I'm Sorry

Ok, I know in my past blogs I wrote that I hate following a blog that doesn't get updated regularly. I havn't posted since we got back from Disneyland. Plus, this is the first post in May. How 'bout that weather, eh? And the Jazz? Ok. Now that's over with let's get down to business.
Cheryl has made me give up politics because it makes me too angry. I hate listening to people who claim to be bringing you information that just turns out to be sensationalism or flat out lies. The Birthers, for example, are a group who still insist President Obama wasn't born in the US and there really isn't anything you can do to convince them otherwise including showing them over and over Obama's birth certificate. Then there's "Obamacare" and "Obama's recession", etc. I can't take it. And people believe it! That's what really bothers me. I have said before research your candidates and the issues. Come to your own opinion about everything. Don't just listen to radio shows and news programs to get your information. Read the bills that are put out by congress. Inform yourself before going and blindly voting for something. But I don't want to make this a political post. As I write this I am making more and more mistakes because just thinking about it is getting to me. I just want to say this and I will be done with politics (at least for now): I am not a Republican, I am not a Democrat, I am not a Conservative, I am not a Liberal, I don't subscribe to any one political party, I don't listen to right wing radio shows and there aren't any left wing radio shows to listen to, I don't watch Fox News and I don't watch CNN, I am not a communist or a socialist (as much as some people would like to believe), I don't agree with everything Obama has done and I am very glad that Bush is gone. Just so none of you get any ideas about me or my beliefs. I would also like to throw out there that you can disagree with your church's political activities and still believe in the teachings that you get from said church. I disagree with the way the LDS church has handled some political issues in the state and others but that doesn't change my belief in the doctrine of the church. I just don't think ANY church should be involved in politics. It's just like parenting; you teach your kids the right things and give them the tools to make good decisions and then you send them out in the world and hope what you did stuck with them so that they can make those good decisions. You can't force them to make the decisions you want any more than the church should be a factor in law making. So there you go. If you want to know my opinion on anything particular email me and I will tell you about abortion, gay marriage, school funding, or whatever. I won't get into it here.
So for now I will be writing about other things that interest me. I will talk about vacations we are going to go on not because I want to keep you up to date on everything my family does but to give insight into small changes that might occur in the relationships between family members. I will talk about things that I find interesting like the way certain things strike my fancy. You see a different city when you ride Trax downtown or up to the U. I really enjoy that. You also see more things when you ride the bus because you don't have to concentrate on the road. I get a lot of reading done on the train and the bus. It's all for pleasure reading not school work or anything like that. I enjoy all of my comic books that I am currently reading. It will be things like that from now on.
So here is the first new topic for May; Cheryl's new hair style.
Say what you want but I think she looks good with no hair. It's interesting and different but she's still the love of my life. And if you read my last post she's still sexy. Everyone at her work said that she is their hero. She was the only girl at her work to shave her head. In the picture is Mary, the one with cancer. She is grateful for all the support that she's been given and she thought that Cheryl and the IT guys shaving their heads was great. She had a great time with it all. When Cheryl told me she did this I had to join the party. I don't have any pictures of me with no hair yet but I will post them when I get them. Check back for more pictures. I'll post them here.

Thanks for reading
