Things still moving upward with my career, but I feel like I have stalled out a bit. I always expected Entrepreneurship to be hard, but I don't think I ever really thought it completely through. I expected hard work, I like hard work; I didn't expect hard work with no results. I expected side-jobs to pay the bills; I didn't expect the non-glamorous side-jobs that require goofy dress codes and unfortunate hours. I also don't think I was prepared for the mental stress of watching your friends,colleagues and former classmates succeed in paths that you could have taken, but instead chose a path that now has you sleepless and blogging at 1:16 in the morning.
But hey, no one would want to read my auto-biography if there wasn't the 'life-sucked-but-I-kept-persavering-chapter,' right?

Sometimes bombs are a good thing
Osama Bin Laden is threatening to kill Americans...again.
"The White House has expressed its desire to execute him (speaking of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind). When America makes this decision, it will have made a decision to execute whoever of you is held prisoner by us..."
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE62O2FW20100325
That's like Hitler saying he's going to kill the Jews if we don't let him take Poland.
New thought: Why not run a black ops mission. Assemble the largest CIA/NATO black ops team in the history of the world. Move in at night and remove every civilian at of the area, whether they want to go or not. As soon as everyone is out, carpet bomb the entire region, I mean leave nothing un-blown up. It could be a joint venture with every country whose lives would be easier with these people underneath 12 feet of dirt.
There comes a time when diplomacy is not working and cutting the source of your problems by the throat is the right and only thing left to do. Save those who will leave and flood the rest of them with a force of power that they have yet to see. I call it Operation Noah's arc.

At least something happened...
I have heard more partisan whining in the last two days about Obamacare and the apocalyptic ramifications to follow such a horrifying law being signed and I have decided to put in two cents, at least.
First, at least the White House has finally done something they said they would. I have waited for action and now I have seen something come of it. Remarkably, something was accomplished with a stubborn, almost childish minority that has roadblocked everything they could get their hands on.
Second, is this really going to be the end of the world, really? I understand why conservatives are afraid of the government controlling too much. In most cases I agree with them. But The White House set out to give 45 Million people insurance. 1) It looks like their only going to get about 32M of them so the analysis of the Government controlling everyone is a little overstated and 2) the people whining about this already have insurance, so what's the big deal? The world is going to hell in a hand basket, but I don't think it is because big, bad Obama and his socialist health care law of death is what's driving us there.
Two more cents:
What is driving us there is the utter hatred men have for their own kind; Ignorance and Want....hmmm where have I heard that before (your mind-bender for the day)? Men are ignorant to the people around them, their lives and backgrounds and they want something from them without learning about them. Thus spring forth a hatred that cannot be cured by law or Executive Order.
In my opinion, the only thing that will save this country is a quality education for every soul on this earth, a sound understanding and tolerance of one another....and a possible swift back hand to the next person who whines about this country but isn't man enough to get his butt of the couch and do something as simple as vote.

Rambling Update
Largest, run-on update on life commencing now: As most are now aware, Salena is 13 weeks pregnant with our first lil' one...due on Sept. 25, if it's a boy I am totally screwed because I am about to receive a life's worth of payback for the terror I concocted as a child, If its a girl, I am totally screwed because I am already planning to spoil her in ways that I child should not be spoiled (not kidding, I have looked into prices for ponies)
Recently the wife and I spent a few days in SoCal for the Themed Entertainment Association Summit and Gala; which Next Generation Creative produced...Day 1 was spent at Disneyland enjoying what felt like warm weather to us; then actual work followed
Salena looked absolutely amazing in her gown, so it has been decided to take her to more events that require such beautiful, formal attire
The NGC Team
The event was a huge success, but as all good things do - it came to an end and we made our ways back to Idaho to find a rather unfortunate situation for someone - but humorous for us
....and of course, our most recent trip to Salt Lake for the St. Patrick's Day Jazz game
...update over, run-on; complete.

Love me tomorrow
My mind can understand a lot of things.
I have a pretty good grasp on business, politics, interpersonal communications, finance, economics, sociology (this is starting to sound like a song) as well as religion. I can read people fairly well and can very easily understand many different points of view. But I do not understand love.
I do not understand why it is so hard to love, or to be loved. I don't understand why it is so fragile.
I do not understand why the mind and the heart cannot work together (it seems to me that this would be for everyone's benefit), and why there never seems to be common footing for the two.
I don't understand the damages of love that has been neglected or abused or the lasting effect of those damages.
I don't understand love and intimacy; and why someone decided to think that it was game that can be reset.
I don't understand. But I lie awake at night looking at the only thing I love. Hoping that I can be enough, say enough and understand enough to be loved in return. I stare at the minutes on the clock as the night slowly ticks away and pray: Please God, let her love me tomorrow.
