Hello my friends. Nice to sit and chat a while. Pull up a chair - we have much to discuss. I haven't spoken to you in quite some time, and I apologize for that, but that is why I do this blog. For my own therapy. I have been asked "Why don't you try writing for the newspaper?" I have three kids, two jobs, one wife and very little time to make deadlines. This is my therapy. The good thing is I don't have to submit this to medical insurance because I don't get charged to do this.
I have written on a myriad of subjects in the past. Some were quasi-serious. Some were borderline ridiculous. At the time, they all were things I felt like I needed to get off of my chest. I did an "interview" with a friend of mine for an entry - which I thought was a cool idea. The thing is sometimes even when you want to write something, the well runs dry.
I could use this as a forum to rant about things, and I would be OK with that, but you have to know where your bread is buttered. Every entry I write I link to my Facebook page so that people can find it and enjoy it. I'm not going to rant about work when some of my co-workers will see it and possibly misconstrue who I reference, because I don't name names, unless it's in praise.
I have written in the past about my children - probably to the point of nausea. Not to me - I don't really get sick of writing about them because three children at ages 15, 11, and 8 provide enough material to write another badly acted obnoxious Disney Channel of Nickelodeon show. The thing is, my kids are cool. Do they drive me up a wall sometimes? Of course...they're kids. Do they make me proud beyond belief? Absolutely.
I could write about the daily excitement of living with my wife - who I love to death. Do we argue? Of course we do - we're married. We're individuals. We have two completely different backgrounds. We each have our own beliefs on how to do things - sometimes they are the same, sometimes they're not even close. Am I going to use this to complain how I do things differntly than she does? The woman knows where I sleep. She also knows where the kitchen knives are. No, I shant be railing against my wife just for the sake of a laugh here and there. I do still think used milk is a stupid concept though...(had to get that in there!)
My friends, I encourage you - go back and read some of the prior entries. Which entries have you enjoyed? The interview? The stories of newsworthy items? The stories of my family? I am completely open to suggestion. If you are interested in being interviewed for an entry, let me know - I'll send you a list of questions.
I hope everyone enjoyed their summer - I know I did. I actually have a Disney trip under my belt now, but nothing crazy happened on that - at least nothing blog-worthy that I can recall.
So until we talk again, I leave you with this advice....don't let your meat loaf.
