Sometimes one just has to ask...What do they put in the water that makes a lobster turn so blue?? Or better yet...is that a mood lobster?? Does it change colors based on it's emotions?? I mean...they have feelings too you know!!

A Worthy Cause
This year...I am doing something new...I am walking the Relay for Life in Florence Township on April 29th-30th at the Florence High School. Relay for Life is a fundraiser for fighting Cancer. Now of course we all know someone who has been affected by this terrible disease. My father had it. My grandfather had it. My father in law had it. My mother in law had it. Only my mother in law has beaten it. Cancer and hospital stupidity and ignorance took my father on May 7th, 1999. It will be twelve years this May that he is gone. I miss him. Just 6 months later, my grandfather passed away. In October of 2000 my father in law passed away. I am walking in their memory, and in her honor!!! I am walking for anyone else out there that has been affected in life. I am walking to help raise awareness.
You possibly have heard for Relay for Life. Donations are welcome...and I am not asking you to support me!!! Support my team if you want...we are called "Belize" In A Cure!! Support the Relay. Support the fight against Cancer!!! You have probably seen my facebook posts about the relay. There is a link there!!! Just click on it...and it will take you to my page...but you don't have to donate and support me individually...you can go to the main page and donate just because!! I am walking with my wife...and bringing my boys...I hear it's a fun time!!! And I plan to take LOTS of pictures!!! Hope you will check it out!!!

Forget You
So...Here we are...Almost Tax Day...Did ya get yours done?? I did...finally...what a bunch of unwanted stress that can be. Went with a new tax guy...see if this one finds anything more that I can get back...instead of the usual..."What bill should it go towards this time?" I mean...does anyone ever do anything different?? I hear it all the time, about these big tax breaks friends or coworkers get and I am like...what am I doing wrong?? Well...hope this time I get the answers!!
So...recently...I was the victim of some unwanted, unnecessary, bullshit, small town gossip. Yeah I know...you are just as shocked as I am...LOL I am the quiet one...HAHAHA yeah right...like there is anything I ever do that's quiet!!! Actually there are a few things that I can successfully do quietly. But like 9 times out of 10...yeah I am not the quiet one!!! Anyways, it would seem that it is true what they say...unless you are face to face with person...you never can tell if there is a tone, or a laugh...or a hint of sarcasm in dead print!!! I recently made a comment on facebook...in a message...and questioned whether a room was big enough to hold a party. Well...apparently...that is actually bashing the party.
I...DID...NOT...KNOW...THIS!!!! I wish someone would have taught me better back in high school in my English Classes!!! What the hell was I fucking thinking?? I guess I am stupid...sorry!!! Long story short...this dance involves a fundraiser for the Little League...and the past two years I have attended...it has been a fun time. This year it has a new location...and I questioned whether the new venue could hold the party. I got slammed in a response...or at least that's how I took it...(but then I thought)...One cannot understand dead print, and if sarcasm was involved...So I guessed...and said thanks for the info. Well...word got back from one person...to another...to yet another...and then to the president of the Little League...that I or my wife was bashing the party on facebook. Now she did not...so why the hell would she even be brought into this?? So...I did some digging...and the only thing I could find was...MY QUESTION!!! So...My suggestion to all of you out there...beware what you write anywhere...cause it could be taken totally out of context...and the next thing you know...your getting a phone call questioning you!!
Oh...and I also got questioned on being pissed off...or a chip on my shoulder...ya know...I can't remember honestly if I do or not...but if you have a problem with me...then why not just fucking ask me!!! Why complain to people who don't need to be concerned or bothered!!!?? Better yet...if the ploy or method behind the madness to this is to get me OUT of coaching in the Little League...then I got a suggestion for ya...just tell me you don't want me coaching any more...I may surprise ya and just say...OK!!! I am out there for the kids...to teach them the basics and fundamentals...and above all else...to teach them that it's a game...and games are supposed to be fun!!! If your kid is not having fun...then I am doing something wrong!!!
So...Is it just me...or are there a lot more assholes out on the road who think they own the road...and don't give a damn about anyone else on the road?? I got cut off 4 times yesterday in my travels to and from work...on 295...and I have some tips for you asshole drivers. For starters...how bout you start using that fucking turn signal. It ain't out there as a fucking decoration on your car. It's supposed to come on to tell people that you are changing lanes...is it that hard assholes?? I don't think so!!! And turning it on as you make your lane change inches away from my car to get in front of me...DOES NOT FUCKING COUNT!!! If you can't use the turn signal properly...then you need to go back to driving school!!!
Secondly...why must you feel the need to switch lanes and cut people off...by squeezing into a space that your car shouldn't fit in?? Are you special?? Are you someone important?? Do you own the road?? Do you make the rules?? Since the answer is most likely none of the above...just stay in your own fucking lane...and get over yourself...and stop cutting people off!!! Ya stupid Jack-Wagon!!!
Hey Government...thanks for coming to a solution to avoid the shutdown at the last possible minute!!! I appreciated the threat of me being put on furlough because you dumbasses can't agree on the budget...and figure out how to rip us off for more money!!! Seriously...what was the hold up?? Did you have to figure out your proper raises?? Ya know what...it doesn't matter...I am thankful I have a job...and thankful I was able to go back to work!!
Well...I should have finished this before lunch...I had a lot more anger in me!!! Now I am calm...now where do I go from here?? For now I will bid farewell...to collect my thoughts...and maybe blog twice in one day!!! LOL

What's Up??
What's up everyone?? How are ya?? How are things?? How goes it?? How is life?? Mine is going semi-smoothly...just trying to take it one day at a time...it's the only way to go right?? Well...I have some random thoughts going on in my head...as usual...thought I would share one of them in particular...so buckle up and enjoy the ride!!!
Well...it's that time of year...time for the exercise levels to go up...the health levels to increase...and the blood, sweat, and tears to be spilled as it's time to kick this pig I call weight loss!!! Last year was a rough one for me...and the simple answer...is because I got lazy!!! It's the only thing I can say!!! I worked so hard...did all that I could...I got my weight down from 251 pounds to 215 pounds!!! To me that is impressive. That is where I was by last May...but then is when it happened...that's when I got lazy!! I stopped focusing on exercise...and enjoyed my low weight for a while...but I was eating...and not exercising...so you can guess what happened. I GAINED...BIG SURPRISE...no pun intended!!! I got back up to 235 by mid October...and I was like...HELLO???!!!! WAKE UP...TIME TO WORK OUT AGAIN!!!
Only I didn't...and then Thanksgiving happened...and then Christmas and New Years happened!!! I am now up to 246. It sucks!!! I hate this feeling...what the hell did I do?? Why did I let this happen?? Was being lazy that important?? So...after talking with some friends...I posted a facebook request...Who wants to do a Biggest Loser contest?? Someone else has to be out there and wants to lose right?? Can't just be me alone!! Well...I was right. My wife, an old High School friend, and 7 more close friends decided to join me and do this contest!!! We all discussed the rules. We went with teams. So we got 5 teams...we have penalties...and the winning team is the pair with the biggest weight loss percentage. But in reality...we all win. We win better versions of us...that have worked hard...lost weight...and feeling great!!! The girls want bikini bodies...the guys wanna not have to suck it in...or whatever the reason...with hard work, dedication, and support from everyone in the group it should be a great time for all!!!
We did initial weigh-ins last week at my house...as agreed. And the 1st weigh in is tomorrow. I am excited...and yet nervous at the same time. Maybe even a little scared!!! I am eating better...and I am exercising!!! My wife and I are on different teams...yet we still try to motivate each other!!! We are both exercising using the Wii...doing EA Active 2...and that game ain't no joke!!! It ain't a game...its an exercise punisher!!! Feeling the burn every time!!! But that's not all...for the whole family we got memberships to the local YMCA...and we are exercising there too!!! It's fun!!! Our boys both love to go there and swim and have fun!!! It's great!!! I am hoping we all get into a lot better shape because of this!!
We are doing a 12-week competition...it's great for all of us...and it ends on the Thursday before Mother's Day weekend!!! In fact the day it ends on is Cinco De Mayo!!! Could be a good drinking day...LOL Who knows...maybe after a week or two break from this competition...we will do it again...and it could get bigger and possibly better than it is now!!! Well...keep your fingers crossed!!! I hope to lose as much as I can in the 12 weeks...and I will keep going till I feel more comfy with myself again!!!
Until next time...
