The Pocket Car

Well I finally got another brand new and original video online. This one took a good bit of editing time because of all the audio work that had to be done. But I think it turned out really well. Hopefully it will give you a laugh or two, and ease the worries of the day for at least a few days. Remember, if you liked this video you can see more at www.notyetbroken.com.

Politics

It's funny how many times I have heard people say, "I am terrified about this election," or "this election really scares me." It seems like every election we have is the "most important in history" and if the other guy gets elected, than half the country is just going to move to Canada.
Now I am not here to say the election is not important or that your vote will not matter. What I do want to say is, relax people! Your life is not going to end because your candidate loses the election. Times may get tougher, but they may not. Things might even get better! The fact of the matter is, one person, no matter how powerful, cannot control your life. No matter who gets elected, there will still be hope for our country. We have had both Republican and Democrat presidents for years, and our country and people have survived them all.
Change has been talked about a lot in this election. While I think it would be great for everyone to have healthcare and a great education and be well-fed, I do not think the government are the ones who will get it done. I worked for FEMA one summer and saw first hand how inadequate the government can be at handling problems. I am convinced that everything they did could have been done for at least half the cost and at five times the speed.
If we want to see change in the world, we need to stop waiting on a politician to fix everything. Politicians have been promising the good life for years, and many of their promises have still not come true. The entire culture needs help, and neither the President, nor the huge bureaucracy, will be able to fix it. Every person who has more than they need must do their part to help those who do not have their needs met. It is then, and only then, that real change will occur in this country and our world.
If you are looking for ways to do your part, there are some great ideas on the website. Some will cost a little bit of money, and some will only cost you a few minutes of time. All of them, however, will help bring about change. So take a second and be the change you want to see happen in the next election by visiting Not Yet Broken.
Have a great day

Life

You know, I was walking the other day and it was a cool fall night. I looked up through the trees and saw the sky and just felt so good to be alive. It gets pretty easy to take things for granted and I complain a heck of a lot more than I should, but when it all comes down to it I have been given the awesome gift of life. And that is a pretty big gift. So as you go through the day, take time to just pause and be grateful you are alive. I know it is a really cliche thing to say, but if you are anything like me you rarely do it. Hope you're having a great day!

The Coming of Fall

Living in the great state of Georgia means experiencing the joys of intense and humid heat for the entire summer. But October has brought a new air, and I am loving it. There is something about the fall that just makes you enjoy every breath. The leaves are beginning to change, and it is amazing to see the different colors bursting forth from the formerly green leaves. And the smell, it is like the air has somehow become more wise. I'm not even sure what that really means, but it just seems to be the case. I hope you have a great Fall, because there is something special about it, and I'd hate for you to miss out.
