I'm sure that the answer to my dilemma is probably pretty obvious. See, every tax season, when I get my refund, I usually get a lot of money back. This is the only time thru out the year I get to buy myself a "want" or 2. Spending most of the year paying bills and hardly having enough for some entertainment here and there, I figure it's kinda nice to be able to treat myself to something I couldn't normally get thru out the rest of the year. Usually I find myself sporting what was the latest the ...

It’s ironic that the people of this nation chose to vote in a man that promised to fix our economy claiming the Republicans basically messed everything up yet President Obama has done a fantastic job at picking some very amazing people for his Administration who, so far, 3 have had money issues. First we had Hillary Clinton and her husbands charity problems which was giving them problems to confirm her. Then there was the Secretary of Treasury, the man who would be in charge of the IRS...

As a minority Hispanic, in a way I am happy our country has shown it can look past the color of a man’s skin and elect him for President, while a woman did not win, we also proved a woman can also stand side by side with the boys and fight to lead our country. Now that we have our first Black President I have wondered if this will somehow bring down some of the racial walls that still exist in this country. But I also can’t help but think it’s a shame we needed to vote in a Minority in this coun...

2009, a year where the Republicans became the minority in the Gov't and lost most of their power to keep balance in the Gov't, the GOP in Congress have shown still have a backbone and will not back down and bow down to he who believe's because he won that somehow his will shall be done. Bush was criticized by many for approving the $700 billion stimulus package that was said to go against what the majority of Americans wanted. To this day the bill has done very little of what was said it woul...

Need some help in deciding what external drive I should get. I currently have a 500 GB SATA drive in an external USB case and a 250 GB Western Digital passport. I have lots of music, pictures and video files and am looking to put them all in a central storage location where I can access all of them thru my network but still keep it portable. Here are some of the options I am looking at, I'm just not sure which to chose. Seagate Freeagent - Enough space, great price but read it has a po...

It looks to me like those from the Republican Party that survived the November elections were probably better off losing seeing as their opinions and votes are almost as useless as a knife in a gun fight. According to the Media, Obama warned the Republicans on capital Hill to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh if they want to get things done. If by “getting things done” he means getting what they want, then those Republicans he was warning can only be 1 of 2 things to be able to actually listen to ...

So I came across IslandDogs article PC Magazine's Best Free Software of '09 where he talks about how Stardock's ObjectDock was the second best freeware. Congrats Stardock, Objectdock (free version) is the best program I have installed on my PC at this moment, look forward to the Plus version as soon as I am able to afford it. I decided to check out the PC Magazine article to see what other cool, and free, software was listed. I came across this program called Zoundry Raven v1.0.375, a blog edi...

Now that a Democrat is President and Congress and the Senate of under their control as well, will our favorite Bush basher, the Ol' Colonel, make a comeback? And what about a Republican version of him? Can we have an Obama basher on JU in the same manner? I volunteer to throw some bashing every once in a while but I could never live up to our favorite former resident troll.

Now that Obama is now President Obama and was singing the National Anthem at the end of his Inauguration, do all these people, who we once heard about claiming would never sing or recognize the National Anthem because it speaks of a time when slavery still existed in the US, still won't recognize or sing the National Anthem? I just can't help but wonder how will this and other kinds of racist situations will be affected now that we have had our first Black man as President of the US. I feel t...

So the day has come, Barack H. Obama is now President Obama. Let's be honest here and admit this was not the day many were looking forward to. Not because Obama is black, not because he has a Muslim father, not because he;s from Chicago. It's because he is a Democrat, the most Liberal Democrat to memore precise. But, Republicans have only themselves to blame for this. Now that he is our President, the time has come to accept the peoples choice for it is part of our culture, our laws, our coun...

Dear President Barack H. Obama: On this your first day as President of the United States of America, I just wanted to say thank you for taking upon the task of leading this country. Like so many before you, achieving the position of the leader of the Free World is no easy task; handling the job will not be any easier. While I did not vote for you and do not agree with your policies, as a citizen of this country, I will accept you as my President and will give you the respect you deserve a...

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 {behavior:url(#ieooui) } -->  Dear President George W. Bush, On this your last day as President of the United States of America, I just wanted to say thank you for your service for the past 8 years. While many in this country, and abroad, did not like you (considering your approval ratings) you were our President none the less an...

This was one of the first things I imagined some people in New York were thinking when they saw a U.S. Airways airliner crashing into the Hudson River today (Thursday). Everyone survived the crash that is believed was cause by bird smashing into 2 of the planes engines while taking off from la Guardia Airport. I can only imagine the people inside the plane who thought "this is the end" since surviving an airplane crash is not exactly a common thing on the news. I am glad everyone survived but...

So, what would you do to earn a degree from college? According to Foxnews.com , 22 year old Natalie Dylan from San Diego thought auctioning off her virginity was a sure fire way to make enough money to pay for college and earn a degree. And according to the article, she was right. Talk about a high priced hooker, this woman was offered $3.7 million dollars for her virginity. Now, I'm all for having a good time with a woman virgin or not, and spending some money on her is no big deal if you c...

Sorry if I missed any articles on this but am I the only one who can only see only some of the categories in the forums? I cant find the blogging, religion or even personal relationships (and several others). They are not even in order as they were before on the side bar. I have tried cleaning the cache, refreshing and to no avail. I can't always access some articles from the main page and can not find them when looking for them in the forums since I cant find the categories. Thank you.
