I have been starving for information and knowledge.

I have never been a book worm, interested in the news, followed politics, religion, or been interested in history. But I have been starving for this kind of information lately. I have found the audio books on I-Tunes very helpful. I spend so much time on the road I got through the 16 hour bible in about 3 weeks and will be purchasing a new book today. I have started the president site that has me more involved in politics then I ever have been. I get online and look and read news articles when ever I have a chance. Today I found myself flipping through the channels and stopping on the history channel. This a good change in my eyes. Not sure what has brought on this sudden thirst for knowledge but better late than never.

Opening my eyes!!

For the first time in my entire life I'm opening my eyes to change. I have never been a person that liked or excepted changed. Since I was 15 and 1/2 I have only had 3 different jobs. I have never left the west valley of phoenix, Arizona. When I go to a restaurant, I always order the same thing.
Something has happened lately and I couldn't tell you what it is. I just know that it is socking my wife. Like tonight we went to Chipolte. I have always gotten the soft tacos and have never tried anything else on the menu. Tonight I got a border bowl. This mite sound stupid to you, but to people that know me, this is insanity. I don't change what I order not to mention get ride of the tortilla completely. I'm not sure where my insanity will take me. But I think that opening my eyes to new things will give me options to improve the quality of me and my family's life.

I hate taking down Christmas.

Today we took down Christmas. The tree in the house and the lights out front. This year wasn't too bad since we didn't go all out like we usually do. Most of Christmas was still packed up. It is still not something anybody likes doing, but it is the first step in the quest to get all the junk out of my home. We also got allot of stuff for the garage sale next weekend.

Got pulled over this morning!!

On my way to work this morning at 1:30AM. I saw the red and blue lights flashing in the rear view mirror. I thought it was weird because I was going 50 in a 45 and that is usually the cushion. He came up to my passenger side window and asked me where I was headed. I told him to work. He then asked if I had anything to drink tonight. I responded saying, You mean this morning? No! He then asked if I always go to work this late. I said, You mean this early? Yes! He then asked If had a divers license, registration, and proof of insurance. I said yes and as I reached for it, he said that's OK - have a nice night. I responded with and you have a great day.
As I pulled away I realized he had just been profiled in the 88 Honda Accord for a person with a drinking problem. I guess I could see this but I just choose to not have a nice car and keep money in the bank. Not because I spend my money on booze.

Clean sweep!

I have decided that our lives are cluttered with things we never use and don't need. The next 2 weeks will be the simplifying of my life. No more stuff just collecting dust. If we don't use it, it's gone. My plan is to sell all this stuff in a yard sale the weekend before we go to Disneyland. I need little spending cash.

I'm so glad it's almost over

The holiday season is a wonderful time of year. But for some reason this year, more than most I'm happy to see it coming to an end. This year for some reason just seemed extra stressful and busy. Looking forward to a new year with less stress in my life.

Working on Christmas eve should be against the law

I got up at 1:30 AM on Christmas eve to go to work. This is horrible because it ruins the night that is normally spent with family. It's hard too be in the Christmas spirit when you are very tired. Sleep is my friend that needs to get his way or he is very unpleasant to be around. I'm with my cousins Chris down with 2007. Hoping for a better 08.

The jetsons cartoon.

I was watching cartoons with Jenna Sunday morning when we came across the jetsons. Holy cow this a futuristic blast from the past. I remember when this show was so cool and I wanted to live in space one day. I think I enjoyed the show more than Jenna did. But at least she was willing to humor me for a half hour. I let the kid in me imagine what it would be like to get stuck in space traffic instead of morning rush our. Just think of the view.

I love sherriff Joe Arpaio!!!!

Some people think he is a horrible sheriff. But I think he is honorable. He mite be a big fan of the spot lite but the things he comes up with are pretty out side of the box. Sheriff has saved the tax payers of Arizona so much money it's not even funny. Instead of building a new prison for the over crowded prisons, he built a tent city for prisoners. This is just one of the many ways he saves taxes. He gives criminals no privileges. Some prisons in other states are just short of resort living on tax payer money. But I bet the prisoners in tent city in July are not having a good time and that is the way it should be. I have had friends go to tent city in the summer and they said it was the worst time of there life and they would never go back. That makes me thing sheriff Joe has done his job. He has a chain gangs of prisoners that go around cleaning up our state. He make the prisoners give back to the community's they have taken from. In this link sheriff Joe is at it again by forming a DUI chain gang. This chain gang is barring people of alcoholism and DUI victims. Just another way he is thinking outside the box to get through to prisoners. Other Sheriffs should use sheriff Joe as an example of how to treat prisoners.

The annual friend christmas party has changed

Tonight was the annual Christmas party with all my friends. I remember the days of drunken insanity when everybody had to stay the night. Now we decorate cookies with the kids. The wives talk about the guys and the guys play rock band. The party is over early because the kids need to get some sleep. Instead of the sun coming up and telling us to go to bed.

This is not all bad. I don't miss the days of drunken intoxication. They were good times but they are not missed. Growing up just kind of hits you all at once. The crazy party's seemed like a very short time ago but in all reality the party has been winding down for years.

I'm just fortune at enough to still see all my friends. We don't see each other as much as we did in high school. But our lives aren't as simple as things were back then. This party is one thing I always look forward too during this time of year. I plan to do my best to keeping this tradition going on for a very long time. It's not the out control party anymore but it has become very important to me. I think tonight was one of the best party's we have had. It's fun watching our kids grow up and making jokes about the stupid things we used to do. I hope our kids are as luck as us to have such a great group of friends.

Love you guys and Merry Christmas.

I'm a real scrooge this year

I did a pretty good job on the lights out front this year but that was the extent of my Christmas spirit this year. The inside of the house is just like the inside of me, just wants the holidays to be over asap. From thanksgiving to Jenna's birthday to everything in between I'm burnt. Plus the holiday being on a Tuesday sucks because 2 days off, 1 day on, 1 day off, 3 days on. It makes it hard to be in the spirit. I'm planing to force myself to be in the Christmas spirit next year. For the girls and my own happiness. This year needs to be over so things can be left behind and I can move on with my life.
This is me hopping for a great 08. I can't take another F'ed up year.

I'm your dirty little secret!!!

I have had over 170 people visit my site over 25 times in the last month. I'm so popular yet very few are willing to comment on my thoughts. I know I'm a little crazy and controversial sometimes and this keeps most people in hiding. So I have come to the conclusion that most of you come and enjoy my site almost everyday,you're just not willing to admit it yet. It's OK. I like being your dirty little secret.
You're so Naughty!!!!!!
Enjoy

Up and comming for the new year.

The new year has many great things coming to the web site. As you all know I have started the president site. I started this site for many reasons. I wanted to be very involved in the presidential election. With so much at stake this year, I wanted to make the right decision. This forces me to know what is going, on and I'm sure you guys will keep me on my toes. I also started it so that all of you would be involved through me and make the right decision. This site has already made me more involved in this election then any other and I have just touched the tip of the iceberg.

I also started the web site just because it's fun pretending to run for president . I'm involved without the stress of actually wondering if i will win. Not that I would have a chance, even if I was doing it for real. I hope this helps all of you make the right decision for 08.

I will be open for challenges on the site after the new year. This is what gets us all involved. If you view thing differently, I will be glad to try and change your mind. Or I could see things your way and change my view. This has already happened once and I haven't even dedicated my self to the site yet. It was done through conversation not the site. But I will send all people to the site for comments from now on. So all can see what changed my mind or didn't.

Enjoy,

The holy prepuce?????

I heard about the holy prepuce on the radio and they said it had been stolen. They also said that some guy was looking for it and he was going to write a book about it. I thought it was a joke. So when I got home I did some research and found that not only was there a guy looking for it and writing a book. I actually found it on wikipedia. Read this story about the guy looking for holly prepuce and I copied the wikipedia definition below it. I think this is complete nuts but I'm only about half way through the bible and maybe that part is still to come. Or this is all just nuts. ( no pun intended)

11th century Icon of Christ Pantocrator.
The Holy Prepuce, or Holy Foreskin (Latin præputium or prepucium) is one of several relics attributed to Jesus. At various points in history, a number of churches in Europe have claimed to possess it, sometimes at the same time. Various miraculous powers have been ascribed to it.
