Dreams Do Come True

" Dreams do come true " (this one's for you Nu Nu)

This is a true story of a dream come true, and I have dedicated this story to my lovely wife Nu Nu.

The story started back in fall of 2001 back in the state of Minnesota. Nine years ago I had gone through a terrible divorce with a child involved. The divorce was so bad I said to myself like others do, I would never ever get married again.

I lived in a small house two hours north of Minneapolis/ St. Paul in a town called Crosby, population 2000. I had lived up in Crosby for 6 years and worked with my brother off and on. My sister kept bothering telling me, you need to get a girlfriend and I said to her after the last marriage I am very bitter towards women.

At this time I had a dream journal and was studying the pattern of my dreams. I had a very vivid dream about a little Asian girl around 2-3 years of age that was lost and could not find her parents. I held the little girls hand and walked her around trying to find her parents, I said to the little girl don't worry we will find them.

It was about four months later and I ran an ad in the personals newspaper down in the cities. I received a call from a young Asian lady named Nu Nu one month later and she told me she was from Myanmar (Burma) and was working down in the cities. After we had dated for several weeks Nu Nu mentioned to me that she had a daughter back in Myanmar named Yumi and she was 2 ½ years old. I thought to myself this is really weird I had a dream about her daughter being lost not being able to find her parents.

I knew at this time that I was going to be with Nu Nu for a long time, and to not let her go. Nu Nu was brought to me somehow from as far a Myanmar for some reason and I married her three months after we had met.

Nu Nu and I have been married for 6 years and I am crazy about her, and as for her daughter Yumi, I helped bring her mother and father together to be with her.

Here is a picture of us together taken 4-14-2008 in Myanmar.

Down on Corporate America

CORPORATE AMERICA IS KILLING OUR COUNTRY (OPINIONS PLEASE)


I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Holiday, and yes it wasn't long enough.

As everyone knows our economy is not doing very well at this time and two reasons would be because of Oil, and Corporate America. As we continue to fight over in the Middle East our country has a Super Power in the shadows, (CHINA). If you look at all the products being purchased in this country from house-hold goods, clothes, shoes, tools, toys and so much more, 90% comes from CHINA.

CORPORATE AMERICA continues to move factories and businesses over seas because the labor is cheaper. Less companies and factories in America means less jobs, less jobs means more unemployment, more unemployment means a down economy. Not only that, the factories and businesses in CHINA, MEXICO, INDIA, ETC, employ children and workers that work 10-12 hours per day just to eat for the day. It's all about the almighty dollar.

Don't get me wrong,I own several businesses and buy wholesale merchandise from China, the reason? No one else makes the products we sell. Nothing is made in America anymore and if the package has printed on it made in America, once you open it underneath some where else it says made in CHINA.

What can we do to fix this problem? Why can't America products compete with foreign prices? Should America start building Companies and Factories and cut back on importing products from other Counties? What is our solution? Should America start drilling for oil in our own country and employ workers? Should America stop buying all this oil from the Middle East?

The people of America need to get together and find a solution to our problem and address congress.

OWN LAND IN THE FASTEST GROWING CITY IN THE COUNTRY

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

Commercial Land for sale, Industrial, Mud-1, C-G, C-P, Etc.

Commercial Land in Las Vegas continues to hold it's value, prices have dropped some but nothing like the Residential sales and value. The (Dirt) in Las Vegas zoned Commercial is very expensive, but I have seen the value double, triple, etc. since I have lived here seven years now.

I am in the process of purchasing some Commercial land in Las Vegas and sitting on it for 5 years and making some good investment money to retire with.

I have some Land Property Owners in Las Vegas around the Airport, Henderson and Downtown, that are willing to sell. These are unlisted properties (Pocket) listings, so you won't see these properties on Property Line and or Loopnet, or any where else on the Internet.

If you have any clients that may be interested in investing in Las Vegas, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Since I have lived in Las Vegas I have seen Commercial Land prices make Millionaire's out of Investor's.

Thank You,

VACATION IN MYANMAR (BURMA)

Well, I made back from my vacation in Myanmar. And I would have to say, it was a reality check.
Sometimes we forget how lucky we are to have what we have in the United States of America. Poverty is just terrible in Myanmar, all over the country. And after the storm hit in April, it's even worse. People still don't have water or electricity and it has been almost two weeks since the storm. The government does not care if the people die because there is a over population. Different countries send supplies and the government holds them and takes what they wanted first. It is just terrible there, but I keep going back because my wife's family is from there.
The west coast beach was destroyed by waves and bodies were laying all over the fields, rotting from the heat. The capital city of Myanmar (Yangon) which is over 100 miles away was destroyed by the winds. All the trees had been blown over and downed all the power lines. I don't think they will be able to fix the power until maybe next year. And no water, many people use river and lake water by boiling it to kill the germs. There are bodies rotting in the rivers and lakes.
(Enough of the horror stories)
I was in Yangon for (water festival)New Years, which goes on the second week of April. It was so much fun, I will be going next year for sure.
When the storm hit I was in the middle of the Country, Bagan and Mandalay. There are temples over 1100 years old and just amazing to look at. Bagan has approx. 7,000 temples. Being a photographer, I shot over 1,000 still photos and around 4 hours of video.
Also my wife Nu Nu was reunited with her daughter that she has not seen in 5-6 years.
If for any reason you think that things are not going good or you don't like were you live. Take a trip to Myanmar, after 2-3 weeks over there you will be begging to come back and appreciate what you have here in America.
Here are just a few shots that I took on my trip. If you would like to see more, just send me a email and I can email you more.
Thank you for reading and "GOD BLESS AMERICA"
