Bend it Like Who?

To protect her idenity, Jane Doe managed to hustle $100 from me.

On our recent trip to California to visit Auntie Posh and Uncle David, we were out for a walk with some friends. An idea came up and soon a wager of $100 was made for the first person to complete the feat. I cut out the part where I embarassed myself.
Here is the better attempts

Soccer Donut Stunt

Back in the Saddle AGAIN!!!

(The old song by Gene Autry, remade by Aerosmith is playing in the back ground as I am getting ready for my game)

After 8 long months of the pitch due to a minor knee injury ( Another proven fact that blondes dont belong playing soccer...lol) I decided to once again lace up the boots, cinch the gloves on and take the field. This time in a more skillful leage than before. The fist game back went well, the knee still needs some work. I think I need to worry about getting in better playing shape then worry about the knee after. Wait...maybe its the extra 30lbs I gained by being inactive.....Does Jenny Craig help overweight soccer players???

Joke of The Day

A blonde gets a job as a teacher.

Watching the kids play she notices a boy in the field stood by himself while all the other kids are running around having fun with a ball.

She takes pity on him and decides to speak to him.

"Are you ok?" she says

"Yes" he replied.

"You do know that you can go and play with the other kids", she says.

"Its best I stay here" he said.

"But why?" says the blonde.

The boys says "Because I'm the goalie"

How I spent My 4th of July Weekend!!!

I thought I had seen it all. Growing up in the city and all. This weekend I was invited to take in 4th of July festivies in a rural Wyoming town. Yes, the parade are shorter, the festivities different. It was a good culture learning experience.
Here are some of my observations; I hope you find them as amusing as I did.

1. Most floats in the parade consisted of A) A 4x4 truck pulling a trailer or B) A 18 wheeler.
2. The "floats" that consisted of a trailer were decorated in country decor...sagebrush or tumbleweed. Quite the opposite from parades of past in the city with elaborate decorated floats with bright colored paper designs, etc...
3. Maybe half way thru the parade there is a "float" serving beer on tap to all willing parade viewers of age. Yes, Jordan didn’t understand why they would give him some bubbly apple juice.

All in all it was a good experience with the best fireworks display ever. It looked like a clip from a war movie, with Bombs over Bagdad by Outkast playing in the background.

Picture to follow once I find the digital camera.

Dad's Food SUCKS!!!

I have never claimed to be a cook like Merial or Wolfgang Puck. I do however strive to cook edible meals for my family. After a recent dinner, I think I need to hire a chef or switch to frozen dinners. Lil Carter informed me that my meals were crap and he would find something better to eat. See picture below.

A Proud Moment for a Father

My boys know how to keep me happy. At a recent session of Jordan's Soccer School the parents were invited to come join the kids on the field. Deidra was manning the camera so took the field. I was shocked to see the lil one following me out. To have both of my boys interested in soccer and becoming professional soccer players was more than I could handle. My boys want to be able to provide the best for me in my Golden Years. Watch out Brooklyn and Cruz....Jordan and Carter are ready to take the pitch with you.

Sacrifice...What does it really mean?

How you define the word Sacrifice? I search a few dictionaries to come up with the best definition. Sacrifice is defined as “to give of oneself or one's interest for others, do go without or give up something to benefit others".

A friend shared a story that they heard recently of a parent that was unsure if they would have a birthday party for one of their children. Money was tight, the government check was not expected for a few more weeks, but there was money in the "rainy day fund". Was it necessary to withdraw money from the fund? What does one do when given such a difficult decision? For me it’s a no brainer, give the child a well deserved party. Hell....the kid deserves surviving another year is this life. Sacrifice, do what you need to do to have a party. No need to make it glamorous or invite the whole neighborhood. Just something simple. Why would a parent struggle with spending their "rainy day funds" to provide enjoyment and celebration for their child? Greed? Selfishness? Ignorance?

I will step down on my soapbox. Thanks for listening to be vent and get a troubling situation off my chest. GOD BLESS!!!
