If I wasnt already taken, I would have volunteered for this experiment. I came across this article a few weeks back and forgot to post it.

When Selling Pills to Humans isnt Enough?

I had a friend show me a story about a new development in the pharmaceutical market. It appears that the wonderful folks at Pfizer Labs (aka legal drug pushers) have developed the world's first diet pill FOR DOGS! The below site shows dogs just like they'd show people on diet products!

The Summer of Fun

I dont know what it is with the summer season, but it seems that its a good time of the year for children to grow and change.

Jordan is the BIG MAN on campus as he started pre-school last month. He has already manage to make some friends and form his own Rat Pack. Lucky for us, he has behaved and managed to stay out of trouble. I guess he is waiting to save the best for when he is in Elementry.

Carter "C Note", has manage to create a name for himself. Borrowing from Patrick vs Braden battle when the much smaller Braden showed Patrick who owned the Mini basketball court. For those that are not familar with this epic battle (I will spare you the details), Braden sent Patrick to the ER with a cracked skull due to a golf club (3 Wood) to the cabasa. One night after Carter had enough of Jordan's harrassment, he waited patiently until Jordan was close by and BAM!!! a smack on the head with a hammer. No ER visit this time since it was just a plastic play hammer, put Jordan thinks twice before he messes will the Lil One.

Below of current pictures of the boys....Enjoy

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"

Check This Out!!!

I am the one in the Red shirt.

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.
