What should I write about for my first blog?

Seriously, there are a million things racing through my head.

 

Should I be compelled to warn people again and again to a future that I have predicted in far too scary formation and accuracy? Then these blog entries are psychic readings and maybe I should charge rates higher than Ms. Cleo with her crystal ball.

 

I predicted a split of the Republican Party with elements re-aligning in favor of Democrats 6 months ago. I predicted that black voters will most likely not help and possibly hurt gay rights by and large in California, which polls not only from CNN, but LA Times have now proven me sorrowfully right (Do a check on all the polls and tell me one that did not show black voters overwhelming support prop 8, because I want to believe that black voters were not so heartless).

 

Should I talk about Economic issues? The Stock Market fell 400 points in Dow Industrial on Wednesday, which analyst do not understand a reasoning for. I would call it a anticipation correction; rising close to 900 points a week ago was a miracle and it really should have been taken in stride. Moderate Rises and falls of 100-200 points are good and healthy for a recession economy. Popular desire to see an ever growing stock market is a bit foolish and naive to the least; you must have corrections along the way to counter attack too much steam from overheating.

 

By the way, estimates on holiday shopping is looking pretty bleak; even for online and high end retailers. The consensus is a large decline in the coming months and possible less hirings during the usual busy holiday season. I hope it is proven wrong, but people are buying less and there is less credit to buy new stuff today. It is not a fun thing to know that more people are not going to get jobs and more people are projected to get fired.

 

I have friends in the big firms, who told me two words that should scare the professionals: "Hiring Freeze" and "Corporate Reorganization". Basically, it means that we are not going to hire anyone new, so "College grads are out of luck unless you got a great connection", and we are firing people, "sorry kid but your a first year and the other guys have more experience".

 

Pretty sad news to pick up.

 

Should I talk about my beliefs? Hmmm.....I am an odd guy. Gay of course, but I still believe in certain areas that make me Christian. Actually, I doubt any church shares my beliefs in faith and God. I know most people don't believe or choose not to due to either hatred for religious Conservatives or the simple fact that God seems like make believe. I choose an applied belief with a different idea that the Bible is not the sole source of God's words. I also counter the belief in absolute principes in religion, which has been a fundamental ideal in religious dogma for over three thousand years. I see religion and spiritual growth as something to strive for. You should seek some way to find peace both externally and internally; even if it means there are times that you must fight. I try never to start a fight unless there is a great need for one, but I will not stay away from one. I don't turn the other cheek or allow the universe to unfold in absence as ascribed by certain Buddhist principles (Yup, I studied a little Buddhism, too). So basically, it makes me a really huge Heretic against many of the world religions, since I mix and use certain philosophies that seem to work better without others. It could also make me a revolutionary depending on who writes the history books in a hundred years.

 

Anything else, let's see, I like animals: I have dog named lucky, used to work with feed and clean cats when neighbors were on vacation, and had four other pets that my mother cooked (Very long and traumatic story involving my pet rabbit and turtles).

 

For the guys looking for a boyfriend, I like reading, writing, debating politics and policy, video games mostly strategy, cooking, TV and pop culture (have an encyclopedic knowledge of certain obscure tv shows and very well verse in Star Trek, sorry!), camping if i have the time, skiing if it is possible again time, and anything fun. Yup I am high maitenance.

 

So that is all for today.

haha, your religious views aren't that quirky. in fact, to me they seem normal, and what an awful lot of people believe. and of course the Bible is not the only source of Gods words, he speaks everyday. anyway, nice to read your first blog :)

Overall, I consider myself to be more of a deist. I am not one to say that there isn't something out there. As for the economy, I hope a solution is found. If our next president plays his cards right, he could get a lot of credit for economic improvements. :)
