July 6, 2010 . Check this out, I'm not kidding OUCH! While the rest of the country including us here in San Antonio are in the process of passing laws that prohibit "texting" while driving, but here in Texas (Austin,TX) we have special rules in place that do allow certain people to continue that very same practice and allows them to get away with commiting a crime while doing so! This video PROVES that Policemen can be just as distracted and  stupid as the rest of the motorist that do texting while driving. Does this stupid rule also apply if Policemen run over and kill someone while they are in the process of "entering their mobile data" as they call it? Here is my opinion to all this %#x@ BS rules that help and protect most civil servants and I know many of you. From the very start of your civil service job you stand in a welfare type of line just to apply for that job, and sometimes line up the night before. You get a starting salary based on collective barganing from the labor union in place and Not based on any education level you have or expertise. After a few months on the job along with the biggest paychecks you ever received OR will ever.  You aquire a false sense of intelligence. "Ever heard the term Going Postal" This term plays in a factor that whatever you are doing in life did not require any dicipline  to attain. (EDUCATION)

Oh and while I'm on the subject , here in San Antonio a few years ago , our SAPD union boss was brought up on criminal charges. In lew of going to trial and losing his pension, He accepted a PLEA deal from our DA and retired in order to protect and receive his pension. Just guess WHO is paying for that criminal's pension.

I am so mad about so many issues that it is just to much to for me to separate into several articles. From Our own Texas DPS to our city that one of our Finest be only issued a misdemeanor violation ( a ticket ) for being involved in an accident that caused the death of someone.......All that Oil in the Gulf that was allowed to reach our shoreline. While our special subcommittees in D.C. found it more important to have hearings just to play the BLAME game. Remember the wildlife there anyone? This is not just the Gulf's Wetlands, it is America's Wetlands.. I am also very disappointed  at the local turnout for protesting the Immigrating law in Arizona. When I heard the other night that we could only produce under 300 in attendance, I was #%* off. After learning that from Austin, Houston, Dallas, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles had anywhere from Thousands to hundreds of thousands in support of the protest. I don't even know how to put into words except that I was selling raspas at Conception Park when I was 12 yrs old and had I remained content making what I thought then was alot of $$ I probably would still be doing that very same. For those of you who would rather remain silent "A MAN WHO GIVES UP HIS ARMS AND LIBERTIES  FOR PEACE AND SECURITY, WILL SOON HAVE NEITHER"....Thomas Jefferson..

I can't believe what the local news reported today (2-26-10). A San Antonio Police officer was arrested for sexual assault while on duty. To make matters worse is that he was placed on administrative PAID leave pending the investigation. So for the moment he is being rewarded a free paid vacation (paid for by us the taxpayer). Due to our weak local political leaders who won't do anything about the absurd union contract with the Police department, this (PAID LEAVE) CLAUSE in the contract is simply another assault on us the taxpayer. This is the very same type of injustice that makes people (taxpayers) fly their planes into Government buildings as in the tragedy in Austin,Tx last week.

I can't believe I saw a SAFD truck stuck in a low water crossing a few weeks ago on the local news. I am wondering who the city is going to charge now? Normally , they have a fee imposed on us  normal people like $ #%*. However, the people who usually SAVE us are the ONE's NEEDING TO BE RESCUED.!... iS the city going to impose that same fee on the driver of the Fire Truck (NOT) Or use an excuse that it was part of his duty with the city? I remember a few years back watching the local news, The SAFD was trying to rescue a man when the rescuer a SAFD person slipped and went with the rushing water and later when he was walking back  not realizing the TV news camera was on him caught him mumbling "I can't believe how stupid some of these people are." Well , all I have to say now is, Who's stupid now? "Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what your gonna get."

Im Mad

I can't believe I had a stroke;  as much as I am blessed, saved....etc, etc., where was God when I needed him?  He immediately sent me an angel Ms. Cano who recognized my condition, she sent for help and help is what I received.  Had a brief but very compassionate visit at Christus hospital in Beeville, then transported to Corpus Christi by an ambulance from hell....seems like the shock absorbers were made for a 800lb euro car!! We arrived at Christus Spohn hospital on Shoreline Drive and as I was being taken out of the ambulance I caught a view of the Gulf and felt the ocean breeze And Just Like That GOD SHOWED UP!!  I am receiving first rate treatment from compassionate professional staff here at Christus Spohn and did I mention the view of the Gulf from my room.......I know, poor me. Oh, I will never have an MRI again-felt like a Hannibal Lecter mask was placed on my face, slid into a tube and heard loud noises on each side of my head that reminded me of the music they play for JAWS.  I was told not to move it will only take a minute and a half, then the voice said 45 seconds, 20 seconds......felt like a countdown to WHAT?  Where is the #*!!! eject button?!?

 I would like to personally praise the nurses, PT's, OT's and speech therapists that have encouraged me. I would like to mention one of my physical therapist named Armia, he reminds me of Ramses (Moses) and guess where he is from?  EGYPT 

Personal note to my church family........I'll be Back!!!!!  To my families and friends- Thank you for your prayers and blessings. I love you!  Having God in my life has made me a better man and have realized how our lord always has our backs.... I agree with the statement "life is like a box of chocolates you'll never know what you're going to get."
