The 50's

I am sure it will be hard for some of you to grasp that there was a better time in America than the present, and that small minded me would know or envy anything that is a few decades behind myself. believe it or not there was a time when we as Americans were a proud country; not this mess of a country we have now. I think we ALL need to look back at what we call the greatest generation in order to move forward. What happened to buy American and taking pride in our products that we produced? Also what happened to standing up for ourselves and not worrying about being politically correct? If we look at the 1950's men were men and proud of it and women stood by there men; children obeyed there parents everyone had a job if they wanted it and hodgie wasn't flying planes into our skyscrapers. Flash forward 40 years and we have a society that thinks hard work is something done by Mexicans, divorce rates are skyrocketing and the entire country is fucking jobless and broke.



You tell me did we create our own problems????

What A Ride Life Is.....

So after a year and a half of the unemployed life I am taking Obama's advice and headed to school this fall. ( I never thought I would utter those words again ) Yes friends I am going out to Kirtland this fall and enrolling in the criminal justice program to be a cop of all things. Anne and I are going to be study partners ( How gay is that?? ) She is enrolled in the surg tech program and really stoked to get the whole school thing under way. We have both decided that we will keep you updated on the status of school every second of the day via Facebook because it seems like the thing to do these days.

On a not so serious note here is some of the happenings from the last few weeks.

1. We attended a strip club for the first time together ( well kinda ) needless to say it was an interesting night.

2. Anne learned what snailing the pole really meant. ( same night as the strip club )

3. DRAMA has reared its ugly head again.

4. I have spent a lot of time this summer fixxing boats that are not mine and have not had the chance to even go out on any of them.

5. I have decided that along with school I am going to dabble in politics a little bit and run for Grayling city council.

6. Hannah is ten going on twenty five and I can't handle it.

7. I am still unemployed and the economy is "getting better" so I'm told

Things That Are Pissing Me Off

1. Unthoughtful family members and there selfish needs. ( um.... last time I checked the world revolves around no one )

2. Random dude that thinks he's kinda a big fucking deal. ( NOT )

3. People having a opinion on my unemployment status. ( it's not like I don't want a fucking job and I enjoy being flat fucking broke all the time )

4. The fact the some people think that it's ok to do and do for them. And then be nowhere around when you need or want some help from them. ( see item #1 again )

5. Politicians and there BULLSHIT. ( It would be nice for just once that our public servants be held liable for there actions. We pay these people a lot of money in the form of taxes to make some of the most FUCKED UP decisions on earth while we all smile and take it. )

6. OBAMA ( get the hell off my TV every one is sick of seeing you on every channel. your day has come and gone do your job and fix this country or get the FUCK out. )

7. Two faced people ( you no who you are...... so please don't read this with that stupid look on your faces and ask yourself is he talking about me. DUH )

8. MONEY ( it is the root of all evil and problems...... no one is pissed cuz they have too much money but everyone gets pissy when there is no money. )

9. Random Dudes pic being plastered allover facebook.

10. Being almost 30 and living at my parents house

Marriage

After twelve years of being together and eight years of marriage I am at a loss. I have pushed the only person to have stood by my side for the last twelve years out the door. Why...... because I have the asshole gene that I can't seem to outgrow. It is extremely hard for me to articulate when I'm pissed off about something and with the "asshole gene" it turns into world war three because I say shit that I don't mean and that is highly inappropriate at the time. That combined with a woman's emotions is a recipe for disaster. So here I sit alone one week to the day from my eighth wedding anniversary with no wife and divorce on the horizon. I am not sure who said it but I read a quote somewhere that said " The tongue is the most destructive weapon on earth" whoever that person he/she is oh so right. It's funny how you can be so complacent in life that you miss it crumbling down around you. Let me tell you about irony it is the fact that I am a mechanic and can fix anything and keep it running but when it comes to my relationship its like a car in the junkyard that will be parted out till there is nothing left but the framework and it will be crushed and melted down to make a new car. I don't ever regret much or spend a lot of time living in the past but I am positive I will regret this the rest of my life.

Friendship

Friendship is a two lane road and can only be successful if there is traffic flow in both directions. With this profound bit of information you can establish some of the best friendships you will ever have and you can also destroy some of the best friendships you will have ever had. If you opt to put up a bunch of orange barriers and preform road construction for several months then it is bound to strain a friendship which is fine if you take down the barrels and have a fresh smooth road to travel back and forth on. But when you choose to leave the barrels up for an extended amount of time and not finish you project or make it worse by closing the road completely then you end up with one less friend. But the most important thing to remember is to not have any one way roads because they do not function as well as a two way road. It is extremely disheartening to be the only one traveling down the road of friendship. It is also unnecessary for you not to travel those roads because you don't like where some of the other roads lead. I mean no one is forcing you to drive down those roads, just travel my road once in awhile. A friendship can last a lifetime with proper maintenance and care and as with all roads you are bound to have a few bumps and imperfections. But you leave those bumps unrepaired then you end up with Michigan sized potholes that can not be repaired without closing the road for awhile. And it is also ok for your road to change direction a little bit it does not mean that its a different road just a different view along the road.

SEX

So let me ask you how important is sex to you?? To me its one of the most important things in a relationship besides the standard of good health and trust and respect of one another. But more what has me baffled is the fact that some people can have a addiction to it while others can be so annoyed by it. My opinion is that there is nothing better than a sweaty hot sack session and recover to do it all over again. But others have the opinion that sex has to be a scheduled event with rules and guidelines and lets not forget the list of excuses that go with that to try and weasel outta that scheduled sex session. I have found that women use the power of sex over men because women have something men don't...... "SELF CONTROL" we will cave in to almost any request at the slightest hint that we may get laid and women take full advantage of that situation. So all of this ranting has made me ask this one question. If you can treat cancer and land a man on the moon why can't there be a female VIAGRA and why has know one thought of that yet?? and the answer folks is because somewhere out there there is a male scientist with a wife that has used the power of the poon to keep him from developing that magic pill that would make the whole world a happier place. I mean if every one was having hot porn star sex they wouldn't be angry and hostile with one another. So to achieve world peace........ SEX is all you need.

Long Weekend

So this last weekend has been a very long weekend. In a Prozac induced blur I told Hannah that she could have a sleepover on Saturday night which under normal circumstances would have been fine. Little did I know that my weekend was about to get hectic. Anne left for her girls weekend on Friday afternoon after I got her all packed up and at 10:00pm that night I get the phone call that would change the weekend it went like this.... My Dad " hey you need to get to Gaylord Anne is at the ER there she fell in the fire" Me " OK " . So i have a thirty minute ride to flash through all the worst case scenieros that I've seen and heard about so by the time I get to the hospital I am a useless wreck that can't stop puking so thank god for my mom being there to be supportive for Anne. But after they pumped her full of good drugs to ease the pain we arrived home about 3:00am Saturday morning.

So Saturday I decide its not Hannah's fault Anne got hurt so we move forward with the sleepover and I set the tent up and get all the food ready with a little help from my Dad and even let Abby have a friend come over to and camp out. So about 3:30 all the kiddies arrive and do the swimming thing and things seem to be going well till about dinner time when all hell breaks loose again. Anne has woken up from the drug coma and is ready to eat and change her dressings Emily decides its time to start getting ready right at that moment for her girl scout sleepover and I have five other girls that would like to roast hot dogs over a bonfire. After all that was done the the question of smores came about and I had to run Emily and her high strung friend out to a sleepover. Needless to say Saturday was a long day and I couldn't wait for Fathers day to just relax.

Boy was I wrong screaming kids, sick wife and another trip to the ER here in Grayling along with my Dad and I having to cook our own dinner cuz Marshmallow girl has a bum hand and my mother could burn water and as for my girls.....well that's about all I can say there. At about 10:30pm the kids did pull a gift outta there ass and give it to me which was thoughtful don't get me wrong just a little tired at that point and we had desert and went to bed. Oh and in the midst of all this excitement my Brother and Nephew show up yesterday and stay the night and my 20 year old Sister calls to tell my parents that her and her 40 year old boyfriend of 2 months are getting married.
