I have a problem...

I did not go to school here:

But when it comes to football... I'm obsessed, and I don't even know why. Honestly, I'm obsessed to the point that it bothers me. I don't konw exactly where it came from. My dad is not an alum... my dad is not a huge fan... it just sort of happened from growing up in Ohio.

For instance... I'm totally bent out of shape right now because the Buckeyes lost their first game today to NO ONE... Illinois. Unranked beating #1. I had to turn the game off at halftime, and go out to not let it get to a REALLY bad place. Then I return home to find that it's happened... they've lost... not a good time in my life.

Why is this? It's a game... not life... not death... not important in the grand scheme of things. I love sports, but if they keep doing this to me... I'm going to have to quit cold-turkey. Wish they had the NCAA patch.

geesh! Well,

Hope I get this ironed out before basketball season... I bleed BLUE during NCAA Basketball!

Keep Moving Forward...

People like Walt Disney have always been inspiring to me. Their stories, and the quotes that have transcended time. I heard a good one recently. Apparently he would tell this to new people coming in, and those interested in the Disney process.

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

I think I'm a keep moving forward kind of guy... almost to a fault. Looking back is good, don't get me wrong. I know we learn from the past... in fact I LOVE history too. But if we look back, just to look back, and we keep looking back... well, just try walking that way. It won't turn out well. I love being curious, and heading down new paths. I love seeing where things will take me. Almost being a step behind myself.

Open up doors, do new things... BE CURIOUS, because curiosity may have killed the cat, but it gave the mouse a whole new life.

Thanks for being inspiring Walt!

...Smell my feet, give me something good to eat!

I had forgotten a part of my childhood until Spencer came home from Kindergarten with something new that his teacher had taught him... you all know it, so go ahead and say it out loud, promise it will make any stress go away.

"Trick or Treat... Smell my feet... Give me something GOOD to eat... If you don't... I DON'T CARE... I"ll pull down your underwear!"

Yeah! Good job! Don't you feel better? I mean... what if we really operated life in this manner? What if you went to McD's and applied this? #1... You'd be pullin' some underwear down FO' SHO! Secondly, how would they respond??? Can you imagine the looks?

I know that maybe I shouldn't like Halloween so much, because it's "pagan", but it's hilarious! I love it when people get into it, and have a blast. I love watching my kids dress up...



I love wathing them get excited about their acquisitions of the night...



Maybe pagan holidays have a good plan... HAVE FUN... People will like it!

Remember your childhood... it's good for you! If you didn't get to trick or treat as a wee lad... go for it now... dress up... live vicariously through your kids for halloween. They'll love you for it!
