A good day

Well, even though my Boys lost Sunday, it was one of the best days I have had in a long time. I woke up and played with my dogs for a while. Cleaned up the house a little bit and then headed out for the day. I planned on spending the day at my parents house to eat lunch and watch the Cowboys game, but I needed to pick up a few things first. I recently realized that I had no idea where my football went, so I got a new one, and a 6 pack of beer ( non-alcoholic since dad doesn't drink) and headed to the house. There was something supremely relaxing about getting together with my family for Sunday lunch. It reminded me a lot of high school. Then my little brother and I threw the football and had a chat until he left for evening church. Dad and I spent the afternoon cheering on our team and had a great time just hanging out. One thing that cool about growing up with a dad you look up to, is that as you get older you replace the concept of your father being a super hero with the respect of understanding that he is a hero in a more practical way. I am nearly 26 and I completely understand that my dad can't fly, stop bullets with his mind, or run as fast as a train. However, I have learned through a lot of priceless conversations and observation that my dad can boost the spirits of his wife and kids, work day in and day out at a job that doesn't appreciate his value to the company just to ensure that his family is taken care of, and after working four 12 hour days consecutively, get up Sunday morning and lead his family to church. My dad is also the kind of hero that will spend an entire Sunday afternoon, watching a football team loose because he knows his son needs a break from the stress. It may not be as flashy as stopping bullets or flying, but I will take my practical hero dad over Superman any day of the week. Also, my dad doesn't wear super gay tights like superheros. That's good.

I hope everybody else had a good weekend. This weekend I will be in Conroe with my wife and a bunch of our friends hanging out at the lake. Much love to you all.

Cowboys and the coming of cool weather

2 of my absolute favorite things! I am excited to say that tomorrow I have the day off and I will get to watch Dallas play the Washington Redskins...and beat them. I know I know! The Cowboys have a history of not being able to handle Moss, but get what...it's the Boy's time to shine, and shine they will. I pretty excited, and even if they lose, I love watching the game and hanging out with friends and/or family. And also, throwing the football during halftime and eating good food.

Speaking of throwing the football, I thought I would start listing things that people could purchase me for my birthday or Christmas or house warming or Tuesdays or whatever occasion they may choose. So, with out further delay...here's the start of the wish list.
-Official NFL Pigskin Football
-Enamelled Cast iron Dutch Oven
-Books that you have enjoyed
-Dallas Cowboys tickets
-A trip to see Paleduro Canyon
-42inch Vizio Plasma TV
-Art work that you created (sculptures,paintings,drawings,short stories,etc.)
-12 Gauge shotgun
-New fishing rod and reel
-Disk golf Set
-New Cellphone
-Stained Glass for the new house

There's a alot of other things, but I thought I'd just list a few to getcha thinkin. Anyway, no one commented on my last post...so I don't like that...I want lots of comments. Got it?

the new one

so a lot has been changing in my life lately and I wanted to write about it so people could read it and keep up, but xanga is dead and myspace is lame...so...here I am.

I am just gonna like list all the things that have changed for me lately. I got married in May and I absolutely love being married. My wife and I were given three weeks notice to get out of the house we were renting because it has a faulty foundation and is slowing falling apart. We searching like crazy people for a place to live and ended up having a house built. In the mean time we had to move all of our belongings from our house to both of our families houses for the few months it will take for our new home to be built. Additionally, we are living at Kim's parents' house until we can move into our house. I am taking some time away from performing with Color and Light to re-evaluate how committed I can be to the band. That in and of itself is a huge change for me. Work is crazy busy and full of drama and I am currently looking for a new job. I would love to work in construction or home remodeling, but we'll see what happens. I am the best man in my brothers wedding, which is next Sunday and I am trying to do everything I can to make that go as smoothly as possible.

Man, that's kinda stressful just to read, but I have a great life and I am not gonna whine when things get crazy for a while.

I am extremely excited about some things that are going on, or will soon be going on. First of all, I am about as happy as a person can be that it is football season and the Dallas Cowboys are an amazing team. With the addition of Felix Jones to their ground attack and the fact that the current coach seems to be able to work with T.O. in a way that inspires him to play to the best of his ability. I am also beyond ready for it to be fall and drop below 90 degrees for a change. I HATE hot weather, but I still love Texas.

I guess that's all I have to say this time. I really hope people comment on this blog, because when there are no comments...I usually abandon the blog. Sorry Xanga...we had a good run.
