Is this me?

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Most people have a childhood hero that they looked up to. Just about anyone that knows me, should know that I was/am a Superman fan. I ran across an article that supposedly reveals a lot about a man’s personality depending on the superhero he idolizes. Does any of that sound like me?

Who he worships: Superman
What it reveals: Superman is the quintessential “nice guy” — he’s loyal, believes that people are inherently good, and is always ready to save the day. A guy who digs the Man of Steel usually has the same traits. So, while you may not need your man to save you from a burning building, he’ll love it if you ask for his advice or help in mini-crisis — whether it’s changing a flat or settling you down after a fight with a pal. In other words? Score! But his desire to rescue people might not stop with you. He’s the type to fill his days helping his mom and doing favors for friends. If you feel like his time is monopolized by being a little too good to others, just pipe up and he’ll be responsive.

Pappy

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

People lose family members every day in this world. A year ago, yesterday (7-7-07) I lost a special person who meant a great deal to a lot of people. His name is JC but I knew him as Pappy.

His death meant more to me than anyone before. He was a man who would give you that hand up to anyone who needed it, even at the sacrifice of him having to go without. I learned a tremendous amount about life from him even though I didn’t realize it. Above all, he showed me what hard work is. I remember mowing lawns and washing dishes with this man, and I will always cherish those memories.

A trip to Nashville, numerous fishing trips, and his gray Dodge pickup are all things I remember about him. We worked hard but man did we have some fun in the meantime. He could talk your ear off on any subject and now I wish he was here to talk about anything. In later years, we lost contact but that doesn’t mean I loved him any less and the same for his love. I hope I was a grandson that made him proud. I love you Pappy.

The Light

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Have you ever found a musician you latched onto that you enjoyed their entire catalog of music? Well, a musician and guitar player by the name of John Mayer is that artist in my life. The man can play a guitar and play it well. But it’s not only his guitar skills that impress me, it’s his connection with the fans who enjoy his music. He knows where his money comes from and gives back with interaction. He updates a personal blog regularly and of course has many sites dedicated to him. Just a few short months ago, my wife and I joined him and numerous musicians he invited on a cruise to the Bahamas. Dubbed ‘The Mayercraft Carrier‘, it was an experience like no other. Awesome music, an enjoyable cruise, tons of people who enjoy John’s music as much as we do! We are already signed up for the next one!

I’ve enjoyed JM since the release of the album ‘Room for Squares’. With his most recent release, ‘Where The Light Is’, JM puts up an impressive set of the work he’s been doing since that first album. If you enjoy blues, rock, pop, acoustic, or just good music, check his latest offering out. “Ya owe it to yourself” - JM

WALL·E

WALL E

Took the girls to see ‘WALL·E’ with some friends and the girls loved it. They are still quoting all the little sounds the different robots make. A really great movie even with very little dialogue. All the characters are great, my favorite being ‘Mo’. If you haven’t seen it and enjoyed Pixar’s other movies, this will not disappoint.

“WWWWAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL EEEEEEE”
