I'm Proud Of Our Troops

Well, it's been a little over a week since the start of the war. I don't care what your stance is on the war, whether we should be there or not, the fact of the matter is that we are there so let's deal with the situation as it is.

We have troops fighting in Iraq. They are fighting against an enemy that does not fight conventionally and definitely doesn't follow the rules of combat.

Yet, we are still seeing images from Iraq of our troops mending and caring for injured Iraqi soldiers. Even going so far as to carry them on their backs to safety.

While the Iraqi troops are faking surrender and ambushing our men and women in uniform, our military personell are fighting the good fight and extending themselves to care for the same people who've injured and deceived them.

It is a sight to see. And how amazing is it that we are getting to see it on T.V. Live from the front lines.

What an interesting time we are living in.

Ok, so like I told everyone, I bought a new vehicle.

And like I told many of you, I wanted a big truck.

Ok, so like I told many of you, I bought a big truck.

A BIG TRUCK

I bought an 87 Ford F250 XLT, with a big ol' V8 engine, a supercab, a long bed, camper shell, tow package and running boards. The thing is a beast, and it gets a beast's gas mileage too. Did I mention it also has the optional second fuel tank?

So there you have it, I bought a great big, burly American Made Truck. Probably not the best decision based on current gas prices, but what the hell. I've always wanted a big truck. And if I end up not liking it? I'll just get something different down the road.

Wow. Digital-Workshop is coming to the conclusion of week one. We've processed three orders so far and have our fourth and fifth orders in the works. I'd say things are going pretty well. Keep those fingers crossed.

So I'm punching the keys for this Blog entry on my brand spankin' new Apple Powerbook G4 12". This is one incredible machine. It's only 10.1" wide and includes built in Bluetooth and Airport Extreme (802.11g WiFi), a 4x DVD Burner and Firewire to boot! This is one powerful little machine and I'm really looking forward to pushing it to it's limits.

Looks like I will be getting a new (most likely used, so what I like to call "Newsed") car this weekend. I'll be sure to let everyone know what I got on Monday.

Have a good weekend everyone!

NERVES

So Digital-Workshop is now up and running, we've delivered a couple of orders already and are preparing for more this coming week.

I'm scared.

The reality of the weight that comes with truly running your own business, of having monthly bills to pay, payroll to meet... well, it's starting to frighten me.

Now, I'm sure I'll be fine and that the company will survive the difficulties of start-up, but I can't help feeling just a little bit nervous.
