Dating Site? Say what?

Yes I am a Mitt Romney supporter! I cannot believe the types of things people are saying about him on forums. One of my favorites has to be that he found his wife on a Millionaire dating site.
I got a chuckle out of that one! When Romney has had a chance to explain the allegations that he is getting from his competitors, he knocks it out of the ball park.

I cannot believe how much flack he is getting from being successful. Is that the only thing people can come at him with? Sure he is successful. Would you want a president who was not successful in business? We need a businessman in the White House to get us over the bad economy.

No I do not agree with everything he says, especially with a certain topic in Arizona, but that can be changed...please Mitt! I would like to see a free America for everyone North and South. I believe we need to take better care of our neighboring countries, but hey maybe I will save that for when I run for President...Maybe not about the President thought...That is a tough job!

Computer Based Training

Having spent over 10 years in the technology industry, I have had the chance to attend many trainings. My favorite are computer based trainings. I would like to discuss two reasons why I enjoy computer based trainings.

When I attend non-computer based trainings, I tend to get distracted easily. Whether it is people in front of me searching the web, watching movies, or playing games on their computers, or people talking to other peers during the training are just some of the ways I get distracted from the training.

I do not have these distractions when I am in a computer based training. I get a chance to put on headphones which helps me tune into the information that is being given to me.

The second reason is I can attend these trainings in the comfort of my home. I do not have to travel, so it makes attending trainings better on my family, and also cheaper on my company.

I cannot believe the amount of expenses I rack up when I attend non-computer based trainings. I understand the need to attend hands on training, but that is about 15% of the trainings I attend each year. All of the others could be computer based trainings to save on expenses.

Alright I know I have talked about two reasons I like computer based trainings, so I am going to add a bonus reason. I enjoy cooking my own food, so I know how many calories I am eating. Anybody traveling will tell you that this is a difficult task to fulfill. Also most of the trainings are catered so my food choices are limited. Traveling takes me out of my lifestyle, away from my gym, and worst of all away from my family.

I hope you enjoyed my post on why I enjoy computer based trainings more over any others. They truly save money, keep me toned in, and most importantly in the comfort of my lifestyle.

Food Trade Shows

In my faith we are constantly being told by the Elders of our church to prepare ourselves and our families for unseen natural disasters. It is recommended that we have a year supply of food and water for our families. We are also told to keep a year supply of other things needed such as toilet paper, medicine , clothes, shoes, etc.

I like that we are being told to prepare ourselves. I think this will make members of my church self sufficient and not as reliant on Government assistance in the event that something unexpected happens. It could be an earthquake, compromised water and food supply, or something else. Of course we would take any assistance given from the Government if provided but looking at recent natural disasters that have hit the south...sometimes they are way to big for the National Government to handle and need to be handled by the local people if able. I hope that I am not coming across as being ungrateful towards our Government. That is not the case! I think they do the best they are able during Natural disasters relief.

This is something that has been on my mind for the last year. As a provider for my family, I am researching everything I can to better prepare my little family. I attend trade show exhibits and any other survival class I can find on this type of information. I am trying to better understand the type of food storage items that would be best for my family. Any information about this would be helpful for me.

If you are wondering what type of shoes will be in my clothing storage for my family? That is easy! It is going to be pairs of Vibram FiveFingers of course. Those of you who know me, know that these shoes were made for me! They are by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. If I am going to have to go back living like in the 1800's, than I better have a shoe better than the black buckle shoes they wore in the olden days... I need a shoe that I can run and catch rabbits in if we get hungry for some fresh meat... The Five Fingers are just the shoe to help me run as fast as animals! Just placing them on my feet, I believe I can run as fast as a cheetah!

Anyways I hope that by reading this post, this puts a bug in your ear to begin to think about preparing your own family for the unexpected. Remember we are all in this together! Peace!

Why I Love Writing and Blogging!

The Sensitive Guy

Those who know me, know I have a sensitive side. Do not get me wrong... I am still a guy, but I am not skilled in a lot of stereotypical testosterone activities such as building and fixing things. All I can say is thank you to the creators of YouTube and Google! YouTube and Google allow me to trick my peers into thinking I am skilled in these areas. Skilled or not skilled in the area of building and fixing, it still is an area of little interest to me.

The Yearning to Write

What gets my blood moving during the day, or what makes life worth living? There are a list of things. My wife and little girl are at the top of my list! They are the most important people in my life, and everything I am and do are because of them. I even resort to YouTube and Google and all of the Mac help sites available on the web to learn how to fix things around my house to make my relationship function better...

My favorite thing about my wife is how hard she pushes me and how she puts up with things that I am passionate about. You might have guessed sports as an area of passion. I am passionate about sports, but in recent years have learned that I can go without. I have found a new hobby that actually is beneficial to my overall well being. I love to write!

The reason I love to write so much is because it has unlocked my true feelings I have difficulty in reaching through other forms of communication. I never caught the writing bug as a kid, because I was so embarrassed by my handwriting. I am not embarrassed now, thanks to typing :)

Sure speaking is great, but like I mentioned before I am a guy! We are often not the best at using words, especially in communicating with the opposite sex. Writing is different, because it allows me to think before I write. It allows me to feel how I really feel about the subject I am writing about inside of my heart.

Th Ability To Feel

The ability to feel helps me through the early stages of the writing process, and the courage to publish my Final Draft, after my work has underwent a series of Grammar check tests. I only want to produce the best quality of writing I am capable of producing, and will go to extreme measures to meet my expectations.

Thank you for reading my post on writing, and I hope my words will inspire you to love writing as much as I do.

Cafe Rio in Spanish Fork

Alright those of you who know me, know that I have a weakness for food... This is something that has troubled me through-out my whole life. It got worse when I discovered Cafe Rio. Cafe Rio is a place where self-control is left at the door. What you are looking at is an eternal marriage of goodness. I say marriage because I have to get the PORK! salad( with a wheat tortilla on the side, no guacamole, black beans, rice, with the HOUSE DRESSING and of course the shredded lettuce ) and a Diet Coke; they go hand and hand and cannot co-exist without each other. If I order anything else at Cafe Rio, it is a complete let down. I could eat this salad in the morning, for lunch, and dinner everyday!

I have to admit something... I lost my debit card and got a new one in the mail. I had a debit card ceremony and the first thing purchased with my card was my meal at Cafe Rio. I made sure I used cash prior to activating the card. Thank you Cafe Rio for coming to my hood! I look forward to many more debit card swipes at your location.

Still K Day

I remember when I was in high school and Dr. Dre had not released a song for a couple of years, and then he came back with vengeance. His song was titled "Still Dre Day". Well I have officially labeled the title of my post "Still K Day". I am back. The thought of me loosing my blog was just too painful. Through my journey through life, I have found that writing is a way for me to express myself; writing is like therapy to my soul! Well a ton has happened to me. "Life comes at you fast"... Yeah I understand the meaning of that phrase now. What has happened to me since the last time I posted... Well....

I am still married to the love of my life! I don't know how she puts up with me, but she does, and I love her dearly for that!

I have an 20 month old going on 18 years! Lil Lou is the coolest thing that has ever happened to us! She is so much fun!

I have a new job working for a company called Imagine Learning. I love it there!

I still do not have a yard in... but I am close.

The Oprah Show is not longer on T.V... But there is a new show that is called Swamp People that is just as cool. Not as educational, but the coolest show next to the "O" show.

I am still not in shape... Going on 7 years now...But I have hopes of changing this.

I still have not decided on a baseball team, so I have decided to be a baseball fan and that is that. I am only a true fan to the Utah Jazz, and Utah Utes. All other sports teams spend to much money and have classless players... OK maybe not all but I just cannot stand the business side of sports anymore!

Anyways I am still here on earth and that is what matters. I am trying to better myself each day and that is all I can ask for. I love my little family! They are everything to me! I will be using this blog once again for creativity, and to talk about what is going on in the life of Tobias!
