Slow day
Hi all, i am currently at work, and man is it slow! My day started off in a panic, I woke up 2 hours later than I usually do, new medicine I took last night, so i had to skip the shower, and got to work about 30 minutes late, but no worries, we are very slow. Plus, I have a great boss. He not only puts up with my crap occasionally, but he is very understanding that crap happens sometimes. Anyway, i got here and started trying to find things to do.
This economy we are currently a part of is in pretty bad shape, although it could be worse. I have already caught up on the forums I visit, and have practiced some palming techniques with both a card and coin. So I then decided to add to my blog I started last night on a whim. I still don't know what to think of this blog, I mean the only people that will read this are ones that are directed to it, and even then they are probably trying to get a peek into the freakshow that is my life. LOL. I have listened to several shows of "This American Life" today, and about 3 hours of Radio Tiki on itunes eclectic stream.
I still have a couple of gifts to get my bride for Christmas, my daughter is taken care of, and between both sets of grandparents and us, she shouldn't want a thing for about 16 years! We all love her a ton and as such, we all tend to spoil her in our own ways. She has such a wonderful personality, and she makes me so proud to be a father.
I try and be the best i can to her, but I have to admit, I sometimes doubt myself. If I can be half as good a father as my dad was to me, that will be a success to me. My father was and is the best, in my mind. I know his perception and my perception of back then are different from some of the comments he has made. When I remember him as a father when I was little, I remember a hard working man who did what it took, and when he had the spare time from work he spent it with us. I can honestly say, I can't remember a time when my sister and I wanted to spend time with him, and he tell us no. He always had time for us, and taught us great lessons about life, love, and being an honorable person. He is my Idol, Role Model and Hero. I will share more about him later.
My Mom is great also, she was the perfect mom, she always had crafts for us to make, took us to matinees in the summer, and made the best snacks. As a family we would go camping a lot, and I loved that, especially when our neighbors went with us. Jim, Ilona, Tina and Scott, man did we all have fun together, they were like my second family. Mom and Ilona were like sisters almost. Sometimes, I wish I could go back to childhood, but that will never happen. So I just act chilish everynow and then, and that is one thing I think my daughter loves about me, I am not afraid to get on her level and play.
Finally, my sister, whom I love so dearly, as children, I was occasionally a pest as big brothers generally are, which I do wish I could change at times. I just hope she understands that I only aggravated her bacase I love her. She makes me so proud to see her now, happily married to a great guy, finally. Her first husband was not so nice, that's all I'll say about that. Her new husband seems to fit her perfectly, and he fits into our family like he has always been there, it is great. I really enjoy talking to him, and doing things like, watching football, talk politics, etc. Did I mention he's a Marine? He is, and it just impresses the heck out of me. I know it sounds kinda silly, but isn't this what a blog is about. I believe they will be together 'till death, and that makes me happy.
I will just fill in some stories and info on other relatives later, maybe try and make somethings sound more interesting, like chasing my sister with a pizza cutter..............getting my fingers trapped in a closed and locked door, as a result of chasing my sister, and stories of the infamous Sam and Bethoven. Till next time, be good.
