Bad Economy, Great for First Time Home Buyers. 2.99% !
2.99% Home Loan, Are They Crazy? I'm working with a first time home buyer, who just locked
a rate of 2.99 fixed for 30 years! The home he found is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, all remodeled, 1500 sf brick ranch style
for $107,000.
These prices and rates are unbelievable. 2.99% (APR3.8) Who do You know that is ready to stop paying rent? Call me if you have any questions. (520)
631-TONY (8669)
Rate is not for refinances, first time home buyers only. Maybe the economy not
so bad, eh? Tony Ray

I Left My Heart.......
I hope this new year has found you in good health and even better spirits. I decided to start off this with the things
I truly love to do. On January 1st, at 6am, I decided to do some photography at Reddington Pass. The location, weather and
lighting was just right! Plus, it was exactly what I needed.
 2011 was, for me, kinda a blah year. Nothing good nor bad…but nothing that really defined it for me. So this year, I'm not counting
on new year's resolutions or good intentions to make this year awesome. I will make it happen. I don't plan on counting on
a workout buddy or positive affirmations to get me through this year, I'm just going to do it. Plain and simple!
More art and more focus on health, thats all I want out of this year. As
for graduation, well my school screwed me on that one and I'm now set back a whole damn year. Don't even get me started on
that one, I'll save that rant for another blog.I definitely
want to start getting my name out in Tucson and maybe start getting some commissioned work, even some freelance stuff. But
we shall see. I know that I am already working on some stuff for a exhibition in late spring. I would like to showcase it
at my school and the airport. If things comes to work in my favor than I shall be most happy. Until…I'm working for
what I want. And I always get what I want (cue for maniacal laugh).  I also wanted to escape the desert for a bit so I decide to visit a very
close friend that i have known for almost 20yrs now. And luckily for me, he lives in San Francisco!! I love that city! I've
have visited for several short visits in the past year. But this time, I was actually able to visit the Castro!
I marked a major milestone in my life by visiting this iconic place. The history, culture, tradition and continuing fight
for equality are still prevalent there. The people…my people…were friendly, happy and proud! And I must say
EVERYONE had a dog, cat or a animal of some kind on a leash. I was surprised to see the everyday zoo on the streets. You don't
see that in T-town…and I was glad for it.
The parks w ere amazing, the daylight hrs were filled with that intimate laughter that
only the best of friends can share. Memories came back to be retold and new ones were made. Old names of people I haven't
seen or heard of in eons came up and I heard what some of them are up too these days.The nightlife of San Francisco…was everything you could imagine it to be. I feel so blessed to have done and
experienced so much with my dearest friend. I've read about certain places in books, or heard of them in other people's experiences.
Now I have my own tales. I will definitely be making more trips to this lovely place of no parking zones. But I will say..I
can see why people leave their hearts in San Francisco.

The War is over and the Gays are out!
This has been a big year for the American military. 2011 brought to us the end of the Iraq War  and the end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Whether the war was actually
worth it or not has yet to be determined but one thing is for certain, the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was
a major victory for the Gay and Lesbian community.
Our brothers and sisters can now be recognized and proud to
serve in the military. No more will they have to hide in shame for fear of losing their careers. No more will they have to
cower in silence and creep in the shadows with the ones they love. It was high time that the very people willing to lay their
lives on the line for freedom were accepted for who they are, not who they bed.The military has suffered many blunders and mistakes these past 10 years. The eradication of such an unjust law doesn’t
make up for them by any means, but it sure does get them going in the right direction. It’s astounding that it took
so long!
I can’t help but wonder what will be next for the tried and true men and women in uniform…
Will they grant adoptions for same sex couples in the military? Will they recognize woman more for their valiant efforts as
soldiers? Will they recognize woman more for their valiant efforts as soldiers? I have a small glimmer of hope that the U.S.
military won’t be such an unforgiving patriarchal society anymore. And maybe, just maybe, those who may be a little
different from the beaten path will feel more welcome to join and serve this country. I have a younger brother who is in the Army. After serving two years in Iraq,
he has now settled down with his wife in Colorado and they are thinking about starting a family. Justin never, in his naivety,
recognized the difference of the person next to him in combat. He has never cared whether or not they took a man home with
them at night. All he knew was that these were his brothers who were willing to die to protect him.
So when DODT
was brought up again on such a massive scale, he didn’t understand what the big deal was. He was so nonchalant about
the whole situation that he didn’t even realize how important it was to have the freedom to be who you were. Once he
realized the bigger picture, he gained a lot more respect for those who had to hide who they were. Because those who had to
hide who they were inside wouldn’t hide when it came to laying themselves on the line so another brother and soldier
might live to see another day. It was that simple.To all
the soldiers hugging their spouses and children for the first holiday in a long time, I salute you.
Welcome home.
