Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Summer is finally here. After weeks of June gloom in July, the sun has finnaly come out and shown its face. This of course means summer activities. Swim lessons, going to the beach, lounging in the ghetto pool in the back yard, summer grilling, and getting a tan.

At this moment I’m sitting in the shade at the community pool as my daughter takes her 2nd week of swimming lessons. The pool is quite large and blue with the deep end in the middle dropping to 12 feet. Parents line the south wall just outside of the water as they watch their kids flounder in the pool like fish that have just been pulled on to the boat. The life guards are all women, brown and tanned with large hats and wet shirts. You hear them yelling out childrens names like Santa calls for his reindeer, ” Go Amanda, go Terri, go Rachel, go Paul ! On the top of the water to the very far wall ! ”

The lesson will be done soon. We’ll walk out and around the corner where the kid will pick up a free box lunch that the center gives away to any kid that asks. She’ll grab the lunch and we’ll walk home. In a few hours we’ll both be in our ghetto pool relaxing and getting some sun. Not much else to do today. Lucky me.

This picture makes me happy. Maybe its because to me it represents family unity and purpose and brings us as a family closer together. I love ridding with my them and are grateful for each of them in my life.

I decided to get out of the house and have lunch with the kid. She and I spend a lot of time at the house, but we’re not always together. She’s getting older and more independent, and doesn’t always want to be around me, but sometimes she does, and I need to take more advantage of that. So today, we ventured out to have lunch. Tomorrow, who knows ?

Behold the puppies power over you !!!

So we had an earth quake yesterday. Nothing too big. 6.9 rolling quake. That means it didn’t shake as much as it did roll up and down, like the waves at sea. No damage to the house, but it was fun to watch the fish tank water swell from side to side and a picture frame swing back and forth.

I had a video I made but the wife was screaming out too many obsenaties to put on the web.

Srsly

Just have’n a drink.

I can’t adequately tell you how much better I feel after my trip. I feel more centered, confident, and with purpose. I feel unburdened by the trivial matters of my life. I feel ready to take on a new challenge or continue an old one. I feel like I’m no longer willing to take shit from people in my life. No longer will I tolerate those who wish to use me at no expense to themselves. If you have taken without giving, lied to me instead of having the courage to be honest, talked badly about me behind my back or have just been a douche to my family, your days are numbered. You should just do yourself a favor and get out of my life as quickly as you can.

If on the other hand if you are none of those things then you have nothing to worry about. I support and love all of those who show fidelity. No one is more loyal to his friends then I am.

I feel good. I feel strong. I feel alive again. I’m ready for anything.
