Thank you Lord for giving me the patience and grace to look at others' strengths and things that they do right rather than their weaknesses and flaws. Thank you for giving me an encouraging spirit always lifting others up rather than bringing them down. Thank you for making me humble as pride always comes before the fall. |

| it's called RESPONSIBILITY. |

So I'm sitting here watching the Vice Presidential Debate on Fox News. My goal is not to get political and biased on this post. However, if you are reading this now, I'm encouraging you to first get educated. Know what YOU stand for, and understand what the presidential candidates stand for. Then, I encourage you to take responsibility, and do your part to vote. If you are 18 in America, you have been given the right to vote in this country. One of the things that this country suffers from is lack of participation. If you neglect to take advantage of your right to vote, then you have no right to complain about half the things that have gone wrong in this country. There is absolutely no excuse. I've heard way too much of "I'm not voting because I haven't been keeping up." So get caught up! It seriously takes not even an hour to read up on the issues. My parents moved to America for opportunity, and it's sad to see how many Americans are too lazy to take advantage of the freedoms that we have here.
I am not one to start a political debate, but the one thing that bothers the crap out of me is someone voting for someone without knowing and understanding what that person stands for. Kudos to all that are doing their part and taking responsibility. Please encourage your friends and family to do the same. I've come across a great site that seems to be fairly unbiased where you can easily get educated. On this site, you can take a quick simple survey on the election issues, and the results will show how your answers line up with the presidential candidates. I know we're all "busy", but please MAKE TIME to take responsibility for our freedoms. One way or another, the results of this election will affect you at some point in your life. Now going back on my statement that America as being lazy, on a more positive note, the rate of young voters has increased per 2008 Primaries' statistics. Let's keep it up.
Ok, off my soap box I go.. here's the site: www.glassbooth.org |

"[It's] about... talkin to the person you haven't even met yet.
Maybe they're rollin' around in the hay with someone else,
but they're not as good as you'll be... you just gotta wait your turn.
She's out there, he's out there,
they're just learning what to contrast you against."

So last Thursday, my boss called me into his boss's office to have a talk with me. On my way there, I thought to myself that this must be it. This has to be the moment that I've been patiently waiting for these past couple of months. After all of the anticipation and underpaid hours of work, this in fact was "it."
Hehe, ok to get straight to the point, the company that I've been contracting for over the past 6 months just made an offer that I couldn't refuse. I can now say that I officially work for Payerpath, A Misys Company, as a full-time software analyst. My company was just recently acquired by Misys turning a small 150-employee company to a part of a huge multinational company, so a good amount of opportunities just opened up with us here in Richmond. So if you, or anyone you know might need a job, let me know. Positions vary from project management to IT positions to sales & marketing to customer support and more. Anyway, the 2-ton weight on my shoulders has been lifted, and it feels damn good to be well on my way to financially secure for the first time in my life.
Looks like it's time to go car shopping. I think I deserve something nice after all of the years it took me to get where I am. =) |
