Hey readers!
I really wanted to just mouth off for a little bit about something...
But take heed to what I said above, and hope that the lesson sinks
in with you.
Happy holidays,

P.S. - If you celebrate Christmas, just remember that Jesus is the
reason for the season, not all the gifts you get on the 25th thanks
to good old Santa Claus.
If you celebrate Hanukkah, remember that it’s all about the Festival
of Lights, the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem after
Antiochus IV’s forces destroyed it, as well as commemorates the
“miracle of the container of oil”. It’s not about presents, either.
Just keep in mind that holidays are ‘holy days’ not commercial days
off.

Why Friday the 13th is a GOOD Day...
Hey there readers!
I can tell you one thing. I for one don’t have Paraskavedekatriaphobia.
Do you know what that is?
It’s a fear of Friday the 13th. Seriously!
According to wikipedia.com:
“In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of
completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve
recognized signs of the zodiac, the twelve tribes of Israel, the
twelve Apostles of Jesus, etc., whereas the number thirteen was
considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is
also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last
Supper, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result
in the death of one of the diners.”
If you wanna read the rest of this wikipedia entry, goto:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th
Even back in the day, I used to be afraid of this day. I used to grab my lucky rabbit’s foot, search for 4-leaf clovers, and I wouldn’t dare do anything, except go to school, and do my chores.
And then, I’d blame my bad grades on Friday the 13th, too. 
But today, I have finally put that superstition to rest…and for good reason.
Today is my son’s first birthday - on Friday the 13th. Crazy, huh?
So, to see him grow up over the past year since I first held him in the hospital, into the bold, young boy that he is…I see this day as a blessing rather than a hindrance.
Me & Timmy III in the hospital less than 24 hours old.
I mean, one year ago, I see him barely being able to open his eyes, only sucking on a bottle, depending on us for ultimate survival.
Now, I see him walking, running, feeding himself, finally saying some words like “mama”, “dada”, “baba” (bottle) and my favorite “NO”. He plays with his older sister, and even throws things at her (in retaliation I guess - she used to give him hell).
So, to see my little man grow up into a well-developed 1-year old…it makes me throw out this silly belief that today is a horrible day for all.
We only make Friday the 13th as bad as we want it to be with our negative thinking. Negativity in your mind will make you view every aspect of your life and current events as negative.
Whereas, if you keep positive, you’ll see everything around you in a positive light, and you’ll lead a more substantial happy life…trust me.
Besides…the weather is beautiful here today. Sunny, but not hot… my kids are actually being good for a change, my business is still making money, and everyone in my house has been in a good mood (which is rare here LOL)
So, you can believe what you want about Friday the 13th…but my little boy turned 1 today…so it can’t be that bad after all.
Happy birthday, my son!
Love, Daddy!

FICO Scores - Why bother with a fico score at all?
This is my take on a FICO score...
IMPROVE IT AS BEST YOU CAN!
And I must stress this heavily, because just about everything around is depends on our FICO score. From credit cards, to cell phones, to bank accounts, to cars, to loans, to even getting a 'rapid refund' check from your favorite tax preparer.
So, the bottom line is, you NEED to improve your FICO score ASAP, if you want to get by in this struggling economy.
Now, if you're like me, and trying to rebuild your credit and improve your FICO score, then you should read the guide I just came across that's actually a best seller right now. It's the "Credit Bible" and in all honesty, I've heard TONS of sites on the internet talking about this guide.
So, from everything that I've heard, this is probably the most reliable source for improving your score.
Missouri
California
Those are testimonials from the site. I invite you to check out the rest and see if this is a good opportunity for you to embark on so you can improve your credit score. I'm buying my copy tonight, and pulling an all-nighter on this one. Let me know if you've tried it before in my comments.

“6 Charge-Offs Deleted… Score Is Up 80 Points!”
“Years back I was living beyond my means until I finally could not keep up with the payments… I simply stopped paying and turned off my telephone. Then a couple of months ago I got my hands on your Credit Secrets Bible™ and the first letter I mailed got 6 charge-offs deleted. I was amazed… My credit score has gone up 80 points already! I am now about to buy a brand new Pontiac Grand Prix and within a year or so will own my first home! Your techniques work… I am living proof.”
Jerome Mitchell (Mechanic)Missouri
"...Removed 7 Late Pays in only 2 Weeks with One Simple Letter!"
"After 4 years in the military, my last deployment ended but only for me to find my credit problems had just begun. My biggest problem was the numerous late-pays that had piled up while I was on leave. By using one simple negotiation method from the Credit Secrets Bible™, I was able to get 7 late pays removed with one simple letter in less than 2 weeks! That’s why I tell all my friends about the Credit Secrets Bible™ so they can enjoy a better life too…"

The Government Can't Control Beef Recalls?
I'm sitting here watching News 12 New Jersey...
I'm watching a story on another beef recall from schools in New Jersey, and how Senator Bob Menendez is lobbying for regulation off these slaughterhouses. These places that some NJ schools has been contracting through, have been recently slaughtering sick cows. And when information about this leaked out, a recall was ordered.
One thing that Menendez said that literally made my jaw drop was how currently, the USDA has NO authority to issue a recall on tainted meat!
Does anyone understand what's going on here?!
A slaughterhouse could be using sick cows all the time, never tell anyone about it, and continue to pump it out to people like you and I, and our KIDS. And to add insult to injury, the government, whose supposed to be FOR the people, can't do a thing about it.
If the government can step in and take legal authority over Major League Baseball and go after Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens for steroids and HGH...why can't they step in and put a stop to tainted beef reaching our dinner tables?!
Is the government just allowing it to happen? If they can't and haven't stepped in to regulate the health conditions of slaughterhouses and other food processing facilities, then we all should be very weary of what we put in our mouths. Sad to say, we all gotta eat...it just sucks that what you eat may be tainted, and there's nothing you can do about it...since the government won't regulate food processing plants like they should be.

Countrywide Financial Still Doing Business Even With an Investigation
FBI investigates Countrywide Financial
Federal authorities are investigating subprime mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp. for possible securities fraud, sources say. (www.upi.com)
I really think this article is worth getting around, because I see the commercials for these people, and how they're STILL doing business, while being investigated for fraud. This article is a real eye-opener.

Take My Son
I felt compelled to post this on my blog. I'm not the author, but this is a really good one that's eye-opening, too...
A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.
When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.
About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large packa ge in his hands.
He said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art." The young man held out this package. "I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this."
The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. "Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift."
The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he ha d collected.
The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.
On the platform sat the painting of the son The auctioneer pounded his gavel. "We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?"
There was silence.
Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, "We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one."
But the auctioneer persisted. "Will somebody bid for this painting. Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?"
Another voice angrily. "We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Goghs, the Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids!"
But still the auctioneer continued. "The son! The son! Who'll take the son?"
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. "I'll give $10 for the painting." Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.
"We have $10, who will bid $20?"
"Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters."
"$10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20?"
The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son.
They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.
The auctioneer pounded the gavel. "Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!"
A man sitting on the second row shouted, "Now let's get on with the collection!"
The auctioneer laid down his gavel. "I'm sorry, the auction is over."
"What about the paintings?"
"I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.
The man who took the son gets everything!"
God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: "The son, the son, who'll take the son?"
Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.

Stupid Pictures I've Seen
This clown's trying too hard...a alcoholic work-at-home musician and clown, trying to work on their figure. Look at those curlers!
Notice the guy in the background. He's so scared of this dude, like I am!
The one in the lower right-hand corner just HAD to be different...
This is why they make signs that say "Wet Cement!"
SuperCat to the RESCUE!!!

Are There Loopholes on Ebay that'll make your profit?
This has been a topic that I have seen people searching for to get to one of my websites.
So, I wanted to discuss the 'loophole's involved with Ebay.
The loophole that everybody advertises is all about the Ebay affiliate program.
You make money when you refer people to Ebay. You get credited with money when people sign up for an account, and make a purchase within their first 30 days.
Yeah, it's that simple. If you wish, you can check out their affiliate program. It's on commission junction
Now, there's another loophole involved with ebay, that also requires you not to buy or sell anything, and yet you'll still pull a profit from it.
My guide teaches you all about it. I made $1500 in a weekend with this stuff, so I hope it works for you.

People Make Careers Out of Gaming?
I thought I saw it all when I learned that you were able to make money with nothing more than computer. Of course, that's what I do...and damn good at it, too.
But, I had no idea how serious gaming really is! I mean, I play my fair share of Madden NFL, and Halo and such. But I didn't know that people really make careers out of it.
I saw one dude on an online forum, talk about how he was pulling $190K a year, from professional gaming. That had me wondering...maybe I should give up the home business thing, and start getting my swagger right with the joystick. LOL
But seriously, I read this and felt inspired to do so. Although I probably won't go professional, it does give me ideas...
