Help Me Rhonda!

Ok, so I am trying out a new blog site.  It was really nice because I could just import all of the posts from this one very easily.  But I'm not sure that I like it.  I can't do everything I want on it.  But on the other hand I can do more things I couldn't do on Blogspot.  WordPress doesn't have near as many templates and they charge if you wanna mess with the code.  I probably won't mess with the code, but I would still like a better template.  So, I need your help!  Give me your thoughts on the new and old!  Which is better?  The new is HERE.  The old is...well if you can't figure that part out, then don't answer the question.  Thanks!

Deaftones

Well here we are.  I thought I would give you a break from my whining for a couple days.  We have surpassed days 4 and 5 and are now well into day 6.  There are good things today and a couple whiny notes.  The ear has popped!...and then clogged right back.  I spent most of the morning attempting to pay attention to what we were talking about in staff meeting but that is hard when YOU CAN hear every FEW WOrds and PARTS of some OTHErs.  Rather odd.  So, I believe we are progressing towards being healed, but it is hard to tell some times!  

I have been trying to figure out what caused this whole thing and I have come down to two possible scenarios.  Which do you like best?

1.  I was wakeboarding, hit the wake the hardest I ever have, jumped higher than I ever have, and landed on the other side of the wake and wiped out harder than I ever have before and therefore introducing the side of my head to the water rather sharply.

2.  I had been wakeboarding the week before and 3 days later as I am sleeping calmly in bed my wife (soundly asleep mind you) flailed around in a "roll over" move and punched me in the ear causing the inside of my ear to swell.

You decide.

Politics

So normally I don't find myself very interested in politics.  On occasion, I have been know to go on streaks where I only watch news channels.  Now (although it probably should be) has not been one of those times.  But today while catching up on some of my friend's blog posts (thanks John), I came across something that really bothered me.  We all have heard about his stance on the American flag and we all have our own opinions on how we feel about his patriotism.  But this was something new to add to that.  Saddleback Church recently had a civil forum for the two Presidential candidates.  Obviously one of the main topics that is on everyone's mind is that of the state of the United States economy.  Well, it's not doing so hot (for those of you that didn't know).  The thing that bothered me though was a quote from Barack Obama.

The Associated Press is reporting that when talking about the this topic Obama called the U.S. economy a disaster thanks to "John McCain's president, George W. Bush".  What?  Are you serious?  How can you say that he is John McCain's president?  Is he not yours?  Is he not mine?  Does the presidency now depend on whether or not we agree with him or like him all the time?  I think not.  How disrespectful of the President of the United States is that?  Is he not running for that same office?  Seems like he of all people should have more respect for the Commander in Chief.  This just really gives me concern for potentially electing someone to be MY president who doesn't consider the current president his.  It doesn't matter if you like him or not.  It doesn't matter if you agree with him or not.  The fact is that you have chosen to live in the United States of America.  If you don't accept the president as THE president of the United States, why are you here?  

I don't care if you agree with the president or not, give him the respect that he deserves.  Why should we give Obama if he becomes president the respect of the office if he can't do the same?  

I guess we will because we truly love our country and the idea of a true President of the United States.
