Vegas

You know... when I was a little kid, I always told people that I'd never leave Vegas. That I would get married, have kids, and live in Las Vegas for my entire life. I LOVED it here. I know where everything is. A large chunk of my family lives here. My childhood was here. I have a pretty deep "hometown pride" thing going... That being said, we went on lots of roadtrips when I was a kid as well. Pismo Beach, Colorado, Seattle... Lots of fun places, that exposed me to different people and ways of life. That's when I opened my mind to maybe living somehwere else some day.

You, my dear reader, know that I semi-recently went on a vacation to the great state of Georgia to visit a good friend of mine, and my world changed. It's funny... the people who live there, some of whom I'm now friends with, have no idea how enchanting their state is. I can't explain how I felt there without sounding like a complete psychopath except to say that... I felt at home.

So, sweet reader, does this mean I'm moving to Georgia tomorrow? No. Obviously not. But would I rather be there than here right now? 

Yes.

Obamacare

Okay. I'm not overly find of turning this blog into a political soapbox, but this is important. 

Obamacare is stupid. I don't think that providing free healthcare for people who choose not to work is the right thing to do. I don't agree on how it's set up or how it's playing out. I don't think it's fair or right that hard working American people are having to pay for people who "can't afford" healthcare. Well, I have news for you Mr. President! With the hike in insurance premiums, co-pays and everything else, NO ONE can afford health insurance. 

I have a friend who has a family... A wife, a baby and a mortgage. With what he's going to have to pay with obamacare, they won't be able to to have any kind of life. It is costing them more in insurance than it is for the mortgage on their house and that is disgusting. 

Explain to me the logic someone. Please. 

It is no secret that I didn't vote for our nations leader last election. I actually tried to sway people the conservative way, but other politics aside... Obamacare isn't going to work. It's going to bankrupt millions of people and, in my opinion, could be the beginning of the downfall. We are already in a recession. Why in this world, Mr. President, do you need to make it worse?

Just my opinion. 

Georgia - The Finale

I've been thinking abd deciding for WEEKS about how to end the "Georgia series" I've had going on my blog the past month. I've typed and erased a dozen times, and still can't fully put into words how much I loved my experiences down there. I can't fully put into words how much I feel in love with the beautiful nature God created down there. I can't fully explain how much I miss the hilarious people I met there. And I can't express how much I love Georgia football.

To my newest friends... my Georgia friends... who I know will read this... in those short three days, you made me realize that there's a world outside of Vegas. You made me see that there are good, sweet people still left in the world. And you made me realize that Georgia football is the best thing I've ever seen. I had so many adventures with you all...from the shaved ice truck ya'll had outside of Matt's to going down to the River Walk and seeing the Savannah River  to drinking Rumplemints and that $6 bottle of cherry flavored whatever it was...to going to The Mo and watching movies under a sky filled with more stars than I've ever seen... To sitting inside of Zaxby's talking about how you all even dress differently than the people in my city. Oh! And don't forget the new words and phrases I learned while I was there!! Haha! It was an amazing trip, and I'll never forget it.

But don't worry, I'll be back ;)

Plans have been made. I need to continue my southern education.

Go dawgs :)
