The Rock

2010-04-30T06:37:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I have last updated everyone here, so I guess I am using both Multiply and Blogger to update everyone about what is going on.

Wow so where should I begin.

First off I want to tell everyone how thankful I am for each and everyone of you that offered condolence to my grandfather passing. Things have been rough for me since then, we all most lost my grandma about a week ago and she still not out of the woods yet.

My cousin Max went into hiding little after the funeral of my grandpa and we could not get hold of him, we left messages on his cell phone and no return calls, we asked everywhere that he hung out where he would be at, and no prevail.

On Wednesday night someone found him near grandpa's grave site hung himself near a tree.

I knew he was close to grandpa like myself, I even reached out to him telling him to come with me back home to San Francisco, but he never did reach back to me, he went into hiding and this is what happen.

Never go into hiding, I have wanted to go into hiding myself, and with the help of some of my friends on here and the one who I just met on a bus of all places while I am suffering from a ear infection hurling in a brown paper bag, I met Adam, who of course gone through about situations like myself in growing up. We have discussed a lot about this since I have met with him. He even came over to my place, and hung out in the back alley of my place.

Oh yes, I have had to deal with a ear infection, this left ear since start of April been bothering me and I cannot seem to be able to get it to leave off. I finally got a doctor who took care of it and it seems to be helping with the antibiotics that he given me.

I have also changed my depression meds to Welburtin, it's suppose to be kind to quit you smoking or use to be, but it's used also for depression. I have not seen any changes yet, all though when I was on Zoloft, could not get little Ikester up at all, it would just stay limp lol

I have seen improvements on this forefront yesterday matter in fact!

You kno I care a lot about everyone of you. I never want to loose the connection of everyone of you, I have lost to many people like I have said to Joe. You guys are my rock, you guys keep me going. It's good to have face contact here with me with Adam, but at the end of the day, it's you guys who keep me going.

It's good to have all of you in my life, I am truly blessed.

Now enough with the sappy stuff, I am thinking about bringing back Thirsty Thursday, should I or should I not? What the hell, I will bring it back even if you say NO!

I end it off with the saying.
Love You ALL

One of the Hardest Day's in My Life

2010-04-15T14:00:00.000-07:00

People, they come and go here online, and I am dealing with two bad situations in my life right now and it's very hard for me at this time.

I am very strong, and I need stay this way during it all, but it's not going be the same. Actually I am not for sure what is going happen to the one situation just yet, I shall know more when the time comes.

My grandfather of course I have known for years, they are the ones who I have truly loved for years. I am going miss him, I will remember the times that we had on this great earth together, and walk with my head held higher.

I don't know why God takes the ones who we care, love, need in our lives away from us.

I would like to know. I guess it's a mystery that we shall find out someday.

Then of course this morning, one of my friends told me something that was shocking, I won't name anybody at this time, but I am taking it really hard right now. I have another night of worrying and then some. Multiply and Yahoo Messenger will be quiet, maybe it's time just pack everything up and leave, but that would be stupid.

I will continue doing the blogs, I will continue doing what I do like to do and that is share my thoughts, farming from my Grandfather, and share my thoughts with my friends.

He truly is my best friend, and I love him for being my best friend.

So if you have anybody that needs a hug today, give them a hug back, and I wish I could give my friend a hug, because that is what I need right now is a hug from him. I given my grandmother a hug and I gave her a extra big one since I could not do it with my best friend.

This is a video that makes me cry just listening and watching it, and I would like to share it with all of you.

Easter Weekend

2010-04-03T07:21:00.000-07:00

This is Easter Weekend my friends and we should all know the true reason for celebrating Easter is because Jesus died for us on the cross. It may be for kids Easter eggs coloring and the candy, but for the adults it's the true meaning of Easter is because of this man to the left.

Don't get me wrong, kids should have the chance to have fun with Easter, but just a reminder make sure you tell your children sometime this weekend why Easter is this time of year.

Just like Christmas this is a holiday that I hold true to my heart at this given time of year. We see warm weather on it's way which by far is the best thing!

I see so much of of the mainstream media and the like not even talking about why Easter is what it should be, it's like we have forgotten that we have higher power above that will take care of us, and that we should be listening too.

The Catholic faith been tarnished with sex abuse scandals that should not be even in the news, but here we are something for the media to run with and they will, they will bring down a faith because they think they are so powerful.

Don't get me wrong, I think what did happen in the past should have not happened, but it's past us, we need to forgive and forget now, for the ones who were abused all the forgiveness that is given will not be enough, for the Catholic faith to continue, we must move on now, have strict policy against actions like this.

They will come a day and zero hour that the heavens above will bleed red with anger, pain if we continue on the way we are today. War's against each nation and wars against each other needs to stop, and let God do his work, listen, act, spread it, it's the message that I am going to carry for the next year everyone this coming year.

May God Bless You all and have a great Easter

AG Day 2010

2010-03-21T07:28:00.001-07:00

Think most of us our guilty from yesterday not celebrating AG Day 2010 yesterday! Yes it was yesterday hard to believe it was so early this year, most of the time it's in the middle of April, but this year they moved it to March and the first day of Spring.

I think also it was the first time we have heard about it because Agricultural does seem to be waning here in the United States, the main stream media we don't hear anything about it, they don't report any of the events that was taking place in the DC area over the week.

Question begins to arise on who is it to blame that we don't have a voice in the community. I think it really does start off with the government and the media itself. They are more concern about the health care reform, which I do think needs to be reported, but we ignore the situations on how farming was one of the staples in the United States, well for that matter any where. The world itself needs to stop building, limit the amount of the population!

Okay, first off, I am not going to be the one either and I don't think I see anyone else doing the same, to decrease a population of people in one country, like our country. So the thing that the government does need take control over is protection while having sex. Yes some of you think protection is not the thing that needs to be done, religion and the like comes to mind, Catholic faith comes to mind since I am Catholic, we do seem to be a big guilty party for this. The factor of not having a child at this time ever so much needs to be a concern. Or at least limit. How can you force such a thing? Maybe just have two children in a house hold. I know that can be a hard thing to swallow, all of us hope we have a boy and girl and that would be it, for some of us it seems like we have one child and then have another one just to notice it's another one of the same gender, so we keep trying until we get one that is not the same gender.

What needs to be done is a refund or a tax break for a family that is only four. Big tax breaks, that may help indeed to decrease the population.

We have so many children in third world countries, well were not that far behind, but we have so many children that needs a home I so much wish the red tape in the governments would be less for people truly who does want to adopt a child in a poor country.

That is another kind of way to decrease the population also in the world. Were just in a state of chaos the world and the United States, and no one really knows how were going to get ourselves out of it.

If we just remember how this country was involved, and what needs to be done, then and only then we can figure solution out with our problems. If we just go back to the grounded earth it will be only then that it shall work for all of us!

We have so many ideas on how fix the situations were in, now it's time act on it and do it, and see what can be done to fix what were in.

Maybe it is time for GOD to come down and tell us all were doing it wrong, maybe just maybe with all the earthquakes, eruptions and the like, maybe it is him coming back down and telling us it's time to end it all, because the world is off key on the message.

Only time will tell, I hope the main stream media is not busy enough not to notice about it.

Heaven or Hell?

2010-03-16T08:10:00.000-07:00

Where do we go when we leave this great planet of earth? That is a question that was raised by someone that brought it up on my multiply blog over the weekend. Well not that really, but it was on the issue of if you believe in a GOD after coming out of the closet.

Here is my take on it, I believe we have GOD, only one, I raised it in this past week's podcast on Monday about the idea of it. Really I do believe GOD created this planet, and the solar system, the stars. We seem like it's all taken for granted now days. It should not be that way. Don't give me wrong here, I like science, the study weather, but it so seems like we have taken it all for granted for oh so long ago.

Why is that? Is it right that we are doing that? I really don't think it is right that we are doing that. Take time just one day out of the week, reflect what we have here on this planet. It's the only planet that you and I know of so far that GOD given us.

That is my answer about GOD, of course we all have all sort of different views on this matter, we all preach in different ways, it's just like the skin of the color that we may have.

And of course we are all unique in our very own way, and that is way we were born here on this great earth that GOD given us. The mystery continues until you reach on that other side.

Out with the Old, and In with New

2010-03-11T17:57:00.001-08:00

Well this whole week been a busy week actually, not really per saying here at the website, we had to get a new internet service provider because of the situation with the old one which was not being honest to us.

It was a very tough choice for me to make on having to take and leave the old provider, he was making excuses about the whole situation. First I guess I should tell you about how bad it was, it was always stating we would have 100k and high speed internet. Well we never did have high speed connection, at night about this time every night we could not get online to even watch YouTube videos and also to make phone calls. I understand that the net does get more high traffic at night, but it should at least get enough bandwidth that you can actually watch things.

Well Monday afternoon it went down, I called him up and he stated that the radio was not showing up on his network. He first said it was the competitor problem that was making it they did not put a filter on a tower that they installed. Then I called him up again, and he stated it was the weather that was causing the the issues, the fog was making it not get a good connection.

Then I called him up again and he stated to me that it was sunspots and the fog and it should work better. It never did. By this time I called the new service provider up and told him that I wanted the service, so they were going to install it on Tuesday afternoon.

They did install the new service for me, so I called up the old one up and he gave me a excuse again that it was because of the other provider which I just switched.

I told him I switched, and he ask the reason why? I told him the service, and the speed.

He was little upset at me of course, he was a freak and I was little scared of him also. Well I told him he owed me some money for the month of April. He told me to come down to the office and he would give it to me.

I went down to get it at the office and well, he stated the computer was booting and he would send it by check, and he asked for my address.

First off, the computer was not even turned on, and he knew my address all ready.

What really made me upset was the excuses that he made that day. If he did not make the excuse of it I might have stayed with him. I would not have known how fast the service was actually!

I am very pleased on what I have seen with service, and I hope to get the chance to continue to have it for a long time!

Anyways that is about all I wanted to say right now. I know I have not made any updates for quite some time, and this might have been the reason why. But I hope this will not be a long absent again.

Until Friday. Have a great evening.

Agri-Biz

2010-03-04T04:43:00.000-08:00

I recently posed a question on some people to ask them when they here about Agri- Business what comes to the mind at first about it? And I also asked them where they were located at.

In general it was amazing the response that I did get back! They were all young of course remind you, some that were in the mid 30's, but most of them were under 30! They did not know what Agri-Business was and had no clue what so ever!

It really does and does not surprise me when it comes down to it. If you listen to the mainstream media, that includes getting your news off the websites of AOL News and Yahoo News, you never hear anything about how agri-business is used in everyday life.

Of course you hear about the orange crop, the crops that are down in Flordia and California, but you don't hear about how the peanut crop, wheat crops and of course corn and bean crop is here in America. You don't even hear about how those cattle farms, hog farms and the like are doing also. Oh you will here about it being a big fuss if the stink is getting to a town. How funny a town that builds after the confinement was built before the town was even built.

I could see building one close to town when the confinement was not really built when the town or city was all ready built, but if the city or town builds or a subdivision builds after the confinement is built, then they have no reason to complain.

Of course I am just talking about very little bit of things when it comes to Agri-Business. We have orchard farms, we have fuels that are used instead of the fuels that we know we put in the car everyday, we have labs that will produce ways to future of the next generation of crops that you hear so many people say that the water is not safe to drink because farmers are making it not safe. I have to tell you it's come a long way, most of all the crops that we see today the seed got it's own agent to make it until harvest, be it not the best, it's getting better, and we need more people to be in those labs to keep studying to provide even better improvements!

Like I was saying before were getting to achieve it. But we have so many possible ways to get into Agri-Business! Building farm tractors, repairing them, if you think about it, even farm machinery were looking to improve it also!

I could go on and on just thinking about it here! But I won't bore you all to death!

Just remember you can get into Agri-Business also! We need all the help some how to get more people to understand it. This country was built on manufacturing and agricultural, it so seems like we have forgotten how to do this since the age of the internet taken over this new generation.
