Well. there has been a ruling on the financial disclosure of LAPD officers working gang and narcotic units and it looks like the original ruling of implementing the order will stand. This is utterly ridiculous and will do nothing but force many seasoned and experienced officers out of those units. What are the city leaders thinking?!? How does this help root out corruption?!? If I were to engage in police corruption (i.e. stealing money) the last place I will put the money is in a traceable bank account..What a bunch of retards running the city of LA. I feel so sorry for LA residents because they are the ones getting the shaft. It's not like there is a pay increase for working these special assignments so why would any SANE officer subject themselves to such blatant invasions of privacy? Oh well, Villaragosa-Salinas or whatever your name is these days, Chief Bratton and all of the leaders who supported this shenanigan, the city thanks you for weakening the already depleted police force.... I will sleep well at night because my local police don't succumb to outside political pressure....

Well, it seems that we are at a bit of a critical time now with new leadership making the transition and the economy on the verge of utter collapse. The only saving grace is the security of my employment during these times. We just have to tighten the belts and leave it in God's hands. As for me, new assignment which brings me much joy (narcotics enforcement) plus the fact that I can dress like a scumbag and not shave. The kids are doing well and we are all looking forward to more performances on youtube. Until then ....5000

Another long work week in the books and tomorrow, It's beach time, baby!! Finance and accounting is kicking my arse and I am seriously considering a change in concentration, IT or marketing perhaps...Oh well, whatever God has planned, I shall follow. DA's office is now officially up in my Kool-Aid checking things out and making sure that I'm good to go for the job. Hopefully all goes well and I get a hire date sometime soon (God-willing). Anyways, I will get some pics up here ASAP....Until then, AUDI!

Well, it's been about a year and a bunch has happened (and not happened) - I'm officially a motor school dropout and it looks like my career is back in stagnant mode. Hopefully something comes up soon or I may have to start branching out, if you know what I mean. Life otherwise is pretty good and family is doing well. That's it for now...short but sweet - more to come.....

Wow, it's been over a year and life has not stopped (thank God!) Megan and Mitchell are doing great and it seems as though things may be turning in a positive direction for me at work. Looks like motor school in 5 months and hopefully I do well on the Detective exam. School has been moving along, although I had to take a small hiatus to prepare for the Detective test. SPU has also been very very good to me. I'm finally doing what I came to this job to do - put bad guys in prison. Anyways - hope it is not too long until my next update....Payce!

I know, it's been awhile since I even gace this blog some thought. There has been a lot that has happened since the past post. Dad has gone to a much better place and life just hasn't been the same without him. On the other hand, there has also been some good, no, great news - We are expecting a daughter in June and there is no doubt in my mind that God is bestowing His greatest blessing upon us. My wife and son are excited and we are fully prepared to welcome her into the world with open arms. Class sucks - I don't know what i've goten myself into with this MBA thing - I/m just hoping that there will be a very bright light at the end of this tunnel. Until next time, "Peace out"!

Well, day 2. Oh, I forgot to mention that I, along with being a husband, father and full time COP, I'm also an MBA student at Pepperdine University (go Waves!). And no, I am not too old to be back in school. I have to make some upward moves. Anyway, I gave my first presentation on Tuesday night in class on Ethics and Motivation. Man, i cannot believe how difficult it was to give that presentation to a room of 10. Nervousness and lack of confidence immediately took over my presentation. Am i cut out for this? Well, I had better be since giving presentations will be the backbone of my ascent up the corporate ladder.
