just another monday...

Hello readers,


I would first like to start this out with a moment of silence for a family member who has past on much before his time. ......(moment of silence). I was informed Saturday day by my sister that my father's step-brother Mr. Bob Ticci past on. Like my mother has commented in the past "life isn't fair." He was far to young and never even had a chance to allow us all to say that he battle brain cancer, because he didn't. If I am not mistaken from the day we found out he had it until the day we found out that he past on it was only about two weeks. Hardly not enough time to even begin to battle. I don't remember a whole lot of him in my life, but the two things I know for sure is that he was quiet and one of the softest spoken guys around. My thoughts go out to Grandma whom has endured much loss in the past three years. We all Love Grandma. And to you Uncle Bob we will remember you and WE ALL LOVED YOU AS WELL.
Why is it that such nice people who keep to themselves and just go though life living have to be taken from us prematurely. I can't express my thanks to you mom and dad for letting me know when he was over there, only a month ago. I am glad that I got to see him, although brief, I did. My kids had a chance to meet him and he got a chance to meet them. As short and brief as it was, and if none of them remember it, I know that I will. And I know that you (mom and dad) will as well. It was you that gave the three of them a chance to have there lives intersect at that time.
I will end with one more moment of silence for all those who we have loved and still do love deeply.....(moment of silence) We love you all!!!!!!
Yes, I did speak for all of us......

another hot, hot day...

Hello all you readers.:
Yes, I am still here. I know, one day without a blog entry and it seems like I have been gone forever. Thanks to everyone who came over yesterday for the games, entertainment, visiting and BBQ. It was a blast. As alway it is a lot of fun when the boys are here and everyone comes over. It seems like we all have a lot of fun. Thess! We all look forward to you being here with us soon.
Today was one of those days where it seemed gray even though the sun was shining. I seemed to have these days here and there. I do pretty good most of the time, but sometimes it feels like... oh, you guys don't need to here about that.
Well, it has been a good weekend for the most part. Now, it is time to get prepared for Monday. DAMN IT! I have to work tomorrow. I try to keep my mind busy most of the time with things that are good and happy. This little laptop seems to keep me pretty busy most of the time. Just doing little things like my blogs. I hope everyone out there has a great week ahead of them and take care of yourself.

Sunny Saturday Morning.....

Good morning all you readers (family),

Some day I will get a huge surprise, when some one I don't know reads one of my blogs and comments. I just get a kick out of this whole thing. Maybe, because it is new to me. I have always enjoyed writing things down, be it thought, emotions, feelings, opinions or just a bit of babble. I have lots of pieces of paper and notebooks with a large variety of things written in them. Writing here is fun because everyone get to read it. I do tend to hold back on some of the emotional feeling when writing on here. This is probably for the best at times.
I am looking forward to everyone coming over again to visit today, I only wish my anonymous, "everlovin' sister" was also here. She will be soon, then we will all be able to get together. The entire family. YEEEHAAAAA!
Got the lawn mowed by 7:30 this morning, I think if I would have waited any longer, it would have been to hot.
I haven't been on the computer the past day, because my connection has been shit for some reason. Maybe it is time to get my own wireless connection, so that I don't have to worry about the damn thing disconnecting in the middle of things. That becomes a royal pain in the ass. I guess that's what I get. Overall, I can't really complain to much, since this little old, slow computer really has been working pretty good for what I do. Only because, I am so new to it and to me this is a damn good computer.
I am still working on my book. I read a little here and there and it is still very infuriating to me. If only it would happen. That George Bush could and would get prosecuted for murder. It would be a "fairytale" ending to a unbelievable 8 year term of the president. I sure hope all those loud mouth conservative are enjoying their president. I have notice how they all seem to keep their mouths such now days. They all seem to just ignore what they have voted for and act like they had no part of it. Wow! what a change of attitude they all have now. They were all for it and for him in the beginning acting as if... all us smart common sense people were crazy and stupid and just damn liberals. Hahaha.... Up yours you ignorant asses. This is your doing and you don't even have the backbone to continue to support the ignorant tyrant that you voted for. Spineless when it hits them in the face so blatantly. That's how the conservatives think. They seem to see the me picture and not the we or us picture. Well, maybe if they would all pull there heads out of each others asses they would be able to see the rest of the world and make sense out of things. Blah...Blah...Blah.
I think I am done blogging about that topic. It really is giving them all to much attention. But, sometimes I just tend to get off on tangent.
I think my next topic will be..."What ever happened to common courtesy?" Does it even exist? Is it a thing of the past? Or maybe it never really did exist, it was simply a figment or our imagination. Sort of a dream state the we were all in. Damn... I think this is one thing that should be taught as a requirement in all public and private schools. It seems that a lot of parents don't know how to teach this to their kids now days.

yeeehaaaaaa...one more day....

Hellooooooooo........
To all my fans out there, I enjoy and appreciate your comments. So I will use this time to respond to your commenst and let you know a few weekend option. I am still here, just been working my, even smaller, ass off. Physically or mentally taxing, a long week is a long week no matter how you look at it. I thought that people could come over this weekend and we could have another BBQ. If you would all like, this is a formal invite. A modern invite. Who needs to send things in the mail any more when you have these things. Let me know about this weekend, the boys will be here. :) Also, I told James that anyone who wants to use my truck or just drive it, it is here. He knows where all the keys are so feel free to us it for your errands.
Well, this week! A quick (maybe) over view. We are currently installing a water main which is made out of ductile iron pipe. Each pipe is 18 feet long and weighs 1260 pounds. It is installed, of course underground. We were told that they bid the job for this pipe to be put in at 400 feet a day. That is a good day. I was told that "you are going to have to haul ass, and you WILL get 400 feet a day even if you have to stay until 5 or 6". My first thought "Uhhhh okay. " I will do what I can. It will be hard for people to understand how much running around and physical work you actually do when you are putting this pipe in the ground. It is one hell of an entire body workout. Any way, first day we worked our asses off. Due to a late start because of other things we had to get gathered up, we managed to get 435 feet. YESSSSS! We did good. The next day, after 150 feet in the ground, we were told that we weren't moving fast enough and that if we were going to get our 400 feet we had better get moving and start hauling ass. That we weren't going to get it. Well, much to our satisfaction, we made 504 feet. YESSSSSSSS! We did really good! Of course today, day three, we all wanted to get at least another 504 feet. I mean you almost have to. Well, we made it up to 614. Yep, we kick ass!!!!!
When they bid the job for 400 feet a day and we get that plus some, each day, they better be F%$# happy and appreciative of how hard we worked. At about noon, the project manager called our foreman and wanted to know how much footage we had gotten up until that point. Our foreman informed him that we were just shy of 400 feet. His response "well, you're at the quota only work eight hours today." We were told that they bit this for a ten hour day. Go figure. WE HAVE BEEN BUSTIN' OUR ASSES OFF AND THEY WANT TO CUT OUR O.T. Our foreman stuck up for us and told him that, basically that is bullshit. You don't let these guys bust there asses off all day and just because they got their footage send them home. No, I don't think so. He told him that we were working until we were happy with our footage. So I told him I wanted to get 600 feet today, and we did. Ten hours. Not bad!
So, although physically and believe it our not mentally grueling, it has been a damn good week. I am looking forward to Friday night.
I want to write more, of course about my favorite person in the entire world....."THE DECIDER" but I am slowly running our of moisture in my eyes and feeling in my fingertips. So, I hope you enjoyed. Don't worry, there will be plenty more Blog from me. I love doing it.

seth

over half way through the week.....

It was another day like yesterday, ass bustin' and haulin' ass. Worn out and falling asleep. Sorry about the short blogs the past two days. I will get back to them soon.

Tuesday....almost there!

Hello all you readers. I hope you are enjoying my blogs. Both about my days and about my opinions and rants. Today was a good day at work. We met our quota for footage of pipe, and then some. As always my buddy Rey and I busted our asses and kick ass. It sure is nice to have some one else on the crew that likes to work hard with you. He actually almost makes it enjoyable to go to work. Sorry about this short blog, but we worked a twelve hour day and the two of us really did bust our asses, with only two minor injuries. One cut thumb(my foreman Mark) and one smashed thumb (yep, yours truly...me), but nothing serious. We actually got rewarded for it. I guy we all used to work with at a different company was driving home past us, and he had it in his heart to stop and get beer and put it on ice for us when we got done. What a Guy! So with all that as an excuse, I am completely brain dead and don't even feel like voicing an opinion. Thanks all!!!!

Just another maniac Monday......

Helloooooooo everyone who reads my blogs. Thanks for tuning in to the live and blogs of me. There may not be much to write about, but I do my best to blog daily. I can usually come up with some kind of babble that probably doesn't hold the attention of anyone who reads it, but hey...... I just enjoy writing.
It is amazing how many things we as individuals could vent, complain, rant, or just give our opinions about. I find it incredibly disturbing that the majority of my fellow workers are so clueless and ignorant to the world. How does one become so self absorbed that they have no clue of what the rest of the world is doing. The only thing they know is that gay marriage is bad, Democrats are to liberals, hunt to be a man, fish to be a man, and the "Only I am right..." attitude. I just don't understand this mentality. How do these guys actually go through life day by day with this ignorant mentality. Oh well, we can't change them, because..."hey, their right!"
For some reason these things just seem to make me madder then "hell!" It is actually more realistic to say that they infuriate, confuse and absolutely boggle me. How can people talk about themselves all the time. My only answer for this is that these are people who actually have a low self-esteem and don't know how to listen. They have a mouth and a self and that is it, and for some reason, there mouth is used only for themselves. Maybe I missed something somewhere in my life that would have taught me this. I know that I didn't fail any classes in school, or even come close. I guess it must have been one of the free elective classes that I forgot to take. YEAH! That must be it. I am so glad I missed that class. I am so glad I missed that portion of my life. I just don't understand them, and I hope I never do. I would like to say..."this is want makes the world go around." At one point in my life I would have said that, and I would have believed it. I know believe that this is what makes the world go DOWN!
I am sure that is enough of that topic. For the simple reason that these people don't even deserve to be blogged about... I take that back. These people NEED to be blogged about. They are the reasons that most of us, at times, don't like our jobs and don't care to associate with our coworkers. Sad...isn't it. It should be the exact opposite. But, that is only my opinion... which is what my blog is for.

Damn It!!! I got to work tomorrow...

Good Sunday morning to everyone out there...

I hope you are all having a great morning so far. I have a little bit of rambling to do, I hope it opens the eyes of everyone that reads this. That is if you don't already know me, because those who know me will understand what I am talking about.

A little good news, I have manage to take this little laptop over to my recliner chair and I think that I might get better reception with it here. The bad thing about this is that now I can sit more comfortablely and, like I am doing now, I can watch moto-x freestyle while I blog and surf.

I received a book for father's day last weekend. A book that I had never heard of, and would have probably never bought for myself even if I did see it on a shelf somewhere. Since I am not a huge reader in the first place it actually took me a day or two before I opened it up and began to read it. Let me thank my mother and father for getting it for me. I have enjoyed, or should I say, I have become very interested in what I have read so far.

The book is title "THE PROSECUTION OF GEORGE W. BUSH FOR MURDER" by Vincent Bugliosi. I recommend it to anyone who is a supporter of or voted for "The Decider" aka President Bush. For those who don't support him and never voted for him, you already know. Although I most definitely am not a Bush supporter, reading it is a disappointing reminder and an absolutely humiliating feeling to know that this individual some how became the President of The United States. It has actually infuriated me to the point that I had to wait to write because the words that I wanted to write all would've had to include symbols. Which would have made me appear to be somewhat uneducated for lack or color in my writing.

There really is no way to describe the content of this book so that you can fully understand what type of person/people that we are dealing with. Everyone needs to read this book, for knowledge and more so as a reminder for us to remember those who are serving in the "Bush's War" He has to be the most unintelligent, ignorant, , lack of reality seeing, and so far out of touch individual that has ever held not just the office of the Presidency, but the office of any political office in the history of this country. Something has to be done. He needs to be held accountable for the idiotic and moronic decision that he had made while in office. Even the prosecution for murder wouldn't be enough to make him realize what an ignoramus he is.

The things he says in times of tragedy. The things he does in the times of need. The things he doesn't say and doesn't do. Come on America what is wrong with us. He doesn't care about a single person in this entire country that is outside of is toilet bowl (circle ). Before I started reading this book one things that sticks out in my mind is in reference to the floods in the mid-west. When the flooding began, it was and still is a tragedy, it was and still is devastating. While hearing it on the news and listening to it on the radio any individual with an ounce of common sense knew it was bad. Where was our leader during all of this? Is he there to see the damage up close, to assess it, to feel it, to be there for the thousands of people who need to know that there is and will be help. NOPE! When I heard that he was going to go view it for himself, I was absolutely in shock. Why? If I recall correctly, I heard it on a Monday, a lot of the flood water had already reach their high and would, in the next few days be going down. Oh yeah! He was going on that Thursday! How convenient. In three days, as the waters begin to recede, an individual doesn't get to see the true devastation of these floods. Isn't that convenient? Every F*#@ing time there is a major tragedy in this country, how long does it take for the biggest ignoramus coward to arrives...days. I don't understand this. New Orleans? How long until he went to view the damage there? He has a way of waiting just long enough so that when he does see it, of course it won't look that bad.

What are all you people crying and whining for. This isn't nearly as devastating as you made it sound. No Shit Mr. Decider!!! Get there when it is happening, not after it has happened.

I heard him say something to the affect of... the people of.....(states)...are strong and they will come back and make it through this. What the hell! He doesn't have any clue what these people are going through, or what they will go through, nor does he really care. How long until people start admitting that this guy cares nothing about any of us. I really do feel sorry for Mr. Bush Sr. and Mrs. Bush, they have to know that there son has been a humiliation and disgrace to the title of "President."

The lack of things he has said and done in response to his war, as well as the the things he has said and done are completely uncharacteristic of any president that this country has ever witnessed, especially when you consider the state of our country.

We as a country are in no way safer, in fact I believe that we are more at risk to attacks then we ever where in the past. I would like to think the exact opposite, but I am honestly afraid to.

Through all of this I would once again like to strongly recommend "THE PROSECUTION OF GEORGE W. BUSH FOR MURDER." It will absolutely ah you.

A wonderful Saturday..........

Well, I am back with a new blog. I should with my daily blog for this Saturday. I was a good day overall. I went out for breakfast and had a very good morning with a very good friend. I loved it. I did some weeding here at the house, did some laundry, and blah blah blah......
I had a great visit with my mother and father over at there house this afternoon and this evening. My father allowed me to vent and speak my mind about work a little bit, then I got started talking about "The Decider" an individual whom if I were to speak his true name, I might get into a little trouble. I actually pulled out a Webster's Dictionary to try to find a few choice words to help me describe "The Decider." I only had to turn to one page under "I" that had approximately three words that I could use, that to me seemed to fit him perfectly. I have come to the conclusion that "The Decider" is an ignominious ignorant, and a complete ignominy to the entire country. I would prefer to send "The Decider" an email personally to help him find himself. I don't think it would work. It would never get through. I am sure it would get block by national secure or something. Oh well! At least we, the American people, still have the right of speech! Or do we? I would be nice if we had the right of write. Hey! We do, how about that.
We had a great dinner afterwards.
THANKS MOM AND DAD

LOVE YOU

Friday...........night!

It is Friday night! Not that it means anything to those of use who sit around and do nothing. Nevertheless it is the weekend. Work...similar to yesterday! I could vent and bitch about my boss, but I have already done that and it isn't going to change. So I will just simply tell you all to have a great weekend, enjoy the weather, and relax as much as possible.

Today I am going vent (bitch) about work..........

It is so pathetic! Maybe it is only in construction, but I do believe that you will find it in every business. I have yet to figure out how to be a lazy, dumb and worthless employee. I work my ass off every day. I do things that my foreman is supposed to do and I still do what I am supposed to do. All by busting my ass day after day. There are a few other people that I work with that are in the same position. They are the hardest workers and the smart ones, all in one. The problem with being smart, being able to do more than just your job, and working your ass off at all of it... you get to stay right where you are. You will continue to get the hard, back breaking work, and the complicated precise work.
I have worked for a few different foreman and I have asked them both..."why does the laziest guy on the crew get to run equipment when we need it?" (these are laborers just like me except for they are lazy pieces of shit.) My point being that the operators make more money, so the more time you get to spend on equipment the better chance you will get to be at a higher pay scale. They never respond to this. I now know why, because if they reward the hardest and smartest workers by letting them operate so they can get paid more (which they deserve) who would to all the work. Even though there are three or four other people, the work wouldn't get done.
I have become more and more pissed about this whole things. If I am that valuable doing the shit work and the hard work, then pay me more or let me doing something that will allow me to get paid more. I know ultimately it is my choice to stay or go, but you would think that these people would let you get somewhere. Not keep the hard workers on the ground busting their ass, because that is how they work. Reward them and get rid of the lazy ones. F#$% I am pissed right now about this. It absolutely makes me livid. AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!


I hope everyone out there had a great day.

Tomorrow is Friday......yiiippppppeeeeeeeee.

i want a slideshow......

I really want to put a slideshow on my blog. If any one knows how to or could help please let me know. I am at a complete lose on this one, I have managed to figure most of it out. This one is actually starting to piss me off. I'll get someday...Sorry mom, no photos yet. I did get them they are awesome, I want a slideshow to put them in.

Wednesday....AKA...Hump Day....

I hope you all made it over the hump today, and are looking forward to the next two days of the week. Be productive and keep up all the hard work, the weekend is coming. Today was a good day at WORK. Things went well and we got stuff done.

I have been thinking about "dreams" lately. How many of us have had dreams though out our lives? Dreams that are never heard...Dreams that have and never will come true... I have realized that after we reach a certain point in our lives, those dreams fade away and soon are forgotten.
"THE AMERICAN DREAM"
That's a motto? That's a slogan? For what? For who?
It has been nothing but propaganda by the government and by the those who control the government...THE RICH!!!
"the american dream"(deserves nothing more than lower case letters) has never existed in my lifetime. Or for that matter in anyone lifetime. There is no such thing! We have been so naive(sp.) as a nation. We have been persuaded to become materialistic in a nation that is corrupt and evil. There are a select few that haven't been sucked in to this. Those are the ones that
"THE LAND OF THE FREE" fear and target for whatever reason.....I don't know.
I have only heard once in my entire life a person say..."I am living my dream!" Did it last? No! It never does. It was cut short, much to my dismay.......by the evils of money.
We are all here in a land that our forefathers gave us. That was founded for the people...maybe! It may have been as corrupt then as it is now. One things is for sure, america (which in today's world doesn't deserve to be capitalized) is no longer the land of the free or the home of the brave. It is the land of the corrupt and cowardly (they are the minority, but they are the rich minority). It is the land of The rich and The poor. It is the land that no longer belongs to the people, but instead to the rich, the corrupt and controlled by the idiocracy... better known as our government.
How did so many people in a nation of millions become so blind?
I have come to the conclusion that, there is now reason to dream! Or wish! Depression is slowly become a plague in this country and to dream and wish will only lead more and more of us in to a state of it.
We must go on day by day...one second at a time...one breath after another...
Is this negative thinking? Maybe. Or is it a face to face look at where we are as a nation and what we have become?
Be happy with yourself...love yourself...and love each other...
The more we care about our family, our neighbors, and our friends, the more we will care about ourselves.
I have dreamed...I have wished... now I just live.
I am happy through all of this and I will continue to smile day after day.

thanks for the comments

I would like to thank all of you who have posted comment on my blog. It has really made this whole experience a that much more fun. I now know why and how people get addicted to their computers and spent all night on them. Good thing I get up at 3 in the morning, otherwise I would be on it all night. Thanks Again for all your comments.

only tuesday.....

Well, it's already Tuesday, only three days left until the weekend. Unless of course we work
Saturday. Today's work day actually went very well. Other then a few little mishaps.
we did good and got our shit done. My moods and spirits are improving slowly day by day.
I still do a lot of thinking, but I think that is only human. If I didn't think
about it I would just be another one of those people who doesn't care. I do care.
Thanks to you all I have been keeping busy with family and with this G.D. computer. But it sure is fun and it lets me write. Instead of on a note pad that gets stuffed somewhere when it is full. I have this to keep.
I am still trying to figure out the slideshow feature but have been unsuccessful so far. I will get it eventually. Hang with me and I will have one up some day that will show all the photos that
I have put on my blog. I hope everyone out there had a good Tuesday.

MONDAY MONDAY AH AH...........

YEAH! It's Monday and time for my daily blog. I really have nothing exciting to write about or to even tell about, but I have to stick to my daily writings. I know how easy it is to let it go and come back in a month or so and then writing about the month, but I enjoy writing daily.
I had a great weekend and the weather was damn near perfect for it. Now it is back to work for an entire week. YACK!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY......

IT WAS A GREAT FATHER'S DAY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. WE ALL GOT TOGETHER AT MY PLACE AND HAD A NICE VISIT. THE KIDS HAD LOTS OF FUN AND THE SQUIRT GUNS WERE A HUGE HIT IN THE SUN TODAY. IT WAS SO NICE TO HAVE MY BOYS HERE FOR THE WEEKEND. THEY ARE A BLAST TO BE WITH AND TALK ABOUT ENERGY...WOW DO THEY HAVE A LOT OF IT. LUKE USED THE TOILET TWICE TODAY...YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAWWW.
HE IS SLOWLY AND OCCASIONALLY USING THE TOILET. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAS WITH ME.
GOOD JOB LUKE!!!!!
WELL, I HOPE EVERYBODY OUT THERE HAD A GREAT AND SAFE FATHER'S DAY AND TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD ONE.
TO MY OWN FATHER...YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION, TO ALL OF US AND TO SO MANY MORE
LOVE YOU POPS.......

sunday...sunday...sunday...

Yep, up early again. Sundays are hard days. They are that day that a person should really sit back and relax and enjoy. The problem with people is that we can't sit and just relax on a Sunday and not some how think about tomorrow. Yeah, Monday the beginning of another work week. It's truly an evil game that your mind continues. Sunday after Sunday, as much as you are enjoying that day, your brain in telling and reminding you that tomorrow you have to work. What a cruel trick for ones brain to play, but it happens...it happens to all of us. If you claim that it hasn't happened to you, then you must not work on Monday. Which is lucky for you, whatever day you do work we all know that the day before.....yep! Your brain is playing that cruel little trick of somehow periodically sending messages through you body reminding you that tomorrow you work. You feel it through your entire body when it happens and for a few moments you actually stop what you are doing, feeling it, and thinking... "is this what it has come down to. " Your very moment of fun and pleasure has just been viciously interrupted by one small thought and five painful words that will for a moment stop us all in our track..."I have to work tomorrow" you are let down by life at that very moment. Then with in a millisecond you have forget all about it and once again you begin to breathe again, your heart starts beating again, your blood begins to flow through your veins, the music kicks back on, up go your heals, and on with your day... ON WITH YOUR SUNDAY. The feeling of working tomorrow with come back again and again throughout the day. Haunting you!!! You enjoy your last day off, but you know that it is slowly dwindling down to hours, them minutes, seconds, then before you know it........."hey, where am I? H...H...How did I get here? WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO?"

Well, the little gathering I had yesterday for Luke was a huge success. My first somewhat official gathering I have had here at the house. It was great that my buddy Dan and his daughter Jailyn were able to come down. I think everyone had a good time. The company was good, the games were good, the food was good, and the weather turned out to be descent enough to be outside.
I wish I had some new photos to post from yesterday, but since I don't have a camera and I only use my phone, it does get a little hard to get good photos. A nice little digital camera will be my next gift for myself. Then I will be able to get some good pictures of people and things and post them. Well, enjoy all and all enjoy. Sounds like we are doing it all again today. Oh DAMN IT!!!!!! I gotta work tomorrow.........

It's Saturday........YEEEEHAAAA....

DAMN IT........

I am glad you are all enjoying my blogs. Sorry to disappoint all those who have been reading my blogs...in all do respect, my lack of time on Friday prevented me from my daily entry. Yes, yesterday was my first day I didn't enter a blog. Oh well! It could worse, don't let it get to you. I hope no one is going through any withdrawals. I will make this one a little longer and less exciting just to make up for yesterday.
Yep! I got to sleep into today. I actually woke up at my regular time of 3 am and realized I didn't need to be up yet, so I slept in until 5:30. Got up had my coffee and by 6:30 was out mowing the lawn, to my satisfaction. Probably not to the neighbors, but this is America "HOME OF THE SUPER RICH, THE STUPIDLY SUPER RICH AND THE REST OF US." "The Middle Class" can only be used to refer to 4th period at your local schools or for those who are in college with a 2pm course.
Last night was Jack's (my old son of almost 7 years old) last baseball game of the season. WOW! has he improved. I don't think it has ever been so much fun to watch a baseball game. He is serious when he plays (most of the time) and he plays hard. All the kids improved a lot.
It is now almost 8 o'clock and the sun is starting to come out, wow does that change the mood of a person. to see a blue sky and no clouds. Should be a good day to have company.
The big news in my life, I got a raise through the union of a $1.78 per hour. It couldn't have come at a better time. Luke (my youngest son who just turned 3 on the 9th) is wear underwear. Diapers at night still, but underwear during the days.
Well, the day is wasting away so I had better get my ass in gear and start to something productive.

now about my day...

I have made my font a little bit smaller in response to an anonymous comment that was surprised at how big my text was on a few of my previous blogs. ( you know who you are and so do I ..... we gonna rule the world) I have no reason for using larger text, I just do it every once in a while, in my opinion I think it adds a little bit of break on the blog page.
Anyway, it was another 10 hour day at work. Which is actually nice because we are starting to get the ever desired overtime that we all hate, but love to get. As usual all the information gets directed toward me, the one with the least amount of experience, but obviously the largest I.Q. I think I found out why I get all the critical information, but it still makes no sense. If I am doing all the complicated number crunching (as we call it) and checking and double checking to make sure everything is to the gnats ass, then why am I working my ass off laboring all day and getting paid 5 dollars less an hour then my foreman who is the guy that, in his position, should be able to do and know everything that needs to be done. HMMMM....... I was told today it is because the superintendent knows I will remember the information he gives us(so he tells me, off to the side what and how to do things) and that he trusts me doing the number crunching, because he knows that my foreman won't remember and he doesn't trust him to do the numbers at all. What the F&*# ? The guys been doing this shit for 20 years.... me 2 and a half. Makes no sense. But then again maybe it isn't suppose to. Oh well!
At least I am home now and playing around with my new toy.

ENJOY THE BLOGS
I WRITE THEM DAILY

is it really Thursday.....

According to my calender, my computer, my cell phone, my watch, the television and my boss..... yep, it's Thursday. Where does the time go? The days? The weeks? The months? Or even the years?
Some how they all are related to time. Which controls our days, or week, our months and our years. Why do we need these irrelevant measurement of our existence any way. It has accord to me that is all that time is.
"An irrelevant measurement of our mere existence...."

first comment.......

Yahhhhhh hoooooooo.........

I got my first comment yesterday. WOW!!!! It was from my father's account, but had my mother's name at the bottom of it so I don't know who to thank. I will thank you both....."THANK YOU BOTH" Wow it sure feels good to write something that somebody else reads and you get a response out of it. That is wonderful.

Today was a great day at work. My foreman is a normal American (Lazy Idiot) and I got to do all the complicated number stuff once again as the guy with the least amount of experience, by years. Oh well, I just keep telling myself that sooner or later I will surpass them all, and in about a quarter of the time that they ever did it.
This is my most random entry, but deal with it sometimes we get a little scattered brained and this is how things come out.

Two nights ago I had, let me put it nicely, a shitty night. I owe a great big thank you and appreciative hug to my sisters. Who came over to comfort, distract, feed, entertain, and teach me. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you... You guys made me feel so wonderful and good.
I hope everyone is enjoying my blogs and my comments because I sure do enjoy writing them.

up and playing......

Believe me when I say that my John Mccain video had nothing to do with my nutshell blog. I was simply searching for some nuts (the walnuts in the below blog) when I just happen to stumble across, what I thought was a very clever video. The only problem I have is that it actually sounds like a speech that our current president might make.....Hmmmmmmm is Mccain really trying to distance himself from "THE DECIDER" George W. Bush. Seems to me that there is something going on here. Same speech writer...possibly! Coincidence...very likely! Or just pure 100% American......God I hope not. Maybe it's the box... we can only hope that it's made of a biodegradable substance that will eventually break down and then...just maybe then... duh!

I do realize that when I post these thing there are huge white blank spots on my page. I will figure those out. I would like to to be more full or have some kind of color in the background, any suggestion would be taken with great desire. Anyway these are all photos that mean something to me. If you know me, you know these photos. I you don't know me it may obvious that the two little ones are my wonderful boys who bring many smiles and much joy to my life and my heart. The elderly gentleman on the couch is my grandfather... a very soft spoken, kind heart, and generous man, who is resting peacefully. The other older gentleman with the tie and the beard is non-other than THE ROBERT V. BRUCE... author, historian, professor and an unbelievable influence on a lot of lives. He to is resting peacefully.

well, i got some photos on here. they are all taken via cell phone, not bad for a beginner who is having way to much fun, i am sure you all had fun when you first started playing with you computers and that is why you have continued to. well now it is my turn and here i go. i want to do a slideshow, but not sure how to yet. just one more thing for me to play around with and figure out.

good morning

Just up early as I am every morning of my life, drinking my coffee and listening to the world news. Which is actually not news at all.... just simple little tit bits of BLAH BLAH BLAH that do nothing but affect our lives every day. Unfortunately to the extent that we really do have no control of them at all. Them? Who are them you ask? Who ever you want them to be... our lives or them(a world that is controlling to the vast majority and hateful of those who won't be controlled). This is all part of keeping us with in the box.


DAMN IT PEOPLE.... THING OUTSIDE OF YOUR NUTSHELL.............

wow.....

yeah...I can now see how people can get addicted to this. it is only my second blog, but i could probably stay up all night and just keep writing. it is quite nice to be able to speak though ones finger tips and not have to waste the breathe in speaking. it is easy to express oneself through ones finger tips much easier than it is to through ones lips. it is much easier, to remain completely silent, yet communicate with the vasts never having to speak a word. it is quite wonderful.

I would have never guessed.....

If you have ever known me in the past, you would have never guessed that I would have a blog. I guess when you have never really had a computer it is pretty damn hard to have a blog, but I'm moving up and in to the wonderful world of technology.
Nothing like taken baby steps, I am jumping in with all four feet and going for it.
I am finding out that a person can fit a lot in a nutshell...obviously our nutshell are no where even close to the nutshells that the average American thinks of. Which is the problem in the first place... the nutshell. Maybe we should all start looking outside the nutshell rather than the box...hence the nutshell seems to be much bigger than the box...hence we could all get along better and maybe, just maybe something might get done.
