This article made me feel better about us renting! I still want my upstairs downstairs backyard white picket fenced house one day! While the article says you are still losing money being a homeowner, it doesnt beat the fact that it is yours to call your own and you WILL definitely get back something even if not all your money when and if you decide to move.
Bankruptcy does not count *knock on wood*
We found the perfect ‘starter home’ south of Orange County. It was to us just the right size and everything we liked about having a home but alas, we couldn’t come to an agreement on the price so *sad face*😔. I didnt realize how difficult it was to purchase a home in Socal. There are a lot of homes but to find the right one in a good area at a price you can afford is just plain hard and they take you for every penny you have. We just want to stop renting because we definitely arent investing no matter how nice the benefits of living in our current place are. Oh well back to the drawing board -_-
I love Instagram. It’s the only social network to promote true creative expression, without all the redundancy, clutter, and homogenization of Twitter and Facebook. And the newness is part of the appeal. Instagram is still evolving everyday, yet to be determined, a work in progress. It’s the wild…
It is designed to pull dysfunction to the surface of our lives, set it on fire and help us grow.

All relationships have one law: Never make the one you love feel alone, especially when you’re there.

Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.

I woke up today to find an email from Andrew…. He had a lot of time at work this morning! He has got some good points but I always have to remember this is his guy logical self thoughts which is right when looking at the big picture …
————————————————————————————————— Just to inform you on topics regarding government policies..
Once you can use critical thinking and understanding of said policies you will be able to distinguish between political bullshit and truth.
Also, if you are a true Catholic, you would not say things you do about government because liberals believe the government should be the religion and are against religious principles and morals and the idea that people should and have the right to be responsible for themselves (most of young people today do not associate with religion which is why they turn to government and well liberals promise everything even when they don’t deliver! young people don’t care). Things such as gay marriage and other laws redefining how people should live their lives is an attempt to dissuade people from religion but instead give the government their money and increase it’s power.
Lets take some examples:
1st example (assuming it was passed):
Law: Limit Size Soda is sold
Pros:
1.People feel like they are taking care of people not able to take care of themselves?
2.Allows foothold to “help” people more in the future by telling them what they can buy and how much?
Cons:
1.People have to pay more for the same soda hurting both consumers and producers
2.Government spends more money to pay to enforce this (government grows in power and needs more taxes)
3.Freedom is infringed, opens up possibility of millions of obscure laws and ways for government to control lives with this law as the basis for it’s constitutionality
4.People might take even less responsibility of their lives as government more and more infringes or rights of choice
Doesn’t stop people who want more soda from drinking more soda
5.There are many other drinks with just as much sugar (juices) that are not included in the law.
2nd example (I assume you would want this since you want with similiar things):
Law: Give everyone free wifi.
Pros:
1.everyone has access to wifi
2.people don’t have to work and can get “free” internet
Cons:
1.Costs go up for people already paying a shitload for wifi to now pay for those who do not pay
2.Slower Internet speed now that everyone is taking up bandwidth
3.More crimes? now that homeless and others without jobs need smart phones and ways to charge them (or perhaps another government program)
4.Government ability to control web (no more freedom? China or North Korea ring a bell?)
5.Government grows in power needs more taxes to manage security and implementation of free wifi networks
6.There are no restrictions on the government bureaucracy that takes place (just like all government programs) and no checks on spending, also expect inefficiencies such as weeks to fix any problem.
7.The government doesn’t do anything well, chances of implementation in all areas are zero, leaving some areas paying for something they don’t have access to unless they travel
3rd example:
Law: Let all illegal immigrants through
Pros:
1.Everyone can come to the US and be happy?
2.Need to keep worker base coming in?
Cons:
1.How to control and track these people should they do crimes or take government benefits (that they don’t pay for)
2.No other country allows this, as they want jobs for their citizens
3.Takes jobs from citizens
4.Easy for terrorism, drug cartels, other anti-American groups to infiltrate
5.Puts burden on government benefits, cops, health care, homeland security
6.America has always been an immigrant nation, but has also always had a system to allow people in (to avoid chaos)
7.People that don’t pay taxes shouldn’t be allowed to vote and take advantage of government programs
8.People trying to get into the country legally would be getting worse treatment than illegals and dissuade law abiding people that want to contribute to society
9.Overpopulation - leads to increase in food prices, water prices, electricity prices, congestion, crime, health problems
Any other liberal ideals you have? I guarantee if a logical person thought through any of these (not to mention the actual implementation of these ideals would have even more cons and less benefits) that they would be against them rather than taking the side of what they think as popular as shown by a biased media. Socialism, Marxism, Communism is nice in theory but that is not the “utopia” I believe in or America was founded on of freedom, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Ask yourself if you want to live in China, North Korea, or Russia first before forming opinions that take America further down that path.

There are always people you will be loyal to because they are your soulmates. They are the ones you can open up to without hesitation and know that no matter the distance or time, it will still be the same. They are the ones you understand and want to be in sync with no matter what goes on in your life because with everything you have been through, there shouldnt be any reason not to.
But I learned in order to have this bond, the same people have to have the same goals as you, the same values… You cant be trying to have these, you just should be… I have tried in the past to be someone with a different outlook but you will always be you no matter what and you will hurt others and vice versa. It is an experience and im always grateful for what I learn from.
Anyway i am babbling because given i will and have to make new friends here, i would just like to remember situations i have gone through and have to avoid. Getting along with people is something i will have to work on because i want meaningful relationships (which is something of a challenge here). It takes two i understand but like i said… Same goals… Same values…
