first semester

My first semester of school is almost done and I have to say that it was not as bad as I thought. I have been away from school from a long time. 10 years to be exact and I thought it was going to be really really tough. Don't get me wrong it is not easy, but I got back into the flow of things. Now I have to keep it up!

This is bad

Jobless claims is the highest it been since week ended July 25, 1992. Every job is in jeopardy. We may no longer have american automobiles. I even read that the ski resorts are laying people off! Something has to give. There is a bailout plan that keeps changing after it has gotten passed. This economy also is in cardiac arrest and nothing seems to be putting life back into it. I know it will get better because historically it always does. It is just tough.

Thanksgiving is around the corner

I love thanksgiving!! It is brings family together with a lot of great food! We usually do Thanksgiving at my house. We talk, laugh and eat turkey. And just when everybody is about to fall asleep... football comes on. Everyone in the family likes to watch football. We have such a good time together. We get together, but it is something about Thanksgiving that allows you to put day to day life aside and be thankful for all the blessings in your life.

November 4th

Obama is our next Chief and Commander! Wow! I think that both Obama and McCain gave great speeches! I was glad to see McCain offer his help to Obama. That goes to show that we had two stand guys ready to run the country! I voted for Obama, but I wouldn't have been upset if McCain would of ran. This is by far the best presidential race that I have been apart of. I was a little surprised that the race was not closer than it was though. I also thought it was weird that colorado went democratic in their vote. Where I work and the people that I seen and talked to didn't seem to have voted for Obama. I was wondering where were his supporters? Obama has a long road ahead of him! His first task will be to tackle our current economic problem! I think that Obama will surround his self with smart people and will be able to to get our economy growing again! Way to go Mr. President!!!

Trick or treat

This week I am take my two little one's trick or treating. My son Justin will be the blue power ranger from Jungle Fury series and my daughter Brooklyn will be Minnie mouse. Justin is very excited and has been asking me every day is it halloween. He wants to put on his custome everyday! I think we will go to the mall and then around the neighborhood. My nephew Daequan turned 1 years old on October 28th and I will be hosting a costume party for him on Saturday where the adults have to dress up as well. I have not put on a costume on in over 12 years and I think it will be kind of fun. All my friends are very excited as well.

Hello

This weekend was good! I got to watch DA Bears get a win! I am a Chicago sports fan! I like the Bears, Cubs, and the Bulls! So after a couple of games where they didn't play so good the Bears are starting to gel! I am a Denver Bronco and Denver Nuggets fan as well. I guess I should keep hope alive for the Broncos but it is hard after seeing them lose 41-7 to the Patriots and to add insult to the injury Jay Cutler is hurt. The defense needs help on the Bronco team. I think that is their biggest weakness right now. Ironically, I think that is the case for the Bears as well. For years the Bears have had one of the most dominating defense in the league, but offense could not do anything. Now with Kyle Orton doing more then running the offense the defense can stop other teams from scoring. I am pretty sure Coach Lovie Smith will start to get on the defense and they will start to step up as the season progresses. The bronco's on the other hand..... The defense will need more than what I think Coach Mike Shananhan can help with.

The bailout

Well, it is 1:52 PM MST and the market right now is up 813. Liquidity was injected into the world's central banks and a interbank lending guarantee by the government. I was waiting to see what the bailout would do to help. I just wonder what took it so long to take action. The european makets in my mind helped get our markets started. They did their bailout and moved very quickly to get funds put into their market. I only hope that these actions are sustained.
