Are you a millionaire? Do you want someone in your life who appreciates you for nothing more than your money? Do gold diggers appeal to you, but you’re having trouble meeting that special someone?

Never fear…there’s a website for Millionaire Dating that’s waiting to hook you up with someone who will appreciate you for your money, and nothing else! Enjoy trips to exotic locales (on your dime), dinners at fab restaurants (on your dime), shopping in New York City, Milan, and Paris (on your dime), and much, MUCH more with your newfound love.

And don’t forget - if you hear wedding bells, sign a pre-nup agreement!

Tuesday morning the house was a beehive of activity, the drywall guy was here to repair some cracks (now I’ve got painting to do, crap!), the carpet guy came to retack our stairs and the sprinkler guys came to install sprinklers in the back yard. I would like to get my bahia to grow in thicker, so in about a month I will be reseeding it and the sprinklers in the ground will certainly make it easier to water. Yeah, I know, all you northerners are saying bahia is a weed, well in Florida, due to the climate and water shortages, it is used as grass.

We’re only about 1 1/2 hours from Disney World, and being the family guy that I am, we go there a lot, even if it’s not my most favorite place to visit. Wife and the kids love it, so I go along for the ride. We do always have a good time. Since we’re so close, we have passes to all of the Orlando area theme parks, and we stay all over the place - sometimes at a Disney resort, sometimes at a hotel off site…it just depends on the kind of deal we find. One thing we’ve never done is rent a vacation house, like these Kissimmee vacation rentals. It would be nice having a private pool, plenty of bedrooms, and a kitchen for wife to make dinner in on vacation. Lots of the houses are just a few miles from Disney!

What’s in the middle of North Carolina? A little, well, a NOT so little town called Raleigh. Close to the Appalachian Mountains, not too far from the beaches…right smack dab in the middle. Not a bad place to work, live, or play - check out this Raleigh North Carolina Real Estate. They sure don’t build houses like that here in Florida! The real reason Raleigh is so great though? NC State, UNC and Duke. (Go Blue Devils!)

Monday and Tuesday night are going to be cold here, low temps in the 30’s. Since I’m off Tuesday, I thought I would go buy some sirloin steak on sale at the local grocery store, and grill tonight. However, I think I am going to rethink that dinner menu. One thing I love when it’s cold out is comfort food. Stuff like meatloaf or pot roast in the slow cooker and a bottle of red wine. Wife really doesn’t like meatloaf so I think I’ll make pot roast.

I’ve never seen any motivational speakers, but I heard about this website buzzmarketing.com and a motivational speaker named Mark Hughes. Buzzmarketing.com must be pretty good because this motivational speaker Mark Hughes has pulled off some pretty amazing stunts. He was able to convince the town of Halfway, Oregon to rename itself Half.com for a publicity stunt. Could you imagine some guy rolling into your town of Palookaville, and convincing the local citizenry to rename the town for publicity? I’m not to into the whole genre of self-help/self esteem stuff, but I do like a little rah-rah every now and then. Mark Hughes sounds like he would be a pretty entertaining speaker.

Monday was an incredibly stressful day at work. By the time I left at 5:30, I was on my third dose of Advil. I’ve been working on relieving some of that stress by doing some chores. I’ve already folded laundry, scrubbed the grout and tile in the bathrooms, did the breakfast dishes, and cleaned the corian sinks. Sounds like it’s time for a beer…

Here’s something I thought was interesting that I recently heard. Did you know that in some states you have to have permit to carry or buy a Taser Stun Gun, or Mace, but you do not need a permit to buy a gun. That just sounds bizarre. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for guns and the right to bear arms. However, I am not allowed to have them in the house, because that is the one fight with the wife that I can not win. But I digress.

I just does not seem logical to allow some one to buy a lethal weapon such as a pistol or shotgun with out a permit, but they must have permit to buy something like mace? Let’s be honest, I think most people who buy guns “for protection” are really buying them so they have the chance to kill some one who desperately needs to be killed. If some jackass gets around your home security system and breaks into your home, you should be allowed to use as much force as you want to protect yourself. You’ve got to assume if someone is in your house without your permission, they mean to harm you. Especially in this day and age. If someone is carrying mace, pepper spray, or a stun gun, I do not think they have killing someone in mind. I would think the State would rather a person stun or mace someone, than kill them. What’s the worst that can happen to someone getting maced, a little eye damage? Too bad, you should not have been attacking some chick in a parking lot. A little high voltage shock? Again, you get what you asked for. But double-tapping someone with your Glock 9, while warranted, might not be necessary. What is the message here? Kill, Kill, Kill.

If you go read the story you will see the obvious sin being committed here. It is a sin of vanity and ego, on the part of the prosecutor Barker and the DA McDade. These guys obviously failed 5th grade math when you were taught about the lowest common denominator in division. It works like this,everyone involved in the case thinks the penalty is unjust. The foreman of the jury, the judge, the police, the warden, the attorneys. Now, by Georgia law, Barker or McDade could have the sentence suspended or halted tomorrow and this guy could be free and pursuing the Ivy League scholarships that were being dealt his way. But, to do that, would tacitly admit to a mistake or miscarriage of justice, which neither of these guys wants to take ownership of. Now you can see why vanity and ego are a sin. These guys could take a lesson in personal resposibility from Genarlow Wilson.

Our legal system and government is built on the Judea-Christian system. Like it or not. Also, it is heavily influenced by the philosophers of Ancient Greece. That is why Barker and McDade should go back and read the two greatest books of Western civilization. The Holy Bible(specifically the New Testament) and The Republic. They should pay special attention to Plato’s discourse on Justice found around page 60 in the Republic.

My wife has watched soaps on and off in her life, and she thought, that as a guy, I was clueless about them. Not so! She was talking with a friend about what happened on a soap and I interjected asking her about other characters and story lines. I’m smarter than she thinks. See, I grew up with a sister that watched soaps, and my girlfriend watched soaps when I was in high school, so I just listened and learned. It’s always good to have knowledge on something that people don’t expect you to know about.

I found a website full of soap opera updates so that I can continue my quest for knowledge. They’ve got daily updates and news on all of the daytime shows, as well as a few evening shows. (Hey guys, add a section for Heroes, Desperate Housewives, and Grey’s Anatomy - those definitely count as soaps!) They have news and message boards too. If they expand their list of shows, the site would be perfect.
