In case you don't look at the details of this blog, my name is Jason. I am a full time student at Florida State Community College. I will graduate in May 2012 with a degree in Business Management. My aspirations for my education is to receive a Masters degree in Business from the University of Florida (lots of dollars).
I am currently employed part time (I refuse to mention the company name out of protection of myself and the company). When I am at work, I concentrate all of my efforts to completing a set of goals for the day while also being tasked with other important, but secondary, tasks. I have a lot to offer to my employer. Lately, I have taken on some scrutiny for posting miscellaneous things on Facebook, while neither mentioning the company name nor individuals' names. During our conversation, I got to know a little bit more about my employer on a personal level which helped me to understand their perspective. I promised my employer that I would not post anything else about the work place on Facebook and I would continue my high level of quality work for them. As much as that personally satisfied me, their is a looming cloud over those that weren't "man" enough to approach me. So, I have now vowed to myself to longer carry on anything other than a professional relationship with those people, plus one other. This will prevent any further problems from happening. To my employer, I respect you. I am glad I work for you. I hope none of this puts any type of burden on our acquaintance, professional or otherwise. Thank you for your advice, by the way. I will make sure I use it when deemed appropriate. Let me say this now, If I offended, hurt, violated, or injured anyone in the this paragraph, YOU ARE READING MY OPINION/FACTOID BLOG. Let me quote myself. "I don't worry about my reputation as much as I worry about my integrity. Without one the other means nothing." (Baldwin Facebook post, 2011) I had to let that out.
I was a sailor for nine years. If you want to know where I have been, just ask. My favorite port would have to have been Panama. I loved the area, even though it was kind of dirty. I loved the mountain tour. I also like the Karaoke Bar "Foxys". Awesome times. I would go back in a heartbeat.
My political affiliation is Libertarian but I truly claim no party but those that truly want to be free of our government trying to make us buy into the something more then what was promised to us in the Constitution, "Life, Liberty, and the PURSUIT (not the provision) of happiness". I understand what makes the infrastructure work, but our founding fathers still worked their regular jobs as well as being delegates. They weren't paid a salary from the constituents pockets. They made their own money. There was no tax on every service and good known to man like there is today. The had excise taxes and a tax on goods bought and sold. Look at where we are today. Our freedoms are being taken from us. The second amendment is being taken from us while we are "clinging to our guns and religion" (Obama, 2007). All the while our government is thinking up ways to tax us on the air we breathe, practically. There is plenty of blame to passed on to either party, R or D. But blame games get us nowhere. We need action to get us out this mess. I guess what I am saying is that, if I were president, I would make every spending cut necessary to create a surplus for that year to make a dent in our debt. I would do so every year until we could afford to spend on entitlements again. I wouldn't bargain with anyone for my budget because I don't believe in bargaining for a seat at the table that is headed by me. I don't believe in bargaining for what is right for the American people. Our liberty is at stake if we don't clear our balance with other countries soon. Iraq and France would be sent a nice bill for the wars we fought for them to liberate them from their oppressors. Mexico would be sent a nice bill for all the jobs they steal from our workers every year. Canada, Arab nations, and anywhere else we import our oil from would no longer be allowed to export oil to us until oil prices drop to the 1996 prices, which was around $1.50. Until then they can trade a bail of wheat for two barrels of oil. Our northern and southern borders would be shut down. The virtual fence would be actual in just a few months with the help of free labor from the prisons, especially those here illegally. My fence would be 20 feet deep, with multi-tiered layers going twenty feet high, lined with all the razor wire and electric charged line I could lay hands on. The only way in is with a valid US passport. If you want out, get out. Jobs would open up quickly and we could get Americans back to work again. Social security, for those that paid into it, would be paid in full in three payments. Americans on social security retirement benefits after the day the law was signed would be the last ever. Americans would be advised to invest on their own. Social Security checks would be turned into offset checks for those that owe taxes or support of any kind. After that, the social security administration would be no longer open. Fair Tax would be the new tax system. The IRS would no longer look into your life. They would look into the accounts of politicians to make sure they are not doing any unethical practices with YOUR money.
I don't know how this post is going effect my employment, if at all. I just want everyone to understand a little about me. If you don't like what you read, then that's okay with me. I am a nice guy. If you have something to say to me or about me, please come to me. Be big enough to bring it to my attention. Otherwise I lose respect for you. My integrity is solid. I used to be pretty bad at keeping promises and it took some pretty drastic events to make me realize how bad I really was about it. Now, I do whatever I can to do the right thing, especially when nobody is watching.
Thank you for reading my blog. If you are my fraternity brother, I'm sorry I became "dead weight" and I am doing everything I can to be the brother I promised you all I would be. If you are a co-worker/manager-ish type at my job well if you didn't know, now you know. If you are family member, then none of this is a surprise to you.
