Looking Forward To This Weekend!! Vacation Time!
So, the entire family is going to Cleveland tomorrow! Friendship Raceway is closed this weekend because of the Jefferson County Fair, so Dad put this vacation together for us!!
THANKS DADDY! YOU TOO MUMMA! :)
Our original plan was to drive up Friday afternoon, check into our hotel, and hangout for that first day. And then off to Geauga Lake's Wild Water Kingdom Saturday and Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on Sunday. But, when Dad found out it was supposed to rain on Sunday, he changed the schedule up a bit. Now, we plan on leaving tomorrow morning at 8:00am and driving straight to the Zoo. Saturday we will go to the water park and Sunday will be our chill day!!
Anyhow.... I haven't been on more than a day excursion for over 3 years, so, I am totally psyched!!

Laural Hollow Park, Newell, West Virginia
Tasha drives passed this little park on a daily basis on her way to work and has expressed her interest to me several times. The park's entrance is all you can see from the street, because the entire place is engulfed in trees!
We decided to explore!
Paths wind into one another and lead into the opening of the park, which is set up to be amphitheater. It's actually an old Polar Bear Den re-purposed as the stage, and is surrounded by benches that I believe to have been donated.
It's a really neat little park. From what I understand, they hold concerts and other community events here. You can view more info on the website : http://www.laurelhollowpark.net/

I only want to help.
My entire life, I have been that girl. The girl that worries. The girl that cares. The girl that always has to get involved and voice her opinion. The counselor, the confidant, the go-to.
I have some innate instinct to play mother hen to any person I come across whom may seem unhappy, upset, or in need of a friend. I have even found myself hugging complete strangers at the pharmacy counter because I noticed them crying or distraught.
For the most part, I can say that being an empathetic person has given me the highest level of fulfillment and the attainment of incomparable bonds and relationships.
On the other hand, being critically involved in the lives of others is pretty tricky business.
People don't always want to hear the truth. Sometimes people don't want a solution. They don't want to be understood. They want to be pitied and comforted. That's the kind friend I have trouble being.
When something is wrong, I can't just let it be. I must take action. Something must be done to fix the problem. So, when I see a person I care about acting in a behavior that is neither beneficial to them or their causes, I have to bring it to their attention. That is what a friend does. When your messing up. Your friend plays that mirror for you and lets you know that your messing up.
So.... sometimes you don't want to hear what I think, or what I have to say. Understandable. But know this... I cared enough to have an opinion. If my words sometimes seem harsh, let me apologize now. I really only want to help.

U.S. Government Borrowing
Good Afternoon! I am still on this kick of trying to grasp all this money mumbo-jumbo... I'm thinking I should have taken an Economics course somewhere along the line, but I never have. (Perhaps that will be my next feat).
Anyhow. Yesterday, I spent much of the afternoon reading about fractional reserve banking practices used around the world. I read that banks have gained control of the land and resources of some of the poorest countries in the world. Today, I am trying to learn about our own countries debts.
It's common knowledge that our government has a deficit. But, we keep on spending, so, where is all that money coming from?
According to this infographic created by the National Priorities Project, our federal government plans on borrowing 15% of the money (approximately $561 trillion) that it is projected to spend in the year 2015.
When the federal government needs to borrow money-as it will for 2015- it does so in two main ways. It will either borrow the money from other federal trust funds that have run a surplus (establishing what is known as federal debt), or, it will borrow from the people (establishing what is referred to as debts held by the public).
When the federal government borrows money from the people, the Treasury will issue bonds and other securities, and, the people who purchase these bonds are, in actuality, investing in our government.
Anyone can buy the bonds, but as you will notice in the pie graph entitled Who Does the U.S. Government Owe Money To?, international investors make up a whopping 47% of the federal debt held by the public.
It reminds me of the several times I have heard people say, "China will own us one day"? I mistakenly thought this referred to our imports of China's products. I mean, almost everything you see has a 'Made in China' stamp on it. Today, I am realizing that the meaning of that statements runs much deeper....
Out of all of our international investors, we owe the biggest chunks to China ($1.3 trillion) and Japan ($1.2 trillion).
Another interesting fact that I read can be reflected back onto yesterday's article, Are Banks Taking Over?, where I ponder Julian Websdale's theories of banks and banking families taking over the world. The second largest debt held by the public, is made up of domestic investors like American citizens, as well as, institutions like private banks. The pie graph doesn't give enough detail to determine exactly how much of that debt is owed to private banks.... but I suppose any percentage of the $11.9 trillion dollar debt can obviously be considered significant.
Our governments borrowing practices have become a pretty controversial issue. Some feel borrowing money will only help dig ourselves deeper-and-deeper into the hole of debt, while others believe that borrowing will help stimulate our economy, which would, in turn, help us to climb out of that hole of debt.
I don't believe I have acquired enough information to make that judgment for myself, but at least now I understand how our government borrows money and who it borrows money from.
