Why are you reading this?

No, really, why? If you're reading my blog you probably already have an idea WTF is happening around the world, and what you need to do about it to protect yourself and your family. Why am I not reading your blog?

this is me Halloween (weekend) night. no, really.

You'll have to forgive me, I was at a Halloween party tonight, it's 07:10 and I've been drinking. I feel I can be candid, because quite frankly it's my blog and I can. Freedom! I love it! don't you?

I haven't done a late night ramble in quite awhile. Typically, when I write a post I've spent a good amount of time figuring out what I want to say and linking the various topics in a somewhat seamless manor. I don't always succeed, seriously, writing is not my strong point. However, I feel it is necessary to do my part. Are you doing yours?

If you know the information on my blog, then why read it? Make your own blog. Propagate the information. Do a better job than I am doing. Copy my posts if you want, permission can be found here.

Late night rambles are enjoyable, I just write and get what's on my mind on to the virtual paper that is Blogger with no thought towards whether it makes sense or not, or whether or not people will actually care.

That's whats great about freedom! Personal decision, and direction. These things unto themselves don't deliver success but they do allow you to sit back at the end of the day and feel satisfied that you've done your best. Maybe you succeed and maybe you don't, but what matters is that it's you. Isn't it? You could stop reading this blog now, start your own, and speak the truths you all know are in your hearts. Or maybe you won't. It's really up to you isn't it? That's what it's all about.

At the end of the day, I choose to do what I do because I choose to do it. That's really all we can ask from life, let the cards fall where they may.
