Politics as usual

So I voted, and now I can complain. The terminator has been voted in again for another term, oh how wonderful (sarcasm). It is neat that the democrats have taken the house and the senate, now we can see politics at its finest, fighting between the white house and house and senate. It should be an entertaining two years. Things were getting boring with the President pushing his warring agenda though D.C. Hope your local elections went your way, unless of course it was against what I think.

Vote yes? Vote no?

So election day is coming and in an attempt to be educated I went onto the internet to research the canidates and propositions. As I researched I found myself having no clearer picture of how to vote, as the props. go. I read both sides and many of the props. sounded good and made sense, but the reasons for saying no seemed to always be based on the fact that taxes would increase or the state is in debt and can't afford it. Both sides argue their point well and make their point sound like the right one. I was trying to be an educated voter, but with my research I just felt more ignorant than when I began. I hope you have a better picture than I do and good luck on election day.

Dolphins make me sad

Look at what the Dolphins did, they broke my little girls heart. She got all dressed up only to have her feelings crushed by the lack of heart by those fish. The team has talent but can't seem to have that translate in to quality play. Well at least I have someone to cry with. Hope you enjoyed the blog exclusive picture of my little girl in her Dolphins outfit.

I'm batman

So the school at work at had a spirit week and one of the days was superhero day. It was fun to see all the costumes and you can see me dressed as batman with a student dressed as a fan of mine. It was kinda wierd running around campus all day as Batman, but fun never the less. Kaiya looked at me weird but wasn't afraid of her old man in a mask.

Finally

So the Dolphins finally won today and barely against a horrid Tennessee team. Our offence was offensive and just looks plain out of sinc. I hope that Mr. Culpepper can really start to grasp this offence and do what he is capable of. Well I am happy that were not the worst team in Florida right now, sorry Bucs fans it looks like the old days for your crew. Don't get me wrong I'm not boasting cause I know in two weeks the Dolphins seem to be very capable of being the worst once again.

Undrerroos

So you remember underroos, the little kids underwear that had cartoon characters on them mostly superheros. I remember going to the store and seeing them as a child and seeing the batman ones and wanting them but instead my mom would always buy me the economical tightie whities from K-mart. Anyways now a days I realize that the underroo generation is still here they have just moved on to boxers. Now that I buy my own underwear, I buy adult underroos. Boxers these days have anything you can imagine on them from little classy patterns to Tony the Tiger, and you can be sure that me as a underroos deprived child am reverting to childhood and catching up on the cartoon underwear. Don't get me wrong I have some plain ones with little patterns, but I love my Simpsons, Sesame Street, and Snoopy boxers because they remind me of the underroos I never had. So don't feel bad for my tightie whitie past - my present is full of fun, but don't get excited only my wife gets to see me run around in my adult underroos.

Five Great Years

So on August 5th five years ago my precious little lady and I got hitched. We were looking at some pictures of ourselves throughout our dating and marriage, and I got to say we have had a great time. We actually started dating a little over ten years ago, we looked so young. I must say it has been a wonderful five years with lots of memories and great times. She is still the love of my life and I love her more than ever, and every day I thank God for the love of my woman.

Magic Draft

So the Orlando Magic drafted J.J. Reddick and to tell you I'm pretty happy bout that, especially after last years draft where the Magic decided to draft a project player from over seas who never even signed. I think J.J. will be a good fit with this team as Dwight Howard gets better and as he starts to demand double teams a great pure shooter like J.J. can be lethal. Also J.J. showed this year he could even create a few shots for himself. I am looking forward to seeing this young team grow and get better and with the way they ended next year they might even be able to make a little noise in the weak eastern conference.

Back again

So I haven't forgotten to blog, my internet has been down at home for a few weeks and since it is the summer I don't spend much time in the office. Plus were moving apartments in the dorm since I have now become the head Boy's Dean at my school. Besides moving my family is coming this week to see the little one, and oh yeah I'm being audited by the IRS, so fun this past two week. Well more to come soon its late and I need to rest.

Futbol

So I've gotten a bit of World Cup fever, I usually watch these events till the U.S. or Puerto Rico is out of the running. This year though I have found myself watching and keeping up with the games even when countries that don't usually catch my attention are playing and actually being involved watcher. I am starting to see the appeal it has for much of the world, it is an intriguing sport. I do wish however they, especially for the World Cup, that they had professional refs not ones that have day jobs cause they have given these game a little bit of a black eye. So does this mean I am going to start watching the MLS or other soccer leagues, no it hasn't gotten me that intrigued, but I hope you all are enjoying the coverage of these game I know I am.

Dog attack

So here is a video of my wife getting attacked.

Attack

So it has been a while since my last post, the last few weeks of school were hectic and draining physically and mentally, but school is out for summer and my batteries are charging up. We have a relationship with our local police who like to come up to our school and train their drug dogs at our dorm. The cops like it cause it has different smells and resembles more of the real life environments, we the deans like cause it keeps the kids who might dabble in drugs honest. They come usually a couple times a year and train in the guys rooms. When they were here the last week of school, they expressed interest in using our facility over the summer for attack dog training and of course we thought that would be sweet. So this past Wednesday they came up to our campus with four attack dogs and did different exercises, some search and some biting. The picture shows my wife getting a bite from one of the dogs, she said it felt like someone was pinching her, however if that suit wasn't on her arm would be shredded. And the dogs except for one were friendly unless during an exercise, after they were done you could pet them and they were nice as can be, and very obedient. It was a cool experience watching the dogs work, maybe next I'll put on the suit.

A Kaiya Update

So she will be eight weeks old tomorrow and she is growing. Her eyes are starting to lock on to things including us, it's so cool to see here staring at you. She is also starting to smile at us, it's so weird to see her grow before our eyes. Kaiya is also putting on some baby fat, and now as the picture shows you has found her thumb and is starting to suck it. More later and you can continue to go to photobucket for recent pics.

Mat Kearney concert

So I had the privilege to see Mat Kearney in concert last night with a few friends. Here is a pic. of Kearney in action. It was a great show, he and his band sounds great. He played most of his songs. We saw him in a little cafe/club in downtown San Fran. it was a small intimate venue and we were up close and personal. He comes across as a real humble guy and very personable. We had the opportunity to meet him after the show and he was a very nice guy and he made sure he had an opportunity to meet all of the people who were around. If you have a chance give his new album a listen entitled "nothing to lose". I had his album "bullet" as one of my favorite things a couple months ago. His latest re-releases about have of "bullet" and the other half are new songs.

Visit

So here is my friend Chris holding Kaiya, he visited us for the weekend. He was the first of our friends from back east to see her and he also had the privilege to spend Alana's first mothers day with us. By the way I hope all you mothers out there had a wonderful mother's day, I have much respect for mothers, especially after having a child.

This gas stinks

So I paid $3.11 for gas at Costco yesterday, and it is now officially ridiculous. Gas keeps prices getting higher and higher and the oil companies strangely get richer and richer. You know they are posting record profits, and our president just sits back and gives us a little lip service and some lame, no help four point plan to help us with our addiction to oil. By the way how can I be addicted if it is my only real option, just a question. You know what we need is a real joe as president, not some rich politician who owns some oil tycoon or some other lobbyist for their support and cash. We need a regular guy with a smart head on his shoulders, but if your not filthy rich or well connected you have no shot, which means we get the same old types running our country who have no idea how the average American lives his life. Any ways good luck with your gas mortgages.

Just walk him

So Barry Bonds hit another home run today and is 5 away from passing Babe Ruth and in a game where the numbers mean so much the implications are huge. It seems that Barry thinks it's his right to pass the Babe and this blogger is upset. It's time to see what these recent home run records for what they are, trash. In my mind Roger Maris still holds the home run single season record and Barry, Sammy, Mark and Raphael hold no place on the home run list. In my opinion its time to walk Barry every time he steps up and give him no chance to pass up players who did it without the benefits of the "accidental use of the clear and cream". I mean the babe did it with food, drink, fat genes and a great eye, and Hank with consistency and a long career. Now we have the needle generation and I refuse to celebrate the milestones of cheaters. I'm not a jerk I believe people make mistakes and should be given some grace, but just not the numbers that they accumulated during their cheating. So since they probably won't take away his numbers walk him, then walk him some more and let the records stand.

Haiku for you

I had a dream that
I could not dream and now I
Cannot remember

The Kaiya report

So Kaiya had here first doctor's visit yesterday, and besides telling us she is beautiful, she also said she was perfect. Thank you very much, not from my lips, but those of a medical professional. It's pretty weird having a baby around, you walk into the house and see this tiny little thing hanging around and it kinda surprises you and you say, oh yeah we have a baby. Sometimes I can't believe there really was something in Alana's belly. Were doing well, trying to catch up on sleep. Poor Alana barely gets to rest she only gets an hour here and a couple there in between all the other stuff like eating and cleaning and living. I have a new appreciation for all mothers they are saints and I applaud all you who are mothers. Well take care and get some sleep for us.
