My daughter Mali really keeps me going. She loves the snow. Take a look at the video below and see her have a blast while I take some time off from doing web design.
Now that this is done back to doing some web design for my Atlanta websites.
Please send your comments from the blog comments below.
Mali would love to hear from you!

She Bled…
Know that somebody cared enough to sacrifice. To SAY This… That:
Krishunee Watkins was a perfect person.
She was Sweet.
She was Kind.
She was Loved.
She was UNSPOILED in every way……
But the Lord chose to let her leave us and so many of us to question why. I don’t know why and I won’t pretend I do. But one thing I do know, that her family loves her in an unlimited way. And they grieve in a way that screams to the ends of the universe. And so it is. And so it must be.
She bled…

BofA corrupt?
You know I have tried to keep quiet during this so-called recession until now but I saw a TV commercial tonight that peaked my curiosity and then I looked and then I became outraged and so should you!
BofA claims on the TV commercial I saw tonight (6/7/09) to have lent 1.4 billion in home loans over the last quarter. Sounds pretty good, huh?
Well myself being a sort of a smart guy and pretty good with numbers this sort of sounded funny. So I walked to my computer and hit the good old calculator and guess what. This really didn’t surprise me but that the number was so ridiculous that I just about popped an aneurism.
Here it is, check it out. Here’s the number $1.4 billion. ($1,4000,000,000.00). Now do me a little favor. Divide that into an average quarter. 120 days. Now you’ll get another number. 11.6 million dollars per day. ($11,600,000.00). Now here’s where it starts to get really hilarious. I thought, gee, that doesn’t really sound like a lot of money for a big bank like BofA, does it? But then I thought, how many mortgages is that anyhow? So I divided that number, ($11,600,000.00) into the average home price, ($100,000.00) and I saw that BofA is helping finance a total of 116 homes per day, or thereabouts.
So then I really thought, wow, that doesn’t sound like really that much does it? So I thought how many branches does good old BofA have anyway? Guess what? I searched for almost an hour and could not find out how many. Apparently even BofA don’t know how many. But that’s cool, I just wanted a sort of general idea so I just did some averaging. I could not really say for sure but I thought gee wizz BofA has at least 50 branches per state and there are 50 states so that’d be about 2500 branches.
So okay, let’s take our BofA published number of daily homes mortgaged and divide that into 2500. Hmmm. Divide 116 by 2500 equals 0.0464. Ouch, this is really confusing, no? Let’s put it another way, let’s just divide the number of loans per day into the number of States we have here. 116 divided by 50 equals 2.32.
Now I know this is probably a gross underestimate but now do you really want to laugh (or cry)? Do me just one more little favor, think 2.32 loans per state per day? Or even think 3 loans per state per day. What a total joke!
BofA thinks you are an idiot. I hope you realize this. Send your comments; it’s the only way you can help make things better!

Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I had a dream last night that made me change the way I look at American foreign policy. It was a simple dream. Nothing real dramatic. There was just a man. A middle eastern man. I think he might have been from Palestine. He was wearing a red turbine looking thing. He was looking right at me. He seemed confused. I mean he seemed just a little perplexed.

The dream, which is a shared dream, has been waking for a long time. Recently, Obama has inspired myself and others to take action in our community. We see an opportunity for change. We see a chance to get rid of the same old people and make room for a new generation of people who will take ownership of their futures, their finances, their education, their government.
It is not okay with us that people like Hillary and McCain are even being considered in light of their horrible records and negative campaign tactics. Same old; same old. We want change, and are willing to sacrifice, even fight for it. In our homes, in our businesses, in our churches, there is a hope that has not been seen since the days of Robert and Martin.

Rockdale County is making it known that they intend to attack Eastside Pavilion Office Suites for just trying to help small business people. Recently they attempted to deny a business license to a legitimate business person on the grounds of parking space assignment. Then the next day they refused to issue the same on the grounds that Eastside Pavilion Office Suites has no business license, which indeed it does, in the name of Realty Venture Group, LLC, which they very well know and have on record there.

Is it just me or do the clouds look different than when I was a little boy in Concord California? I can remember these huge beautiful puffy white clouds that would just sort of ease their way from one side of the sky to the other. They would often take other forms like dragons, birds, animals or other mysterious shapes seemingly transforming right before my eyes. They were beautiful. They were way up there. High, high above. They were a source of certainty, a part of the world, or so it seemed. Read more »
