There has been a lot of debate lately of the depth of which fishing can save a soul...well i am here to tell you that it cant, but it sure can make the days and nights go by a lot nicer.
Yes my friend and i have been loyally fishing now twice a week for at least the last month, the current forcast calls for trout...
a lot of trout.
and the ever elusive catfish we so lovingly and enduringly go after time and agian? you may ask and i'll tell you you see this weather front coming in from the west over here? well it's going to continue to bring in cool moist air that is going to make fishing for the damned cat difficult, but i see big cats in the future...
dont worry...max we will be having fish for dinner agian real soon you have my word, and if we dont catch them... there are pleanty of these for you to work on....
Isn't it interesting the rallies and protests that befall our society to keep the GLBT part of society from marrying? the daily onslaught of televangelists who parade their righteous beliefs of hatred and unconditional love for their kind and their kind alone?
Ladies and Gentlemen enter the recent breaking news from Washington DC, the corrupt Senators and Governors, Diplomats to our society that are elected by us to uphold the very values that are set in place to help keep our DEMOCRACY SAFE...
Enter C STREET COMPOUND, WASHINGTON DC...Home to 5 to 7 our nations elected officials who refuse to give the right to marry to GLBT people in this country, who live under the delusional state that they can have mistresses and extra-marital affairs on MY DIME AND YOURS...fuck the hypocrisy in that my friends, forget it!
Please watch the following:
Now think about what you have seen, and heard...they preach to the powerful MEN only to HATE yes HATE their wives...how the fuck does that work...they equate Jesus Christ to Hitler, Osama Bin Ladin, and Lenin...UMMMMM....let me think about this for a minute...
We the people voted for these men...we put them in office to hold up the constitutional values of our country...please! Like the values of Hitler are the values the members of my family have fought and spilled their blood for? Have our loved ones and friends fought and died to defend the ideals of dictatorships and tyrannical leaderships that follow codes of conduct; that follow the suits of men who fall like dominoes when the power they so desperately seek falls away when the lattice they poorly construct crumbles beneath the weighted bastardly intentions of their own egos? These United States were built for religious freedom from oppression, I will be the last person to oppress another persons religious beliefs. If you want to follow a Third Reich Sect of Christianity, fine, as is your right to do so, but DO NOT hide behind a facade of falsehoods, and become elected on the principal of "Family Values" you do not hold to be evident in your life!
Do not lie to your constituents to become the leader you long to be. if your faith and your followings are the truth that sets your hearth and soul at ease why do you hide it in a closed society and shy away from it? if you are truly the ones who are following the Bible the way it was meant to be followed then you should be telling the world, not hiding this truth. would you send even your own families to be scarified to save yourself from the damnation of you God? Your Religion...or is it the damnation of your Group...your peers...
Yea Virginia...even Senators and Governors can succumb to peer pressure!
And still, to hate ones own family, to not befriend ones own wife, i sit here and am left to ponder this, and here i see the following, and wonder if there real truth does indeed come from the mouths of babes...
As Always My Friends... May Peace Be With You...and May the Force Be Strong In You... Angie
Blogging...ahhh the insufferable challenge we all face when trying to express our day to day life on the electronic screen.
Yes people, the one or two who ever read this blog, I am actually going to start Blogging again.
It makes one think of all the things we do in life that allow us less and less time for other things, however time is the one thing i seem to have a vast quantity of right now.
the source of such time, laves nothing to my imagination, and yet i am left to deal with the reality of it. so until i feel the time is right, i digress...
there has been a flood of things happening, birthdays births and life to live galore, and yet i have not put the proverbial pen to page for quite some time, so here is the last six months in pictures:
Many of you may remember (many of you LOL, those of you who actually read this damned thing) the "sunscreen" video i posted on here long ago in a galaxy far far away, however, i light of the birth of Ben, whom you see above, and the upcoming Births in Erika and I's families to come, i would like to share the video with you again... so here it is...
I will write more again sooner than the last time, and as always...
Hello Everyone, You all have my apologies, I have been away for a while... Erika and I have had a death on my side of our family and have had to make the trek up to WI. Please, if you believe in a higher power, if you could lift them in your thoughts, if you do not, if you could take a moment and send them a good thought. I will be back soon after working through these family situations, my many thanks to Corky and his family for their love and support, to the Lundbom family for their love and support, and of course my wonderful Fiance, with out whom i could not have gotten through the last two weeks. God Bless Everyone, Angie
This poem was written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa Japan. The following is his request. I think it is reasonable... Please!. Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this small seed.
"CARRY ON SANTA,IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."
Merry Christmas Everyone, Cherish Your Loved Ones, God Bless You Everyone Of You, Please Take a moment of Silence on Christmas with your families to say a prayer for our loved ones over seas.
"Sunday, September 21, 2008 Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Bar Competition Yet another story of why I have issues with local small town cops. I went to DJ a TGIFriday's Bar Competition a couple weeks ago in Central New Jersey(I've been sitting on this post, cause I'm obviously busy). As always I parked in the fire lane out front to unload my equipment. I parked behind the police suv that was parked on duty for the event. I locked my truck up and went inside to unload. While I was unloading and setting up my equipment, the manager came and told me that I better move my truck. At that point I looked up and saw a second cop car parked behind me with his lights on, so I said "Fine."When I went out, I walked past the 2 cops standing together and headed for my car. The older guy, stops me from going to my car and says "Is that your car?" So I said yes as I continued toward it. What I'm thinking is that they are going to tell me to move my car, so I was going to move my car. It made sense at the time.So, he yells, "Hey, I'm talking to you!" And I turn around and say, "Yeah, I said Yeah..." He immediately closes the space between us and gets pretty much nose to nose with me and starts complaining about how he didn't disrespect me, but me "saying yes over my shoulder was disrespectful to him...blah blah blah" So, I said "Sorry you took it that way"So he goes into another tyraid about how my appology doesn't mean anything to him, so I say "I'm sorry you feel THAT way..." If you know me and how I feel about this type of bully (which would include pretty much every cop I've ever met) you would know that as I say these things, I'm looking him in the eye and more conveying a vibe of "YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF" than "I'm sorry".Right about then, my friend walks around the corner to move my car for me, not knowing what was happening and the guy starts screaming at him..."You have something to say? You're eyeballing me..." My friend didn't know what to do, he tried to explain himself and then just backed away and went back inside. There is a whole crowd of people watching this asshole make a fool of himself. So we go back and forth like that for a few minutes, with him trying to both verbally and physically intimidate me and me leaning back in to his space showing him that I'm not interested in his games. And then he finally lets me go move my car.When I went back inside I passed him, the other cop and the manager of the bar talking. I'm inside for a little while and the manager comes up to me and tells me that the other officer wants to talk to me. So my immediate thought is "What now?"But I go talk to him in a quiet part of the restaurant and he APOLOGIZES for the other jerk offs behavior and encourages me to lodge a formal complaint with the station. To Be Continued...(and that concludes our broadcasy day)"
Man i still LOVE this post! It just screams follow the force...and our hero does as we wknow from a later post... A
I am a simpleton. I live a simple life. I have a few people in my life whom I cherish above all else. I love Boxers, the dogs, not the people. I can take or leave most people, however, I will go out of my way to tip a waitress who is having a bad day and still manages to keep my water glass full. I also believe shivalry is not dead, it lies dormant in the hearts of the romantics, I am one of those. I love my future wife, Erika. The sun does not revolve around her, however my world does. I have three nephews, Max, Ben, and John Wayland, I also have two nieces Grace and Lillian and I love them dearly, Keith, Allyson. Dary, and Mitchell are wonderful people who I consider my family, a part of my world revolves around them too. I am a work-aholic,(or trying to get back to being one) though I am trying to remedy this by being home more for my bride to be, and my family and friends. You can teach an old dog new tricks, simply, hand comands, a treat, and a little praise. Like I said, a simpleton, a simple life, a simple person, a simple out look, simple views of the world, simple optimisms.
