Pretty Mom Is In the Building!
November 29, 2007, 8:37 am
My Mother flew in last night and after some much needed Ravi Kebab and a stroll down memory lane we turned in and are up early ready for all the adventures a road trip, and MMA fight, and a tattoo shop can offer.
When I took this photo I thought about the old man from Grumpy old man who was 95 and said “Son, I lay more pipe than Wabasha Plumbing”. I loved that guy and this picture instantly made me think of that quote.

"They wait for me"
November 28, 2007, 8:29 am
I was walking back to my house after grabbing a cup of joe, and saw this gentleman feeding the birds. When he saw me taking his picture he said:
“I come out here everyday, they wait for me”
“I am sure they do!” to that he responded:
“they like the bread, but when I have cookies from Harris Teeter 100’s of them show up.”
Sometimes you can take a great picture that means very little and other times you can take a shitty picture that means captures a moment which means a lot.
This moment reminded me that the Universe is abundant and if God takes care of the birds, he’ll take care of you too.
There’s an old saying I really like: “When you’re going through Hell, KEEP GOING!”

Real Men, Take their Coffee Black and their bath with Salts
November 27, 2007, 9:25 am
I was thinking this morning about all the crazy things the men in my life told me about how “men” act. Times change, so this morning I thought I would share some of what I was told about how men act and other comical things – maybe you can drop a comment bomb from your family.
My Grandfather (35 years in the Military, 4 tours in Vietnam)
1. Getting more than 4 hours sleep will drive a man crazy
2. Michael, if you play with your pecker you’ll go blind
3. Real Men tuck in their shirt tails
4. Any Lady you meet is a ma’am, and any man is a sir (he still does this to this day, calling everyone from the lady at Starbucks to the heroin addict at the VA hospital who asked him to watch her trash bag while “she took a cigarette.”)
5. Leaders eat last
My Father:
1. We always say “well it is what it is”
2. Whenever I call him and ask what he’s doing he’s always “Steadily fighting poverty” while he’s on his way to his Lake Havasu house.
3. Real men drink their coffee black. (He now uses cream and sugar)
Some of my favorite pearls of wisdom:
1. I like to say as come back: “Eat a dick bitch”, for some reason my friends love that and once hear it use it often. Please do not use this on your significant other. It’s for the Mat, playing field or bar only.
2. Stolen from T.R. : “If someone asks you if you can do a job, give an astounding YES, then go about and figure out how to get it down.” (not word for word but damn close)
My Grandfather says that I gave him a quote which he has used since I told him many years ago- and that was “no man is greater than his prayer life”.
Whether you look up, bend down, face east, use a rosary, speak in tongues, run down the aisles, sing in the choir or like me watch Joel Olsteen on channel 5 every Sunday I think we should all try and practice:
Faith, Hope and Love.
I believe we can never go wrong being kind to people.

Life's a Beautiful Struggle! Keep ya Head Up.
November 26, 2007, 9:20 am
If you got out of bed this morning and things weren’t hurtin’ too bad- you could see, hear and had something in the cupboard to put in your belly take a second to thank the man above.
It’s easy to forget the little things that make life so beautiful.
My Grandpa has a saying written on paper, framed in his garage (it’s probably 20 years older than I am) it reads “For those who have fought for it; life has a flavor the protected will never kn0w.”
Now get your asses out there and fight for something, or someone today-
P.S. Santa I know I was very naughty this year but I am hoping those I was naughty with will let you know that sometimes ‘O so naughty, can be O’ so nice”

The Week(s)end
November 25, 2007, 9:49 am
Well this first week of blogging has been quite an experience, it’s been filled with Peaks and Valleys-
I hope for those who partake in my musings they have found it entertaining, informative and have at least had a laugh or two.

I joined www.blackplanet.com last night…apparently Kanye knows “how the girls on blackplanet be when they get bubbley”
You know everyone is every race on myspace and facebook. I figure on Black Planet I will be a hot commodity.

No, I didn't eat Turkey
November 23, 2007, 9:06 am
Although I did eat terribly and laid around the majority of the day; if you mix in speaking with friends and family with a good hour of shooting it makes for a wonderful day no matter what the calendar says.
