			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mitt Romney is not an average guy &#8212; who do you know that has Swiss bank accounts. He lives off his investments &#8212; does anyone believe Mitt Romney is in &#8216;touch&#8217; with reality - his reality is not my reality.</p>
<p>This guy is a jerk to sick people &#8212; those who want to use unconventional/natural methods to treat their illness. In fact one that can&#8217;t be treated with any other legal drug, but no &#8220;cannabis&#8221; shouldn&#8217;t be used because of 70 years of lies. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cxtGk0TBOSc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>He belongs to a religion where they think after you die you&#8217;ll live on a planet as a God with all your wives! </p>
<p>Here are his tax returns: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/24/mitt-romney-tax-returns-released_n_1225247.html</p>
<p>I love his comment, &#8220;I won&#8217;t apologize for being successful.&#8221; &#8212; yea well &#8212; then don&#8217;t try to become the president cause you can&#8217;t relate to me or 99% of most Americans. Go home Mitt &#8212; we don&#8217;t want what you&#8217;re selling!</p>

<p>Ron Paul resonates with me &#8212; yes the main stream media doesn&#8217;t want him to run because he will win. He is the only one in the race that understands where we are and what it takes to move forward.</p>
<p>Mitt Romney, NO &#8212; the guy is slick and just another person bought by corporation and the media. He is NOT an average American. Romney has 5 houses and adjacent property worth an estimated $30 million. Can average Americans relate to him &#8212; NO.</p>

I just read that book to my niece the other night and I wake up feeling the same way. Our world is turning upside down and it doesn&#8217;t seem like the politicians are listening to the PEOPLE. Instead they are maintaining the status quo &#8212; people are out of work &#8212; they are loosing their homes and are unable to put food on their table but the gov&#8217;t doesn&#8217;t seem to care! Yes, it is WACKY Wednesday and I want to wake UP!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a bit off-topic for my blog but I write about many things especially when it is something that means alot to me. To top it all off I&#8217;ve watched many documentaries about the &#8220;war on drugs&#8221;. And as a citizen of the United States I would like to urge my government to STOP the war on drugs! We are becoming a POLICE state and we cannot legislate morality!</p>
<p>I am on a mission, a mission I wouldn&#8217;t have chosen on my own - but one that seems to have chosen me. I agree with Lysander Spoons that vices are not crimes. If you don&#8217;t know who Lysander Spoons is he was an entreprenuer, scholar, radical abolitionist, principled believer in natural law and liberty &#8212; he is one of the most provocative, eclectic and prolific American legal theorists of the 19th century. His writing continues to influence those today interested in consent, natural law, individual rights, and constitutional order in political theory and practice.</p>
<p>You can read his thoughts on this issue here: <a href="http://www.lysanderspooner.org/VicesAreNotCrimes.htm">http://www.lysanderspooner.org/VicesAreNotCrimes.htm</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve never watched <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/flipping-out">Bravo&#8217;s Flipping Out</a> with Jeff Lewis you&#8217;ve missed some good laughs and often, some awkward moments. And if you haven&#8217;t seen it then indulge yourself. So back to the title of the story - what I&#8217;ve learned from Jeff Lewis of Flipping Out - everything is negotiable - yes, that&#8217;s right - everything is negotiable. </p>
<p>Every week there is something new on the show and this season brings it back to reality, even Jeff is having money issues like everyone else. But how hard is it - he still has assistants, he has a housekeeper, he lives in a great house in LA and has a reality TV show. <img src='http://www.myvworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Jeff is funny, the greatest thing about the show is he can say some of the stuff without cracking a smile, when it is clearly a joke. </p>
<p>Funny, funny, funny &#8212; watch it when you get a chance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And proves looks and money don&#8217;t make you happy!</p>
<p>Another show that pulls you in but illustrates the dysfunctional nature of people&#8217;s lives. There is so much to talk about with this show but there is one couple in particular, George and Lina. This is a toxic relationship and being pregnant only worsens the problem. This is a classic example of relationship that needs to not happen and now the poor child is going to have to deal with this dysfunction. But as we watch the show it is revealed she &#8216;lost&#8217; the baby - or either had an &#8216;abortion&#8217; - sorry but this is the best thing that could have happened. My advice to George, turn, then run away, run as fast as you can - don&#8217;t look back and don&#8217;t let her reel you back in. There are hundreds of thousands of well-adjusted, real women who would love to connect with you. Where you could be happy!</p>
<p>George you are a good guy but you have to make a decision to get away from pyshco biatch women - Miami Social has portrayed you as a specific stereotype but you are beyond that - you are reaching out and it looks like you want more from life. Deep down you really want a normal woman but you choice in women is skewed. As noted before, turn and run from Lina, she is unreasonable, crazy, self destructive and has a low self-esteem. When George told her he loved her - she said, &#8220;no you don&#8217;t&#8221; and normal women don&#8217;t do that!</p>
<p>The cast of characters is really interesting - stay tuned for more commentary.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are some great sites around the net that allow you to share your photos with the world. But I wanted to take it step further, I wanted to be able to sell my photos as greeting cards, poster prints, or even have them printed to canvas. So I started doing a bit of research which led me to ImageKind.com a subsidary of CafePress. Some may be familiar with CafePress - a cool site that gives you the opportunity to sell you stuff printed on t-shirts, mugs, etc.</p>
<p>Imagekind.com is a few years old and offers over 750,000 high-quality fine art images for sale. So there is quality and stability behind the company, but another feature I liked about them is that is gives you, the artist, the ability to connect with other artists. It is the world’s first community to serve as a hybrid art gallery, photo-sharing service and a print-on-demand service. In addition they&#8217;ve, Imagekind has partnered with leading brands such as Walgreens, Snapfish, Flickr, HP and Costco.com which opens up the market much wider to new, upcoming artists to distribute to the widest possible online audience.</p>
<p>Checkout my galleries on <a href="http://iThinkMedia.ImageKind.com">iThinkMedia.Imagekind.com</a>! <img src='http://www.myvworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Oakwold Plantation, Evergreen Louisiana</p>
<p>Oakwold Plantation is set adjacent to Bayou Huffpower roughly four miles east of the town of Bunkie.</p>
<p>Oakwold Plantation home was built about 1835 by William Pearce, the great-great-greatgrandfather of the present owner. Pearce came to the area from Georgia and purchased the site of the house in 1833. According to family tradition he had built the house by Christmas of 1835, and soon after its completion, Sam Houston, who was in the area soliciting funds for his Texas army, paid Oakwold a visit. The parlor where Houston was entertained has long been known as the &#8220;Houston Room&#8221;</p>
<p>Henry Kemper acquired the house in 1888, modified the plan, and added the great central dormer. In 1897 Porter Wright acquired the house, further modified the plan and added the present porch. Eight generations of the same family have lived at Oakwold.</p>

But this time it isn&#8217;t about loosing weight - its about getting healthy in both my body and spirit. So here are the first three songs I&#8217;ll be using in my cardio portion of my daily workout.</p>
<p>They are all up-beat, high tempo songs that put you in a good mood - feel free to use them if you&#8217;d like.</p>
<p>Nikka Costa, Like a Feather (3:15)</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BiI_caFfquA&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BiI_caFfquA&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Christina Aguilera, Candyman (3:15) - This will get your feet swinging!<br />
<a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ_7srmo5cE' >Christina Aguilera - Candyman!</a></p>
<p>Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sweet Home Alabam (5:42) Yes, takes me back to my high school dances! Those were the days.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IwWUOmk7wO0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IwWUOmk7wO0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Everlast, Saving Grace (3:11) This is the last one in the routine because it has a slower tempo - but it is good to cool down too.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vxu21fYnKMw&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vxu21fYnKMw&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<h3>Oldies but Goodies that have nothing to do with working out!</h3>
<p>Led Zeppelin: Stairway to Heaven (10:55) - Okay this really isn&#8217;t a song to workout to - but I had to include it because I love it and it brings back so many memories from my youth!</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/81eSIwsLcWg&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/81eSIwsLcWg&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t followed this show from the beginning. For me it often gets more interesting when there are 3 or 4 top finalists. But the disappointment of the show is they are archetypes and I often can predict what is going to happen so it isn&#8217;t much fun. </p>
<p>This season there has been alot of speculation about the final episode so it will be interesting to see if it plays out this way. I also appreciated what Deanne said to him - she was so right on when she told him to let his heart lead him. This was a profound statement because we often let our emotions rule our heart in the whirlwind of falling in love. But as I&#8217;ve seen over the years, my parents have proven that love is patient, kind, and everlasting. It is not judgemental but supportive.</p>
<p>Of the two women on the show I identify most with Molly, she is reserved, smart, and totally committed once she gets the chance. Her character runs deep and she doesn&#8217;t give herself easily but when she does you know she&#8217;s given herself fully. Very similar to me - I don&#8217;t show many emotions but I&#8217;m steady, honest, and committed. </p>
<p>My prediction, Jason follows the heart in the moment and asks Melissa to marry him. He then has second thoughts, knowing he made a mistake by not leading his heart and changes his mind. Then in the private final ceremony in the studio he asks Molly to marry him. My thought is that even though Molly loves him she doesn&#8217;t forgive him, she doesn&#8217;t want to play second fiddle, although she does give him a chance to redeem himself and gain her trust again.</p>
<p>So lets see &#8212; the drama will be played out in the next 2 hrs!</p>
<p>BTW: If I were one of the finalists then I&#8217;d like to talk to his ex-wife to see what he&#8217;s really like and why they broke up. There is always two sides to every story.</p>
