Gentlemen, When was the last time You bought Yourself fresh underwear? I'm not afraid to admit it, but I didn't usually buy my own underwear and it's not like I can't, it's just that for every Birthday and Christmas at least I can guarantee that my Mother will get me a bunch of Saks Fifth Avenue brand tank-tops and boxer-briefs (Yes, I'm a Boxer-Brief guy, Boxers 2nd favorite...never Briefs). She gets great employee discounts! Thanks Saks and Thank you Mother of mine for that wonderfully fresh and confident feeling you always made sure I had. Te AMO Mammi.
I live on the West coast of the United States so I buy my own tank tops and boxer-briefs now and this thought came up...Why not make sure that this year for Mother's Day at least my Mother has all the Wonderfully Fresh, Confident feelings I can buy. I'll need my Wife-To-Be's help. Anyway, it's minimal, I owe this woman my Life and Upbringing and almost all that encompasses me today, but today is another Mother's Day. Mother Nature! Well, I gotta go enjoy me some. I can hear the kids having fun outside without me. Ya voy!

The Neverending Thirst For Knowledge
I have always thirsted for knowledge and understanding. I have sourced through my Grandparents, Family, school, friends, my love of reading, the Encyclopedia's my Mom bought for us (for $1000's) and then watching National Geographic, The History, The Discovery Channel and GOOGLE. After college I thought of the next chapter of my life as the time when I get to choose my own teachings. It's the way I learned to love reading. Farenheit 451 was the first book to open up my literary imagination, but after that I said well let's read some subjects we are interested in or that I would like to learn more about. (I say "we" because even though I am ONE singular person I do have urges that feel like they come from different parts of me. Like the quieter more reserved side of me vs the much more outspoken, energetic self). Then came Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, Plato's Republic by Plato, Science of Breath by Yogi Ramacharaka, The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown and The Dominican Republic a National History by Frank Moya Pons among many more. It's funny, but the more that I learn in detail about say programming, investing in the financial markets or horticulture the more I KNOW that I DON'T know. That's wild, well It feels crazy sometimes because of all the directions my mind wants to go in. There are so many questions and so many more possible answers and it makes life worth every moment. Time becomes more and more precious. Becoming a Father definitely added value to my time as well, but then again because of technology like that of the Internet and GOOGLE we can do SO MUCH MORE today than what we could back say 20 years ago so time has truly gained value. Man if I could invest in THAT stock I know it'll go up...a lot like GOLD. If we really think about it, it's like everything else in Life. You have a balance. Much more information can be looked through and garnered, but the quality as to say the sources and knowledge of those sources will be lacking. That's an area of opportunity for anyone able to fight for the cause let me know and we can work on establishing a standard across the Internet sort of like a seal of authenticity for tracing and finding sources and references used to make claims in reports etc. Make reporters responsible for listing these in their online writings. I've seen many sites where certain words within the writings can be clicked on. It seems pretty simple from an implementation aspect, but the difficulty lies in finding an authentic look and feel as well as getting folks to actually utilize the format where their sources can be clicked on and followed to be read through for accuracy. I often feel like I can do anything on my own though and I get excited just thinking about building this, reading that and accomplishing different goals and projects. My current self teachings are in horticulture, programming and planning my wedding with my beautiful Wife-to-be Annaliza Cruz Francisco. She has her own blog named, "Nature's Wife" (Natureswife.blogspot.com). Nice name! Check it out!

Why Don't We Eliminate Car Accidents?
I thought of this idea a few years ago that would use magnetic fields or more specifically wrapping the frames of vehicles with opposing magnetic fields. This way when two cars, trains, cell phones etc come dangerously close together these opposing magnetic fields would keep these cars from crashing, trains from colliding or people texting in the streets from running into other folks dumbfounded by their own smartphones.
On the other-hand though there is the Auto-Body Industry as well as parts, paint shops, insurance agents etc that would stand to lose out unless they adapt...Hmm. I guess it all comes down to who has the most at stake business-wise and capital to invest in it moving forward as well as probably the most political pull because this would have to be an industry led effort.
