Went Private. I have some re tooling to do around here. Be patient, I’ll open to the public soon. I just have an issue with privacy, I respect it too much. So now that it’s more public, I want to clean it up and fine tune some details. In the meantime, subscribe by sending me an email. If you’re interesting I follow back

RT @paulvharris “But who prays for Satan? Who in eighteen centuries has prayed for the one sinner that needed it most?” Mark Twain

@UtahProgressive “Capitalism tries for a delicate balance; It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other peoples stuff.” ~ George Carlin

@UtahProgressive I love when white people complain about BET. Saying “we don’t have a WET”. I tell them that they do, it’s just spread across a 100 + stations

RT @BFarp @JimDeMint Do you really think snow means no global warming? Or are you being dumb on purpose to please corporate sponsors?

Gotta love the dual tuner DVR. We’re watching the Winter Olympics and NBA All Star Night festivities at the same time… How the hell did we ever live life before DVR?!

Do you guys ever have moments where the thoughts are flowing from your fingers and down on to a keyboard? Judging by the amount of time I spend blogging, You all know how often that occurs with me
Tonight after a long day I have some thoughts I’d like to share with you. Some of you know, many of you do not, but I have a father dying from Liver cancer. I don’t like to share this publicly, mostly, because I get the same obligatory messages from old ‘friends’ pretending to care and be there for me.. I don’t want your sympathy, I Just want your ears for a second.
Life is too fucking short to spend dwelling on hurt feelings.. get up off your ass, forgive and forget and move on. Not for them, but for YOURSELF. My father never liked taking pills of any sort, now he’s taking at least 12. He has one for every single problem, depression, swelling, pain etc etc.. all Designed to prolong the inevitable and drive up the bill for when he passes. I am 26 years old, and my children will never meet their grandfather (they are not born yet). How do I feel about this? I do not know. Really, I have no idea, I’m in shock. It all happened so quickly. All I know is, I never had a close relationship with my dad and now all I can do is beat myself up for it..I know it isn’t my fault but when you have a tragic/sudden death sentence put upon your father, its gonna bring out some shit.. Guilt, is the only thing my father is leaving me. Sure I inherited some shit…but its exactly that..SHIT.
I am dying inside from guilt..For something I had no control over…My parents divorce. Now Im sitting here drinking myself to sleep and holding back the tears.

Watching the Jazz Game while I surf the web..and in between coats of paint on the new house’s hallway. Putting Crystal Door Knobs on all the doors in the hallway too, class it up. I only want to spend about 2 years here but who know’s how long we’ll stay. The trick is to fix it up as thrifty as possible and make huge $ in return. So we are keeping the update modest, while still putting little touches on the things that sell a house. We have all brand new matching appliances, washer and dryer..we are pretty happy and comfortable. I am also enjoying this neighborhood more and more.Rose Park truly doesnt fit it’s stereotype. Its a charming little place, the winding streets and big tree’s make for a family friendly neighborhood. And SLC needs more affordable housing. So people…look out west of the freeway, you wont regret it. We have a 1900 square foot brick home here.. We only spent 149,880 too. Our neighbors are young yuppies like us but with children. We are investing in it’s future. I believe more and more people will choose to live closer to work in the next century. A new Urbanism…At least, I hope..

From Delta to Glendale…WTF?

This fool, shot an unsuspecting cop during a routine traffic stop in Millard County Utah. He is only 5’7 and a buck thirty (130lbs). If you see him, you can probably take him one on one. It’s like fighting your little sister. So he knew he had to avoid any confrontation with this female officer and just decided to shoot her point-blank. Now, I’m not an over zealous cop lover…Hardly. But this is just cowardly. He deserves a cruel death. This Liberal is a HUGE fan of a properly used death sentence. In this instance and any incident regarding sexual/violent abuse of children. I’m sorry friends, but there’s some shit done on this Earth that just doesn’t warrant any sympathy. Evil, TRULY exists on this earth, and although I’m not religious, I know it exists. You all do.

Some of my Twit pics that have received a lot of attention recently.

utahprogressive — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:39:19 +0000

Both of these were received in emails I received from friends or family. I post them on twitpic, because that is the easiest way to share them on twitter. So don’t be mistaken these are not personally taken by ME. Some are, but these two in particular are not. As always, you can enjoy these on your own time at my TwitPic Profile. http://twitpic.com/photos/UtahProgressive

This one is way too funny, I have a cousin in Houston who is always finding these great images on the web. She sends them my way when she knows they’ll be a hit with me and mine.

This one has the same story. Some of you may know..I hate christmas
