Love two wheels

When its warm a day won't go by without the need for me to get on my bike and lean through a corner at a safe speed. There is something to said about being able to sit out on your bike, feel the wind go through you jacket. The joy you see on a young persons face when you ride by and they marvel at the sight of you on a bike. It is one of the greatest feelings in the world. This is not a sentiment shared by everyone however, due to the inherent danger that comes along with riding a motorcycle.

I have lost friends to accidents in cars, as well as riding a bike and the feeling is always the same. The loss of a loved one is tough to deal with. Riding a motorcycle is a selfish hobby and many riders don't respect the power that is in their right hand while on a bike. This lack of respect and need for speed can make for a dangerous combination.

Suzi Q and I, have been through somethings. Suzi is my bike. She is pretty young thing. Her daddy was orange and her mommy was black. I love her, and she loves me back. I take care of her and she does the same for me. I respect her above all things and that is why she will keep me safe. If you ride a bike and read this post, put your throttle hand in the air and rev your engine one time for respect and two times for love, a third means you lost someone and your saying hello to those up above.

Make this day better when you leave...

I have vowed to make each day better than I found it, make every person better than I left them. Make someone who has a frown on their face smile. Positive energy will lift your neighbor up and negative energy will bring them down. People say things that they often go back on when times are rough or the chips don't quite fall their way. You can't control everything, but you can control your the way you react to events.

Easier said than done and harder to accomplish than talk about, being a better person requires hard work and sacrifice. Self denial and discipline will help you achieve greater heights. So when you feel the urge to turn on the television, read a book. When you feel the urge to yell and fight, do some cross training. When you feel a run on sentence coming on, put a period at the end. Stop and think some time that you are not the only one having a rough time. Enjoy your journey after all when your journey is over, it will be all you had.

Make you go hmmmmm!

While the media has portrayed R.Kelly is the worst man to ever live because of his behavior which I am by no means condoning. I am compelled to say that the man in charge of the Playboy Mansion has seemed to be immune from any public scrutiny for far to long. He has multitudes of girlfriends who are young enough to be his granddaughters and great granddaughters, but our culture hails him as one of the greatest men of our time.

I beg you to ask the question, Why is Hugh Hefner treated like royalty? What makes him so different? Am I hating, or is his behavior that of someone our sons should aspire to be and our daughters aspire to be with? It seems, money is and will always be the great equalizer in this world. I have told anyone reading this something they don't already know, but I have shed a little light back on a topic that has gone to the dark.

American Oddity

With the state of the American Economy in turmoil and severely affecting the Global Economy to the point where other major countries are implementing bailouts in the last ditch attempt to keep the markets from imploding. We have the pleasure of voting in the most important election that America has ever seen. With the single largest percentage and point loss on Wall Street ever, we have the opportunity to turn major losses into big time gains. The rich have been getting richer for a long time and it is now time for the average American from corner Main Street and Normal Avenue to step up and make their opinion heard. If not now then when, if not us then who. We are the next generation and we don't stake our claim now it will be to late very soon.
