I bought a house… the process was fairly easy, although lots of paperwork and a good amount of money were needed. I sold my house because I got into too much credit card debt and when the market boomed, I took advantage of it and made some money. Now my credit sucks but as soon as I fix it up again (6 months to a year from now), I will buy again. This time I refuse to buy in Philadelphia, I’d rather have a detached, large property house (I want to have a farm for myself) and do it in a cheaper area, such as… Lilian, Alabama… nice, cheap, warm property…

Well, this is what I’ve wanted to do for a while, but I just don’t know how much time on this earth I have, life is short. If I can find time for it while still feeding the poor, clothing the naked, etc. and preaching Jesus, then, maybe yes I will try and start another revolution in the USA. This country is so far out off course it scares me sometimes, I think the founding fathers would flip out if they knew what was has happened to their dream, and if enough people agreed on the same main topics, then we the people could start something, together, rather than just talking about it, that would change the face or reinvent the face of a nation. Although it starts as mere talk, and so I’d love to know what other people’s thoughts are on this topic.
re: I have since started getting people together for a revolution, and have decided to attend school for a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice, and afterwards I will work towards a Law Degree. I will pass the bar and use my new skills and degree to get myself more involved in Politics… but in the meantime, I’m getting people together… to reinvent the Federal Government, and, for now, give power back to the states, 100% the states. Join me! We can petition government states-wide and make this happen! Until it happens, don’t stop voting. We’re going to the use the system to reinvent the system, like our founding fathers warned us to do once it got out of hand from human nature, which is, obviously to many, happening currently. Let’s reclaim the United States of America in the name of the People!
I haven’t mastered this yet but I’m recently, and only recently, getting better I think, I know I definately am not saying the things (negative things) that are on my mind anyway, all the time like I used to. This has been since about the 1st of the year, because that’s when my family got together to celebrate Christmas, December 25th just wouldn’t have worked (we all live in entirely different states now)- my sister got me a book that has apparently been being updated reprinte every single year since 1935, called “How to win friends and influence people”, by Dale Carnegie. Wow, this book has entirely shifted my thinking and may prove to change my life! It’s kind of like stuff I already knew, but all compiled together, complete with stories of many accomplished and famous people who have used techniques in their lives to do just what the book says. I think it’s a good book for me because I can still speak alot but it has stopped me in my tracks to speak only positive, uplifting things and still get my points across. But be warned, if you are a manipulator you could use the book to a manipulative advantage, although that’s not the intended use.
