    Life Is a Puzzle

    ya I get that feeling sometimes. But really I have all that i ever wanted except for a garage w/ many cars and trucks. I always wanted that girl-I got her, and we always wanted a kid and I have that too. MY health is not that great right now but I'm not in a hospital so I guess I'm doing alright. Try to think about what life would be like w/ out what you do have. Now that would be a void impossible to fill.

    about 6 labatts-

    j/k-My Anne and Chloe(wifey and daughter)

    Knowing that we have it pretty good-we can go to a store and get bread and milk to feed our children w/ out the general fear of bombs coming in our way. Yet after recent events this may becoming less and less true-but still think HIM(I'm not a huge religous person but you have to believe in some thing eh?) every day for the life he has giving me. Even though it at times has been rough and difficult w/ deep valleys-it also has had its good times and greatest peaks.

    Life Is a Puzzle

    he wasn't a perfect man
    by any means
    but a man
    he was

    A mentor
    a leader
    a shoulder
    to cry on
    soothing my fears and pains

    He would rub my back
    when i was ill
    he wasn't always there
    and when he was
    i was often gone

    I thought he was
    superman
    he told me
    he was proud
    of me

    as he watches from above
    casually swinging
    a golf club
    he guides me
    gently pushing

    one more fishing trip
    one more round of golf
    one more talk about money
    one more beer
    and a football game

    I hope you are
    catching the biggest fish
    hitting the staightest 9 iron
    taking it easy
    and keeping an eye on us

    three years
    go so fast
    i miss you
    words cannot
    say how much

    tears fill my eyes
    I'm a sensitive guy
    you would always say
    how right you are
    RIP Pops

    “Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practices. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failur”

    thank you, my dear sweet friend and sis.....as soon as my head stops spinning? I will repack my gear bag and seek a more direct path to that meadow. I fear however, that my sense of humor has been damaged to the point of no repair.

    You strike me as someone who is completely capable of climbing back up, dusting yourself off and skipping towards the flower covered meadow...

    No more falling. :P

    Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life

    Cabin's "I Was Here" Lyrics. Get their CD's. Fabulous

    So young and full of sparks

    That feeling’s wearing off

    They're few and far between the fractions

    Keep focus, stay on track

    Straight ahead and don't look back

    Nothing to see here but distractions

    Don't set your aim so far

    You'll end up right back where you are

    You need more mistakes to find direction



    Believe you're good for something still

    Though you hide the something well

    You'll be running on empty soon

    What the hell has got into you

    Through what ever I'm by your side

    We'll stick together, we'll be all right



    Throw out the plan you had

    That shape who you'd become instead

    The consequence of all your actions

    Throw caution to the breeze

    Make some love or make believe

    What you can do with your ambition

    Live life to leave your mark

    I was here, when you were not

    Just make a mess of what you're given
