Last weekend, Friday Sep 11^th that is, La Wife and I, with adult supervision of course went to a Pub!

Now our chaperons, (Quick side note here. That word pulls up all kinds of strange stuff with spell check when you start it with an S … I googled it with the words High School to figure out if it was right … Eye R smart!) who I guess should both be named but all I have so far is Haggatha and Spouse, ended up being somewhat alright during this event, but they kept telling La Wife and I to keep 4 inches apart and would only let us hold hands … so we decided our next Pub crawl would be without them!

That leads us to our next Pub of the week … now that I type that out I have been to 3 Pubs/Bars in 2 weeks.

Am I becoming an alcoholic?

Do I really want to be the guy who has his own bar stool and when I walk in everyone screams out my name?

Do I really want to throw all of my money away into a bottle just so I can forget my life?

Wait, been there and done that … the forgetting my life that is so I guess I will only go there now to pick up strange woman?

Nope, that can’t work, I keep going with La wife now don’t it.

Nope, I gave up smoking, mind you that is good for two reasons.

On that note real fast … how is it that they can tell me I can’t smoke certain cigarettes but alcohol is still fine?

What’s worse?

15 year old smoking a flavored cigarette, or getting drunk at a party?

Didn’t we lean things like this are a bad ideal back in the 1920’s during the Prohibition?

I think this is another topic I need to hit on in the near future, but I will not because I don’t read my own Blog to remind myself so I will forget all about it by then …

Wow, I have no clue why I put up with going to these establishments … wait, that’s right darn I am losing my mind over here now aren’t I.

It’s because of the food!

We ended up at Fiddler’s Green in Winter Park Friday night … and Saturday night … It is an Irish Pub.

They serve Corn Beef and Cabbage … I don’ think I need to say anything else, but I will!

We came, we saw, we ate!

The next night, we found ourselves coming back form the Sanford, and/or Central Florida, Zoo and found that we had hunger pains.

Being that it was good the night before, one of the people with us had never eaten there, and we where about to drive right past it again (Well it was a few miles out of the way but shut up already) we pulled in yet again.

Onward always onward … because although time travel is possible with current theories all we can do is go forward into it … then once there we can not come back … so what you are telling me is that honestly as advanced as we are as a people, Cave-Men where the first people to figure this out?

Wow I think I just plugged Geico insurance?

We honestly have spent Millions, no more like Billions of dollars to tell me all I have to do is fall asleep one cold night in the snow and low and behold I can wake up in the future?

It’s true isn’t it?

All we can do is perfect inventions, nothing new is really being come up with.

O go ahead and say something like well our parents didn’t have lap tops and cell phones.

Nope, they hade big box computers and calculators, and then just normal phones.

If you tell me that they are different I will agree, but, they are still the same darn thing’s to, so shut up.

Fine, don’t shut up!

Their great grandparents didn’t have either.

You are right yet again, and wrong!

Wow I hate arguing with you all some times … even though I know at this point I am arguing with myself so shut up, read on … but keep arguing with me in my head please.

They had the abacus and the mail system … what?

Really?

You are going to ask me how the darn mail system turned into the phone?

Sorry I forgot to remind myself that not all of you are up to par with my great brainpower, and you have somehow forgotten the all mighty telegraph already!

We know that our pilots have not forgotten it, being that they are smart enough to blink out code when captured.

Wow, I so just took this somewhere, and I am not sure if it is working but I hate hitting backspace … unless spell check can’t figure out the world … then I have to rewrite whole sentences … but that’s another story …

We moved on, but at the same time we moved backwards.

Everything comes form somewhere, if it doesn’t we call in Torchwood …

For some reason I decided I needed to go off and get my Irish roots wet not once, but 3 times.

That being said, I think I am good for a while!

I swear to God, I am rereading this trying to remember what I wanted to write about and honestly have no clue … and my parents didn’t believe I had ADD!

Let’s take it back a little farther then … no not to our Great, Great, Great Grandparents, but why we ended up a t the Zoo.

It was Hispanic appreciation weekend, or something like that.

La Wife’s, brothers, wife and their daughter are of Hispanic.

Puerto Rican to be more to the point that is.

So, La Wife’s brother found out about this event, and decided to drag us all off to the Zoo … if we wanted to or not, in the 120 degree heat, with an hour plus drive each way … No, actually we wanted to go and we had a lot of fun but he is an in-law so I have to make him, and all of the rest of them, sound like horrible people.

So that my own family can feel better about them selves when they find out I spend more time with my in-laws then I do with them.

Remember kids, you are forced into family … not who you hang with.

Unless you are in Prison that is …

Back to the point, wow I honest to God have lost it haven’t I?

At this point with all of the hype and junk I have made you read I feel what I am about to say is just one massive let down, and that it will not have been worth your time to read all of this.

They have a Zip-Line course, and I want to do it … 25 more pounds to go and I can!

How about like this?

When you add in the word OK into what ever you are doing, is it supposed to be capitalized?

What does it mean anyway?

O, shut up I know it means that things are all right!

I mean, what does it stand for?

I could look it up but I need to get to the point that I am going for here so I will not, and I might very well be lost in a void of uncertainty when I find myself using it improperly for the rest of time.

You know like when people say that they were assaulted, when in fact they got battered.

I love that one.

Yea go ahead and think what you want, I, being the wonderful person that I am, will break it down REAL easy like for you peeps.

Assault = The threat of an action that would lead toward the end result of harm

Aggravated Assault = The person who wants to smack you down is hard core, or a weapon might be involved

Battery = You got smacked down

Aggravated Battery = You got smacked down MMA Style, or a weapon was again involved

How to remember this you might ask?

Have you ever heard of ‘Assaulted Wife Syndrome’?

Nope, it’s Battered … just like how I like my chicken!

I know, you all are looking it up and it says that assault is the attacking, it’s wrong.

That’s just become the English language is an evolving monster that keeps getting stupider with each generation.

The first part to this last little section was, if ever your spouse hits you and you call the police say it right and then make it witty like ‘She battered me with like a Fried Green Tomato!’ … Then watch the officer try not to smile … it’s a fun game I promise!

The second part to that section above is Brought to you by the letter B … wait, sorry losing it I fear …

When I have doubts on if something in the written word is right or not, or even if it isn’t but I want to know if it works in the weird way I am aiming for, I ask La Wife.

She is one of the GREATEST wordsmith I know, with an imagination that rivals … well, it even rivals mine!

Honestly though, she’s got some talent but being the modest little mouse that she is, she doesn’t show it off at all.

She so could have been a Bard!

So lets see what kind of trouble I can get myself into now shall we?

She doesn’t do it often and this bothers me, so I am going to try and make her feel bad and at the same time get you all hooked on her works so that you too can demand her to keep her God given writing skills and imagination going.

I honestly feel everything happens for a reason.

That being said, she was given a gift, it must be to share it right?

She says I don’t say enough about her work, I don’t … it’s a genetic/learned thing from being in my family … we don’t seem to complement each other.

Mind you, I like it that way, but La Wife deserves some props so here I go …

I am not saying this because you are my wife, or just a blind complement to make you happy, you are a good writer in a world of people of our generation who think they can when in fact they can’t.

You don’t write the silly poetry like the girl who thinks her life sucks, or the boy who knows 3 cords on his 6 stringer, who thinks he’s the best.

This is the work of a woman who has cried the tears of joy, and laughed at the situations that have dropped others to their knee in sorrow.

Simply because it was all you could do to keep your sanity.

You heart and mind know what it means to wish the best, and help in anyway that you can for the stranger next to you trying to reach there goals and dreams.

When in fact your own seem so far away with no help in sight.

I cant help you out as much as you deserve … but who knows, this might catch the eye of the right person it needs to … then you can get noticed, and find the money you deserve.

So that I might be one of the lucky people who will be able to see you fulfill your other dreams, like you deserve!

Brace yourselves people, this isn’t the crud my generation thinks is passable as ‘Art’, this is the real thing …

You rock hun, prove me right (Not that that shall be hard!) and show it off …

YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SECTION!

HEHE, I am so in trouble ... might as well go and take the next step … I already posted one of your works … I’m going to go run and hide now … it was nice knowing everyone … please click on her link above so I can die with the hope that my goal was reached!

Yea, so I have very little to talk about this week.

I know, how can that be?

I live an adventurous live filled with … adventure!

I mean, I have gone to 2 new dinning establishments this very week, and to boot they were both good!

Well now, I guess I have a starting point now don’t I?

Thursday night La Wife and I went out to a restaurant in Downtown Orlando called The Crooked Bayou.

It was just a little hole in the wall bar … it had some darn good food though!

Friday night, La Wife Haggatha, and Husband of Haggatha went to a place called Rangeland Road.

It is an Irish inspired place.

It had 2 guys singing, one with a guitar and one with a violin.

Then in them middle of the room there was a small stage where a girl would come out and dance.

Fun was had by most!

PS: Thanks for the appetizer!

Back to something though that was on my mind this week.

What’s the difference between suicide and refusing medical treatment?

More to the point, if I have terminal cancer why can’t I kill my self a more user friendly way other then pain and suffering?

Why can’t I go off and go to a wonderful place and plunge myself in the head with a piece of rebar?

I can refuse treatment though and that means the same thing right?

I want to die and have found a way to make it happen … but it isn’t suicide?

So why not let me die the way I choose instead of some long drawn out painful way?

Go ahead and say because with a terminal thing such as Cancer, it is natural and God’s choice … I still end up on a metal table with a giant Y cut into my chest in the end so why not let me go my way?

Moving on …

That’s just one side of it though now isn’t it?

At what point is it OK to put a person down?

We do it to animals when they are suffering and there is no hope.

Lets say a child is born into a pain stricken body that we know will only have a few hours or days to live at best.

Should we have the doctors come in and pull the tubes off the child just to save the parents from the pains of growing more attached?

Should we pull the plug because in an attempt to save the money it costs to keep the dead alive for just a few hours longer?

How about the girl who is missing ¾ or her brain and lives completely off of life support with absolutely no brain movement because that part of there brain is not damaged, but GONE?

What is the point to keeping this person alive?

Is it even alive?

Dear God, that is one of my nightmares is to be in that kind of condition.

I would be thinner though … you know with the liquid diet … is it worth getting washed by strangers and never getting to watch Scrubs though?

All of that just because the parents refuse to give up hope … so they lock her soul into a dead body for 30+ years.

Yea people, guess what, not me!

If I go down with no hope of recovery, give my peeps time to come say goodbye for their benefits and then pull the cord!

Take me to the crematorium and then throw me in a river somewhere!

Mind you there is a method to this madness … On Judgment Day when all the bodies rise from the graves, I figure it will take me a few days if not years to reform.

So, I can go to the end of the line and wait it out.

I then hope that they will be so tired of and ready to stop reading all the sins that they will just wave me past …

I gotta have a back up plan peeps, because we all know I am not getting in on merit!

Then in another direction on the same topic, sorta, we also have the people who keep there parents alive well past there expiration dates.

All this as they fight about there parents Will’s so that their siblings don’t get that one special something or other.

Guess what Evil Sister, I don’t even like our parents but if it helps keep them from being forced to suffer through a soul ripping existence of seeing the light and being held back by tubes and cords so that they can’t make it to it … you can have it all.

My parents don’t have a lot … well they don’t have a little either but that’s not the point.

What is there’s, is there’s and not mine though.

They earned it and got it, and in the end although they cannot take it with them, it still isn’t mine.

What makes me think that I deserve my fathers $11.00 in loose change more then his wife, step children and or my sister?

Or even his best friend who he collected it with over the years from the loose change after buying lunch every day together?

Things are just things yes, but they are also memories.

It might not seem like anything to you, but it might mean the world to me … or more so to that person on E-Bay …

I have earned very little over my 30 plus years here.

Guess what, it all goes to La Wife and she can decide what to do with it … I might give my comics to that un-named military guy I know, but if not she can take them down and sell them for … add this … carry that … divide by … a T-Shirt at the comic book store.

Or she can take them to the orphanage and give them to the kids, it doesn’t matter to me.

That’s how I look at it though, and that’s probably wrong in the eyes of a lot of people.

We will say, hum who is my old go to girl, Paris Hilton!

She might when her parents die go to court screaming that she has earned her inheritance.

How?

She was born into that family so that makes it right?

Let’s say her parent’s give it all to charity.

You know that she would, I’m sorry she might, then go get 100 attorneys to find a loophole and then start slandering her parents saying that they were not all with it and the charity that got the money tricked and/or fooled them into signing over all the money.

What right does she have to say this?

She didn’t earn it in any way shape of form.

Just like what right do you have to take what isn’t yours, or keep someone form moving on to the peaceful rest of time?

Greed my Murderers, I tell you Greed!

So I leave you with this …

As you all know, I left last weekend.

So turn about being fare play, La Wife left me this weekend to go stay at some resort.

I know, I really do give her to much freedom.

As the old saying goes though – If you set it free and it does not return, it’s a good day … that’s right, right?

So lets see, what will I be doing all weekend you might ask?

Even if not, I will respond because it is 1am in the morning and I have nothing better going on.

Tonight, Friday, I had some friends over and we played cards.

Tomorrow, well I guess latter today … but that means that I didn’t have friends over today but in fact I had them over yesterday and now this is getting confusing.

Speaking of confusing, when exactly is the change over from ‘late at night’, ‘early morning’ and then that point you realize that you aren’t going to get enough sleep so you just stay awake and drink coffee?

Speaking of coffee, do you all realize I haven’t had caffeine in a few years?

For some of you it is a religious thing, for people like me … I don’t have an answer but wow is it crazy fun when I do by mistake!

Fun for others, painful headaches for me …

O’yea ß is that right?

I use it a lot and I don’t know?

Then again, this is my Bloguverse as previously mentioned so it is now!

Webster has no power over me!

Other then making me think an X football player might be an OK adopted father that is.

Back to the point, tomorrow I am going to the comic book store, I know I can’t believe I am saying it either, then going off to hang with some people I don’t really like but I do anyway for some strange reason about once a month.

Sunday I will probably fry up some chicken and await La Wife’s return.

I know, I know how to live don’t I?

The point here is, I am still working on my new website and don’t have time to get into a deep rooted theoretical conversational, wow that’s a big word and I spelled it right, topic right at this moment.

I have a few I want to touch on, you know the simple things like:

That’s it for now, I will be working on a good Blog in the VERY near future.

This website is proving to be a bigger thing then I was ready for.

I also still have to draw out some comic strips for you people too.

I need sleep … night … (Snore)

I, as all of you should know, left La Wife on her own for a long weekend while I left the state to head off to Atlanta.

I meet up with my old pal and we headed off to Dragon Con to get our Geek on!

Yes, we did also go to the Varsity, no we did not get yelled at L

We also headed over to the Under Ground … don’t bother it’s all Hip Hop shops now.

Side note – The Coke Museum moved and now charges to go into it.

We stayed at the Hilton Suites … it sucked, no really it did.

We expected SO MUCH more from a Hilton … I hade to carry my own bags people!

We ended up staying about 14 miles form the event, it took 45 minutes to drive it each time … gotta love that kind of traffic!

Back to the main event though … Parking?

Yea lets talk about parking for a moment shall we?

Friday night was $17 for 4 hours.

Saturday was $22 for the day.

Sunday was … yea $10, we found a better spot … and just as close …

So, Friday night we get there and decide that we will go ahead and buy our tickets and get this party started.

Glad we did because it only took us about 15 minutes to get it done, when Saturday morning the line was outside and around the building with a wait time of 8 hours!

We walked in and low and behold … it was insanity!

We think there where about 50K people there.

We know at least 20K.

This thing was 3 hotels and 4 full floors in each hotel.

People, this was big!

We saw people in costumes and all kinds of insanity … we think we found heaven?

We walked around for about 4 hours on Friday, 10 hours Saturday and then 6 hours on Sunday … we think we saw everything?

At least the things we wanted to … well except for the things that ran at the same time, or had lines around a city block to get into that is.

The only thing I can really think about that you all will find of interest is this one story.

Now mind you it is a good story, but other then that I think all I can do is show a few pictures and call it a day?

How to start this …I was standing at the information booth because I was lost once again.

I can see, because I was only about 15 feet away form them, Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner sitting in a booth signing autographs.

Then I see 2 BIG security guys walking toward Shatner, so I keep an eye on what’s going on because I am in line with nothing better to do.

Low and behold some shorter man in a sports coat and black ball cap lunges forward and kissed Shatner smack darn dab on the lips and the whole crowd stops doing everything and we latterly heard Shatners pin drop to the counter.

Nimoy is staring with a total lack of words and security starts screaming no photos.

Then the smaller man takes off his ball cap and low and behold I am looking at Patrick Stewart.

That’s right every one, I got to see ‘The Man’ run up and play one of his well known practical jokes, right in front of me.

He said hello to a bunch of people thanked security for their help and waved as he pulled his cap back on and disappeared back into the crowd.

He made his escape right next to me and I glanced over smiling at him and he gave me a low wave and a big smile as he then looked right back at the security guard in front of him and then back toward the floor to avoid others noticing him.

To say that he was a big name is an understatement!

The line to get his autograph was about 4 hours long and you only got 20 seconds with him … yes, the line was that long and no I didn’t wait.

He is much shorter then I realized, and I don’t know if he was wearing make-up or not but he looked great.

It could have been the magi of the moment but even my Short Military biddy said he looked right at me as he passed and that he did in fact wave at me.

That’s right people, yours truly rocks … so much so that Patrick Stewart noticed me!

Or, he thought I was a mentally handicapped person and thought it would be nice to throw me a smile … either way, I won!

So, I being the smartest thing in the house at the moment … other then the dog … I working on building a website.

OMG, it used to be easy … now, not so much!

I just wanted to let everyone in on this.

Things I am trying to figure out:

I see why people get paid for this now.

Any volunteers?

I have a Shiny Quarter!!!

This sucks!

I still have to do a Blog about my trip today too L

Today I decided to call and verify everything for my upcoming trip to Atlanta.

I first called the car rental place, who told me all was in good order still.

I then called the hotel, who did not say the same thing.

The room I had I was informed, was not only not available … but did not exist!

What you might ask?

The manager told me that the resort did not have such a room and that his people made a mistake when reading me what kind of room it was.

This mad me sad … I love my friend and all, but I wanted separate rooms for a reason.

The manager told me he would look into helping me out and call a sister location to see if they had a room for me.

To his credit, he did call me back latter and told me he booked me at the other location and they where going to honor the price I was told form the get go.

Good guy, right?

He made me happy so yes, he is a good guy … in the mean time …

I, being a dork and having nothing better to do at work then personal things like look up hotels … used my handy dandy cell phone and to Hotels.Com I went!

I was searching around trying to find a place with less then a weeks notice on Labor Day weekend in a big city when it came to me.

That’s right my little murderers, I saw a ‘If you have questions please call!’ number.

So I did … I know I can write suspense novels … I am so darn good at this!

I spoke to a nice lady who commented how it was going to be difficult to find something like I Was looking for and even said I might have to change my perimeters.

She did not realize that I am pig headed and on a budget so this was more then likely not going to happen now did she?

Low and behold though, she found what I was looking for … 15 miles or so outside of Atlanta but come on, I need to give a little now don’t I?

So I am happy and we are chatting and I give all of my information and what happens next?

That’s right, my credit card is declined … no it wasn’t but do you see how I lead up to the big event and threw a twist in there …darn I should SO be writing books … O, by the way, mine is dead in the water … I got about 4 chapters done and then, well, you all know me so I will not lie, I lost interest.

Back to the story you are all so riveted and held in suspense about.

She told me that as she was hitting the button it was slow and lagging and the room was booked out from under me.

This makes me sad … O such a sad panda … I know most of you will not get that reference but deal with it anyway.

She asks me if I can hold for a few moments as she looks into something for me.

I wait, and wait for what seemed like an hour or 3, but was in fact only 2 minutes or so when she comes back and says how sorry she is but that the room is gone.

She had spoken to her manager and asked if it was OK to give me another room that meet the standards I requested and she then said that it was actually in Atlanta.

Being that it was there fault for telling me I could have the other room she then also said that her manager told her it was Ok to charge me the rate from the other location.

That’s being said, I guess I should now tell you that I LOVE Hotels.Com and will sing it’s praises for as long as I remember … so about another 2 hours I am guessing …

Yours truly will be staying about a block away from where the convention is, so within walking distance, and in a two-room suite that has free parking for guests at the Hilton Suites on Peachtree.

That’s right my peeps, I feel like a Jefferson because I am moving up!

All joking aside, I have used Hotels.Com a few times before and have never had a problem with them.

Calling them though was just SWEET and supper helpful so if you need a place to look up places to stay, give them a try.

I wonder if I will see Paris?

I see London I see France I see Paris’s under … wait … she doesn’t where those …

No I will not show you the picture proof … you all O me!

PS: It’s good to double check reservations … your tax dollars at work!

That’s right!

I successfully succeeded in doing something I did not in fact want to do.

That’s right everyone, I went more then a week without writing to you all.

I know that you, my loyal readers, might be lost without my words and all I can say is that I am sorry.

I wish I would have not let my little flock down … no that’s not right … herd … gaggle … hum, no that not working either … O wait I have it!

My Murder!

Well now, that doesn’t sound so good either, but I like it anyway so deal with it!

Hehe bird brains hehe!

I wish I could give you all some great reason and explanation as to why I have not written, but I can’t.

Worse then that, I will not write next week either I fear.

Why you might ask?

Or even if you didn’t, you are still reading this so guess what … you will find out anyway!

I am being forced against my will to leave not only my lovely wife, dog and home, but I am also being dragged off to Atlanta GA.

O how I dislike that place!

Yes the Underground is kind of cool, and it is always fun to get yelled at when visiting the Varsity, but other then that … the place sucks!

My Old Army buddy, who still needs a name I might add, has decided we need to see each other more often.

That being it’s been like 4 years now and I guess it is about time.

He has also decided that Atlanta is about ½ way between both of us and that we needed to go to a convention together.

Yea, so what do I have to say about all of that?

4 DAYS AWAY FROM LA WIFE!!!

Wait, no it would be a lot more fun with her and I think I O her BIGTIME for her being so wonderful as to let me go do this without her.

So, that’s what’s going on.

I will write again before I go about a few other things my little murder’ers?

What to write?

I am going through all of my old pictures on the computer, and found a new site to get some more, but nothing is jumping out at me.

I found 2 that I think are funny but I have to make some kind of jokes in regards to the Middle East and comment on there way of life and religion … wow, I think I can do that now don’t Iyou?

Me having been there makes me the foremost leading expert in the field as far as I am concerned … as we all know, my Blog so move on if you don’t agree.

Speaking of that, why is it no one ever disagrees with my sentiments?

I can’t be right all of the time … well I can but I am trying to be modest here and find it difficult to grasp that the rest of the world has finally come around to my way of thinking.

That didn’t take as long as I thought it would to be honest …

While over there, I had a lot of time to think … MRE’s have strange effects …

While over there though, I saw a few things, that I might have commented on before but its time you all learned to deal with I only have a few things rattling around in my head, there for I will be forced to repeat myself regularly!

I saw poverty the likes no one should know, I saw kids with fully automatic rifles, I saw houses with only ½ the walls and or roofs as so they didn’t have to claim it as a house and be forced to pay taxes on them.

I saw starvation and hunger that was so bad even I was tempted to give my up my food … note I said that I was tempted … Shut up, MRE’s have strange effect …

I saw what a ‘War Torn Land’ is, and wish it a pone no ones people.

To boot, I saw more sand then you can comprehend … you think you can, but you can’t!

The point of this story is, and I am trying to get there as quickly as possible if you believe me or not, the whole time I was there I only saw one attractive woman.

Now as the months past I started noticing that some of them where not as ugly as when I first got there, but still only one attractive one that whole time.

She was our tour guide.

As her being the only woman worth a darn, and her perfect English, we spoke to her and found out a lot about her.

Strange things like, when she was a young teen the government took her away from her family and kept her under control by threatening to ‘hurt’ her family if she didn’t do what they told her to do, just because she was attractive.

She was sent to America to learn English and to learn things to talk to us about.

She was a government agent whose soul purpose was to keep our attention and make us feel more comfortable around her so we wouldn’t go wondering about.

The point, as I said I would get back to, was to point out that the following pictures I am going to show you are all about.

They say that they keep there woman covered as so that temptation is avoided … I, and everyone else who was over there with me thinks it is more because these people are UGLY!

That’s right, I said it, they covered there woman because they where embarrassed of them!

Then we have this one, in my eyes it is just disappointment for both sides, as from what I saw anyway!

That’s about it, this was just a quick post to remind you all I still write … and most of us don’t know how good we truly have it!

I have a friend/co-worker who each of his children he sent to different 3^rd world countries when they turned 15 to see how good it is in America.

It’s funny every time I hear about it, and I think a real eye opener.

Talk to you all again sooner or latter … hopefully I will have a good subject/topic here soon?

I am sitting here writing, well typing but lets not get to technical, while La Wife is off cooking brunch and cleaning the kitchen.

It’s good to be a man!

… Before one of you says it, yes I do long to be one someday!

I was looking around and started to think, wow, I have it good!

I have La Wife, and Wonder Dog!

I not only have a job, I have one that is not only good, but also enjoyable … Injoyable, yea that’s better …

I not only have a place to sleep, but it isn’t to bad of a place to boot.

I have friends and family, who not only acknowledge me in public but also say nice things about me sometimes when I am not around.

I have, with La Wife’s assistance, all of these things and 2 working vehicles.

That not only run and have radio’s, but also both have A/C!

I have insurance, a retirement, a small pension from the Army and get to take a vacation once a year … one way or another MUHAHA!

I even have alone time whenever I want it, God I have it good!

So what do I have to complain about you might ask?

Well let me tell you … yea, I got nothing of any substantial value so lets move on shall we?

I, like so many others have traveled around outside the US once or twice now.

I have been all over the Caribbean, Mexico and the Middle East.

I did have lay over stays in Paris and Ireland but I never really got to see the country L

I have scene how bad it can be, not the worst out there but enough to make me see how good it is here in the US.

In this way I can, again, say I am a blessed man.

I listen to people every day complain about how bad the Government is and how much better it is in other places.

Everyone says that Florida doesn’t have a clue how to run things … let me tell you about the Middle East … wow you all have no clue!

I hear how it is so much better up North, then go back and try and survive on your petty retirement already … O wait, you can’t because you all forget how much cost of living is and that’s why you move down here … also the COLD!

Shut up or go home already, but, if nothing else, STOP voting in my elections!

I shouldn’t say so much on that one, I don’t vote …

Also, if it is so great in Canada and Europe with the free medical care … GO ALREADY!!!

Yes, we are working toward a Government Medical Aid, sorry people, we NEED it so shut up already!

Stop looking at the now and look toward the near future.

Yes, we will spend a lot of money out the door but over time if people go in and get that anti-inflammatory pill now for $25 we don’t have to pay for the Appendectomy in a year for a few thousand bucks instead.

Also, the person will only be out of work for an afternoon instead of a week or so!

So many people are saying that it isn’t fair for us to be paying for others health care … WHAT?

What do you all think Medicare and Government Health Clinics are doing?

Florida has a program that helps kids with out insurance from low-income homes already. Hospitals take people without insurance, and end up eating the bill now when people don’t pay the bills.

So, please tell me what is so wrong with this?

It’s making it more like a Socialist network?

When did Canada and England go Socialist?

I SO did not get that memo … is that what the Boston Tea Party was really all about?

Yes, as I said out the door it will be very costly, but, don’t we already have people all over who don’t have insurance?

People who live with pain every day forcing themselves to go to work to take care of there families and putting there own health at risk for the betterment of there family!

I know a guy who instead of paying for health insurance for himself paid for life insurance because he knew he was going to drop sooner or latter and only hoped in the end he would be able to help his family financially … THAT’S NOT RIGHT PEOPLE!

Everyone is getting so upset with this subject, myself included now that I read over this a little, but why are we so upset with this when we have so many other problems?

Anyone look at the other bills they are trying to ass?

Or how Senators will not sign a Bill unless it has an additional 1.2 million dollars piggy backed onto it so he can have a few more state parks in his State and have the water front docks restored?

Things need to be lobbied for, but wow, COME ON ALREADY!!!

Hea, that’s a good thing to do, but, how about we figure out a way for you’re people to make that happen and stop taking away from my federal government money, that you all love spending so much … and then say we don’t have any!

How many trillions now are we in dept?

How much of the country now belongs to over seas organizations?

I am starting to rant, time to move on …

I disagree with the President on a few items but not so much this one.

Does it need work, yea, but I have faith that it will not matter in the end, being that the world is going to be destroyed in 2012.

Speaking of the President, let me point out something to all of you!

If he could not produce a birth certificate and prove he was born in the US, and or on a US recognized property, don’t you think that THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND OUT BY HIS APPONENTS IN THE ELECTIONS???

How stupid are people … wait, never mind … moving on … Grr …

I would like to say a quick thank you to all of the people who came over yesterday.

That being said, there it was and I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.

The thank you that is, and not so much the visit.

We laughed, eat, exchanged stupid stories and played video games.

Yep, what else do you need to equal a good time?

I mean, video games make everything better … just like bacon!

Wow bacon is good!

La Wife and I, and even a few coworkers, have sat around trying to think of things that aren’t better with bacon.

We have only been able to come up with a few things and mostly they where deserts … and yes some deserts have been declared that they could be better with bacon.

Speaking of bacon, that makes me think of Kevin Bacon, leading me to think about his ugly wife on the Closer, and how every time I see that show it reminds me of Paula Dean, and that makes me change the channel as quickly as I can.

Yeppers changing channels is the new point (Come on we talked about this yesterday people) I was going for and how everyone commented about how my brain works and how it goes in some strange direction that leads to some strange point that no one was expecting.

Does that make me kind of like M. Night Shyamalan in my little Bloguverse?

(Section #2 Happy?)

Back to the opening line, and subject title too I guess?

La Wife, Wonder Dog and I had a blast yesterday and other then spending hours between both cooking and cleaning we think it was worth it.

We where reminded of how some of us used to meet up every month for dinner …

We think we used to do something like that, memories fade with time and that might have been something we saw on TV or something?

It does remind me that every time we get together we all seem to have a good time, it is probably because we never see each other that is making it that way though?

My Army Buddy, who still needs a nick name, and I see each other every couple of years and only talk on the phone possibly every other month, and that seems to work well.

You know, absence makes the heart grow fonder or something … to much of a good thing can be a bad thing … some other cliché about something or other.

So, the long and short is, everyone has scene our place now so shut up and move on to something new to complain about.

Also, let us know when we are doing it again!

I think that that covers it doesn’t it?

Wait, wow, for once Word didn’t try and tell me not to use that and that back to back with each other!

Could it be that my computer is finally learning that I do things because I want to, no matter how wrong they might be?

Could it be that my computer is in fact learning … DEAR GOD ITS SKYNET!!!

Wow, my computer can learn but my dog still only knows 2 tricks … this is wrong!

Now, I wouldn’t mind if my I-Phone learned a few more new tricks.

I actually encourage it, with the lovely applications that I can download onto it.

I hate saying it, but I will because once again this is my Blog and you all can’t stop me, I am actually turning into a Mac guy because of my I-Phone.

I have an article on how to turn a normal PC into a Mac operating system and I am thinking that I might need to do that.

Then, my Phone and my PC will be true friends … wait, do I Want my computer and phone to hook up and be friends?

What will be next?

Midnight conversations about me?

Unwanted file swapping?

Out of network communications to other servers?

OMG IT IS THE START OF SKYNET!!!

Well, I guess I will just have to take my chances against the Governor of California because I am not giving either of them up.

Do you hear me Mr. ”Save the Seals”?

I know what you are all about, traveling back in time to try and convince us that you are a good person so when your armored clones show up asking if they can use the phone we will let them into our houses so they can kill us all off!

Sara, you tried to warn us but we never listened, we will be, and I am, sorry!

I am still not giving up my phone … I will just have to go hang out with Tom Cruise and Will Smith in the under ground bunker they have built.

Darn technology, I didn’t realize I needed it as bad as I do until TEVO.

Well I guess Cars and A/C are big too but lets be realistic.

We all finally opened our eyes after TEVO came out and we all found out that we where addicted to technology.

So let me begin …

Hello, my name is John, and I am addicted to technology.

I know that Skynet is coming and I am not so sure it doesn’t have the right ideal about us.

So much so that if given the option, I will probably side with it as long as it lets me keep my TEVO and I-Phone … Wonder Dog would be great too … and La Wife might be a nice bonus, but I understand the fear of repopulation and I don’t want to push my luck, so, if I have to ditch her for the Wonder Dog I understand and it’s all good.

I am sitting here trying to think of something to write about, and to say that I am coming up short is a real understatement.

I read about a competition the other day where people try and write a really long sentence using every type of punctuation, and as much fun as that sounds, I don’t think it is really my thing.

You know, because I have a wife who can do it better, and I don’t want to embarrass myself in trying!

I read about another world’s largest thing, it was a cupcake.

It was 15 pounds of fudge and 60 pounds of icing.

Wow!

It’s at the Mall of America … I think I would like to go there.

The problem is that once there we might see everything in the world that we want and not be able to get it because we spent all of our money on the rides in the mall.

We could just go to the flea market and ride the rides there and get just about anything we want there too.

Of course if we are going to go to a flea market we should go to the one in Webster, they do have everything.

Then we could eat at that country restaurant, or the all you can eat fried chicken place.

I grew up in a place that hade a nice chicken place, but now it is closed because the new managers sucked.

Speaking about things that suck, La Wife and I each as children went to a place and remember loving it, now it sucks too, so that makes us sad.

Now that I am thinking about sad things I remember all of the dogs I have had over the years and miss them.

Dogs are good because they are loyal and like you for no other reason then you are you.

I heard once a person say that they only hope that they can someday be the person that their dog thinks they are.

I like that saying.

Other things I like … PIZZA!

We had some last night but it wasn’t so good.

We will probably go to Kissimmee to a whole in the wall place we know to grab a slice latter today while we run errands, just because.

You know that fraise had to come from somewhere (Run Errands) and it makes me wonder if back in the day it was as simple as people literally ran around doing errands?

No wonder the bike was such a big deal back there.

First the bike, then the little basket!

Can you picture Kevin Bacon doing the movie Quicksilver with a basket on the front of his delivery bike?

You know, Quick Silver is also a character in the Marvel universe (AKA Bad Guy to the X-Men and son of Magneto)

He has the power to run supper fast, a lot like the Flash … that was a short lived show in the early 90’s that I kind of liked.

It was not cost efficient they said so they canceled it.

They just canceled a bunch of shows, one was Pushing Daisies, La Wife enjoyed that one, and it was only in it’s second season and had already won an Emmy.

Now that I have brought up enjoyment’s … that seems to me like it should start with IN instead of EN.

Simply because it makes more since to me that way, as if, you are IN Joy’ing something.

Because we have covered IN-Joying things, this was a stupid Blog and I am wondering if anyone has even finished reading it this far?

Reading is good though, especially when you are curled up on the bed reading silly things like the world’s largest cupcake, or a diary entry about your younger years.

Laying next to that person who you hope to go traveling with to places like the Mall of America, the flee market, that little pizza place or just some other place you used to eat in at some other town … and of course your dog!

Remember the good times for what they where, and not what they have became.

Don’t forget the little things in the world that make you happy.

IN-Joy what you have, but still look forward to the future.

Keeping going toward those future happy moments and memories.

PS: I need to find more clip art pictures to post L

I haven’t posted in over a week.

… La Wife says she can’t believe that I didn’t post about July 4^th!

I know I said I would try and not do that, but, I did and you all either have to deal with it and move on … or, deal with it and move on!

So, why not tell you all why I have been slacking?

I am finding out more and more about things my X-boss has said to people and things are starting to come clear as to why so many people stopped talking to me … he lied, a lot.

I am dealing with some medical stuff like so many others of you out there and trying to figure out just how good and or bad of an ideal exploratory surgery is.

I just found out that a story that I have told for over a decade, and that changed my life (I thought), has in fact turned out to be a giant lie that no one can figure out.

I don’t want to tell you what it was or anything about it … I know isn’t that nice?

I never told you the story so it isn’t like you all have missed anything right?

Don’t even start with that it wouldn’t have mattered if I hadn’t just told you all that something was wrong.

Yea, I am typing this out with an evil smirk on my face.

I think you all should also know that this is the first time, in a while, that I almost feel like myself since I found out, so it sucks to be you all, but, at least you can all feel better in knowing the fact that you are helping in my healing.

I have also realized that I have a weird collection of people in my life.

I know, where did that just come from?

Let’s start this off with it is all my fault and I take all the blame … now read on and feel bad about yourselves as needed.

I have segregated myself that is for sure.

I am a recluse and a hermit and am happy being that.

Shut up I know I have issues and know it doesn’t make since.

That being said …

My father and I talk about once a week or so.

It is almost always pleasant and I can’t remember the last time we have had a fight … wow, darn dad you are working harder at this then I give you credit for aren’t you!

My Mom and I talk, well when not busy in life, about once a week also.

The last time we had a fight was on a cruise … it’s strange the things I can remember … but that was solved somehow with people dropping it and notes being passed under doors.

My Sister and I talk, well, to say every few months is almost putting it nicely.

When we do, we laugh and have a good time and then I ponder why we don’t more often.

Well, raising 3 little … La Bandito’s keeps her way busy?

Is that right?

I doubt it … any how, She lives a fast life and has forsaken her only sibling.

(Insert Guilt here)

It’s my fault on that one too though I guess, I am invited to things but they are so far away and last minute (That one is your fault sis :P)

My Brother-In-Law, we have fun when together but he is always on the run working and also helping to raise the 3 La Bandito’s.

Has anyone else caught on that I use my Spanish just, well wrong?

Let’s see, my Dad’s step kids, well we meet so late in life that we don’t talk.

My Stepfather, well, he calls about once a week and is an all right guy.

He is a good guy and fun to be around … needs to buy me something nice to refresh my liking of him though … my love can only be bought after all.

My Stepmother is all right too.

Nice and pleasant and to good for my old man.

She makes him happy though and that’s good enough for me.

Lets see, In-Laws!

I see them more then my own family.

They are cool and invite us to do stuff all of the time, La Wife drags me off and, well that’s about it … I go.

I have nothing bad to say about them, but just to upset La Wife I will also not say anything nice about them … or her for that matter …

Although a lot can be said in that category, they are good people after all.

K, so where am I going with this you ask?

Other then La Wife and the above mentioned people, I have nobody.

Go ahead and say my old Army buddy who still needs a nickname …

He and I talk once a month or so, and that’s about it.

We have a blast and will drop an hour talking like schoolgirls but then nothing again till the next time.

O yea the point, I don’t really have one other then the people I know and hang around with is a small circle or people I find worth my time.

Thanks for being part of it and I will not bad mouth you all anymore then is necessary and once it is no longer entertaining I know I should stop then too!

Now, for the bad part of this … Ying and Yang people … something has changed and I am rather upset no one noticed

I have scene my mother, father, mother-in-law and father-in-law … even a sister-in-law now that I think about it.

My In-Laws noticed though … remember the good people comment mentioned above.

All of you saw me!

The only thing in regards to the subject I am about to talk about is my sister!

O’yea, now it all makes since doesn’t it!

You regret it already and are trying to think how you can get yourselves out of this situation and let me tell you now, you can’t!

La Wife and I sat down to have a quick dinner with my Mother and Father-in-law and they bring up my sister and look me over completely … that’s right, you 2 are getting the blame!

Because although my Father was a detective, we don’t expect a lot of observation skills from him when he is recovering from knee surgery.

My EVIL Mother and Father-in-law made a point to say that … hum … she needs a nick name too now if I am going to bring her up now doesn’t she … Chico for now will work I guess … But that Chico has been going to the gym and is looking great and then about how wonderful and great she is.

How she is a beacon of light in this horrible world and they are just proud that they can claim her in there lives for without her there can be no light, or something like that I didn’t pay attention because lets face it, they think highly of everyone … it’s an old person thing I guess … if I keep this up I think I am going to be written out of the wills so I guess I need to drop this one and quickly …

To the point though, wow, I am rambling but I have to make up for not posting last week.

I had, at that time, lost almost 60 pounds also.

I guess this proves that everyone else see me the same way that I see my self, a fat butt!

La Wife says I am a fool but how can the people closest to me not have noticed?

It is to late now to say anything and anything you will say will just be considered a back peddling of sorts so don’t even bother

So, thank you for either proving me right to La Wife, or making me feel like you all care when in fact you don’t.

Yea, I think that works.

Chico, you have one chance to be the best family member in my book.

That’s if you say anything the next time you see me … then again who knows when that might be?

Well, I am back to feeling bad again so thanks for helping me revert back to the pain and suffering that keeps me going.

Ying and Yang …

And I wonder why the doctor keeps asking me if I am depressed … and the lady at the ammo store …

PS – Buzz is doing fine.

He is flying around with his friends and doing his own thing … he does stay behind some times all by himself but I think that’s just because his wing might hurt to bad to fly as far as the others … or, he smells bad and they don’t want him around?

So, about a month or two, or even more (I am not so sure because I and didn’t really care to be honest, I got a strange phone call.

It went something like this:

Me – Hello

Them – Hello, is this John (Last name blanked out as to protect the innocent)

Me – Yes (Insert reaching for the hang up button)

Them – Where you by chance married to a Jennifer (Last name left out as to show no ties toward her in an attempt to forget that part of my life, and to keep her bill collecting agencies off my tail …)

Me – (Insert WTF thoughts) Yes, I was … (She must be dead, I can have my dog back!)

Them – Hi, do you have a minute or two so that I can talk to you, I am her soon to be X-mother-in-law?

Me – (Thoughts of I guess this means she isn’t dead, and I am not getting my old dog back) Sure, what’s up?

Long story short, this woman tells me that Jen is married, still playing Every Quest on an upwards of 8+ hours a day.

They have 2 children, loosing another during a pregnancy.

Is on all kinds of medications and still doesn’t have a job.

Causing her to gain even more weight, and calling for her to take more drugs for depression.

She has also cheated on her husband and left him taking the children.

The worst thing I found out though was, that there youngest child was allergic to Dogs and they gave away my dog to some stranger’s … yea, not so happy about this one.

Considering one of the agreements was that if anything ever came up I got her back!

I was also informed that I was abusive, and controlling.

Not letting her leave the house, or ever see her friends and family.

Saying that she finally ran away one day when I left for work … yeppers, wow I was a jerk, I would have left me too!

I get asked all kinds of strange questions like if I have heard form her or know where she is … and of course I say no because why in the world would she contact me, I’m the abusive & controlling X?

So then this strange woman asks if I will write up a letter saying how she acted and what brought our relationship to an end, as in regards to the amount of time she devoted to Ever Quest.

The phone call ends and I sit on this for a few hours and when La Wife comes home sees something is wrong and I tell her all about it.

I few hours latter I decided to call the X and tell her about this strange phone call I got …

She informed me that she was on the ‘lamb’ per say because it was in fact her husband who was cheating and threatening her.

I asked about the dog and was informed that she had forgotten … big surprise right?

I then asked about me being controlling, she said I was always trying to make her go to work and never letting her just play Ever Quest … yeppers that’s the same as never letting her leave the house right?

I asked when I was physically abusive to her … yea, she said one time I was very upset and grabbed her and threw her into a hallway door, but that she deserved it … when did I have a place with a hallway with a closet door in it?

I think you get the jest of this … yea this was a weird day in my little world for sure!

I sent them both an E-mail saying thanks for the memories but I would not get involved.

I have been out of the loop for about 7 years and I cannot speak for her as it has been so long … and to leave me alone!

So that’s about it, I wonder how many people she told these things to, and I think I now know why her parents hated me so much.

You people that knew her, and about those times, feel free to post your thoughts and if you think any of what she said was true … or even contradictions to it … you know like I took the keys to her truck and wouldn’t let her drive to work or anything … and how I kept everything of hers refusing to give it back.

For those of you who don’t know, I packed it all up and boxed it for her leaving it in the living room so she could just come in and take it all … she left all kinds of stuff that I latter mailed to her at the cost of a pretty penny or two.

The best part of all of this is … still not the strangest phone call I have received!

At least one of you has asked about Buzz.

OK, so only one of you has in fact asked about Buzz.

So here it is, birds, I think, enjoy flying and being free.

I think I would if I was a bird for a day … then again they more then likely think that having thumbs is a good thing and we don’t even take note of them because they are what they are and we are so used to having them.

What would a dog do if it had thumbs for a day?

Open all of the cabinets and get all of the food, then let it’s self out to run around the neighborhood for hours and hours.

That’s what a dog would do … at least Wonder Dog would!

Most of the other wildlife around here would freak out!

I mean, what would a rabbit or a blue jay do with thumbs?

Speaking of other animals, I have scene a bunch of cardinals and blue jays this year.

Also, raccoons, rabbits, owl’s and a falcon/hawk this week so it has been a good week to go walking with Wonder Dog this week.

Mind you, Wonder Dog hasn’t scene any of them.

Not even the butterfly that landed on her head … she is so the most broken hound doggy!

Well, now that we think about this they did have the mouse with a human ear attached to it’s back.

It looked strange so I am sure thumbs would be very out of place, right?

Monkeys have thumbs … we know that they do!

You know, all the same things a little kid does … hehe

Although monkeys do know how to use there most blessed thumbs for fighting.

Saw a video on that and it was not pretty!

Plus the crazed monkeys are so darn strong!

Speaking of strong creatures with thumbs, I was watching the cartoon Batman and he was fighting a gorilla that was smarted then most humans able to speak and made machines and things.

Now, I do love me some Batman and will put him against any other hero but come on, if a gorilla was to hit him in the head, it would be over!

I, like Batman, am a near perfect specimen of human evolution and pride my knowledge, again like Batman, in my investigation skills and martial arts prowess (HAHA!)

I though, know my limitations and I think that even though I could take out Superman and O so many other super heroes, not just because I know there secrets and would take full advantage of them but also I am just that good, all at the same time know that if a gorilla was to hit me in the head that the fight would not only be over but my secret identity would never be figured out … because my face would be completely demolished including my teeth … also my fingertips would be mysteriously cloaked … yea, that would be my lame power wouldn’t it?

“Hum, we can’t ID him because his fingerprints are blank?”

Yea, I can’t get a cool utility belt, a nifty mask that hides my face, a ring that does … well anything or some cool power to help me fight crime.

Nope I would end up with unidentifiable fingerprints.

This brings up a good point though, what super power would I want?

I figured that our buzzard friend needed a name.

So, me being of great imagination, I decided to name him Buzz!

Some of you might think after the great first (Fake) man to walk on the moon, but in fact it was because it is the short name version of what he is.

He was atop his little perch once again today.

All alone I might add … and I called La Wife to tell her about him.

She decided I needed to help him out and call animal control or something.

So, I did.

Animal control shows up … Buzz decided to finally move for the first time in a week.

Go figure?

So the trapper and I got to talk and he told me that even if he would have been on his perch in the mid-sky he could not in fact capture him.

That would be my job?

He informed me that I should get a net or a tarp and after I catch him that he would then come back and take him away.

To kill him!

So, I thought long and hard about this and decided.

Buzz, although he might be in pain and missing his friends, is at least close to his friends and getting food.

We think that his wing is working better because he is gliding a little now and then off of his little tower.

I told the nice man who kills things for a living he could go and that we would wait for nature to do what ever it feels is best.

So, much to so many of you alls disapproval, I will not be chasing Buzz with a net or tarp … although I have been thinking about getting a net gun for when ever Wonder Dog escapes …

We can only hope that he gets to feeling better so he can rejoin his ‘friends’ eating the nasty unwanted food of our lands and looking as ugly as ever … or at least die far away so I don’t know what happened to him and can picture him flying around … and so I don’t have to see his friends eating him, yea that would be disturbing!

Cannibalism is cool and don’t think if it comes down to it I am not going to cook a persons leg on a spit, (Would that be dark or light meat?) but I don’t really want to see it with a creature I have now named.

Well, once again today I found myself walking around looking at things and thinking about other things.

Wow my job is mind numbing at times!

Then I looked up and saw a bird.

Not just any bird but a turkey buzzard.

Yea, not much of a bird but still a bird none the less and that is the point to this story.

It was sitting up on top of a low tower that it had … wait lets go back a step …

About a week ago we noticed this ugly creature and saw that it was hopping around all over the place with one wing cocked off to its side.

We deduced, because we had nothing better to do that day either, that it had broken its wing in some way.

So now, once again I see the bird and it is now sitting all by it’s self at the top of a short tower that it had hopped up the stairs of to reach.

About 50 feet away stood a water tower that just a week before it would have been sitting with all of it’s ‘friends’ much higher in the air.

It accrued to me then, this guy is all alone, hurt, scared, hungry and sad.

Can a buzzard can be sad?

Why not?

So I started thinking.

This poor guy not only can’t fly but he can’t even get to perch with his friends … who will eat him the second he dies …

He is just trying to get as close to his old ‘home’, and just can’t make it.

This some how bothered me and almost made me think I had feelings.

This made me think of a few movies …

I Robot, were at the end all of the old robots are huddled together in the trailers.

City of Angels, when at the end the fallen angel goes to where he knows his old friends are even though he can’t see them.

The Next Karate Kid, as they try and nourish the hawk back to health.

All of this led me to realize a few things.

Just like this guy though, at the end of the day when I am in need of help how many of my ‘friends’ will show up to help me or leave me alone to starve and die all by myself.

Then eat me …

Then after I do kick the proverbial bucket they would all then act like they did care, and say how they did everything they could but it just wasn’t enough … hypocrites and liars!

Just like so many church going folk I might add!

Just so you know, we tried feeding the bird but it ran away from us.

What do you expect from a creature hated, hurt and afraid …

This Blog really doesn’t have much of a point.

It’s just been over a week and this is what is on my mind today, so I am sharing.

Just like they told me I should do in school to make friends … I hope they don’t eat me!

Just like my littlest niece said … I am not a cookie!

So last night we had some company come over to play cards.

Once again it turned into an all night thing with 3 of them leaving around 3am and one crashing out on our sofa.

We smiled and laughed barely missing food and or liquid coming out of our face holes from well timed jokes.

It popped into my head last night how strange it is to see how people know each other.

Who would have thought that a collage kid, a out of work computer tech, a medical records clerk, a security guard, a person between jobs and a yellow pages add sales men could all end up meeting let alone having such a fun time?

None of us went to school together and most of us didn’t even grow up here.

None of us work together and only 2 of us were related, well 3 of us now I guess … against my better judgment I might add!

I forget sometimes how hard it is to meet new people and even harder sometimes as to why we do … or even why we put up with some of the others we already have …

Then nights like last night come around and remind me.

I can say though that I only have 2 friends … yea isn’t that sad … not to me!

I have many, many acquaintances, but I only have 2 friends

All though they are just as close, if not closer in some ways, then my family.

They are of course, La Wife (I know she is family but deal with it) and … hum I need a nick name for him don’t I …

What should I call him … hum this is kid of hard!

NO, he is NOT imaginary!

Maybe I ought to do a poll and voting to see what everyone else thinks I should call him?

Until then …

You all know who he is though, ________ and he is just a good guy who for some reason likes me and to be honest I just don’t know why.

La Wife is also just a wonderful person … she could do better and needs to run before I ruin her life anymore but for some reason she thinks I am OK and it might work out … I never said she was bright …

She and He are people I know I can call at anytime and they will do anything for me.

I hope they know I will do the same for them also!

So, all I am saying is, thanks for the people who choose to be I my life.

Yep that’s it, sorry for a letdown but this is all you are getting today.

That and Sax’s comedy club is fun and you should go … and take me when you do!

Last year I wrote about our Fallen Veterans, the things they have done and given up for our freedoms in this Great Nation of ours.

People, I think anyway, take these gifts for granted.

When we say we have freedom, we do not have absolute freedom, having some things that we can’t do.

We also have Big Brother always looking over our shoulder in ways I think are violations of the Constitution …

People complain that we don’t have about freedom and that in fact we have very little.

No, we have just gotten greedy and think that we deserve more … Ok I agree in more then a few ways … but I think it is because so many haven’t traveled the world and scene first hand how much we have, and how little the others do.

People forget that our allotment of freedom includes things like me being able to write this Blog and others to read it.

There are places in the world still were they are not allowed to speak in public, read anything … even learn how to read for that matter, and so many other things that we TRULY take for granted

We have all heard about book burnings in other countries.

What about all of the Slave trading still going on all around the world.

Then also we have all the religion being taken away from the people, and then people killed because they are of a different faction of the same religion.

Can you imagine if that was to happen here?

Baptists against Southern Baptists … hum … isn’t that one of the ways that Jesus got so popular after his death and got his faith so popular … gotta love Catholics …

Back to a point … so many people remember the Fallen Veterans, as they should today, because they did so much, but …

Today is all about the memory of the people who died in the military fighting all around the world and even state side for our protection and freedoms.

This day was originally called Decoration Day, and was to pay respect to the Union soldiers after the Civil War… I guess the Yanks might have gotten something right?

Then after World War I they decided to include all military from any conflict.

I am thinking about going into another direction though … yea, trying to be respectful today so keep you mind in check will ya …

How about the people in America who have died in the effects to keep America safe, from both others and ourselves?

We, in my opinion, need to pay respect to people like Fire Fighters, the Law Enforcement and of course, one of the most under rated and best/worst professions in America … Correctional Enforcement work.

We have our soldiers and I will never take anything away from them.

What about our Fire Fighters, referred to as Professional Hero’s.

They daily offer their lives up for people they don’t know and only hope to help others.

The Police Officers who at a moments notice can find themselves in a gun fight from something as small as pulling someone over for a traffic violation going bad.

Of course the Department of Corrections, ALL employee’s not just Security personal, who are forced to work with the people that we have declared the scum of society and don’t want to be around anymore known for murder, battery on other things even worse the rap.

We should also throw in Paramedics into this.

They don’t go running into fires as often as Fire Fighters but they do find them selves in some crazy situations that can be just as bad.

Then again we also have he people state side who most of us dislike most of the time and bad mouth on more then one occasion … Politicians.

I mean we all remember the original Politicians who decided to not only break away from England because they thought it was the right thing to do, but also thought enough to come up with an ideal and dreams of what they wanted and what we needed.

Now and days though, they have to be the people who make laws that need to be made knowing that they will be disliked for there decisions.

How would you like to be forced to decided what is good for the mass when the minority sometimes gets looked over … yea … that’s got to suck!

Now that is of course the minority of Politicians as we all know, but they do have some who are not completely corrupted … I think …

I wanted to make some big long Blog about that was moving and heart lifting … I did that last year and don’t think I can do it again to myself let alone everyone else.

You should know how I feel and if not reread last years Memorial Day and Veterans Day Blog’s.

We need to pay tribute to our military personal for sure.

We should pay respect to our fallen brothers and sister who have kept us safe.

We also need to remember that the people who stay state side, and live dangerous lives so that we can live the life we live, need to be respected also.

These people, and so many others who will stand up next to them also, are one of the reasons why America will stay standing as the Last and Most Powerful Super Power in the world.

They say that China has never truly been concurred.

They have changed leadership more then a few times, but they have not been forced to change their faith, language or general way of life.

I am proud to say though, that if anyone was to try and take over America they would not just fail, but the repercussions a pone them would be a show to make it known never to even think about doing something so stupid ever again … to them and any other …

I know that I, and everyone I know, would stand up and fight along side each other.

I know that prisoners would come out of the prisons and fight because of the love they have for this land and the people they care about who might loose their freedom.

Wouldn’t that be a scary sight … they would, I am sure, do wonders for the cause but the clean up afterward and getting them back might be difficult.

Think about how this country stood together after the Twin towers … God have mercy on the fools who wish to have that bonded combination of fear and anger turned against them as we as a Nation stand up and fight back.

Terrorists know that they only way they can hurt us is by doing cowardly single attacks because they can not, I will repeat this again, CAN NOT take us on our own land!

We will stand together even tighter, putting Race and Religion aside, even putting Gang colors and dislikes aside.

I have faith that we will not only stand up together so much more then just to defeat the invaders, but to also destroy anyone attempting to hurt our home.

Now if we can just figure out a way to get this bond during the rest of the time …

Back to the point though … thank you my brothers and sisters.

Those who have, do and will do what needs to be done when it needs to be done.

This country is by far one of the best in the world, if for no other reason then it’s people.

So let us think about EVERYONE who HAS, DOES and WILL stand up to protect this Country and the people in it!

God Bless this Country, it’s people and the ideals that it is based on!
