Winter Oylimpics

Does anyone really care about the Winter Oylimpics, growing up we had the USSR and  they were the power house, with Norway and all the other cold countries in the world, and to beat the USSR it was a thrill as the United States was always in compitition with the USSR and we always knew the Russian judge cheated, and their missiles were pointed in our direction and we slept knowing that two leaders had their hand on the button, and we practiced Disater drills.

So when I see the United States win gold or any of the other medals do we care?

I like watching a few of the traditional winter sports, but roller derby on ice? I'm not saying Apollo Ono isn't good, but we are fighting Korea, who cares!

And when did shuffle board on Ice not have a drink involved?

The Button

I want to know who was the Son of a Bitch who came up with the idea of putting a button on the inside of mens pants, you know the one, the button to tighten the pants just a bit, then you can use the hook and then you zip your pants up, before you put on your belt.

This person had to be a person playing a joke or a MAD woman as how many times do you drink a bit too much coffee and you run to the bathroom for a bit of relief, you undo the belt, unzip the pant, undo the hook and you are ready for the big AHHHH, when the BUTTON is still holding the pants up and now you are about to have a hernia as you have to stop everything to unbutton the BUTTON and not embarras yourself while you are in the bathroom.

Who invited this item?

Thank you

Growing up Crumugeon

I probably miss spell the word Crumugeon, but it is such a great word! It pictures up this nasty face, then horried emotions and it is also just a fun word to say. CRUMUGEON!!!!

Now I'm a happy person and I'm my best when my feet hit the floor, and once I have my morning ritual I'm ready for the day, my mind is clear, my eyes are open and I'm ready to take on the day without a care in the world.

But my daughter is another status also, as well as my wife. Mornings to them are HELL they don't feel good, they don't want to get up and it is a slow drain on time for them to get a hello or hi! Small case due to the way they feel!

So what make a person happy in the morning verses a CRUMUGEON in the morning?

I say clean living, but I don't think this is a science fact? So it must be the way one rest or sleeps durning the night as I'm OUT, and both my daughter and wife struggle to go to bed, now they both will stay up all night if need be and I want to go to sleep early??

Don't know but for all you moring people!


HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD!!!

Its a NEW day its a new life

I want to feel again, not personally as we work on this daily, but I want to feel that passion in my job, I want to feel the ugh, I want to feel I have a reason to get up and kick ass again. Nothing seems to motivate me as I work for a company which is self defeating, but why don't I leave?

It is probably fear, but today is a new Day and I will start moving my items home starting this weekend and will start cleaning and working out of my home office with in a few weeks to see if I can change a few items.

How does it happen to go brain dead or no passion in the work place?

A couple of thoughts and one is sticking  around too long, like the old furniture you just expect it to be there and sure enough those comfortable shoes are sitting right there.
But the second is the lack of faith in the work place.

Gitomer says if you don't have faith in your work place then get a new work place as it is not the company's fault it is your fault.

I think this is where it is at.

Well it is a new life and and new day it is time to make this jump

My age verses MUSIC

I don't know when it happened but it did. I don't know how it happened but it did, and I don't think it is going to get any better either?

I love music, I love all kinds of music and the groups I like are vast and I dislike very few bands or artitst. Until we get that SCREAMING GUITAR

And what ever nerve I have they are standing on my last one when it comes to a screaming guitar.
Currently I have almost 8700+ songs on my Ipod and I have about 200 of those songs I have to delete due to that damn guitar.

So my question are the bands or artist covering up lack of talent with a screaming gutitar?

good thoughts?

What ever happened to them?

What ever happened to them, you know the other sock? When I bought them there were two, and now there is only one. Do socks cry out for their other mate? Do they get upset when we put togather a black and a dark blue togather, do they fight? or what happens, it is like the one shoe rule on the road what ever happened to the other shoe? and why is there only one shoe?

We have a basket which has only one sock in the basket and it is full of non matched socks and what ever happened to the mate?

who knows?????

We never seem to miss the ice with the scotch or the rum with the coke or the ball and the glove, but when it comes to an item which keeps us warm and is part of the dress atire then what ever happened to them?

These are things I think of during the day

50th Birthday

Well today is the day and as much as I might of wanted it not to come, there is one thing you can't stop which is TIME!

So here I am 50, 25 pounds over weight and working in a place I need to say Thank you to and then move on!

What holds me back?
Why havn't I made the next step?

Fear I think, no I know it is fear.

But like the mouse in WHO MOVED MY CHEESE it is time to make the move and find NEW CHEESE!

But today I'm going to set and enjoy my old stale cheese for no other reason than it is my BIRTHDAY!!!

This is IT!

Today is my last day to be in my 40's and reflecting on the last 10 years were they successful, great or what?

The Victories are my children, as the last one was born 10 years ago, and the oldest will now be 15 and this time has flown by with tears, laughter, anger and suprises and I cry inside knowning I only have maybe 4 more years with my oldest if I'm lucky!

But was the 40's any good for myself?

My wife and I struggle and those laughs have been few and far between, and to hear her laugh now makes the whole house feel up with warmth, but they are not very often. As for me though it has been a huge struggle in business, from the beginning of the 40's having a child, and a new business with new partners and expectations were great, but greed came into the picture and one of the partners took the dream away due to his greed of not only money, but women. This put everyone into a tail spin financially. But once getting stable there was the sell of the largest piece of business, to be taken away due to mistakes internally, and finally the economy took away much of any steam which was starting to build.

So I toast the 40's and close this chapter in my life book and I mark them as experience, not success but experience to pass on and to move forward.

Where most people built in their 40's their base for their fortunes, I'm still trying to build the platform of mine, but I celebrate the 50's even though I'm a bit heavier, not as fast but more wiser.

It has been a hard 10 years but I have my family, I have my parents still and I still have opportunity and this is what I build on.

Chears to the 40's

Here we come 50

living vicareosly

My youngest plays basketball and it is a sport which I coached very well. I have the Knute Rockney mentallity which is to run thru all walls, with or without cost?

She is not the worse player out there, nor is she the best. She can play defence, but offence is a ticket to see the game as she stands or moves very little. I feel she wants to be a point guard and run the show, but her talent level is not where it needs to be to do this.

Last night she actually skipped down the court to play defence, now in my years of coaching I have seen the curly shuffel, I've seen a player give back the ball to the offence player who just dribbled it off her foot, and I also have seen cartwheels. So seeing my daughter skip back on defence I should not be to upset about?

Now I'm not one of those people who belive it is OK to loose as long as you are having fun, but in her case I might make an exception?

Her talent lies in her voice and the stage. She expresses herself the best when she sings and she sings it all from Lady GaGa to almost anything else. If she knows the words she expresses it loud and clear.

But is the stage her court?

Time will tell and even though I get very frustrated watching her play basketball she makes me happy most of the days!

My daughter is growing up!

A BOY has invaded my house, now I have had boys call the house, and I have had texts to my house from boys, but this one came into my house and was under my own roof, and he came with presents.

I'm struggling to know what I really feel about this? To see my daughter smile uncontrolable is a view which every father wants for their children, but to know she is 14 and in 3 1/2 years she is gone to collage and gone for good hurts.

I also know at my age what a 9th grader in school also wanted, and a kiss and cop a feel was the agenda of the day, and I apoligize to those women today, but names will be with held! And I will not allow this to happen on my WATCH!

He brought his parents over which was nice and I could tell they were good people which helps the sting, but this boy was under my roof, holding my daughters hand and there is not enough chores around the house to keep me busy while he was there.

One of us needs to grow up, and maybe it is me?
