Why

So I chose to focus on Glenn Beck because I love his style.
Glenn Beck while he tries not to ever label himself a republican or conservative, he does battle for the side more often then not.
Actually hes not even battle for the right side. Hes battling for the better good of the country.
He truly believes in what the founding fathers stood for and what this country means.
And because I love this country so much it is very easy to see where he is coming from.

And when he does his programs, hes not just bringing the talking points that everyone else is using. Health care (while he has talked about it) isnt what hes talking about now or even the past 3 weeks.
He talks about things going on around the world what America needs to do to stay above water in relation to these other countries.

And he doesn't spout the talking points because he disagrees.
He does his research and he does it well.
He has unearthed so much information that never would be available to the public because its seen as too bad to report on.

Yes hes theatrical but you can tell the he believes in everything he says from the bottom of his heart.
Its very refreshing to have someone believe in something that much when it comes to things going on in this country.

trouble of blogging part 2

So now that my reasons for not keeping up with a blog are open for everyone to see. I'll continue on my main blog topic.
Now I have been following him the best that I can when ever I have free time.

He has an am radio program from 9-12 Monday through Friday.
Also Monday through Friday he has a television show on fox news at 5pm.
Then a recap of the week Saturday nights at 9pm
Then if you aren't able to view the television show, the same program is aired on sirius radio station 146 (I think) at 8pm.

So because of my work I'm not really able to watch his programs.
I have however recorded his shows for about the past 3 weeks. And when I finally get a full day off (Spring break is looking really good to me even though I'll have to work, there will be one full day I won't have to do anything!) I'll be able to watch all the episodes and really get cracking.

Now his radio programs are a little better for me to at least listen to.
Tuesdays and Thursdays I get on the road at 7am to make it to my 11 am class in Norfolk.
Right around the time I get to 64 E. his program is starting. So I can get at least an hour there.
Then at night since I'm leaving campus at 7pm I'm guaranteed another hour there.
The only trouble with either of these time periods is that I'm driving and can't really write my thoughts down to get them on the blog.

So it would really be easier for me when I get my full day off to just kinda start from scratch.
Because if I go back through my memory now I'll be combining multiple programs into one.. and they won't fit because I'll only know parts of what was being talked about.
So have to come back next week.

My Blog

So I've sorta been slacking on keeping up with my blog.
While I've never been one to really air whats going on in my life on any cyber source (facebook, blogs, etc) and I'm sure that my lack of desire to really keep a blog doesnt help, the main reason is because I have just been so busy.
Other then knowing that I have to work, go to classes and drive to school I never know what else is going on in my life.
My work schedule is so inconsistent (something that is very irritating especially since I am one of the most senior members at the hotel.) I can't even nail down a date and time for a dr. appointment. Infact I've had to reschedule 3 different sets of visits 6 times each over the last 3 months. One would think that if I spend most of my time at work then I could just keep up with this blog while I'm there. Wrong! Can't access the website while I'm on Westin property.
So there is at least 40 hours through out the week that I can't keep up with a blog.
Another 12 hours is spent during a week (only to and from school... not counting time spent to and from work) driving back and forth to norfolk for classes. Classes are are another 12 hours.
So I'm up to 64 hours gone right there. The rest of the time during a week is split up among misc. events like homework, taking care of animal appointments, chauffering my mother, etc etc.
I don't even have time to even socialize and relax .

Very frustrating.
