With the events of the past few days down in LA, AL and MS, my heartfelt condolences go out to anybody that has lost a loved one or a house or a pet or just anything that meant something to them.
Makes me definitely appreciate what I have.
Makes me hug my wife and 2 1/2 year old son a little tighter at night.
I was telling the wife the other night, "Fuck that hurricane stuff. I'll take an earthquake any day of the week."
There's so much going on in the world right now. When I first thought about doing this blog thing, my goal was to take current events, comment on them, if people liked what i wrote, cool. If they didn't like what I wrote and thought i was a fuckin' idiot, cool.
But something hit me the other day.
There is too much going on.
I could write pages and pages of stuff that I saw on the news or read in the paper.
and quite frankly i don't have that kind of time and even if i did why the hell would you have enough time to read all of it!? go outside. get some fresh air.
so screw the whole current event angle.
i will comment on certain things i find interesting. this will be like my therapy. i'll vent when i need to. crack jokes when i need to. write flat out stupid stuff when i need to.
next time i will give people who care a little background on myself.
so until that time, everybody be safe

ps...seriously...tell the people that are important in your life that you care about them and they mean something to you...
I'm off to hang out with my son........

my first time.......eek

well here goes.
might as well do this blog thing.
it's what all the cool kids are doing nowadays..
speaking of caving into peer pressure
sitting here listening to some songs from my high school era...90-94
stop it....i'm not that old...
just listened to some digable planets...rebirth of slick
wow
didn't really get them back then...oh well
arrested development - everyday people- just finished
brought back memories of my youth
how fuckin stupid i was just a mere 15 or so years ago
how i made fun of people who were different
i wasn't the most popular kid in school but i like to think that i was "cool" with everybody
the jocks, the nerds, the gangsters and everybody in between
i just blended in, said what's up to everybody and went on my way...
i should have stood out, i should have stood up for people
hindsight is 20/20
let me adjust my glasses.....
