Southern California next October for the 2009 World Vet Motocross Championship.

MX IS MY LIFE

2008-11-01T21:35:00.000-07:00

I went with some homies down to Littleton , NC . We spent the day riding and chillin . I love MX and am glad to be back doing it . I got to ride twice this week and really enjoyed it . MX to me is a drug . It's hard to explain how it makes a person feel . All I know is that I can't get enough of it !!

Back To NC

2008-10-31T18:56:00.000-07:00

Myself and a few homies are heading down to Littleton NC to have some mototime . Weather will be around 72 degrees .. Can't wait . One buddy I haven't seen in almost a year ! Will be so much fun .

Today just straight rocked . My buddy and myself drove to Littleton , NC home to my favorite MX track called Lake Gaston . The 1.5 hour drive was filled with talks about the whole election deal . As we were driving we had a good laugh at all the Obama / Bidden lawn signs and my "NOBAMANATION '08" decals on my truck LOL . The weather was nice , the sky was blue and the track was awesome . My offical workout program starts on 11/02 and getting time on the bike is the most important . My health is feeling good I just need to drop some pounds and build up my endurnace . The track is a 2.5 mile long GP style track which I love . It's a mixture of hardpack / loam / sand / big hills / big ass braking bumps a very fast track . I really love my YZ450F it handles awesome , smooth power . I feel 2009 will be my year to bring home a championship . I have a long road ahead of me but I have the heart and drive to make it . I am stoked !!

Overload

2008-10-24T22:42:00.000-07:00

Time to take a few days off and chill . Today ( Friday ) was like a Monday .. it pretty much sucked ass . But it's all good , I went to my favorite mexican food place and bought a awesome order of chili verde ( my comfort food ) . Spent tonight starting to redo my home office . Bought a cool Ipod Dock for my 30GB Ipod I have never used .. it has over 4000 songs !Thanks to my buddy Joe for hooking it up . I bought a new computer desk . See I am doing my part to jump start the economy ! God Bless Wal-Mart . With all this mess over the stock market / bailout / etc. it's can get very very depressing . Time for some Moto therapy !!

When The Dust Clears .....

2008-10-22T23:01:00.000-07:00

My friends are still my homies . We can agree to disagree . But in the end my circle of friends are just that .. My friends . I love to debate . I love when my friends push my thoughts and views . I am very passionate about what I stand for and I get pissed when people have views they can't defend . Stand for something or fall for anything . The debates have become more heated over this election . I will voice my views and concerns and thoughts until I take my last breath . Freedom allows us to do that .

The Freedom we enjoy was paid with blood of brave men and women and to them I thank you . Let us never cheapen it or allow anyone to cheapen it .

All About Me ...

2008-10-21T20:52:00.000-07:00

Wow with all the stuff going in the elections and stuff I could write 5 blogs alone . But I am going to refrain from it at least for one day . This one is about me . On Monday I went to my appointment @ UVA neurological center and met with the a few of the Dr.'s there . After checking out my records and checking me out it was determined that my MG is in check and I can start reducing my intake of the meds I take . This is fanstastic news and I gotta give props to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for watching out for me . the dr. said for me to continue riding and to start getting back in shape for the '09 season . I have to meet with my bosses @ Home Depot to set a time frame when I will be heading back to work . To be honest I don't want to go back . I enjoy being my own boss . So I gotta seek some wisdom from the Lord and see what path I will be taking .

Where Does Your Faith Lie ?

2008-10-19T19:17:00.000-07:00

Christianity is pretty basic . Love God with all of our hearts and strive to live like him . Simple . But if you look around the " faith " of many have been shaken beyond - Stock Market , Housing Market , 401k's .. it reminds me of the scene in Amercian Beauty where the kid is at the table with his dad who is reading the paper and the kids say " well dad what is going on in the world today " and the dad says " son this world is going straight to hell " . Alot of people feel that . The world is coming to an end . But our hope and faith must lie within the solid foundation is Christ . Sure I think about what is happening and I know we are all 1 paycheck away from whatever you want to call it .. but If God takes cares of the birds and the lil' critters how much more will he take care of his kids ?

Take one minute and put aside all the BS that so easily entangles us and sit back or go outside and look around and what we have all be blessed with . I do and it's awesome . The photo is of one of my favorite places to be .. the race track

Meghan McCain / Millions That Could Have Been Better Spent

2008-10-19T10:26:00.000-07:00

Ok straight up Meghan McCain is hot . I enjoy reading her blog about being on the road with her dad . That is the Beautiful Ms. McCain in the photo to the right . End of story .

Ok Barrack Obama has spent over $650 million dollars in quest in becoming the president of the USA . John McCain has spent $85 million on his quest . I honestly believe this money by both parties could have been spent in better ways . Maybe food banks , childcare , cancer research , pit bull rescues , etc. Too much money has been spent by both parties on ads that are nothing more then mudslinging BS . People are pissed and want real answer to real issues .

Maybe in 2012 both parties should have a joint effort and have 10 - 15 townhall meetings through out the country where real people can ask real questions to those who want to be president and vice president . What I like about the Joe the plumber is that he asked an honest question and got an honest answer . Think what you want about the guy . It got people thinking .

Almost $ 700 million dollars spent to sell yourself to the country . Let's spread the wealth the middle class . With that much to spread .. could have gone far .

Lazy Day

2008-10-18T21:01:00.000-07:00

Today was one of those days that was juts a lazy chill day . It was overcast and cold . The bed felt warm , I normally get about 6 hours sleep . But today was a sleep in day . For lunch I made myself pancakes , taters , turkey sausage and english muffins .. straight grub time . Tonight was just chill and chill and chill . Tomrrow ? More of the same .

TGIF

2008-10-17T13:56:00.000-07:00

Yup it's the weekend . Even though it's been rainy and overcast and cold today it's still a awesome day . I hope to go riding this sunday and get some motos in . Gonna work on my bike and just chill . Life is good .

The Health Care System Blows

2008-10-16T21:12:00.000-07:00

As some of you know I was diaganoised with Mystania Gravis . MG is a from the Muscular Dystrophy family . My immune system attacks itself and at times cuts off the nerve signals from my brain to my nerve ends in my voluntary muscles . The MG has been a real adjustment in my life . I am on medication to maintain it . I am on 50mg of predisone which is helping . My insurance company pays for almost zero of my visits to my neurologist or my tests or my meds . Why pay for insurance if they are not going to cover your needs when your sick ? On Monday the 20th I have to go to UVA Neurological center for an EMA test . And guess what ? My insurance won't pay . But thanks God UVA receives grant money to pay for those who's insurance won't cover or for those who don't have insurance .

There has to be a better plan

The Rise of Joe The Plumber / The Fall of John McCain

2008-10-15T22:28:00.000-07:00

Ok . It's 1:31 am and I am over the debate . I want to make it very clear that John McCain wasn't my 1st choice to be president . I wanted either Duncan Hunter or Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee . I am a " Reagan " Conservative . McCain is a " Liberal Republican " . After watching the final debate I have to admit Obama made his overall plan very clear to the American public . McCain didn't . Did Obama " sway me " NOPE. I still feel Obama is not the person I want as president . But I do feel he will win . People are pissed and angry about the economy .. so am I . Joe the plumber ( like myself and my wife ) don't want to get taxed and share the wealth with the thousands in this country who don't even pay taxes ! John McCain didn't really make his plan clear to the public . And that my friends was his downfall .

Oh well there is always 2012

Obama Hates The Small Business Folks

2008-10-14T21:32:00.000-07:00

Ok if Kayne West can say " George W. Bush Hates Blacks " on national TV I can say that about Obama . So Obama is confronted by an angry small business owner about Obama's plan to raise taxes on those business that make $250,000.00 or more . Obama's answer is " I don't want to punish your hard work I just want those behind you to have a chance to succeed " " we have to share the wealth " . Those of us in business for ourselves bust our asses everyday to keep our dreams alive . Days off are few . Vacations ? Holiday off with pay ? I work at times 10:00am - 2 :00am in my biz and hit the sack and get back up and do it again at times 7 days a week why ? Because it's my passion and my living . My wife has owned her tattoo business for 20 years . She has put in her blood , sweat , tears and alot of $$$ into it . Sure it will gross over $300,000.00 but take out rent , supplies , employee pay , utilities , advertising and other expenses that 300 K goes real quick . To be taxed more to " share the wealth " or " so others can have the chance to succeed " makes no real sense to not just myself but to alot of my friends who have their own biz . You want to succeed ? Bust your ass . I have worked hard for everything I own . No handouts , No government freebies . Just a strong work ethic and desire to live better. It hasn't been an easy road . I have failed many times and have fallen on my ass but I kept getting up . I am sick of having people trying to make us feel guilty for having what we have . We are far from rich , but what we have we have earned ourselves and thank God for his blessings . Obama's plan is to take from the hard workers and give to the lazy unmotivated people .. but there is already a plan for them it's called WELFARE .

To all of you who are in business for yourselves ( Joe the Plumber photo above ). Stay strong and keep working hard . You are not alone .

Who would have thought we would have someone running for president who's " plan for the middle class " is to take our hard earn money and give it to someone else without asking us ?

Goodtimes

2008-10-13T22:16:00.000-07:00

God I love country music . Yup I have a real love for it . When I am working I have it streaming on my computer pretty much all day ( I work from my home office ) . It's funny but alot of the music really speakes to me and keeps me grounded . Life is too short and I believe God wants us to live each day like it was our last . We are all like a vapor . I recently have been able to ride again . I have to thank God for allowing me the chance to do this . I love motocross and love racing . It is my passion and my job ( selling racing parts ) . When I ride it is such a release . I am excited to get my plans in place for 2009 . I have some real supportive sponsors who have stuck by me during this season even though I didn't race at all .

Bailout / Bitchin / Bush

2008-10-13T13:55:00.000-07:00

Wow we are so close to electing the new leader of our great country . I am honored to be able to vote and want to thank all of those who have spilled their blood so we can have our freedom . I am a registered Independet who is a Hardcore Conservative . I have never voted for a democRAT . BUT I do have issues with the Republician party . Ronald Regan will in my heart ALWAYS be the best president this nation ever had . Regan had balls and had no problem slapping people in the face with them . Now this country has become a pretty Pussified nation in regards to standing for what is Right and Morale . That is where the Republicans have let us down . the Era of Regan Conservatisim has died. It's all about the Race / Gay card now . If your Black you get a hand out for the " sins " from slavery . If your Gay you can now marry your " life " partner . If your Mexican and jump the border you can live here and take the jobs from those too lazy to get off of walfare to work . We have allowed this to happen . I have NO issues with with people wanting to better themselves or wanting to have the american dream . But earn it by your work not buy your color or sexual preference .

People want to blame one man for our problems - George W. Bush is the devil who has done the damaged .. BS ! If you truly believe one man can do it then you are really a DUMBASS. Granted I think Dubya has made a few big mistakes . But so did Clinton , Carter , Kennedy , Johnson , etc. I mean Clinton was facing impeachment .. Wake up ! For the past 2 years we have had a senate and congress that is run by the democRAT party - Pelosi and her croonies have the lowest approval rating from any other hose / senate in history . Geez but it's all Dubya's fault ?

When will Osama Bin Bama stop his bitching about the last 8 years of a George W. Bush government ? I mean Bin Bama has written 2 books and has made a ton of money under ol' Dubya's so called tax breaks . What a hypocrite . Keep the " change " Bin Bama .

The bailout - WTF ? Chris Dodd / Barney Frank / Osama Bin Bama and the other democRATS and a few money blinded Republicans have really bent us over on this deal . My money goes to bailout AIG and other ill managed companies ? What about bailing out the middle class ? How about the small business owners ? I mean we are the back bone of this nation . But yet we get the shaft . I pay my taxes every month how about a lil' break ?

9/11 Should have been the wake up call that never goes away .. but it did . What is next ?

The picture in the corner is dedicated to the Osama Bin Bama / Joe Biden Ticket
