Daddy, I have a secret...
So, my son scared the junk right-outa-me the other day.
It was early,
real early.
I was getting ready to go to work, 4:30 am or so.
My son was getting up to go potty.
He came over to me as I was putting on my boots.
Messy hair,
race car 'jammies,
blankie on shoulder and fingers in mouth,
the absolute picture of boyhood.
He looks at me and says, " Dad, I don't think I want to be a little boy anymore."
WHAT!?
My mind started to go into convulsions, 900 miles an hour!
"What do I say?"
"I don't have time for this conversation!"
"What do I tell him!"
"Have I failed as a father?"
"Have I been abusive?"
"Should I become Abusive?"
"Why isn't my wife awake!?"
"WHY GOD!!!"
So, I took a deep breath, and calmly asked him, "Oh, ok, so what do you want to be?"
I screwed my eyes shut, and prepared for the worst.
It felt like a million years before he finaly said,"I think, ..um..I want to be a Grizzly Bear"
"Oh, a grizzly huh? That's cool, alright then! "
"Okay Dad! I'm going to bed now. Have a good day at work!"
"Yeah, right, 'Love you, big man.Uh err, grizzly."
"daaaaad!"
Crisis over. I'm okay. Now to work...
Ha! my Bride is cooler than yours!
Okay, so let me splain'. My wife is 7 months pregnant. She thought it would be fun to go camping this weekend! How cool is that?!
You know cold ground, no toilet, lousy food, the works! Now, you can always get me into the woods, but my wife, pregnant! Oh, I tell you, after 10 years, this girl still wows me. So, I was just thinking about how easy my wife is to live with, and how incredibly rare girls like this are.
You must understand how nutty I can be sometimes, well, it's just crazy. This girl just keeps dealing with it and never tries to change my pyschotic brain.
I tend to come off a bit rude, blunt and careless sometimes, not to mention very absent-minded. Also, I have not mastered the art of tact. My wife just rolls with it though and near as I can tell, she still realy, likes me!
Monday I am going to get a new apprentice, a girl....Uh-oh. I have a feeling she won't be as nearly tolerant of my rude and direct manner as my bride. This could be real bad. Well, I'll have an update later.
Saturday I am going to fast. Yup, thats right holmes, fast. I have never done this before and am a little worried. I eat alot of food. No, you don't understand, I EAT ALOT of food. At work I am known as the human garbage disposal. So, fasting for a day scares me. Maybe I'll just go up into the woods were I can be alone and pray,(and not bite anyones head of!)
Well, that's what my week looks like. Check out the new "Fun Link" and do stop by the Dragon. Also, Please check out my radio show!
Pics Homie!
I took some more photos Sunday.
Here they is...
Yet again, I've disgraced The Family Name
Recorded another show last night.
PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!!!
Lotta' changes,
New equipment,
New guests,
New name,
New, New, New.
All these changes did create some chaos in the studio though.
Well check it out, but I warn you, it got a little crazy and out of hand.
Hurray! one less EPA superfund site!
So, I did it!
No longer will my backyard smell of garbage. No longer will I walk through my backyard trying to avoid eye-contact with my dumpster! Free at last! Free at last! Hot wasabi, I'm free at last!!!!!
Okay, let me start at the begining. About three years ago, I had some awful tennants. They would throw loose garbage in my "dumpster". My dumpster is just a large wooden box that I keep my trash bags in until I go to the dump. They left about two feet of loose garbage at the bottom. I have been actively avoiding a clean-up. You see, no-one can see the trash, and it makes getting the bags out easier. Lame I know, but it's all I got. Of course this just made my problem worse, it started to smell this summer, well you can imagine the horror. So with the help of my awesome brother-in-law, I tackled this monster yesterday.
Now, please don't get the wrong idea. I do not keep my house or my yard in this kind of condition. Thanks in large part to my wife, I have actualy a very nice home. No one knew about my little box of horrors. Naturaly , this got me wondering , what other little horrors do we hide? I won't bore you by overworking this analogy, but it does get you thinking....
What else... Oh yeah,
Books, I am currently reading two books right now, Black Rood by Stephen Lawhead, and Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. I will give you review later.
Yes! There is hope for him doctor...
The greatest thing happened today, I failed!
Yes, I failed!
You see, I tend to take my job a little too serious.
When a day at work does not go well, it ruins my day.
I guess I'm kind of like a spolied kid.
When I make goals for the day, I reach them.
When I don't.....not pretty,
Lots of yelling,
heads rolling,
self-loathing,
bad, bad, bad.
But....Today was different!
Today everything I touched, turned brown and died,
but that's okay.
I never lost my cool,
It did not ruin my good mood,
Time did not end,
The world is still here,
and most of all...I am at peace!!!!
Thank you lord!
(my wife and kids thak you too!)
Duh......
Wow, I don't know what to say. Just check this out and send me your thoughts....
odd blog
I guess even evil people get old
So, a funny thing happened at the doctors last week. I had to take one of my sons to the doctor on Thursday. While he was seeing the doc, I thought I'd go for a walk around the hospital. I came upon the cutest scene: two little old ladies, walking hand in hand. They were perfect! Little hats, hand bags, knitting needles, whte gloves, etc. I thought to myself, "How sweet! This is just sooo cute and cozy! These are the kind of women I want in my family." As I got close, I could tell they were laughing at some private joke. I caught a brief snippet of their conversation. It went something like this: "AH HA HA! Yeah, the @#!% Negroes did it!!!"
Uhhhhh.... oh well,
I guess even evil people get old...
More of my stupid Photos...
So, Here's some more photos from the other night. I have two possible working titles for this montage'.
1. looking at an ugly spider under a full moon
or
2. MY BIG FAT HEAD IS OUT OF FOCUS!!!!
I am currently taking votes. :)
Behold My Moon!
Online Magazine!?!?What an Ididot I am. So let me start at the begining. Last night I went out to take some pictures of the moon. Well, after getting a few good shots I decided to ask people if I could take their pictures. In my strange, mental, deranged way, the only thing I coud think to say was.."Hi, my name is Matt. I'm a photographer for an online magazine. Could I take your picture?".
Photographer?!, Online magazine!? What is wrong with me?!! Well, I did get some cool shots though. And I must say all the people I asked were very nice. (they probably thought I was real photographer.) As embarrasing as this is, It did get me thinking. Why not do a magazine? I don't how that's any different than a blog but from now on, I will call this my (use big anouncer voice here) "Magazine". I mean while I'm putting on airs, why not call it a magazine? I'll post more of these photos later..in my magazine.
Let me tell ya'
I got a lot to say but it's all so random, I don't think I could make it into a coherent entry. So I think the best approach is to make a couple of lists.
Let's start with things that have happened and things I've done latley....
1. I shaved! Yes, gone is the bizzare handle-bar mustache. (along with the "are you gay?" questions.)
2. I washed my car! trust me, this is a big event. It's dirty now though...
3.My wife threw a surprise party for me. To celebrate electrical license. ( I was supposed to get it two years ago)
4.My brother-in-law blew up the engine in his car.
5.The town tore up my road again. They actualy never pave it, they just tear it up every couple of months.
6. My wife painted the dinning room.
Okay, Here's some random questions that have been on my mind lately...
1. What do fish think about?
2.What makes an athiest get up and go to work everyday?
3.How do you get people to read your blog?
4.What does
my fish think about?
5.Could we use the oceans as giant batteries?
6.Can a beta fish kill people?
7.What is the next great invetion?
8.How would the public react if we were to harvest stem cells from monkey embryos?
9.Does my fish think about killing me?
Well, that's what's kicking around in my head.
Hey here's new fun
link...
These Guys are just plain nuts!
Hey, Look, sorry I'ts taken me so long to post, Lots to do lately, camping, work, find new tennants, blah, blah, blah. Anyways lets talk about cititzens. Lets talk about Cuban, Lebanesse, and American citizens. There has been a lot of talk and debate and midless yammering about the failure of government figures during hurricane Katrina. Who failed? the President, the mayor, FEMA, Who? Well, I propose this, I think the citizens of New Orleans failed. Their behavior was reprehensible. Looting, murder, executing senior citizens, shooting at military choppers. Disgusting. After 9/11 did New Yorkers panic? Did they crowd into Yankee Stadium and wait for the government to save them? Did they engage in mass looting and murder? Not bloody likely!! No, they had a civic duty to help, and help they did. They knew they had to reclaim their community.
Now, Lebanon. Again lots'a talk, lots'a blame, lots'a debate, blah, blah, blah! All I have to say is this. If you don't want bombs dropped in your town, don't harbor terrorists. Israel is taking alot of heat for their actions right now, bombing towns and villages, killing civilians etc, what would you do? No, really, how would you respond to an enemy that hides among civilians and is to cowardly to wear a uniform? How should we feel about people who allow terrorists to thrive in their communities? If Lebanon wants real peace, freedom from foriegn invasion, and respect they need to run these reprobates and warmongers out of their country and hang them from a high tree!
Now Cuba. News came out last night that Fidel Castro is very ill. When the news broke in Miami, thousands of Cubans took to the streets and celebrated. They had to shut down many streets. Nearly 500 thousand Cuban live in Miami alone, just waiting for the government to change hands before they go home. One simple question for you. Don't you think half-a-million cubans could affect a great change in Cuba if they all went home, instead of hidding from the problem?
Well that's enough polotics for today... There is a new "Fun Link Of The Week" up.
