not sure about this post

as i am sitting on this beautiful backside i was blessed with i am having a hard time trying to find a good idea that i should post about. my thoughts first go to things that are currently happening with me, but as u may (or may not) know my wife blogs ad nausea about those things and i don't want to bore, i mean go back over those things. my thoughts then turn to those burning questions that will solve all mankind's ill. for those who know me know those thoughts never make it upstairs. i finally decided to write about a thought that i've had for many years, and have tried to like a mad man to try to prove it wrong, but to no avail as of yet. that thought is (seriously) about how a man such as myself could get by w/out any real talent. i know u may (or maybe not) know but i was born without any real talents. i've been told by wife (and couple others) that i can talk. not sure where that will help w/the exception of being a politician. since i don't have the talents of being able to screw everybody around me over for my own gain w/out even giving it a second thought, a drinking problem, or the ability to able to lie about everything. i'm thinking politician is outta the question. i don't write about this topic for sympathy's sake. i truly feel life this and pretty much prove it everyday. u may wonder what does this anchor think constitutes a talent these days (since most people out don't seem to have talent, but yet are somehow able to make it). i know they even have a show called "america's got talent". i won't hold it against u if u've never heard of it or watched cause from the couple of times i've have the misfortune of watching most of the acts reminded me of myself and my lack of talent. the anchor is looking at charlie sheen and his talent for not dying (cause it's for amateurs) and having tiger blood and all all i can think about is why not me? i'm not sure what talent the anchor would love to have, had things been differently and i was born with a talent. there are too many talents out there to start listing them all in this little post, but i think all 5 of my beloved blog readers know what talents are. although being able to fly or have x-ray vision would come in handy. i gotta end this post now cause i'm being told by the powers that be i've been spending too much time bloggin and not spending enough time working on developing a talent. so i leave u with a quote by someone who does nothing but be a winner using his talents (don't think they are god given though), charlie sheen "I have real fame. They have nothing. They have zero. They have that night and I will forget about them as the last image of them exits my beautiful home."

sicko

the title is not for the michael moore movie, but to me over the past few days (and some would add for most of my life, but those people aren't part of the elite group of 5 that read this blog, so forget them). it started last friday (the friday prior to yesterday) when my youngest kid took a nap in the afternoon. a nap being something they haven't done for many years. that should have been my first clue something was coming down the pike. that very same night they got a fever as well. on sat the wife stayed home with the youngin so me and my other kiddo could go to my uncle's casa, and see my cousin and his family from the great state of texas. the shin dig was amazing with some of the best food i've eaten in a long time. when leaving the sworay i received a call from the wife saying that she had a sore throat and was starting to get aches in her lower joints. i headed home not thinking of the problem that lay ahead. sunday comes, and the wife is burning up with a fever and feeling achy in all her joints now. this was super bowl sunday and i spent the day taking care of the kiddos who by now had both been running fevers, coughing, and being the usual thorn in my side with their fighting and arguing. by sunday night the mrs's couldn't even get outta bed without my help so i took off monday to take care of the kids while she rested (the kids where to do the same since they are sick n all, but that's another post in itself). on tuesday when i got home it was the same things as before but working even harder to not get myself sick. wed morning i wake up to go to work, only now i've got a sore throat. while i am at work my knees begin to give way in pain and my lower joints start to ache. the scary thing is i know whats coming, so i ask to leave early to stop from further exposing anyone else to it. similar to a werewolf when the full moon starts, i felt this sickness start and progress as the day went. that morning as it grew inside me and thought i knew what i was in for. little did i know..... wed, thurs, fri, and now sat i would be almost completely bed ridden with the flu. luckily i have only had 1 night so far where i spent the evening praying to the porcelain god. all my joints ache, i have horrible coughing fits, and an incredible amount of pain in my chest and back area. for the rest of the my symptoms you can read the poem:I Cannot Go To School Today!by Shel Silverstein. a classic. after being in bed for almost all day today decided i would write this post to let the last 5 readers of this blog know i am still alive (as much as i may not feel like it right now). i can now feel the fever start to creep up but i must wait another hour to go by so i can my meds and go to bed. hopefully by the time i post again i will have gotten over this flu, but not with the help of a silver bullet.

a corona commercial day

i normally don't talk about my day to day (mainly as not to bore the dwindling 5 readers i still have (if i still do)), but today was a doozi. i have 2 kids with disabilities so i try to be more understanding when it comes to rough days, but today was one for the books, or should i use the lame joke, blog. your right i shouldn't. so to start things off today i was starting in a new dept at work with a new manager and new team. so to my surprise when im in the middle of training and get a call from my older kids school. it's non other than the dean of students or what we referred to in my days as the assistant principal. he was calling just to make sure i knew that my kid was now suspended from riding the bus for running around while the bus was in motion, and that because of his behavior at school i would need to come down to the school and sit with him. im sure my response was met with the same surprise as his call to me when i said no. because of the things happening at my work and training i couldn't leave. i told him i would contact my wife and see if she would be able to come down and sit with our child. i called my wife and let her know what was going on and she let me know that she would do no such thing. after letting the dean of students know her of move to not come down cause she was on her way to work he decided he wouldn't be outdone, and suspend our child for 2 days. fast forward to a little later in my morning after my wife picked up our child and was home getting ready to go back to work with our offspring in tow and as she is telling me whats been going on i get another call from a school. this time it's our younger child who apparently is having some trouble as well. the teacher wanted to let me know that she didn't know what to do after this younger kiddo was banging his head on the wall, breaking the pen needed to do work, refusing to do any work, and then if that wasn't enough, dancing around the room and screaming. i requested to speak to this kiddo, who i refused to do so. all i could hear in the background was this child telling the teacher "no, i don't wanna talk to daddy". i let the teacher know to let em know of the repercussions if the day was not turned around. thinking this is it i can now go back and focus on my new job and finish up my training for the day. a little bit later i get yet another call. it's my wife again, and she lets me know that she now has a lunch break for a few hours at work ( a daycare center) because this kiddo in all his brilliance took a bike from outside on the playground and rode it around the hallways at her work. so she was able to get a break till i was able to get off work and come by to get this thorn in our sides, i mean beautiful, wonderful, well behaved child. after that call i just turned my phone off. fast forward to after school for the younger child, and i go to talk to the teacher to see if this one was at least able to turn it around (unlike the older sibling), and to my dismay (not really) they were unable to . they refused to do any work and was being just as stubborn as the mommy anchor, i mean this papa anchor. so now im here writing about this day while they both sit in their perspective time out spots, stripped of their privileges and freedom. all i can think about are those cornona commercials where there is a couple sitting in chairs or hammocks on a deserted island away from everything looking out into the ocean from a beach. i don't drink alcohol, but thinking of these commercials combined with a day like mine, i can start to see why people drink (especially corona). i ask if your one of my faithful readers and have any suggestions that can help me get some serenity, please do. i am in desperate need of some serenity right now.

the wait is over

you read it right my loyal 7 (probably down to just 3-4 now) readers. i am back in 2011. i bet u thought the yankees losing would be the last you'd read from me (and you probably wanted it to be as well), but your wrong. After a small hiatus im back to lead the way in bad blogs for 2011. survived x-mas, few illnesses, and even some weight loss, all to start off the new year. my wife, i mean santa made the bog mistake of getting the nintendo wii (under the guise of it being a gift for the kids) for x-mas. ever since then this evil item has ripped time and energy from both my wife and me playing super mario bros. most of the time we are having to threaten each other with the cops being called (and the chance of being on tv) to get a turn. all the while the kids are maintaining the residence and taking care of the adult responsibilities. i don't want to bore u anymore than i already have (i can't afford to lose anymore readers). so i will end this one, and hope that the next post will be chalked full of wisdom for each and everyone of my readers (all 3 possibly 4 if im lucky). please drop me a note if you have any suggestions for me to write about, cause i am currently at zero. i do ask that math not be on the list, i know no matter i can't make math interesting n matter how hard i try.

guess who's back in 2011???

answer forth coming, and soon (or maybe not)!!!!

update

well a few things have taken place since my last post. the yankees lost their way to the world series this year, and by default my next favorite team became the giants. i watched almost all the games of the world series, and have to say that im very disappointed. for starters the rangers where a beast against the yankees, only to lay down and do next to nothing against the giants. cliff lee who was the talk of the town (besides lincecum) faded into almost nothing status in the series. it was sad cause as bad as i wanted to see the rangers lose for what they did to the yankees, i wanted to see cliff lee pitch like he had against the yankees series. i was hoping to see a 7 game series come down to extra innings. oh well oh well. the one great thing about the series was the giants bull pen. i only knew lincecum, and was blown away more by cain & bumgarner than lincecum. there is always next year for the yanks to redeem themselves (and add cliff lee to their bull pen). as far as other things that have happened, i had a b-day, and like all the others before, just a reminder to me of another year down with nothing to show for it. although i do prefer a year like this last one more so than the one from 2008. that's when i had surgery and my boys where diagnosed as special needs as well as some other fun things i chose to not be reminded of. the suns my b-ball team are showing they may be @ 500 this season. now keep in mind i will be glad if they make 500, and the sad thing is that they where in the conference finals last year. the cardinals are right there just under 500 this season. the reason for the sports talk is that it's broughten the most happiness to me lately. sad but true. friends and fam are excluded from this list cause u guys should already know where u rank on my list (towards the bottom for some). had a house warming party which was awesome. had my bros & there fams as well as my parents and my grandma all over. bbq some burgers & doggs and enjoyed college football while the kids ransacked the house destroying everything in their path. it was great. well i got nothing else now. as u can see nothing of excitement has been going on with me. and for me that's a good thing. seems when things get exciting it's usually not a good thing. i know the election just took place and of course i voted so i can complain about how things continue to be the same, for which i am confident they will continue to be (just being a realist). sorry for the boring post. hopefully i will have more exciting tings next time. adios

the weight is over

to all my 7 readers, i am back (at least for the time being)! i know you've been waiting on bended knee to hear the latest nonsense from me, and i'm sorry to say that this post probably won't be worth the wait, or should i say weight. saying that "life has been a little crazy lately" is nothing short of the understatement of the year for me. the past 2 months have provided more excitement (not in a good way) than i have had in all my life. the unfortunate thing for you the reader is that my wife has already blogged at ad nausea about it so much that i will spare you the details. if your interested in the details go read her blog (nothing brings her more happiness that to look at the bottom of her blog at the "executive desk" to see how many have looked at her blog). the sad thing is that that even with her being with me or the kids, she would still rather be looking at that, and her blog than us. onto what i was going to post about today. the subject of my post today is about a milestone that took place in my life (to show you how sad my life is) about a week ago. i accomplished something that i had failed to do on many occasions prior. i went for a whole year without a soda (2 sips that took place in an emergency situations only). i have substituted soda in my life with more water and juices. the sad thing is that with such an accomplishment, my body figure is probably in the worst shape. i would have thought that giving up something that is so loaded with sugar (very delicious sugar) and has no real health benefit i would have at least dropped a few pounds or lost some of my gut, but to my dismay this hasn't happened. i am now trying to figure out what other alterations are needed in order to lose some of this gut. if any of my 7 readers have ideas beside the usual eat healthier and exercise (although i'm pretty sure that would for do it), please let me know (i'm all ears or should i say eyes as i will more than likely be reading them. it feels good to be back guys.
