Egads, two in one week??

So I'm sure most of you who even read this get here via Mr. Chad Dupree's website. I'm happy to say that Chad's doing a lot better lately. For most of the time I've known him you could just about sum up Chad's existence as a long depressive streak dotted occasionaly by periods of happiness. I'm happy to say he's starting to turn that around, and it's all in his mindset. Chad finally clicked that button on that made him realize what had to be done to make real change in his life, and the results came almost instantaneously once he embraced that. I'll add also that Chad has always been...again as long as I've known him....one of the most genuinely good people I've ever met. I can't emphasize how good it is to see him really making progress. And it feels even better if I had a part in it in any way, as he says.

On a side and totally unimportant note to most, one of my e-feds closed down this week. Stinks, cuz I really liked this one. But fortunately most of the crew from over there will be heading to my home fed so that's good. There was some really top notch talent over there. It was a shame to see it go.

My wife and I are trying to figure out how to spend some more time together. It's gotten to where we basically see each other in passing as one comes home from work and the other heads out. That does not make for a very exciting marriage. To say it's a strain is an understatement. Don't get me wrong, we're not in trouble here or anything. But it's hard. We definitely have to fix that. It's been a tough year this year both financially and personally. Certain things make you realize the things that are really important.

In other news, I seem to be unable to play a night of basketball without injuring myself. A few weeks ago it was my right wrist. I got that all healed up and went for some more hoops last night after a three week layoff. Lo and behold, as I went in for a beautiful white boy finger roll I became aware that there was a large metal pole holding the goal up under the basket. My right hand....oh yes....the same hand....slammed into it as I tried to avoid it...and now I'm sporting a very sore and painful thumb on said hand. I mean, come one...this is just getting really pathetic. I'm freakin' Grant Hill over here with the injuries....

We won 4 out of 5 games though so that was cool. I kick ass even injured baby!

My daughter is in my lap. She's tied with my wife as the two most beautiful people in the world. Just thought you'd like to know...

Lates....

Yeah I'm posting. What's it to ya??

I'm bored enough to update it, so I guess it's your lucky dizzay. That's right I said it. I said "dizzay". I'm a soul brother, you see.

ANYWAY, so what's going on? Easter just finished up and it was a nice little weekend. Saturday we got the kids' pictures taken with you know who. That was an entertaining experience. Besides the coolness of my kids being that happy, which is always good....and of course they're the best looking kids around.....I found plenty of freakery to laugh at. Apparently it was Amazon's are half off day at the mall because we were in line behind two of the tallest women I've ever seen in my life. No less than 6'6" each I swear. Plus one of them had a daughter who was about 5'5". She was probably eight years old.

Sunday we went to Arlene's grandparents' house. Tons of hispanic people there, some from Mexico for the occasion. Twice someone said "Hey!! Do you remember me?!" and twice I said "Hey!!! No." Good food though. And of course the kids got to look for eggs so that's always good.

Back to work last night and naturally as expected half the staff called in. It's Easter after all. What better time than Easter for a bunch of heathens to pretend like they need a day off for religious reasons so they can go and get drunk and have a barbecue.

Anyhow, I got the night off tonight in protest of their foolishness. I found that especially funny considering I wasn't really put out by it at all. We did however have a bit more work and certain other members of our staff who were there with me last night complained loudly enough I guess. Rock on, negroes.

Til next time.
