Movies & Pizza 2

Ever go to a amusement park or a fair? I love to ride the rides and play games. I hate restrictions. I hate the you can do this only if you do that stuff. It would be like looking at a game or ride and being told you can only ride it once. That takes the fun out of the ride. We did not watch either of the movies last night, but the pizza was good. I was kind of let down by it, but life goes on. Today I have to take her to the dentist. I will spend the night reading I guess. I hope it does not hurt her much. In the news we hand over Saddam today. He will finally face the people he hurt. A teacher in Florida is in trouble for having sex with 15 year old student. Why? Just like Clinton said in his book, because she could. Not a good answer.

Movies & Pizza

Tonight is going to be so cool. I am ordering pizza and going over to Shannons’. We are going to watch some movies. She has never watched a couple of my favorites: Citizen Kane and One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest. She may not like me much after this. I hope she sees the art and talent in these two very different movies.If you have not watched them, rent them or better yet, do like me and get them at your local library! I am off to have some fun.

Something Special

Well I said I had something special planned for yesterday and boy was it special! My baby got very sick and I had to call a ambulance at 5:30am. She spent the morning in the ER. They helped her and sent her home at 10:30. I had to watch her closely for 24 hours and she is doing great! She will be baptized this Sunday if the weather is permitting.
My uncle who is fighting colon cancer is doing well. He is home and resting trying to heal as fast as possible. He will start treatments as soon as he heals from surgery.
I applied for a job at UVA today, so keep your fingers crossed. I will be posting some pictures of my garden soon. Boy how it has grown.
In the news Fahrenheit 9/11 set records in New York, it figures. The movie opens Friday in Abingdon. I am curious if it sets records there. People think Fahrenheit 9/11 is the truth and The Passion Of Christ is a fantasy. Go figure.

My Baby is Back

My baby came home today and I am a very happy man. We cuddled on the couch and watched tv. She fixed a great dinner and we played with the cat. She decided not to bring home a new one and I must say I was happy about that. I am so glad she is home, as I am lost without her. We watched The Rat Pack on tv. I have always been a big Sinatra fan. I don’t know how factual the movie was, but boy could these guys party! Todays stars could take lessons from them. I think she enjoyed it too. I have something special planned for tomorrow.
In the news they killed the Korean hostage. I had hoped they would not do it because Korea was willing to pull out as the terrorist requested. Again, this shows the evil we are fighting.
To anyone going to see Mr. Moores movie check this out.

No Rain!

Today was a beautiful in the mountains. We have had two days in a row without rain. I watched in amazement this morning as the first private owned spacecraft went up and carried its pilot safely back to earth. It is mind boggling what will happen next.
My baby doll comes home tomorrow and I am excited to see her. I think she is bringing home another cat. I do not know how the one she has now (booboo) will take to that. She says that booboo is my cat. I played rough with him as a kitten and he is very aggressive. He has his loving moments but most of the time he wants to bite you. I will post a pic of him soon.
In the news: Fahrenheit 9/11. I think it is nothing more than a one sided view designed to take Bush down. Mr. Moore has an agenda and I hate to see a movie that is one sided being called a documentary. This is not what the country needs. I hope and pray that Americans see through the hype and do not use this propaganda to decide on who they vote for. Bush has made mistakes. We did rush into this war. But hindsight is always 20/20. We must stand tall and defeat the terror!

Fathers Day


My father has always been there for me. He never gave me the extras in life, but I always had what I needed. Today was a great day for me and I hope it was for him too. We went to church and had fellowship. When we returned home, we walked to the garden and he picked up some apples that had fallen off the trees’. I grilled his favorite chicken, and made cornbread salad. We ate and watched the race together. ( in between naps ) I never appreciated my father until I became an adult. As I watched him walking today in the garden, his slow pace and hands clasped behind his back, I thanked God for him. I will never be half the man my father is.

They did it again

Well, they have did it again, beheaded another American in Saudi Arabia. The terrorist are content on killing by any means. I pray for his family and friends.
We need to step up the war on terror. Bush needs to go before congress and declare war on terrorists’ and any country that supports them. We as Americans need to unite as one, forget the politics, as the terrorist will kill us no matter which party we support. The planes on 9/11 were not partisan, they killed all. I am tired of hearing about abuse of prisoners and what a boob Bush is. This only hurts our effort and makes us look weak in the terrorists eyes. We are facing a new type of war against armies that play by no rules, we should also throw the rule book out!
Moving on, I will miss Ray Charles but his music LIVES ON!!

06/15/04 12:45am

Just got a call from Shannon and she said her grandfathers wake went very well. There was a great turn out of friends and family. Shannon gave her heart to the Lord tonight. She said “He had been working on her for awhile.” I know this answers many people’s prayers. She will be baptized in two weeks. I am sure there will be a wonderful crowd present for this event. I am happy for Shannon and her family, and I can’t wait to tell my family and friends’. The Lord works in mysterious ways. I don’t know where she and I stand at the moment, but I hope it is leading to good things. I was drawn to post that picture of us earlier. Lets hope it is a good sign of things to come.

Shannon & I Posted by Hello

06/14/04

Today things looked better. I am worried about tomorrow and my uncles’ surgery. It has rained here all day, like it has for the past month. I believe we are living in a rain forest.
I wish I was in Rose Hill with Shannon and her family, but it is not possible. She would not talk to me anyway, but I would like to pay my respects.
I have some thoughts on the news. I saw Bill Clinton asleep at Reagan’s funeral. I was ashamed, but really not surprised. The bad part about that was there are thousands of people who would have loved to be there, but could not, and that seat could have been given to someone who appreciated it. What a class act!

my heart Posted by Hello
|
I have done it again. I have managed to hurt my heart, apparently beyond repair. I did not intend to do this. She is unwilling to forgive me, even though her blog is “To err is human.” Well that is very true, but, is forgiveness not divine? I made a mistake and did not lie or hide it. She is unwilling to forgive me. I went to see her before she left for her grandfathers services. I carried her bags down to her mom’s car and placed them in the back seat. I asked her if she would call me and she replied coldly “yes.” Then she got in and drove away. No hug, no I love you, not even a glance back.
I am sorry for my mistake. I am sorry for her family, as I really love them. She does not see things as I do. I know that this could be the last time we ever speak, or our eye’s meet. I love her and pray for her families comfort. I hope she calls and is safe. My heart just drove away.

6/13/2004
My girlfriends grandfather past away Saturday, so it is a sad time for her and her family. I had only met him once and he seemed very nice. I guess in hindsight we should have called him or sent a card. Now, all we can do is support and pray for his family, and offer help as needed. I pray for their comfort. I wish I had been able to take Shannon there to see him. She worried about him and her father Jim a lot. I was not able to take her because of my financial condition. I will never forget this and how I have robbed her of seeing him. To Shannon, I AM SORRY!
This weekend has been a trying time for all of us. I am glad it is about over to say the least. I made several wrong decisions and hurt a close friends feelings. Pray for me and my family.
My uncle has surgery Tuesday. I have spoken to him everyday and helped him in many ways around his home. I will not wait for something bad to happen and then try to make up for it afterwards. We have all seen that happen before and it is easy to spot. People feel guilty they did nothing before sickness, then try to make up for it after it is too late. I did that with my grandmother, and it impresses no one. If the worst does happen, I feel good that I have supported him in good times and bad.

Good Day's & Bad Day's

Some days are good and some days are bad, and still some are a combination of both. Today is one of those combo days. I was interviewed for a job a few weeks back and the decision was supposed to be made today. I have not heard anything so I guess I did not get it. I was counting on this job as it was close to home and I would be able to work and pursue my B.A. degree. There is very little opportunity in this area and to say the least I am heartbroken. It is hard for me to say it is their loss, not mine.
On the good side, my girlfriend had a medical procedure this morning and came through it with great success. In fact, she called to say she and her Mom are going out to eat and do some shopping. I am glad she is ok and hopefully having some fun shopping. The main thing is I did not have to go! (LoL)
I worked in the yard weed eating and tinkered in the garden and shop trying to keep busy and clear my thoughts. I watched my Father ride his mower and inspected the apple trees, not many this year. The picture below is from today of the garden, enjoy!

Family & A True American

My family is going through a real tough time. My uncle is having surgery this week and worries are abundant. I have not really felt like writing much for this blog. I will however call attention to one thing. Ronald Reagan’s legacy will live a very long time. He was loved by many and hated by few. He was an American. He embodied the American dream. He was the son of the town drunk; he went to college and became a famous actor. Later he became governor of California. He was elected to two terms as our President, getting more votes than any other candidate, ever. That is quite an accomplishment. He is proof that your dreams can come true, with hard work and effort. Reagan was an American hero, let us honor him as such.

Kerry vs. Bush pt.2

Kerry Vs Bush pt.2
I am looking at two things in my president: A goal for America, and this nation’s security.
I will have to support Bush as Kerry has no known goals. Bush will keep our military strong. I don not care what the rest of the world thinks of the USA. I do not want the U.N. to provide our security. A WW2 vet told me once “there is not a country in the world that would not attack us today if they thought they could win.” I believe that. We are hated for our freedom, our values, and our success as a nation. We have come far in a little over 200 years. We did not get this far by listening to the U.N. Bush had the guts to say to heck with what the world thinks. He has made mistakes, as all have. He will make more as we all will. In this time of war, I do not see voting for the most liberal candidate in the race. Kerry, the catholic that’s supports abortion? His greatest supporters are some scary people. Look up George Soros and what he stands for. I don’t want his agenda for America. No morals, no rules. It is scary.
I will vote for Bush. I want one nation, under God. I cannot bring myself to vote for a man who is funded by Soros. As a people, we need rules, morals, and ethics. This, not thumbs, separates us from animals. Bush may not be the smartest man but I believe he has a mission to keep this country safe. Kerry stands for anything he panders after. He offers criticism, but no answers. Bush tells us to pray while Kerry supports abortion.
In closing, I ask; who would the terrorist’s support? Whom would France want? I want a man that they hate. A man they fear. I want George W. Bush.

Kerry vs. Bush

Kerry vs. Bush
Before I vent on this subject I should give a little information on my political views. I am not a democrat or a republican, as neither party has helped me much. I am from the south, a small town of less than 3500 people. I was raised in a protestant home with Christian values and morals. I am all for personal freedoms, but I don’t want drugs legal, homosexual marriage, or abortions.
First off is drugs, been there, done that, got a tattoo not a t-shirt. Legalizing drugs would be a form of genocide against all compulsive people. Some people have no problem with moderation, yet others can not stop. This is the same as with tobacco, alcohol, food, etc. Making it easier to obtain is not the answer.
Gay marriage should not be legal. I will keep my religious beliefs out of this and just say that it does not happen in nature. People are NOT born gay, it is a learned behavior. Plants pollinate male to female, animals reproduce male and female. Maybe the dinosaurs turned gay. I don’t know, but I have never seen gay animals.
Abortion is murder, plain and simple. To all the supporter’s I ask: “Do you wish you had been aborted?” If you answer yes and you think life sucks’ you can solve that at any time you choose it to end. If you answered no, then show the unborn the same respect. Again, this is not a religious issue, but an issue of responsibility. If you are responsible with your body there is no reason for abortion. I find it very ironic that the same people who support abortion are against animal testing, logging of forests, and capital punishment. They will fight for a trees’ right to grow, yet abort a human life. The soul who was destined to cure cancer, bring world peace, or explain the unknown was probably aborted.
Now about Kerry and Bush….more on that later. (THINK)

A time to say thank you!

This Memorial Day we should be thankful. My flag has flown all weekend, as always, as yours should too. I have watched the television shows as the World War 2 memorial was opened. It is about time and long over due. The Greatest Generations sacrifice was unreal. Most volunteered to fight a war far from home, to free less fortunate people from harsh dictatorship. Over 400,000 lives were lost. Many never to return to the homeland again, buried on foreign soil. My Pap-paw and four uncles made this sacrifice. All returned home safe, but with many scars. All of them were decorated with medals, but they never spoke of it. One uncle won the Silver Star. His family found this out after he was home because it was printed in the local newspaper. He never bragged about it, He never asked for a thank you. I asked him about it not long before he passed away; “I never wanted a thank you, or a medal, it was an honor and a privilege to serve with such great men. To help the less fortunate and provide safety and freedom over evil dictators”
Today we are at war, in a country far away. Most volunteered to fight a war far from home, to free less fortunate people from harsh dictatorship. I wonder will these men come home with the same attitudes as the WW2 vets? I hope so. Will they never ask for a thank you and wait over 50 years for a tribute? Will we judge them on the acts of a few bad prison guards?
Like it or not, people in Iraq are better off. Children are not starving and women are not so badly oppressed. That is what Americans do and my friends that is a lot to be proud of. Yes, we should all say THANK YOU!
