Slow Posting

February 7th, 2007 . by Cary

Sorry I haven’t been keeping everyone up to date – so here’s a bit of a catch-up post.

Saturday – TMBWitW, MEG, and I attended Glendale Chocolate Affaire, first to look around a bit, and second to do some preliminary name dropping. Two things became quickly clear – I needed to have a small business card to hand out to people, or they would never remember me, and second, the hopes I had for starting a Chocoholics Anonymous were dashed, for the simple reason that nobody wanted to quit.

Sunday – normal stuff here, went to church Sunday evening, then back home to wait out MEG falling asleep on her schedule…

Monday I got to talk to Jenn and Dave on My Point BlogRadio. Fun and hilarity ensued.

Since then, I’ve been job searching. And job searching. And job searching. No wonder I haven’t been posting!

This afternoon I got started on the pulpit for the new church, since the foundation was poured this week. Figured I might as well have that ready to go when the new church building opens.

Thanks for allowing me to indulge in some minor catching up.

No Theocracy!(?)

February 3rd, 2007 . by Cary

I am confused. Someone, please explain.

The party (Democrat) most associated with the group (Liberal) who decries the establishment of a theocracy in this country turns to – an imam? – to open the DNC meeting. (tip of the hat to Vanishing American for the heads-up)

Very good move, guys – ask the role models of theocracies to lead your choice for government in prayer. No, that doesn’t appear to conflict with your messages against nationally established religions at all. */sarcasm*

For the record – I believe in Freedom of Religion – as stated, not freedom FROM religion, as spouted by the more liberal members of our society. Establishing a theocracy (of any stripe) would defeat the Freedoms – not only of Religion, but Peaceable Assembly, Press, Speech, and Movement that we all enjoy now.

Don’t believe me? Ask any citizen of an islam-controlled nation how freely they may express their dissatisfaction with the leadership of their country.

Lord, show us all the error of our ways that we may better ourselves. Forgive us for being obstinate, and soften our hearts while opening our ears. Above all, Lord, Your will, not ours.

Cary, Are You Qualified To Be President?

February 2nd, 2007 . by Cary

According to this, I am.

I am at least 35 years old. (at least!)

I was born in the United States.

I have been a resident of the United States for at least fourteen years prior to the elections on November 4, 2008.

And, I’ve been getting increasingly upset about how the career politicians have been running this country into the ground.

Oh, wait – that last part isn’t in Article 2, is it? I think it should be an amendment, along with term limits for any representative. Like, two terms maximum. Lifetime, any party, any affiliation, any office. Pick the office you want to run for, and if elected, serve your time. Then get out and go back to being a citizen. Let another citizen-statesman step up to the plate. I personally feel this should be the case for any elected office, from President to State Mine Inspector.

Friday = Wear Red to Support Your Troops

Go here. Buy a shirt, wear it on Fridays, and declare your support for the troops.

I’ll be at the Glendale Chocolate Affaire tomorrow (2/2/2007) to shake hands and introduce myself to potential voters. The Affaire runs today through Sunday, but today is busy, and Sunday is – well, Sunday. That’s a family day, not to be trifled with.

Remember to tell everyone you know to Make A Difference – Vote for Common Sense – Write-in Cary Cartter for President of the United States in November 2008.

Thursday Update

February 1st, 2007 . by Cary

Well, as it turns out I’m not a commissioned salesman. Don’t get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for anyone who can support a family on a commission (with very high regards for my Dad, who supported seven kids and Mom, while Mom was able to stay home and raise us).

Sales is not my bag.

Design and layout is my bag. So, even as I continue to run for President, I am right now concentrating on landing full-time employment.

In a conversation on another blog (I can’t remember which one; I visit a number of them and tend to drop in on conversations all over the place) it would seem I left a wrong impression on someone. This person thinks that if I don’t agree with something she said then I don’t think she has the right to say it. Quite the contrary, I will defend to the death her right to say anything she wants. In an attempt to get into a discussion about what she said, I asked for more detail, and she accused me of trying to silence her.

*sigh*

I didn’t want to label her a “typical liberal”, so I dropped the train of thought, and figured she would go on to annoy someone else. I haven’t heard from her here, so I’m thinking she has lost interest also; I just wanted to take a moment to clarify my stand on freedom of speech.

My beautiful daughter turned one month old on the 30th, and right now she is making me type with one hand because she isn’t sleepy.

I got a haircut today. No, wait, yesterday. Actually, I got them all cut; it’s cheaper that way.

I need to find a way to download all my posts, as a back-up, in the event that I should need to move off of BlogSpot. If anyone knows of a way, please drop me a line…
