OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"When I was born, I was so surprised I couldn't talk for a year and a half."

Gracie Allen July 26, 1895 – August 27, 1964
An American comedian who became internationally famous as the zany partner and comic foil of husband George Burns.


Well every once in a while I get some kind of news that makes me smile. This time it comes in the form of an e-mail...or a set of e-mails. One of the memebers of The Estrogen Clan of the Northwoods (my up until this moment mental name for "The Girls") aka my wife and her 6 best friends from grade school/high school, sent an e-mail out which was then forwarded to me. Well, after that similar stories started coming forth and I found it too funny not to post. So here you go...in order as to how I recieved them...

E-mail 1

So, I just wanted to let everyone know that according to Mac, after I told her to take a time out, she moved her little three year old body to the stairs and emphatically screamed

"You're ruining my life!"

(Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt? Did she say what I think she said?????)

I have no idea where that one came from...!!!!! Isn't it funny that this kid o' mine can't pronounce the word, "cat"- but....she can hollar out "You're ruining my life"?

I just thought this might make everyone's day....have a good one....

And...if you're as good a parent as I am...maybe YOU, TOO can ruin someone's life!!!!Ha!

FYI, after Dave came home....yadayada....Dave's ruined her life,too! (equal opportunity!)


E-mail 2

Our dinner conversation tonight was Grant asking about the middle finger. Aparently it was the topic of conversation in 1st grade today and what does each finger mean. I informed Grant that if the teacher called home about him using any of his fingers besides his thumb's up he would be in trouble.

I then had a conversation with another mom straight outof The Christmas Story movie about kids learning that word and she might want to talk to her kids too, but I was not surewhere it started.


E-Mail 3

I can also tell you its very disconcerting when you own 10 year old child refers to his testicles as "man berries"!
I promise you he did not learn that from me!!!!!:0)


E-Mail 4

Well, Ian turned 5 yesterday...he told me that his daycare provider is a "pain in the ass" (which she is) and that one ofhis friends parents was "being an idiot" (which she was)...

I agreed but told him not to say that about others; he agreed that now that he's 5 he won't say mean things about others, just ignore them and their dumb behavior (I couldn't argue with that)...

his vocab also consists of "inconceivable", "concern" (instead of worry), infamous (which he doesn't want to be...hewould rather be famous), "infuriating", "intoxicating" (his girlfriend, Emily, is this)...

argh!!!! I have got to stop readingto this child!!!!!! ha ha

Still, he does call his testicles his testicles, but there are a lot of other things that he definitely learned from me that could be ranked right up there with "man berries'!

Oh, we don't "ruin his life", but we "anger him" where he "just can't tolerate us" anymore. Ian did flip us off at a restaurant one night in front of our pastor and his family. We explained it was bad...

he learned it from an older boy at daycare...

always a joy!


E-mail 5

Thanks for the laughs, you crazy mommies!

Xavier is being silly, too. His favorite responses to requests from Mom & Dad that he is not wild about are as follows:

I don't think so.

I'm not quite ready.

I'm too busy.

And the last two - accompanied with his toy cell phone as a prop:

Please don't interrupt me, I'm on my cell phone.

Shhh! Be quiet - I'm on a business call.

Dad and Mom apparently are spending too much time on the cell phones.
whoops!

Thankfully, he hasn't learned any terms for the male anatomy except for the medical terms - I know that will be a coffee through the nose kind of funny when it happens!


and that my friends is what my wife shares with me on a daily basis. I am such a lucky man.

IT'S BEEN A YEAR

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

So many ways to say, "I love you",
never enough to say how much.

Cameron Rand


Today is the third happiest day of my life. The first happened 2 years ago, when we admitted to each other how much we needed and loved each other. The second was a year ago, when we became man and wife. And now this, today is my first wedding anniversary. It's something I have always wanted to say, I just never thought I would be able to, and now I can't seem to stop saying it. I love my life. I love my wife. I love my life with my wife.

That's all. Be back later. I need to be with that special someone who enriches everyday of my existence. I need to be with my best friend, my partner, my lover and who also happens to be my wife. I love you sweetheart. One down, forever more to go.

4/25/2007

SORRY...

Sorry for the lapse in postings...April has a "happiest day of my life" moment, but it also has a very sad day moment.

Rocky, my chinchilla died 2 years ago. I still miss him. When I come home at night there are times when I remind myself that it's time for his snack or his dust bath, only to remember he's not here anymore. It's been 2 years and I stIll miss him. A LOT.

April is also the month when I first kissed my wife, and who a year later I married. I still can't believe it's been 2 years since our life started. I am happy and grateful for every moment we have had and for every moment we will have.

Like I said, April is a tough time for me. I'll be back, soon.

4/19/2007

Just some fun news...

I actually meant to post this some time ago, and than a funny thing happened. Season told me about a recent development, which refreshed the noggin which leads to this little post. One of Season's best friends runs a resort up in Hazelhurst WI, (it's pretty close to the North Pole...or at least in winter it sure as hell feels that way), well any way they have this ice out contest....

ICE OUT CONTEST

and this year some fun things happened...for example

"touched by the flame of fame"

well of course fame is never truly a fleeting momen, when you got the goods to be a celebrity...

"the flame burns brighter still"

now I truly hope that that Cliff doesn't fall into that celebrity pit trap. I hope we never see a clothing malfunction at the Superbowl or on the Red Carpet. Or Paris Hilton-esque type escapades.

Just a little thing to smile about.

4/17/2007

A THOUGHT CAME INTO MY HEAD

OK, every once in a while, I'll have this thought in my head, well actually it's more of a question that leads to more questions. I usually torture my wonderful wife with it, but I figured that there enough people in the World Wide Webpublic that I put my question to you...

here it is...

Everybody wants the "illegal" immigrants to leave the U.S.A. correct?

Well how far do we go back?

Do we go back just a few days, months, years, decades, centuries or eons?

So considering most people came by choice, when there was no goverment...except for the rules and customs of the natives then are they illegal immigrants, considering they never asked permission to come here?

What if you were brought here against your will?

Are slaves technically immigrants?

If not does that mean only the decendents of those people are allowed, because to migrate means to move from one place to another, but if your forced does that still apply?

Now if we keep this train of thought going...so that means if you moved here, were brought here, ran away to here, before this was a named country...but wait a second...didn't the natives have a name for this country, so didn't we violate their laws?

So does that mean we have to go back that far...or wait...didn't the natives migrate here from some other place, so doesn't that make them illegal also?

So if tecnically everybody is an illegal immigrant...than who is legal?

Just some questions to ponder...

GOT THE TIME TICK TICKIN IN MY HEAD

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of."
Benjamin Franklin
author, political theorist, politician, printer, scientist, inventor, civic activist, and diplomat
January 17, 1706 – April 17, 1790

Time is an amazing thing. You never seem to have enough of it, but when you stop and look back, you realize how much has passed you by. In 15 days I will celebrate my first wedding anniversary. Which means for some reason Season has stayed married to me for 365 days as my wife and 730 days since we started dating, and it's been one amazing journey.

As with any journey there have been obstacles, that somehow we have overcome. We've had our share of rough times along the way. We have also shared some great times. There have been some truly heart wrenching moments, along with moments of absolute bliss.

And to believe it all started with a 2 people who were above all things friends first. Who shared a dance, then later a kiss and who have never been apart since.

This has just been something I've been thinking about all night. Just wanted to share.

SORRY...DUSTING OFF THE SOAP BOX

Usually I read something and I can do one of the following:

Learn from it
Laugh at it
Ignore it.

BUT, every once in a while I need to say something. Now a while back I would have named who did it and just light a flame so high god himself (herself for the feminists, goddess for the wiccans, Allah for the Muslims...you get the idea) wouldn't be able to fart without causing a little methane explosion. But I have since grown up a bit...mainly it takes too much energy to keep a flame war going and it's just not worth it.

So it comes down to this comment made

"If you weigh 300 lbs, you are not beautiful. You have serious issues that you need to fix."

Now as I usually state "I am not a smart man nor am I a wise man but...".

This is one of those moments.

Isn't beauty a fluid perception? One viewer sees an object while another sees art? Isn't beauty subjective to persons point of view? But to make a statement like that is an insult. I guess in a time when people take so much time to play judge and jury (including myself, but I am working on it...A LOT), we forget that there are real people with very real feelings and emotions that can be hurt by such comments. I know I am at fault for my own snap judgements but they usually stay inside my head, where there is a little Jose who starts to point out my own flaws.

This just upsets me. There is no such thing as a perfect person. That's one of those things that makes this such a wonderful world. We are this huge patchwork quilt of fuckedupness that creates a world filled with color, flavor, awe and wonder. It's the one thing we all have in common. We are all, so totally and completely fucked up in our own way. No one is perfect. We are all flawed creations. It really is a good thing. If we were perfect there would be nothing to drive to better ourselves (and sadly for a lot of us, there still isn't anything to drive us to better ourselves).

This world already has people who spend time and energy tearing each other down (even within our respective communities) that we forget 2 simple facts. We all live on the same planet and that we will die on this planet (yes...I know the whole astronaut and space travel thing will change that someday...but not today).

So please next time think before making a blanket statement like that...because there may be someone who's talking about you the same way, and I still wouldn't like it or approve of it.

WHY OH WHY?- THE RAMBLINGS OF SOMEONE WITH A LITTLE TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS.

“I'll not willingly offend, Nor be easily offended; What's amiss I'll strive to mend, And endure what can't be mended”

Isaac Watts

English hymn writer, July 17, 1674 – November 25, 1748


So today my wife and I had this conversation

Season-"Jose' why must all your profile pics be of someone giving the middle finger?"

Jose- "Because I find it funny. And it's my social commentary on the current state of affairs."

Season- "Aren't you afraid of offending anyone?"

Jose- "Honey, you do read my blogs right? If they aren't offended by what I write, how in the blue hell could they be offended by a drawn character with a middle finger proudly displayed?"

Season- "But they might not read your blog if the first thing they see is a pic of someone flipping them off."

Jose- "But I'm not flipping them off...I'm flipping of the establishment."

Season- "But they don't know that."

Jose- "but....uhh...TOUCHE'. You know honey, I hate it when you use logic to disarm my illogical behavior. See that's your problem, you confuse the issue by using facts and logic."

Season- "Yeah, whatever, take out the garbage."

Which oddly is how most of our discussions go. This was just something I wanted to share with you all.

So with that said how the hell is everyone today? No one slapped the hell out of someone who badly deserved it? No one killed anyone, chopped up their bodies, put the remains into a cheap K-Mart trunk with lots of little holes (so that the little critters can go in there and eat away at the corpse), put the trunk in a swamp, bog, or marsh with rocks in the bottom so that the trunk would sink to the bottom to never be found again? I mean I know the readers of this blog would already know how to get rid of bodies and get away with a perfect crime. So this would be labeled under "rhetorical and slightly sarcastic question."

I know this seems like a gruesome segue, and I'll get to my point in my usual long winded way. I was watching Penn and Tellers-Bullshit!, and it happened to be about one of my favorite topics in the world. Actually I should say my favorite two topics in the world. It was a show on breasts...well actually Breast Hysteria. Which simply translates to this:
  • Why do people make a big deal about breasts feeding?
  • Why is breast feeding considered to be just as wrong as Paris Hilton nipple slip? (thas a quote from the show)
  • Why do people forget that breasts do serve a real purpose (well other than making some men and some women drool)?
  • But for me...what's the big deal? They're breasts. Many women already show most of their naughty pillows. I mean when a neckline extends to the belly button, people are going to look. Be patient, the trunk theme will make itself clear.

Well after watching this I started thinking about history. You know, it was illegal for women to show legs of during the Victorian era (roughly 1830's through the early 1900's). Also as late as the 1960's-70's it was indecent for women to show off their navels. Now I'm not a smart man nor am I a wise man but I do have some questions to ask.

Now obviously people who flash their goodies for the whole world to see, unless it's a legally designated nudity is allowed area, is considered a criminal. I say this because if they are caught flashing or showing their god given pajamas, there are tickets, fines, and/or jail time correct?

So we spend some of the tax money prosecuting these law breakers, right?

They than do their time and pay their fine, right? (except in areas of the world where the law is much stricter and the punishment does NOT necessarily fit the crime...just my opinion)

I'm guessing that during certain events of the year in many places all over the world this is happening, and many are caught, right?

Yet you never hear of a celebrity on the red carpet get a ticket for the "accidental" exposure of their yum yums even though, thanks to the paparazzi, there is evidence for all the world to see, right?

And O.J. can literally get away with murder, even though they had the evidence, right?

Then write a book on it, right?

So I guess what you have to do is become famous so you can show off your junk, kill someone, and get away with it, than write a book and make money over this, right?

Just something to think about.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MEN OF TOMORROW?

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"And Lord knows, kids like Henry need a hero. Courageous, self-sacrificing people. Setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride"

Spider-Man 2 (2004), Rosemary Harris


I was thinking about my past last night, and what I wanted to be when I "grew up". Then I started thinking about heroes...not the TV show on NBC, but the real life inspirations to the child that eventually grew up to be me. I remember wanting to be a teacher because my first and second grade teacher was so helpful to this kid who was to antsy to sit still, and so eager to learn everything. I remember wanting to be the Lone Ranger because he always fought for what was right and just. I wanted to be Bruce Jenner because he was an incredible athlete. I wanted to be Jumping Jim Brunzell because he was my "absolute favorite wrestler". When I was 5-6 years old I needed heroes like these. Someone to set a standard so that I, as a kid, would have an idea of what a "grown up" should be. Back then stars. celebrities and athletes, whether or not they wanted to be, did know that they were in fact role models and heroes to many children and adults.

But as I grew older my heroes changed. Soon it wasn't about the men and women who made the world a better place, but men and women who made their own paths, regardless of the consequences. I went from positive role models to anti-heroes. I talked a little about it yesterday.

Then as I grew older yet, stars, athletes, and celebrities now claim that they are not heroes or role models. They state that they are who they want to be and it's not their fault if some kid emulates them. Now I admit that this is partly true. But to deny that they have no influence on us is just a cop out. Or who knows maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe there are no more heroes to look up to. Maybe there never were. Maybe I was just a delusional child that thought that there were people out there who would teach us to be better human being by their actions and their words.

Or maybe there are no more heroes for me as an adult. Maybe I've grown disillusioned by the fact that too many people now only think of themselves, and at times that includes myself.

Maybe the only real fact is that as a child I looked for those great qualities that would steer us all into superb human beings in outside avenues, because back than, everything was pretty much cut and dry, the heroes WERE the good guys. I guess back then we were allowed to believe in that.

Sometimes I really miss back then.

JUST A RANDOM VIEW FROM THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE

Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
Scottish Proverb


Hiya folks! I hope you are all doing fantastic today! Not much happened today. Just another day come and gone, but for some silly reason I feel great:
happy spirit, happy soul, and happy thoughts.

It still surprises me when I feel this way. I spent a lot of my life either to drunk or to angry or simply in denial of the possibility of good things happening (even though in many cases, some good things were happening, and I was just to blind to see them). I have been re-learning how to appreciate the things I do have. I don't mean the material items (it seems the longer I walk this big blue planet, the less those things matter...hmm I may be growing up...now that's a scary thought) but the things that have real worth.

Not that long ago and for a long time before that, I used to fill the emptiness in my existence with many forms of distractions. I used to buy DVDs, books, the Internet and comics to mentally escape the reality I lived in. I use to drink like the proverbial fish and I used music to justify it all. In the lyrics of just about any song I had an excuse for any self destructive behavior I wished to indulge in. But lately...well that seems to have changed.

I now get books that just sound interesting to read. I still watch movies but now I digest them as a media outlet:
was the story any good, were the actors believable, did the dialogue fit the character, was the music appropriate, what could have been done better, well you get the idea.

Music, now that is a different story. I now take my appreciation of music to a different level. It's become an avenue for history and influence. I listen to music as an emotional safety valve and sometimes as a way of expressing what I want to say, when I myself can't find the words. I now watch the performers, and no longer try to mirror them or imitate their behavior (after a 16 year "love" of Jack Daniels -thanks to Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx- just the sight of the bottle causes a gag reflex that is usually saved for televangelists...and Oprah).

I don't need to emulate my adolescent idols to prove my worth to myself or anyone. I just need to be at peace with my demons, accept that they are a part of me, and make sure that it's Jose that steers the ship through the choppy sea of continuance and not the malignant spirit that it used to be. It's not always easy, but any fight for your soul is worth fighting for.

I know it sounds so melodramatic...but I guess in many ways I am. And that folks...is just who I am. In the end I am still me, just a better me.
