Mo' Money, Mo' Problems for China

China is realizing that what Biggie said is true: "Mo Money, Mo Problems". They are about to hit 1 Trillion dollars in US Cash (or equivalents) on hand... and they are having a hard time figuring out what to do without causing problems in their economy...

Without being an economist (only took 15 hrs in college, prolly close to a minor), and not really studying this situation, my comment is: "Gee maybe if you did want a free economy, instead of trying to finance ours, everyone would be better off". Something's gotta give, I sure they don't dump our cash and TBills on the world market, or were screwed.

Update

Sorry that this blog's been on hiatus for a while. I've been really busy and the last thing I've wanted to do lately was type anymore on a computer.

Recent News:

• I got engaged!!! Which is awesome. I think the day couldn't have gone more perfect. We had a picnic planned at Forest Park near the Grand Basin (pictured on the right). Where we had wine and cheese and sandwhiches. After a while we walked over to the water and down the stairs where I got on one knee and asked Jen to marry me. She said yes (thank God). About a half hour later we went to the boathouse at Forest Park where a bunch of our family and friends met us. Perfect Day!!!
  
• We've set a date, it's next April 14th!!!
• I've been extra swamped at work as our business continues to grow. (Which is really a good thing)
• My house is for sale, but hasn't sold yet. If you know anyone who needs a house in O'Fallon, MO drop me a comment and I'll give you the address.
  

That's about it. All of which is big news. Eventually I will get back to posting on this site.

Oh yeah, one thing I saw that bothered me. I got an email from GOPUSA that mentioned something I thought was important. The US has found 500 WMDs in Iraq and no-one seems to care or mention it in the mainstream media. All of these have been chemical weapons, but still after all the complaints, you'd think they would pick it up.

God's Winning (of course)

Just thought this was funny.




Also, notice that St. Louis is the city to search for God the 3rd most often in the states. Good job StL.

Music Update

I've been really busy lately, which means unfortunately I haven't had time to update the design of this blog...

Anyway, I've been busy buying a lot of 'tunes to work out to' off of itunes over the last week. I'm really impressed with two albums I've bought in the last few days:

• Wolfmother's debut is like a cross between Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and Black Sabbath. Other than the weirdness of the lyrics (kinda similar to some Zeppelin tunes) it's pretty sweet 'modern' classic rock.
  
• The new RHCP Stadium Arcadium is pretty awesome. This has always been one of my favorite bands and this is a great double disk.
  

Site Template & Cindy Sheehan

I ended up losing my site template by accident so all links are currently off. As soon as I have the free time I'll update the template and add some outbound links back up. As you probably have noticed I also haven't posted in a while. Nothing major going on lately. I've been to 4 Cardinals games and have some good pics (especially from the home opener at new busch) I'll have to post them soon.

Random Rant:
I came across something about Cindy Sheehan that upset me. Apparently she hasn't even bothered to put a tombstone or grave marker up on Casey's grave yet. This is true and rather annoying. While's she's off exploiting the memory of her deceased son and criticizing our country with Marxists, she can't even add a friggin grave marker on his grave. I'm glad I haven't caught any coverage of her in a while, I can't stand her.

Another thing that upsets me is Joey Buttafucco and Amy Fischer. I was at my mom's last night for dinner and Entertainment Tonight (or one of the other similar shows, access hollywood, etc.) was on and they had a 5 minute special with Amy and Joey meeting up and promised more coverage tomorrow. DOES ANYONE REALLY CARE???? Why do these freaking dirtbags rate as entertainment news? I've never understood why the entertainment media suddenly makes 'average' citizens lives /problems / deaths news stories worthy of several 'news' cycles.

Two other random citizens whose stories became front page / acess hollywood news from off the top of my head, Lacey Peterson and Natalee Holloway. I don't know them, they are not celebrities, I'm upset about what happened to them, but unfortunately murders happen pretty often in this country. Why were their tragic deaths the most talked about news during the time it happened? I don't know...

Media coverage in general is so annoying. Do I care what crazy Tom Cruise is doing these days? I'm probably in the minority when it comes to this stuff, but I could care less what any of these celebrities do with their personal time. Do I care how Nick or Jessica are getting along or how their divorce is going?

(my rant is winding down now)
Speaking of Hollywood, one more point... Why can't Hollywood make a good original screenplay? (Please don't suggest Brokeback Mountain). Everything is a remake and in a lot of cases these days, the remakes are of crappy originals... The only movies that I have really enjoyed lately are movies that are made from comic books (x-men, spiderman, etc...) or from books (narnia, bourne identity & supremacy). Good Will Hunting was a good screenplay, Rounders was a great screenplay, A Bronx Tale, Platoon, Godfather, etc... Where have these movies gone? If you have seen one great movie please let me know what is was and why you liked it.
I'll start it off, the last movie I saw and loved was Walk the Line.

Cya,
