I truly cannot do anything right, no matter how hard I try. There are times I want to just give up and say forget it. It feels like the weight gets deeper every day and the directions to act get harder and harder. What do I do? Why is this happening?
Feelings Inventory:
Wrong
Worthless
Pain
Fear
Doubt
Mourning
Clouded
Hurting
Facade
I dont want to feel this way anymore. I dont want to hurt someone everytime I take an action. I cannot get it right. I cannot please everyone. I cannot please myself. I cannot fix this.

I'm lucky because it only took me about 25 years to figure it out. I knew what love was the day I met my would be wife. <br />
Now, I'm not saying that I don't learn more about what love is every day. She shows me new ways to express love and new ways to make love stronger.<br />
Love is....
Being at my side when I am happy....
Sitting back and listening to my sorrows... even if they are my own fault....
Being my biggest fan... even when I am not that fanworthy...
Cuddling next to me watching a movie only I can love.....
Kissing me all over when I feel sad....
Giving the best "wife" in the world.....
Enjoying my toys as much as her own....
Liking my family even when they don't always deserve it....
Liking me when I don't deserve it....
Dropping her own needs for our kids so much when they don't have it coming....
Caring for animals that depend on her for everything in life....
Getting more excited about a newly bloomed plant than a bursting bank account....
Having that glow as I walk up to her that lets me know she is mine.
I love you babe. You are the best woman a man could hope for and better than any woman a man can dream up.
Happy Valentines Day. May this year be filled with budding trees, blooming flowers, and over-filled vines!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551880467473603224.post-38314865670181910002013-01-30T09:42:00.001-06:002013-01-30T09:42:43.024-06:00Love and AppreciationI just want to say today how much I love my girl. We had a sad loss yesterday but my girl was an amazing blessing. <br />
She is so strong. She is so passionate. She is so loving. I could not make it through the hard times in life without her. <br />
Our life is blessed by the ones we choose to care for in life. I am so lucky to take this journey with her. <br />
I love you infinitely. <br />
ANFUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551880467473603224.post-49351035631646640752012-11-29T10:55:00.001-06:002012-11-29T11:13:13.501-06:00WasteI am far from perfect. I am not a writer...as you can see.. But.... Our society is full of waste, stupidity, and laziness It is all around us. Cars that cost $50,000 that should be $20,000 (and will probably be re-selling for $5000 within a couple of years....), clothes that are $100 or more per piece, homes that cost twice what they are worth........... This list can go on and on. Why does it continue to get worse in the U.S.? Why does the sentiment of entitlement get stronger every year?<br />
<br />
To me, the answer is simple. The answer is captured so well in the movie Idiocracy. If you have not seen it, I suggest you do. It is silly, but it is sadly true. This society is dumbing down every day. Television is simply horrible. One cannot even watch the History Channel or Discovery without being bombarded by fake "reality" programs. Our children are learning all they need to know from Spongebob...... <br />
<br />
People do not care to self educate. They long for the days of the "Matrix" where intelligence will simply be downloaded. They refuse to take ownership for their choices. They refuse to work for what they want. I am tired of hearing... " if they can have it, I deserve it too!" some are born with wealth, others work hard to attain it. We all have the opportunity, save the truly disabled. I have seen people with major challenges overcome and become successful.<br />
<br />
I worry about this country's future. The worry has NOTHING to do with politics and everything to do with medias control over the minds of the masses. I love good movies and tv but I am about to say enough. Even commercials are dumbing down more every day. If you do not get offended regularly by the portrayal of mankind in commercials, you might need to evaluate your own intelligence. <br />
<br />
I would love a mass media outlet that did not pander to the lazy, mindless subculture that is taking over this country....<br />
<br />
Anyway...I won't fix anything here today. Just find it better to get it out, rather than build up the frustration. <br />
<br />
Good luck USA.... No... Good luck world.....<br />

I do not usually do a good job of telling people that, but I really need to. My life has been filled with blessing, and made stronger through trials. I was blessed with wonderful family and a strong upbringing. I am blessed with an enchanted life, fulfilled dreams, and an incredible partner. <br />
<br />
My wife is everything a man could ask for in life. She is smart, beautiful, loving, and passionate. She is the full package. I love her more than I tell her and need her more than she will admit.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone has something to be thankful for this year that touches their heart enough to share it with others.<br />
<br />
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.<br />

I woke up in a warm bed beside my loving and beautiful wife. I had a safe car to drive to my rewarding job.. I have a super evening to look forward too with an awesome home cooked meal and that same loving wife!
I am a lucky man. I am thankful for a hard work ethic and a drive to succeed that has led me to the life I lead.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551880467473603224.post-1864029188152720552012-11-13T18:12:00.002-06:002012-11-13T18:12:30.265-06:00EntitlementWhat is it that makes so many people in our society believe they are entitled to anything? It is as if they believe they should have the same things as others regardless of their own attempt to earn these same things. I come from a family that worked hard to earn every thing they have. No government handout. No benefits on the backs of others. Unemployed meant you found odd jobs to pay the bills, not that you went and stood in line for benefits. We learned to live WITHIN our means and to work and save if we wanted something else.
It is not the place of the government to supply us with anything but basic law, defense and infrastructure. Government should not be providing or dictating our daily life. That should be up to the individual. Your rights stop where mine start. Your entitlements should not come in the form of a tax on my hard earned paycheck.
The wonderful Mr. Obama already cost me health coverage which I had worked hard to get as my employer is dropping it to allow me to take advantage of the wonderful new options that will be available... aka more money out of my pocket....so more unmotivated people can "get theirs".
I honestly could care less who the president is. I care how deep they try to interfere in my life and paycheck in the form of "social benefits".
Lazy people of the world, get a damn job. Study in school like I did. I never expected anything from teachers, I studied and sought out information on my own. I started working at 16 officially and worked for years before that on a cash basis.
Get good grades. Learn a trade. Work YOURSELF through college like I did. If it is too late for that, it is your own fault, live with it. Stop stealing my paycheck to provide for those I went to school with that made fun of those of us who studied, ridiculed my choice to work at 16 rather than play sports or spend weekends drinking myself stupid and those people that never worked hard but wanted to be hired into a position because they deserved it.
Anyway, this will never change. It will get worse. Society sucks. When will they be selling tickets to go live on the moon??

I again realized that I have the absolute hottest wife in the world. The thing is, she is not only physically beautiful, but she has the hottest attitude and sexiest mind you can imagine.
I hope she always loves me. I know I will always love her. I hate the times in life she is not filled with all the happiness she deserves. This world is her oyster. One its pearl will be made known.
She deserves it. I love my gal.... sorry to all of you out there who have lesser ladies... even those who sadly think their wife is better...

Even though they probably do every day. <br />
<br />

My wife is my best friend in the whole world. She loves me pretty much unconditionally,which I do not deserve, clearly.
She takes care of me, our home, our family, and all living things under our care. She takes care of my body with food and clothes, spirit with support, and my heart with love. She is an angel I do not deserve.
I am in trials right now, as are most people. Do I understand them? No. Do I love being tested? No. Will I do my best to make it out on the other side without losing it? I will try.
I am so tired of dealing with dishonest people in this world, those that are truly willing to sell their soul for a short term perceived gain. The sad part is that these people are not becoming an overnight billionaire by selling out others, they just get to feel a temporary heightening of their own self worth.
What is it with this world that we must cause others pain or see others in pain to feel better about ourselves? I never want to be that person. I despise those people with all of my heart.
Why do some politicians work hard to uphold the truth to only have others create a name of evil and dishonesty? Why is it always the guy that holds himself out as a family values guy that is the worst?
A day of reckoning will come for all of the dishonest evil doers. I just dont ever want to find myself in that lineup.
God give me the strength to hold on to truth and what is right despite the evil that is all around me.

My own mother was a blessing to grow up with and she is a good friend to have in your corner. <br />
My wife, the most beautiful woman in the world, is the most amazing mother in the world. <br />
She loves her girls more than life itself. She spent hours doing hair, fixing nails, primping, brushing teeth, and scrubbing behind ears. <br />
She wanted nothing more than for her girls to look beautiful and act beautiful as well. <br />
She was never to busy to stop her work and drop everything to play. It didn't matter if it was Barbies, pollypocket, dolls, house, puppet shows, or the ever amazing presentations of pure entertainment. <br />
She taught them to appreciate nature. No teasing animals was allowed. They were made to feel like queens of the Earth on the regular mud monster days as she made fresh puddles for play. <br />
They loved the pre-mothers day shopping. Clothes, beauty things, garden stuff, cooking stuff, and more was all on the list. <br />
The most important part of this day was the breakfast in bed. They couldn't wait to make crazy meals and sneak them to her. <br />
I look forward to seeing all the great things they will do for her as grown women when they get wise enough to realize what they have. <br />
I love my girls. I love my wife. I wish her the best mothers day, filled with memories, fun, and love.

I then enjoy an old episode of rifleman.... this is going to be a good day...<br />
The weather is beautiful, the perfect opportunity to ride my motorcycle to work! Fresh air and gas savings! Yeah... this is going to be a good dat...I have to get my helmet from the garage so I decide to give a cheerful good morning to my bird..... this is where things started to turn.... He let out an awful scream and bit me so hard my finger turned purple... it can still be a good day...<br />
I kissed my babe goodbye and headed out the door.....<br />
At this point, with my helmet on... I began to smell that oh so wonderful smell of a nasal infection... reallY?!?! On such a beautiful day??<br />
As I drove on... I noticed my gas light flashing.. of course it is at least 6 miles to the nearest station... God please let me make it...<br />
Things were looking up when as I topped the hilll, there it was... the school bus of SATAN! Really? Is there a kid at every house? Can they not all walk to one stop like city kids? Do you have to make a separate stop at evert house and wait for the little lazy slw moving boogers to get off their butt and walk to the bus?<br />
After 10 minutes to go one mile... all the while watching the fuel light blink... I finally got to a gas station......made it... this can still be a good day...<br />
Then it happened again... time to get back on the road and a bus in EVERY direction!!! Seriously people!!!!'<br />
I finally espcaped the bus patrol after another painful mile and at least another 5 minutes...<br />
This was sooooo annoying.... Then, just when I was about to give up hope of a good day.... I saw them!<br />
A whole family of turkeys standing on the side of the road as if they were waiting for me all morning! One looked like my old buddy from the farm anf he had a couple of beautiful ladies with him! One was a solid white turkey!! BEAUTIFUL! So I book ended my morning with beauty. <br />
I have decided... it will be a good day!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551880467473603224.post-12663882322667064002012-04-15T12:12:00.001-05:002012-04-15T12:12:14.957-05:00I love my girlShe is cute.

Make me laugh today, Make yourself laugh today. Laughter is an awesome antidote for sickness.<br />
<br />
Why do so many people refuse to be happy in life? Why do so many people get caught up in anger and hostility? Why all the greed?<br />
<br />
Well, I am avoiding that at all cost from now on. I want smiles. I want laughter. I want to be thankful for the blessings I have today. Seize the day!<br />

I found a best friend that is smoking hot. She has the sweetest heart. She gives love and support to everyone that needs it. <br />
She is incredible. I could never do enough to repay her for everything she has brought into my life. <br />

This goes on in personal lives, church lives, workplaces, and the general public.<br />
<br />
Why is it that people cannot see their own problems before they so rampantly point out others'? Why is it that people project their faults onto others? We all do it, but why? <br />
<br />
Maturity.. what is this elusive concept? I think the people who use it, have no idea what it is. My mind is awash with frustration about dealing with some people in my daily life. I just want to go to work, put in a hard day of production, and go home to my loving wife.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I am surrounded by people who really have no idea what is going on but they have a position of authority to abuse others upon. These people need a serious adjustment. Anyway, enough of this for today.<br />
<br />
People will not change and I will never stop being annoyed by them......Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551880467473603224.post-35833903627412128732012-02-07T17:26:00.001-06:002012-02-07T17:26:25.088-06:00My GirlIs the best in the world.

I have some very nice cars that I worked hard to rebuild and or restore. These are not status symbols I have purchased to rub in the faces of others and take 4 spaces in a parking lot.<br />
<br />
I do however try to park far away from other cars, especially at the worlds worst place... Walmart. I never take more than once spot. Inevitably, I come outside to find one of the most beat up cars within inches of my car with hundreds of other, and closer, spaces available. Seriously?<br />
<br />
Are you that miserable in your life that you get kicks out of things like this? Does it make you feel better about your choices that have resulted in your lot in life?<br />
<br />
I am getting so tired of working hard only to have a third of my check go to taxes, seeing the people in line in front of me use food stamps to purchase things I cannot due to being a good steward of finances, seeing people I know live off of the system and others while blaming society for THEIR bad choices.... okay... this could go on for a while....<br />
<br />
I am worried about tomorrow. I am worried about today. The hard working people of years gone by have faded into history. We now have a society of YOU OWE ME and IF I CANT HAVE IT NEITHER CAN YOU!<br />
<br />
These ideas really worked out for the USSR, Hitler, and others..... Wake up people. Work for what you want. Appreciate what you have. Stop being bitter about what others own that you do not. Stop blaming everyone else for everything. There are some things that others cause.... but not EVERYTHING!!<br />
