Weak Week!

Wow what a week it has been already! I have been dodging curveballs since Sunday. Beginning with the Cowboys' inexcusable loss to the Rams to the uncanny trip to the ER on Sunday night, to the terrifying event of my wife passing out in the hospital, to an old lady banging into my car and to the sleepless nights when Jay woke up every hour it has been quite a ride. It is amazing how much the human body gets used to things going fine and dandy. But suddenly, things go a little crazy and thats it! Your whole world seems to be falling apart. But you know what, thank God for crazy days, it makes you appreciate the not so crazy days even better! It's all good!

Peace!

Welcome Roy!

Jerry Jones has done it again! His quest to win the Superbowl is now an obsession. And I am down with that! With Roy Williams joining TO, the franchise has become an offensive powerhouse. Not to mention Felix Jones, Patrick Crayton, Jason Witten & Miles Austin who have been excellent performers as well. So, now all we need is a healthy team to go all the way. And word is that Romo is considering playing this weekend. I think the excitement is getting to everybody. Oh well, no complaints there, as long as we win. I know defense wins games, but with an offense like this, dude, who cares?? GO BOYS!

Approval????

Did you know that President George W. Bush holds the highest approval rating record with 92% and also the lowest approval rating record, at 19%? Come on y'all make up your mind!

Peace!

Gin Soaked Boy

I bumped into this song this week. I think it was released in 2000 by Divine Comedy. Anyways I thought it was interesting and it did bring some memories back. Check it out!

I'm the darkness in the light
I'm the leftness in the right
I'm the rightness in the wrong
I'm the shortness in the long
I'm the goodness in the bad
I'm the saneness in the mad
I'm the sadness in the joy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy

I'm the ghost in the machine
I'm the genius in the gene
I'm the beauty in the beast
I'm the sunset in the east
I'm the ruby in the dust
I'm the trust in the mistrust
I'm the trojan horse in troy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy

I'm the tigers empty cage
I'm the mysterys final page
I'm the strangers lonely glance
I'm the heros only chance
I'm the undiscovered land
I'm the single grain of sand
I'm the christmas morning toy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy

I'm the world you'll never see
I'm the slave you'll never free
I'm the truth you'll never know
I'm the place you'll never go
I'm the sound you'll never hear
I'm the course you'll never steer
I'm the will youll not destroy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy

I'm the half-truth in the lie
I'm the why not in the why
I'm the last roll of the die
I'm the old school in the tie
I'm the spirit in the sky
I'm the catcher in the rye
I'm the twinkle in her eye
I'm Jeff Goldblum in the fly

Well, who am I?

Peace!

What's up with that?

Hey, have you ever wondered why people always complain about time flying fast and about getting older, while they actually cant wait for the week to get over and the weekend to come by real fast! What's up with that?????

7 Years....

I cant believe it has been seven years to the day, since the horrible attacks on America! I was on a project in Arizona and I had just gotten to work, when everybody was talking about a plane that had crashed into a building. Then slowly news emerged of another plane crashing and that it was a terrorist attack. I ran back to my hotel room and turned on the TV. And there I saw the ghastly site of 2 planes crashing into the WTC. And it was even more terrible to watch the towers just crumble down like a pack of cards. I will never forget that day. Although I was miles and miles away from NYC, I felt the impact. The impact was ofcourse not short lived. It was felt for many days, weeks and years to come. And not to mention the "random" checks in the airport, every time I flew, which was quite frequent back then. Always wondered why they even called it "random". :) We lost a lot of priveleges that day, and things will never be the same again. On September 11th 2001, the world had changed as we know it! Wars have been fought since then, lives have been lost and families separated. But has any of these made the world a safer place to live in?

Peace!

Time...

When in the mall, I sometimes see a family of 5 or more and I used to wonder, wow, that is nice. But since I have "a" son of my own, it only makes me feel sorry for them. Truly, I just have no clue how they manage so many kids. Here I have one son and barely have time to do anything for myself. There are books unfinished, goals unreached and projects undone. All because I just cant find time to do anything. Heck, I dont even have the time to post a decent entry on my blog. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy every moment I spend with my son. But the fact is, finding time to do anything has become a mammoth effort. Since I took charge of rocking Jay back to sleep everytime he wakes up in the night, I have been sleep-deprived as well. And since D works pretty much every evening of the week and not to mention the occasional weekend stints too, I am forced with very little time in my hands. And it does get to me sometimes. But again, when I try to do something on my own, like a basketball game with the guys or something like that, I am suddenly engulfed with this great sense of guilt, that I come back running home as soon as I can. It is quite a struggle within. It is crazy man. I am learning to deal with this situation and I crave for an extra portion of grace, wisdom and patience from our good Lord. So all you folks with more than 2 kids, kudos to you. You are my hero!

Peace!
