Today IZEA is 2 years old and I for one am very happy about that. They have helped me so much over the last year or so I have been with them. I have been able to catch up on some debt I have and hopefully finish that up within the next few months. Also I may be able to buy a home because of them. I love the company and hope to see it grow to much more over the next year and beyond.

So Happy Birthday IZEA. Lets make this year better and more profitable then next year.

That sounds great doesn’t it. It sounds like the answer to everyones problems and according to what I read just a few minutes ago it is. Here is the problem with that statement, is there a part time job available for you? Does your full time job allow you to work a part time job. Do you have a job in the first place?

What I read makes getting out of debt sound easy, guess what for most people it’s not. In fact I had a talk with my mom yesterday about this. We have never had extras. Well me and her, my sisters eat out all the time and buy junk. They apparently have the money to do that, oh yeah thats because they took all of mine a few years ago. Anyway the point: We don’t have the extras to cut out, my mom can’t get a part time job because her full time job will not let her. I just can’t find work at all.

It seems I am screwed according to these experts. I can’t take any of their advice, because I have never had the money to do the things they keep saying to cut out. Those extras like going out to eat once or twice a week, going to a move every weekend, or buying that out fit 3 times a month. Yes those are extras for those who don’t know. So here is my question, where is the help for the people who really need it, not the ones who spend too much money because they can’t figure out that money out needs to be equal to or less then money in.

There is a huge reason I complain about not finding a job. I live in Michigan. Where the unemployment rate is now over 8% well above the national average of about 5%. If you don’t believe me read about the problems. Yahoo has a great article about the economic problems here. If you don’t feel something you are heartless.

Many of these people will never see the jobs they once had come back, auto companies are gone forever no matter what some people here say. It just cost too much to pay people here. Unions have killed the auto industry.

The story talks about people my age trying to find work. One homeless who is worried he won’t get a job because he doesn’t have a phone number, just email. I’m assuming he checks it at a local library or at school. Yes he is homeless and a student. One man won’t even put his degree on his resume because he’s afraid of being told what I have been, your overqualified.

I have heard people in other states claim that they have it the hardest with gas prices and the housing market, but they are working and the jobs in their areas are either stable or growing some. How do they have it hard when we have nothing, are losing our jobs and no hope of anything for a while. Our Governor is working hard to get industry here in Michigan, but it’s not easy, even then they will not employ as many people as the auto industry and it will take years to catch on.

So next time your looking at high gas prices and heading to your job, think about the people who are having to pay these high gas prices just to find a job, many who unfortunately won’t be finding anything for a long time. They are the ones hurting the most.

I’m reading on yahoo as I usually end up doing a few times a day and I come across this story on global warming and how we really could be in some big trouble soon. Now I was enjoying my reading until I got to this part.

Longtime global warming skeptic Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., citing a recent poll, said in a statement, “Hansen, (former Vice President) Gore and the media have been trumpeting man-made climate doom since the 1980s. But Americans are not buying it.”

Taken from Yahoo

The first though in my head after reading this was “who are you to tell me what I believe and what I think!” Personally I feel that most Americans are not stupid and can see what is right in front of their damn face. Now if this man stopped getting his income from oil and other environmentally harming companies then maybe he would see differently.

This brings me to my question, the title of my post. Global Warming are you buying it or do you think it’s just a made up dooms day scenario?

I was reading today about how diabetics are at a higher risk of a heart attack then most other people. Pretty much we are at the same risk of having a heart attack as someone who has already had one. The reason being is that we usually have huge blood pressure issues that don’t get checked or we ignore. Now I have always watched my blood pressure and tried to make sure it stayed down. That was until I became diabetic and didn’t know I was. Now I work hard to keep it down.

One way I do this is by trying to stay as relaxed as possible. This can sometimes be a hard task for many people and you may want to check into a product like AbsoluteCalm a natural safe remedy for stress. The best part about this product is that it also comes with a 30 day empty bottle money back grantee. How many companies do that? Most will only accept it if there is something left in the bottle or only give you 10 days. I usually don’t try things because they just don’t give you enough time to really try it out.

Right now I use yoga, deep breathing and exercise to control my stress and blood pressure. Hopefully I can keep it under control and avoid any unwanted complications.

I’m a huge NASCAR fan, but even I think this is just a little crazy. Don’t get excited I’m actually on the side of the person suing NASCAR, if all of this can be proven. According to the article I read the women, Mauricia Grant is suing NASCAR for racial and sexual discrimination. She was an official who worked hard but was treated unfairly. Apparently men exposed themselves to her, called her and other women workers lesbians because they didn’t sleep with them or at least flirt back. She was also fired eventually because of her complaining and so was another women. A few officials were named were Balash, assistant series director Mike Dolan, supervisors Alan Shephard and Dennis Dillon.

I don’t find this completely surprising as if you look at NASCAR’s roots, it’s southern. Now I’m not saying that all southern people are like this, but when I lived in Texas I did notice a huge increase in the amount of people that are vocal about their dislike of other races and even the north. I can’t tell you how many times I was told I was a stupid Yankee by one man where I lived.

I hope that the top guys at NASCAR can do something and will do something about this if these allegations are true. That needs to be proven first and it sounds very possible. I guess it will be something to watch out for and see what happens.
