Cherney’s Life Story

I applied for a new job recently.  Don’t know what will come of it, but I am really excited for the change.

I have been at my current job for so long that it just feels comfortable, like an old glove.  It would be a big change for me to move out and try something new, as I have been connected to my current employer for many many years.

Honestly, I am a little nervous. . but these nerves also bring excitement.  The chance to fail, or succeed is very inspiring.   Why would I want to leave a job that pays well, and gives me the hours I need?   Good question.  I haven’t an answer to it.  I know that I like to be rewarded for hard work, and I know that I want the oppertunity to get promoted.  I know that I am not a fan of unions, and I know that I like to work with others that have the same interests as myself.  I also know that I like to try new things, and I like to play and have fun.  What does that have to with anything?  I don’t know.  I just thought I would add it.

Where is this wonderful place??  I can’t tell.  It is a secret.  Until I get a little further in the process, I will keep it to myself.  Inquiring minds will have to wait to see. .  If anyone read this blog, they could ask and I would tell.

Would the pay be better?  Probably not.  Would the hours be better??  Probably not.

What about school.  It is still priority one. When I start something, I like to finish it.  It is my commitment to myself.  Will I use the education??  Don’t know. . but when does an schools work against you?  I would love to take programming courses, but I think that could come later.

Blah blah blah.

Oh, wait.  This is my blog. .  I can continue to write all about me.  That is why you came here, right?

Well, not much more to say.

I had a dream that I was working somewhere else, and it felt really good.

Now, don’t get me wrong. My job is awesome.  No formal complaints.  Just whining.

Over the course of the weekend, I played 5 ultimate games.  Yes, I said 5.

Each game was 90 minutes or so long, so that equals a whole lot of playing time.

The weather was great, and my team was awesome.  Well, I played with two different teams. . and both were awesome.  My primary team had 11 guys, only 5 play at a time.   I kind of get restless, and jumped ship to a team who had no subs, or in other words. . 4 guys.

I ran very hard, and played even harder.  My whole body hurts at the moment.

Not as much as it could. . . thankfully.

My feet probably hurt the most, as they were be used all day.  The rest of my body doesn’t feel all that bad.

I wish I would have taken some photos, as the memory of the tournament my fade over time.

I had a heck of a time, and I hope I get the privilege of playing once again next year.

I really liked this article.

Sometimes I need to follow the advice of this blog.  It is pretty straight forward, and completely honest.

You know who I would like to see as Obama’s VP?

I bet you will never guess it.

To me, it would be the “dream ticket”.

Would Al Gore, please stand up!

Imagine, if he ran as Obama’s VP.  Not only would history be made with a Obama as President, but Al would be hold the record for the longest amount of time in office.  Two history making categories, on one super ticket.

Gore brings creditability to our nations commitment to the environment, and understands the importance of other national matters.

If John McCain were to become elected as President, I think it will be time for us to become Canadians.  The northern boarder would be really good.  Join me on my march north!  I don’t think I would be proud to be an American if he is in office.

Also, why is it that most blue states have a higher level of education than red states?  Do the blue states know something the red states don’t?  Maybe it should be the mission of the blue states to go to the reds and preach the good word.   Like an eighteen year old Mormon on a mission, or a Christian trying to convert a Buddhist, we the educated need to pass our knowledge onto the those who don’t understand.     Turn red to blue, and make our country great again.

On a side note, imagine of the military were unionized?  If the soldiers didn’t want to engage in Bush’s Iraq war, they could have gone on strike.  Give the power back to the people.

This is a letter I sent to Roland Martin, after reading his article on CNN. Click Here to read it.

Good morning.

I read your article discussing why our nation doesn’t vote on a weekend, instead of a Tuesday.

You make a very compelling argument, however, I would have to ask why vote by mail wasn’t mentioned?

I am an Oregon resident, and we only vote by mail. This system works very well, and doesn’t limit us to voting on a single day. We are giving the liberty of voting at our leisure during the course of a couple of weeks.

If we don’t change the day we vote on, perhaps we should change the way we vote!

I started a facebook page over the weekend.  Wild, right?

Well, I feel so Web 2.0 now.

I am connecting with people I haven’t spoken to in a long time, and remembering friends names I totally forgot about.

Also, it is pretty neat seeing photos of old high school friends.

Anywho.

Yeah.

Facebook is good, not evil.  Myspace is evil.
