I cannot accept that just because I am an average guy that my life should be average...

I got this message today in my google voice – voice mail transcription. My opinion… the transcription of kalleighs voice mail is perfect in my opinion.
“Thanks and all. Well, I’ll talk to you. His I love you and I love you, huh. Hi, Hey Hi Mary, Good bye bye. Okay, bye bye alright. ”
Kimberly and Kalleigh in "Hi I love you"

Kaydence, Kalleigh, Collin and Aidan
I talk about a lot of different topics here, I realized recently when reading my posts that I have neglected to share something with you that is one of the most important parts of my life! My Family!
To me Family is part of my heartbeat, I am a man that loves his wife and kids passionately! So it is only fit that I share them with you…
Kalleigh, Kimberly, Kaydence, Jason, Aidan
Kimberly: My wife and soul mate! honestly I have no idea what I would do without her… she keeps me sane, inspired, driven and organized.
Aidan: This little guy is one of a kind… Aidan is autistic and takes 200% of my attention… and I have ADD so it is a lot of work! If there is toilet paper spread around the house in streamers…. if there is a weird smell in the house… or if it sounds like someone threw a toddler bed down the stairs… the familiar refrain… “AIDAN!!!” is always not far behind!
Collin: Collin is my first born… we have gone through a lot together… He has weathered my divorce from my first wife, and an adoption by his step-dad. Needless to say he has had more than his share of drama in his life. Our relationship is definitely one that requires constant effort and patience on both of our parts… I love him more than anything and one day we will figure out what to do with each other.
Kaydence: Kaydence is my first girl… I have to say it is really strange trying to figure out how to raise little girls… they get their feelings hurt by EVERYTHING!! I am beginning to become an expert at asking nicely for them to be good girls… Kaydence is as sweet as they come and just as hard headed (she gets it from her mom) She is also a brilliant artist with lots of creativity… and a good eye for detail…
Kalleigh: Kalliegh is a little fireball… she has no fear… and is the youngest of our clan… she knows how to hold her own and pretty much keeps her siblings in line with a well placed screech of disagreement when somebody crosses her. She loves to watch “Signing Times” and is learning new signs every day there is nothing cuter than watching her sing along with the video and do her signs.

Kim and I are a bit eccentric in the relationship department and we often find ingenious ways to avoid the common pitfalls in relationships. One common problem in most relationships is getting all bent out of shape and yelling at each other… (don’t you dare act like it has never happened!) Recently when we realized that we were becoming a little harsh with each other we devised a foolproof plan to stop the argument. We decided to use a “safe word” to let each other know when we were feeling upset and needed relief. I suggested Supercalafragalisticexpialidotious for several reasons
There is one unforseen side effect of using Supercalafragalisticexpialidotious as a safe word…. it sabotages arguments! no matter how mad you are or frustrated or not listening…. when someone blurts out Supercalafragalisticexpialidotious it is impossible to keep a straight face… much less fall out laughing on the floor… try it! let me know how long your arguments last!

Our family recently converted to eating organic, non processed foods. We cut out high fructose corn syrup, white sugar, white flour, hormone treated meats and milk.
we replaced those items with agave syrup, raw cane sugar, whole wheat flour and organic, meat and milk. all of these items are more expensive than the more processed versions. However we eat less now because the food is actually more filling. so it equals out…
The curious thing is:
I lost my milk allergy
I lost 30 lbs
I have more energy
I sleep better
and when I add any of those items back to my diet…
I have unbearable cravings to constantly eat
stomach cramps
tension and anxiety
I do not sleep well at all
The truth is you may not actually know the truth about the food you eat… don’t take my word for it…look up the ingredients in the things you use… deodorant, sunscreen, ketchup, dishwasher soap, milk, meat, flour, rice, sugar, splenda the list goes on… the thing that gets me… why does someone not tell us these things carry toxins, and hormones, and chemicals that could cause hundreds of physical ailments? The answer is simple… its not financially smart.
So what do you think about this?

I think this adequately describes my emotions at the moment of inspiration
It seems the media these days is full of news… about the economy, the democratic agenda, the republican agenda, whats happening on Wall Street, how somebody got away with something and everybody else had to pay for it. In some ways.. its good to know the truth about things… to be informed so that you can make good decisions and survive in an increasingly “dog eat dog” world.
I tend to enjoy the social media circle to some extent..I use twitter, facebook, most often and I like to share my favorite websites on Stumbleupon.com . I like being connected to people, my family, friends, and just the occasional acquaintance… I even check in on a few enemies occasionally to see what they are doing in their mad scientist laboratories!
Recently however my social media has become crowded with… how do I say it nicely RAVING LUNATICS! it seems everywhere I go I am barraged by virtual sign waving screaming crowds of “conservative protesters” they fill my normally entertaining social media with “this is why obama is evil”, “this is further proof of obamas evil plan” and “here is even more proof! he was actually born in Australia and they wouldn’t take him!” the list of antichrist predictions, conspiracy theories, petitions, videos, crappy photo montages attached to sappy music, are more than I can stand! Please PLEASE!!! I really hoped that the community of Christians was made up of more than this! the number of people continuously regurgitating unconfirmed and often stupidly one-sided views is absolutely ridiculous!
I am not here to discuss whether I agree with Obama’s ideals or how he is running the country. Honestly the fact that anyone can keep this flaming runaway wagon of a country within the white lines is a feat of unbelievable skill… America is so fickle that we can single-handedly will bring about our own destruction with or without ANY president’s help.
So you didn’t get the president that you wanted, you are mad.. you lost your 401K, and you may have to pay for someone else’s insurance, or foot the bill for their bonus while you bail them out. So you may pay higher taxes, the president may be a fraud, he may be the “AntiChrist”, he may be secret friends with someone that is completely vile and distasteful to you. So you are angry… about all of this… but why? why are you angry? did you expect the world to just come whimpering to your feet and give you every thing you wanted? Who the heck asked you how things should go? Since the beginning of time tyrants, dictators, coups, and all around nasty empires have risen and fallen… and no one has ever stopped to ask… “oh… so mister John Q Christian, what should we do next? do you like how things are working out for you?” America is NOT YOUR COUNTRY!!! HEAVEN IS YOUR COUNTRY!!! get it through your thick heads! this country is not a “CHRISTIAN” country! It is the same heathen country that it has always been. Sure many of the founders were Christians, Almost every great empire has been founded on good ideas and good principals… because they work! But man is always self seeking and ultimately undermines all the good intentions and even the best laid plans can work to benefit the corrupt. Why do you insist on meddling in the politics of a country that you don’t even belong to?
So again… you are angry, you feel betrayed, you feel taken advantage of, you feel like things are not going the way you like… Get Over It!!! Focus on what matters, people are jobless, people are homeless, people are hopeless, people are directionless!!!
Instead of just adding to the confusion how about you step away from your stupid, Protest-a-matic, Spam-a-holic, mailing list and actually help the people that are hurting! This is an opportunity to promote “LEGAL IMMIGRATION” to the Kingdom of Heaven!

Today was Fathers day, and all the days leading up to Fathers day my thoughts have wandered to thinking about my Dad, It has been over 2 years since I have seen him. I think about how my brother and I – his two oldest sons- have moved away to start a life of our own. We are busy with our families, our careers, our lives… I see pictures of my new brother-in-laws and my youngest brother where my pictures used to be… helping, building, being sons. being good sons! while I love my brother-in-laws as much as any brother, a part of me feels like I should be there helping, being a son, watching my parents grow older, surrounded by neices and nephews… But I am over 14 hours away.
The older I get the more value I place on family and relationships, and the less I value all the stuff that gets in the way of family- and relationships. So today I am homesick, wishing I could hop in the car and drive across town and hang out with my dad on the front porch and really spend some time… because love is not calling once a year to say happy Fathers Day, It is so…. so much more.
Happy Fathers Day Dad…
Your Bald Sappy Son!
