Yup, if you listen now, you will get to hear something that no one else has heard yet.
But they will and it makes me proud of the job I have.
I get to help people during the year and make lifelong friends!

I resolve to write more and stop hiding from those who wish to destroy me. I resolve to admit when I’m wrong more often and I resolve to try and be more fiscally conservative with my limited funds so that I can afford to do more things that I have always dreamed of, but never done. I resolve to take more pictures, document my life better and be a great father, husband and friend.
Just the American Dream.

Thanks for the calls and offers of help, but offers of help are meaningless if they are based on convenience.
Today has been filled with calls from friends and people who have heard the news of the passing of my grandmother.
“Is there anything I can do for you Sean?”
Why yes there is…
But after explanation…
“Well, I wish I could, but I have (insert excuse of choice here).”
If you are offering to help, help. If you want me to listen to you babble when you are down, listen to me when I need you.
Life isn’t convenient.
There have been many times that my life has been inconvenienced by someone who needed me, and I left without question. I said yes sir, yes ma’am. I did it without question.
But that’s the type of guy I am.
I’ve asked for help. I’ve begged for help.
and I am without help.
So I will help myself, my wife will help me and others who I don’t even need to ask , just give the nod and they are there, will help.
And to those who gave excuses, be prepared for excuses when you call me.
Life is ever changing.
I seem to make changes in my life all the time after death experiences.
After my sister died, I went back to college.
After my grandfather died, I dedicated myself to my career in radio.
After my brother died, I dedicated myself to finding myself.
After I had a meningitis and was in the hospital hallucinating about my sister and brother pulling me up to heaven, I dedicated myself to the Lord.
I think I need a change in my life.
Some people may not like the change.
But in the words of my father “Fuck em and feed em fishsticks!”

There are plenty of things going on in my life, I’ve just had to hold down the fort because of people who’ve been reading the blog that I really don’t need to read it. So better to be safe than sorry.
Joanna and I went out and got a cheap <$50 pool and decided that this year would be the year that we would entertain more and use our spacious backyard. That was 3 weeks ago.
And we actually have had two get togethers and the end result was getting some tiki torches for this Memorial Day weekend. BEST $6 spent ever. No bugs, cool water, and I cooked burgers / brats and hot dogs.
Sometimes the best things are just the two of us though and we have spent many a day after work in the pool just talking rather than getting hung up on bills or the tv.
Just enjoying the outside, planting flowers and working on making our house even better. This weekend I installed a new light in the back porch and I think it looks nice.
The only bad thing of the last couple of weeks is that my trusty camera, the one who recorded alcanthang falling, my kidsbirths etc finally died a painful death.
So I’m looking for a new camera. I’m thinking that my new goal should be a SLR, but which one to buy that balances quality with cost.
I’ve been working with a writing group , each of us has a screenplay, book or website that we are trying to help each other with. Sometimes a new and different view helps out. Just the other day all I said was a simple idea and I could see the light bulb go off in my friend’s head and off she went to write.
Jo’s book is still in formulative stages. I’d like her to write some of her thoughts down, but she is stressed at work. Sometimes going into work is hard, but we always hope that we win the lottery some day (I actually have to buy a ticket for this recessive tax to win, but one day I will.)
I’ve played some poker and backed a horse which has done me well this year so far. (Mom, no I don’t have a horse, it’s just, never mind. )
I’m forcing myself to write more because if I start to write here I might have a shot of not just defeating everyone elses writers block , but my own as well.
I’ve got a couple of pounds to drop, sometimes enjoying wedded bliss is one thing but the way my wife cooks is SINFUL. So I’m going to continue my dropping of use of sodas and watching portion size so when it’s all said and done I’m healthy.
The kids are fine, and I’m working on the final arrangements for getting the kids for this summer. I can hardly wait.
Sometimes I sit on the porch and just watch the sun set each day. I think in running around so much I’ve missed a bunch.
My friend Kelli eliminated an item on her bucket list, jumping out of a plane this weekend. She asked me what was on my bucket list. I told her I wasn’t ready to die just yet.
“You never know when it will happen,” and it hit me as she said it and seeing some of my former high school classmates die suddenly that I need to prepare for anything. But I still have my list to write.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll share with you the list, as I check em off.

When our hero last left you, he was dealing with the staple sites becoming infected. "Oh yes, Sean, I have you now. I will make you itch and miserable. BRING ON THE PUS AND BLOOD!" "Now wait a min, I've been miserable, 5 years worth, and I don't think you can do this ole Satan!" I laughed at him. Now in hindsight, laughing at Satan and trying to go a weekend with infected staple sites wasn't the best idea.
