humorous and perilous rants of a kamikaze

I am more or less trying to post something at least every other day on her. Get in the habit now so when things get busy it'll come naturally. The main point I wanted to make/say is that I'm thankful for my family, friends, and all of you (however few) that read this thing called a blog. Thanks for whatever reason. Whether you have similar interests or you just like laughing at my so-called journalism. I appreciate it and hopefully you are having a good start to the holiday season.

This thanksgiving was crazier than any other. Me and the wifey went up the night before to Indy and spent the morning and afternoon up there with my family. Stayed up late with brothers and watched The Soloist.

Then woke up around nine to catch some coffee with some good friends. Chowed down on food then drove back home which took an hour and a half to eat some more and hang out with the wife's family. All in all, it was a wonderful day but, the most busy Thanksgiving by far.

Now back to work. Friday and Saturday nights. It's going to be a long weekend. HOWEVER.... only the holidays.... can make you feel that way. That everything is all good, and everything will be alright. 

Just sitting here wondering how in the world it got to be the day before Thanksgiving. That's mad crazy. Sitting in my front room, sipping some coffee, looking at my newly received Malcolm X poster.... hahahaha, and thinking about things.

"One day, I was staring into the sky
What I saw so beautiful, started to make me cry
But what I saw, it wasn't what they've seen
So when I tried to describe it people started making a scene
Telling me, what I should've already known
That our boundaries are smaller
People's limitations are shown

So I wept a second time, but this was for my people
Could our restrictions be seen as a sign of evil? "                                 unfinished poem Th#1 2009

Life is nuts.... that it is. You can get going so fast that you forget to look at the small things. I know I've done that too many times in the past couple of months. When you have so many things on your plate you can even push out the biggest thing in your life. The holidays are great for this reason. For most it gives us a time to look back or even just ponder on life as it is right now. I have a beautiful wife, two jobs, an in'the'process house, marvelous friends, and wonderful family. Not to even mention two newer cars in front of the house. I could complain about this and that but I'm not. Life is good. And G-d is greater. Allahu Akbar. To G-d be the glory.

Hello all my Sonic the Hedgehog fans out there. I have been captivated by G-d again. I went to Sunergos today which is my regular Friday morning routine and basically just read the Bible for a good hour or so. Spent most of that time in 1 Corinthians and I just read and read. 3:18 really stood out to me; I guess it is the whole fact of humility. So many people have just let that fly out of the window. I know, I know; you have to be your own biggest fan and a little swagger now and then is necessary, but humility will take you a long way. That just really caught my attention this morning and I ran with it.

Getting married in almost three weeks now. The pressure is mounting and there is still some stuff left to do, but I can't wait. It's going to be way to fun with everyone coming down. The bachelor party, the rehearsal cookout, the dancing that will take place at the reception. Not even to mention I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!

Here's something I wrote awhile back....

I find it funny that the man in the mirror would scream infidelities like he does.

If he only knew who he was really screaming at.

That he might... learn to speak kinder words or at least a little gentler.

I wonder how he would feel; plastered against the opposite of a more confined and quieter space.

Would he then understand the range of emotions one could go through in a single day?

Could he comprehend the joy of a racing heart?

Should he be able to realize the confounding notions of an armful of goosebumps?

But then why again am I envious of this cowardly figure?

He who just sits there until I come by, and wishes he could fiure why I'm such a stickler for

My G-d, my girl, my gracious good graces

Granting granules of sugar to gratify gallons of tea that he only wished could quench his thirst.

Lord, am I really talking about my reflection?

Buying a house, stalling on car, needing some Indy, finishing up semester, writing down vows, listening to music, working at Avalon(www.avalonfresh.com), and seeking my G-d. Anybody want to join me?

I can't even explain how I feel. Homesick? Disapointed? Dilusional?

          So this will be all over the place just to let you know. Getting some stuff down for the wedding. Tuxes are picked out, Groomsmen gifts are figured out, and guest list almost finalized.

Car is totaled; I figured that out a couple days ago, when I talked to Jason (whom I still don't trust totally). How come I feel like I've been cheated during this whole process? I need to figure if I have gap insurance with National City because more than likely I'm missing out on 3 grand or so. If I don't have gap insurance, I hopefully can add it onto my next auto loan when I get a new car. I'm thinking Mitsubishi this time around folks. I'd love to support the American car companies, but if my dream car is available...

I don't know, we'll see what happens. It'll still be two weeks or so before I know for sure what's happening.

Everything is crazy though. School 5 days a week, work has been tumultuous as of late, and little sleep goes a long way. Finances aren't the best. Feels like my life is on a ferris wheel, and I'm sitting with one of those kids that like to rock the boat. More on this later kiddies, much love. 

So I'm actually heading out the door to go to yet another library. I'm already a member to three different ones, but they are all small country ones, that don't have much. I"m going to the Louisville Free Public Library to find a couple books. Snow melted, car totaled, and money jumbled...

My fellow Americans, there is a state of emergency right now in the metropolitan area of Louisville, KY. Seriously, in my opinion, it's not that bad out. I really want to go sledding right now.... You have no idea. So i guess over night there was about an inch or two of freezing rain. Then it started snowing again, which it still is. I'm about to go out and play in it and also take some pictures with my fiance. I don't know if I'm going to go into work or not.

The car thing has escalated. It is now impounded. One officer said I had up to a week to get it off the street. I thought that was a bit liberal, but since he is an officer of the law I took his word as truth. Well five days later, a different officer had it impounded on the premise that it was an abandoned vehicle in a parking violation. So which one is right? I'm trying to get it out today, but then again, that state of emergency... All I know is that I'm fighting that impoundment fee all the way. I'm tired of this so much. Such a pain in the butt hole.

So here are those pictures you've been earnestly waiting for.
