Working out...
I went out today and bought some used 25# iron plates that I needed for my weight set. I went down in to my basement and started to lift weightsin the early evening . My four year old came down and wanted to play. Well, that not what I need while throwing aroung alot of iron. I did let him sit away from me on the washing maching and count Daddys reps as I was lifting. Later I realized that I did but him a 1# dumbell - Its rubber covered so shouldnt hurt anything unless he throws it. I had him following my shoulder press. and curls. It kept a smile on me during the work out and actually helped me lift more. I guess I did not want to look bad in front of my boy. Afterword I scooped him up in my arms and we had supper. It was a good day with the boys. I wish that my work schedual allowed me more time inthe evening to see them. I get home between 830 and 1030 pm so they are in bed by the time i get there. But today was a treat. Some day those two are going to out lift their old man. just not today...
Night all ....

Maybe its the weather....
I know I have SAD. Its not a major case but Iknow I am effected my the dark. Its the lack of day light that effects my mood. This time of your it can get pretty bad for me. It does not help that I work primarily an evening shift at work. I start at 10:30/11am and work til 9/10 pm. So I only see the Sun for a few hours each day. Usually less than other people. I used to use full spectrum light bulbs , just havent ran out and bought em this year. I've been working out like crazy latley lifting and running to help elevate my "good" hormones. It seems to help a little. The bad part is that I do this after everybody is sleeping say 10-11pm so now Im wired and up till 1 pm. No big deal I guess. Soon the Sun will rise earlier and set later. Maybe its the weather...... http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/health/kabc_012405_hs_depressing.html

Queensryche
I went to the House of blues last night to see Queensryche. I had a ball. The crowd was what I expeced - late 20's to mid 30's old heavy metal heads. God I loved metal back in the day. My first concert was Iron Maiden in 1982 for the number of the beast tour. But last night was quite fun. Great sound. They did the whole OPERATION MINDCRIME cd. It was/is a comcept album that its very scary to do today in the Era of Bush 2.0 and his Homeland security. The album is one where the homeless are brainwahed and given drugs. They are used to kiss political and religious figures across the nation. -- The stage show had actors a story line on huge screen wheel chairs. Im all it was a great time except that I paid $8 for a pack of smokes... man I was raped. I only smoke when I drink or in celebration when I sell a car (kind post coital). So with a show going on and beers in hand I needed one. but $8 thats such a rip... and yet like an ass I paid. --- Whats your first concert? Just asking for fun.....

damn its cold outside
Part of my job is working out side.No big deal I actually enjoy it. The air , sun and of course the snow and rain as well. I know I should not complain its not like working construction or directing traffic. But today it was damn cold outside. I know that ALL of you hate getting in to a cold car and driving it somewhere. Today we at work had to move lines of cars to be sure they started for our clients. So it was starting a cold car the driving it to a new spot. Leaving it and jumping in to a new cold car. - Pain in the ass-- You knew that car would not warm up before the next car. Its the one thing I know that people hate doing and yet I was doing it today while I waited for an appointment. --- Stay warm everybody.
PS so many blog changes... the blog ladies in my life are changing gears on me. SOme dropping their blogs others just changing (for the better). Either way I enjoy reading a small part of your beautiful minds. Now thats sexy! A smart lady -- meow wow.

Touch
Its funny how a simple call can change your life. A small smile can change your mind. The smallest caress of a hand can turn your world upside down. The sweetest kiss can make your heart swell . Its funny how you can have such feelings for someone only to have to bite your lip and move on. Sometimes its for the best or best for that time. They know.
Its the could haves , would have and should haves that can crush a person in to dust. I have no regrests. I have memories that I will cherish, always. I have a secret smile that I will share. If this rambleling note makes no sense don't worry about it. Its my drifting thoughts.

PORN.....
Ever go looking for porn lately? Not on the internet, you can find that inside of .05 seconds. Im not talking about a video either. With some looking you can still find a Mom and Pop shop that rents it. Forget about the Hollywoodmegablockbuster store the best they do is a hard R. Its weird , I had friends that lived in the City. I used to go w/ my friend Mark and go drive , grab a burrito and some Porn mags (mind you this was pre - internet). The Mags would be in a three pack so he would keep 2 and give me one for driving.
One time he gave me some money to grab a pack from the news-stand. I run up and only see the title OVER 40. I assumed it was bust size over 40 in. SO I grabbed that and ran back to the car and tossed it to Mark. He open it up with wild abandon. He shreeked in horror when over 40 was indeed over 40 years old. By that I mean most ly over 55 or more wrinkled granny types. Inside a second and a half it was tossed out the window and on to the streets.
I went out looking for a magazine to give to a friend for Christmas (and a bag of cheese popcorn ((long story))). I stopped in a 7/11 -nothing. I ran to a drug store (in my youth they sold them there) - Nothing. Finially I had to run to an old Arab run liquor store. They had magazine porn. Again another weird thing. Arabs , nothing against them on a personal level , but why do they run liquor stores? The religion prohibits them tasting their wares. I know I used to sell booze for a living. It would be like a Jewish Rabbi selling SPAM or working a shellfish stand. But thats another point. This point was that the far suburbs porn is driving underground so far that unless you are looking for airbrushed playboy and the occasional Penthouse you are visiting the old dirty Arab guys. (Like Old dirty bastard but funnier) No liquor but porn , bring it on for those guys. -- its cold outside and im wrapping porn as a christmas present.
Nice -- stay warm everybody!!

Livin a country song......
I've been selling cars for awhile and have heard almost every reason why a person wants a car. Today I recieved a call from a lady who "Wants a car so I can leave my man". I chuckled as I helped her, but also felt really sorry for her. Trapped , with no way out..

Discipline of steel
I used to read Henry Rollins backin the day. His coffee fueled poems and rants I quite enjoyed. He wrote once of the Discipline of Steel. He was writing about weight lifting. When done right using dumbells and bars you have to move in a certain way. Respect the steel. The motion must be done correctly. Not rushed. Done perfectly. If any of these rules are broken you will suffer quickly and harshly. Not from the others , but by the Steel its self. An inanimate object and hurt you or help you. A cold lump od black steel. - Tonight I worked out in my basement. It felt good. Just me and the dumbells. - somthing very old school about it.. Rollins just hit Fourty. Still tattooed still a hard body. Drug free. I hope Im that lucky.
If you get a chance read his stuff. Very enjoyable.

New Clock....
A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night. When they made it to the bedroom, they saw a big brass gong next to the bed."What's a big brass gong doing in your bedroom?" one of the guests asked."It's not a gong. It's a talking clock," the drunk replied. "A talking clock? Seriously?" asked his astonished friend."Yup," replied the drunk."How's it work?" the friend asked, squinting at it."Watch," the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave it an ear-shattering pound, and stepped back. The three stood looking at one another for a moment. Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "You asshole,it's three o'clock in the morning!"---- Thank you folks I'll be here all week . Don't forget to tip your servers......

My Monkey boys....
My wife and I were violently ill last night.. I am blaming bad Indian food, she blames a virus. In the moring I went to work and left after a few hours. She was napping upstairs so I joined her. The two boys were watching Tv . After about an hour I awoke to the sound of water. My wife came down stairs when I hear her say "Oh God!" . I ran downstairs to find it flooded .. The kids had been playing w/ the sprayer from the kitchen sink. EVERYTHING was soaked, the celing, floor, walls tables , both kids..... Everything. The clean up took about two hours. I went in to the basement w/ the wet towels .. water had soaked down stairs ..... Arrrrg . Ive dried I dont know how many loads of towles tonight. Yea they are my monkey boys. Its somthing that I would have done my self at their age. --

Slow down
Well its over. The busiest week in the auto industry is finally over and Im beat, sore , tired. I did the usuall going over my life on Sunday looking forward to the new year. I want to get back in to my old college shape - and possibly learn a new language. But the biggest goal it to be a good dad. I see so much in my two knuclehead sons. Things that I know that I did when I was young as well as things that I did not get to do as a child. As Ive gotten older I have actually gotten along with my sister and my mom and dad better than I ever have before. I think they may see what they have missed doing w/ me and now are having a fun time w/ my own kids along with my sisters son. -- Today I chatted w/ a friend about working out. I have to do it now, no choice in the matter. With two boys I know that one day they will challenge their old man. With my luck they will double team me. -- I need time off from work. I always have extra days off that I never take. I do this every year. Maybe this year I'll actually take my full vacation time. I always feel guilty doing it. --- Peace and remember to slow down ....
