Please.
Stared at my wifes face for the entire duration of the phone call with mother last night as she told us her brother has lung cancer that has spread throughout his brain. So sad. Such a gentle man. Jennifer’s face is all that got me thru it. And someday we will call our kids cause we’ll be sick and dying. But all I need is her face. Forever. Please don’t ever take that...

Pet Peeve: Repeating Numbers
If you ask my phone/social/account number on the phone and then repeatedly interupt me saying something like “ok” while I’m giving what you asked for and then ask me to repeat the numbers you just talked over… Uh, yeah Nice Jude goes away so don’t do that.

Here's the thing...: O Kansas. →
aimee-b-loved: So, I was watching Flock of Dodos - a documentary on the teaching of evolution vs intelligent design in public schools debate - and feeling pretty down about Kansas. It’s pretty rough on our school board (and rightfully so, I think). And it made me sad. I’m a Kansan. I was born here. I was raised…

Put in two white tea packets in my water bottle, fill with water, shake and somethings way off. Hot water. Now the tea inside my water bottle looks like piss and FEELS like piss. Bottoms up.

Watch Me Run
Sometimes when I think I saw something move out of the corner of my eye, I stare at it forever to make sure its not those demon shadows from Ghost coming to get me. Then I fucking turn on every light so there’s no shadows as I run my ass up outa there.

If it isn't broke.... →
ryangigous: A friend pointed this out to me today. My first thought was why now? At the end of the piece it states, “Through the revolution in the industry, advocates of the bill said, about half the state’s liquor stores would close” So, what is the reason why we want to kill so many jobs? Again, why do we want to change existing policy? What is the benefit for the people? Given the economic...

Potty Training
Me to 19 month old: “do you have to Potty?” She smiles, goes to her potty chair, sits, hears the intro to Elmo, runs to the TV and pisses down her leg. Note to self: mute TV during training sessions, subject easily distracted.

KARL: The Beard Rules →
karlfundenberger: I am not saying that some specific beard rules, I am actually stating some rules about beards, or maybe I should just say rough outlines, not necessarily official regulations. Hey let’s get to it: I can’t understand why everyone in their 20s have beards these days. You don’t get to have a beard…

This Is Why
This is why we can have nice things but I can’t DO anything with my fammily or friends. My train was pushed back from 1am to 4am and now it’s 11am, maybe? They pay me as I sit in a hotel room hotel room and miss everything. On top of not feeling well, Jen hurt herself yesterday and needed a break from the babies. Tadhg rolled over for the first time on his own yesterday. Then...

Remember This Post If They Find Me Dead
According to Wii Fit I’m overweight but have the agility of a 29 yr old. Jennifer, because what they say is true about a woman in her mid thirties, has the libido of a teenage jack rabbit. This prolly explains the agility part but I think she’s trying to kill me.

A Huge Anonymous Compliment
Someone plowed our driveway this morning. Not shoveled. Not with a snowblower. With a machine or truck. You can tell by the fact that they didn’t get right up to the garage doors and that they also moved the snow wall the street plows erected in front of our drive in case we are invaded. My jeep could get over that wall but jens car couldn’t. None of the neighbors houses were...

... You Are The Father
We have a full family. We have an 8 seater Chevy Traverse in which every seat is taken. We can’t fit anymore kids. But. I can’t get snipped. I just can’t. It would greatly reduce my hopes of having to be on Maury. In which after hearing the results (either way) I can run a short distance and throw myself into a face plant on the floor. Letting go of that dream is...

My MLK
I’m deadheading on Amtrak from KC to Galesburg and doing my best to honor a great man and his beliefs. But it ain’t easy. As we were begining to board I bumped this white lady’s suitcase and she looked back at it, then at me, then at the men standing around me. The men with me, fellow railroaders are all good men that happen to not be white. She then continued to look back at...

Don’t jump in front of my train. I’ll squish you. And next time don’t sing about either. We already learned earlier this week what a careless suggestion can result in. 19 shot, 6 dead.
