When it finally makes sense

I sometimes wonder why I do what I do...then there comes that moment. Clarity - ELATION...a fast pulse, when I remember, oh yeah! That's why! I love those moments!

Things that go bump in the night

A good horror movie has always been a friend of mine. I unfortunately haven't seen many lately, because they scare my wife, and keep her awake, and I've found that when she's awake and scared that I too am awake. The adrenaline rush though...the sheer horror, and the terrible acting...I mean really who would run upstairs if being chased by an axe murderer? I'm out the door baby! I love that lately the genre has arisen and become more respectable, still the days of Freddy and Jason...classic.

When crap don't go your way!

I've noticed in life that things rarely go according to plan. In fact my dad used to say..."Plan your day, and then plan for it to go wrong." I used to think, WOW! That's a real fatalist attitude! However, it's true. I've almost become accustomed to things getting screwed up, that it scares me when things run smoothly. I think it's part of the reason that older adults are so much more prone to bitterness. I have serious baggage with the BooMer generation, and the quote best generation ever. How did they know they were the best...they hadn't seen my generation yet. Not that GenX is full of success stories. I see them more as the "Gimme Gimme" Generations. Don't get me wrong...I respect those of the aged persuasion, but sometimes, cut me some slack...I'm not you, nor will I be. As the song says "I'm sorry, I can't be perfect". So, when crap don't go your way...look crap in the face (gross illustration) and smile. Cause somewhere down the road...you're due!

Of Life and Death

It's weird to hear of a guy younger than me dying...early twenties, everything to live for, and the end of his candle has burned. I never really understand the "Why" of this, but have grown to accept that I'm not invincible, nor ever will be. The breath I just sucked in my lungs could be my last, and as I sit on my deck watching my beautiful wife and two awesome boys...that's sad, but brings life back into...life. To live every moment for a purpose...the reason for life and death.
