New Beginings
New place, new friends, new blog layout. What a new blog layout has to do with the others, I have no idea. I guess it is just a time of change and I felt that new looks all around is what I needed to do. Keep in mind that I will be chageing this layout again at some point also. Not sure when but it will. If you link to my blog and would like a button to use here is on that I made up:
Use it in good health.
All of the archives now work as well. That was a big plus. I will get a pic up on my profile here shortly and maybe get a webcam page set up as well. I am now using the 'comment' feature built into Blogger. Seems more streamline then a pop-up window. I also fixed the RSS feed so now if you use a reader (Feed Reader) you can get the feed. I will be adding one to EAG Photos soon too. I think that is all for now so peace oot all.

Theft on Irish Run Road
At approximately 11:40 this morning two men in a late seventies early eighties full size truck with orange front panels and hood and grey cab and body pulled into our driveway. The passenger got out and knocked on the door. Upon no answer he motioned to the driver to pull forward. The passenger proceeded to pick up our gas pressure washer and put it into the bed of the truck. After getting back in the driver of the truck made a hasty retreat out of the driveway and headed towards State Route 250.
How do I know all of this? There was someone home, my 14 year old brother. He did what he was always told, 'If someone comes to the door and you do not know them do not answer it.'
I left at 11:20 and got back at 11:50. This took place in that amount of time. When I got home and found out we called my mom and came home and called the sheriff. A deputy came and took my brothers statement and we were informed that a truck matching that same description was spotted over the weekend in Gnadenhutten at several other thefts there.
I called Val to have her check the barn and tack room to make sure all was ok there. We were not sure if they went down the other drive way to there or not. Later this afternoon Val called me and said she spotted a truck that matched the description that I gave her. She was able to get a license plate number for us. Thank you Val. That number has been turned into the sheriff's department and now we just wait.

So much to say, yet so much I will not say
I know that I have not been posting as much as I did. I have had a lot going on.
It is coming close to the time of my departure, but I am having second thoughts. Not sure if it is my own fear, the things that have been said that I was not meant to hear or so it would seem, or is it something else. I am not sure anymore. Are my own deep personal secretes that I have kept inside for so long beginning to want to be out? Am I just being the nice person and not wanting to hurt anyone so I say, nothing?
My whole life I have kept stuff inside and not let it out. I know, this is not what you should do. That is the way my family is. You have a problem, you go to church say the rosary, you do not talk about it, and all is right again. That is all fine and good, but that does not work for everyone. I am not putting religion down in any way; I am just a lot more open minded about stuff then my family is. Old school catholic would be the best way to describe them. The type that feel you have to go to a catholic school, volunteer more time then you have, marry a catholic, and every family should have a priest if not every generation every other generation. Guess who the chosen one in my family was/is? As I said I am not putting religion down, I know the majority of people in the world feel that religion is a key part of life and I hold nothing against them. It is when their views and beliefs are pushed upon others that I get upset.
What this post was meant to be was for those of you I have talked to in the past couple of weeks and I seemed distant or not wanting to talk, it was not you. I am dealing with a lot of things and the support I am getting is not coming from the places it should be coming from and the problems are coming from all over so I do not want to confront some of the old one and create new ones at this time. Seems complicated and a mess, and it is but it will get sorted out in the end. So just give me time and I will be back to my old self. And keep checking this blog; this might be one of the last posts for a couple of weeks or maybe a month. I will be back. Thanks for reading.

911 In Plane Site
That is the title of Chris Pirillo's recent post. But it is also the name of a movie that he is talking about. Also this lovely site Letsroll911.org. Is it true? Is it accurate? Or are some people just grasping at whatever conspiracy theory they can?

Most controversial movie
Just got back from seeing Fahrenheit 9/11. I thought that this was a very good movie. I do not agree with all of Michael Moore's ideas but for the most part I think that he hit the nail on the head with this one. Bush sucks so what more can I say.

Musical balls
Everyone has got to see this video (right click and 'download as'). It is very safe for work, so do not let the url or name fool you. Just download it.
Webhosts are crazy
First I have no host now I do. I have been looking for a new webhost this weekend because my account with ValueWeb is up. I got an email from them this morning saying that I needed to pay up. I replied back to them telling them that I was not going to continue with them because of some of the problems I have had, email servers down for almost a week for one. I just got a reply back and they are going to give me a free couple of weeks. I guess they are trying to keep as many unhappy customers as they can. I am not staying with them no matter what. I did however find the webhost I will be going with, VizaWeb. They Pro Plan is the one I am looking at. Heck that Starter Plan is even pretty good. I think someone needs to consider that for Politik7. Anyways they offer alot more for alot less. And Leo Laporte uses them so how can it be bad.
