The time has finally arrived. I will driving up to where my kids live outside Buffalo, NY then my son and I will drive over to a motel in Port Clinton, OH and meet my dad to do some fishing on Lake Erie.
I can’t wait to go and spend some quality time with them. I have been looking forward to this trip for quite a while now and I think we will have a lot of fun.
We might slip in a day at Cedar Point since we are in the area…worlds best roller coasters are supposed to be there…
I will make sure to take plenty of pictures and video for youtube..lol
Blog is updated to wordpress 2.8 and I also changed the theme once again…I enjoy the random changes that comes with it. It took me a bit longer than anticipated to upgrade to 2.8, perhaps because it has been a while since I last did it and also because I haven’t had any coffee yet this morning. It is brewing as I type this…oh where would we be without coffee eh?
Anyway, I am really looking forward to my upcoming fishing trip, I will be driving up from Maryland to near Buffalo New York and visiting with my 2 kids and then my son and I will drive over to Ohio and stay in a hotel and meet my dad and enjoy a week of fishing and hanging out until the 4th of July.
I need a break from work and to spend some time with some family.
I would like to get back to Indiana sometime this summer, we will see what happens and if we can ever get some money saved up…always something these days…
This messed up world we live in can force you into thinking that you can never really be happy unless you are some kind of rich and famous person with servants, houses around the world and power to do what you want when you want. It has taken me my whole life to accept the fact that the pursuit of happiness is an illusion.
It is just like time, people always say they never have time, but if you never make time, how can you ever have it? The same thing goes for happiness, if you never create happiness, how can you ever find it? The concept is so simple, that people can’t see it. Kind of like sunshine, it is right outside your window, but you don’t see it because you have the blinds pulled down all the time.
Another thing about constantly looking for happiness is that when you do finally find it, because you have been lost out in the world for so long, you don’t even realize it is sitting right in front of you. I guess what I am saying is if you want to be found and brought to the light, first you have to get lost out in the wilderness that is the world.
We all have our path to take in this world, one thing that has helped me tremendously, if I am stressed out and on the verge of losing it, is if I take 5 minutes in a quiet place by myself and close my eyes and clear every thought in my mind and say a silent prayer and accept some light into my mind. You would be surprised the impact this can have on your day friends.
Until next time, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars and always remember that if you need help all you have to do is ask and you shall receive.
On a day set aside to honor the memory’s of those you knew or those who have given their life in defense of this great country I find myself remembering more than I want to. I remember my grandma and her nurturing ways, always so kind and always wanting to feed me and my friends. At the time I didn’t realize how lucky I was to have her in my life….I miss you Grandma…
I remember SSgt Peters, he fell way before his time, back in July 2004 in northern Iraq, a roadside bomb went off as he was manning the gun on the back of the truck, he didn’t survive…it made a huge impact on our unit, the 494th…I wasn’t prepared for that to happen, although death was just a breath away the whole time I was over there…You will never be forgotten brother…
I remember my Grandpa, he was a big, loud guy, I have heard stories about how mean he could be, I never really seen it, perhaps we remember the best of people…making their memory worth saving…
This is dedicated to Cody, as long as I have a breath in my body I will keep you on the path son…
September sun blowing golden hair now keep in mind son
She was never there October’s rust
Bisecting black storm clouds
Only the deaf hear my silent shouts
Yet in the dark still he screams your name
Nights living death with witch rhymes insane
Ten years amassed para toda mi vida?
Lost man in time was his name Peter?
September sun rotted flatbush porch
I would have run then had I known the cost
Autumnal rays turned your eyes to stone
Did it give you pleasure to steal my soul
Yet in the dark still he screams your name
Nights living death with witch rhymes insane
Ten years amassed para toda mi vida?
Lost man in time was his name Peter?
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that my son, Cody, is 17 years old. It seems just like yesterday when he was a baby crapping in his diaper and crying for his bottle. Amazing how time can play tricks with your head if you let it. The more time passes by the more I seem to want to go back and recapture moments long gone. But at the same time I seek new memories to hold onto as well. I guess the point I am trying to make to myself is that I need to live each day as if it were my last on this earth.
So many years have gone by and it is a constant struggle to balance the time and energy to keep everything in my life moving forward. I apologize to my family back in Indiana and my kids for not being a larger part of their lives. I get so caught up in what is happening right here, right now, that I don’t take time to keep them informed on things going on with me.
In any case, a life full of regrets is not one worth living, so we can’t change the past, but we can make a difference right now. Call your Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, Son or Daughter and tell them you love them and miss them right now. It will make a difference, believe it or not.
