This past monday I found an App on my Ipod touch. I’ve never looked at apps since I thought it was going to be a bunch games and other things I don’t want to get hooked on. This app is actually good for me. Its a daily calorie counter and exercise as well. I logged in a few things and had no idea how many calories something really is. I know its nothing new but this a whole new concept to me because ive never done it before. The app makes it easy to track everything I eat and all my work outs. So this Year for my birthday I decided to get myself healthier.

First off let me say that every month on the 17th I record what Brendan does that day. One day we went to the car wash, and another we just watched movies. I also recorded him on the fourth of July. So I decided that every year on his birthday would be a grand finale of the year. And that would have to be the best video of the year.  His Birthday! Once a year the girlfriend and I take a trip to California to visit the happiest place on earth. We decided to go for Brendan’s birthday. How fun right? Well it turns out some people think its ridiculous to take a one year old….. They will never remember!!! First of all, we go once a year. Second he doesn’t have to remember, its the idea of vacation with family that important. And thirdly, I don’t remember the day I went through puberty! Heck I don’t even remember my 21st birthday……. When he’s older and watches every video I make for him he will not only know I love him, but he will also know he has a family that cares enough to have fun with him. Little or not. I had some rude comments and some people trying to tell me what to do with my kid. All I have to say is, I cant wait to sit on the beach with my son on his Birthday. That is something we will never forget…

Everyday I think of what I could be. Of what I could have been if. . .  I’ve derailed and Slowly to not even started picking up the pieces. To be honest I don’t even know what happened. It seems I’ve lost control and gave up. I have been trying to start over and start fresh. But I keep letting things get in my way. Its sad to say, being a dad, that I must learn to crawl all over again. I need to chisel every aspect of myself from the inside out. Nobody is perfect but perfection is exactly what I aim for.

Some people tend to roll up on the drive threw and order a number one. With fry’s and drink. Most people know exactly what they are going to order before they even get there. I’m not gonna name names or anything like that but this person.. Who happens to be a female. And drives a blue car. That wears glasses. Decided to give the poor ordering guy at Wendy’s a hard time. First off it was is this new? And how small is it from the large. I have never had the large so I don’t know what you are talking about. And what comes with it. Are the blue berries real berries? Or is it just a sauce. The guy had no idea what was going on so finally all he could say was. “Im sorry we don’t sell rice here. . .” I guess curiosity killed the drive threw window guys night… O and if you didn’t catch that.. Wendy’s doesn’t sell Rice…

There is a legend about an immortal in the hills. The kingdom he comes from showers him with gold and luxuries that the king himself does not even have. This kingdom is the most feared for one reason. The immortal, the executioner. He was like the tip of Zeus’s bolt, or the hammer of Thor. Was he the god of war? Or the angel of death? No one knows. He destroyed everyone and everything in the kings way. Wars were won with the sharpness of his blades and the brute force of his fists. He is summoned on this dark and rainy day just like any other. Executioner! Your king requests your presence.. And just like every other time, he obeyed his king. Coming out of the darkness he raises his blades and looks to a man kneeling. The guards hold him down. Please! Don’t do this, I have a family! But the executioner is warrior and the pleading man’s voice escapes him. His kings words are all that he hears. With one short thrust he is finished and the man is no longer of this life but is in the next. He goes back to his throne and waits for his next orders. A storm makes haste towards the kingdom in the hills. Lightning strikes close enough to feel the walls rumble. The clouds cast a grey shadow over the hills. Executioner! Your king requests your presence.. Another victim to his blades will soon be. Out of the shadows the executioner comes holding his head held high and gripping his blades of death. Only this time he hesitates. There is a beautiful woman with her knees in the mud. She is drenched from the rain. Passion comes pouring out of her light brown eyes, Unlike the guilty men that have tasted his cold blades before. A tear falls down his face lost with the rain and going unnoticed. What is her crime?! He yells out to one of the knights. She will give birth to a monster! It has been foreseen.. He looks back to the woman. He picks her up and breaks free from the castle and makes his way towards the ocean. She is startled as well as frightened. What are you doing? She asks him. Your free, go and never look back. They cant be far behind us. Just before she speaks she looks behind him. And there, in formation, the king and his army. The king knows the executioner can inflict the worst damage to them all. But with his rage he comes to hunt them down. Preparing for battle he grips his blades and holds his stance. The woman grabs his arm and embraces him. She lays her head on his chest giving him a warmth he has never had. Giving him a sense of love that years of pain and violence could never amount to. He realizes…. Her crime was never giving birth to a monster, her crime, was setting one free. What is your name? The beautiful woman asks, as arrows and daggers fill the sky and rain down on them both.

I wrote this for my dad.

People mistake kindness for weakness all the time. A smile on my face doesn’t make me naive. A gesture of politeness doesn’t make me weak. And avoiding confrontation doesn’t make me a coward. There will be times in your life when you feel you have absolutely no one to turn to. When you think you’re the only one struggling in this world. Well wake up and smell the coffee…. I gave an older man a few bucks so he can buy himself some pizza. And the sad thing is, he was happier than most people I know. He had no family, was living on the streets, and wasted his life. But he still managed to say thank you and god bless. He still managed to smile. His smile, with his crooked teeth, gave me more hope than I have had in a long time. So when you feel like the world is against you and you have no one to turn to. Open your eyes and realize, we all feel like that at some point.. So don’t think for one second that excludes me. Im human just like the rest of you..

Im rockin out over here with my new guitar set up.. Its awesome!! Rock and roll people..

I figured out a way to make some extra cash.. It has so far been the funnest way to make money that I have ever done. Sometimes it is not definite that I will receive money for the work I put in but it is still fun. It started with an idea to make ten dollars a day. Then I thought I could make one hundred a week. This week I may make more than three hundred. Last week I made zero. Overall it is keeping me busy and making me some cheddar or bacon or whatever………
