Today’s MUST READ re: US Healthcare
Triple Venti caught me off guard with this one. I have to process it. In the meantime, you should read it!
While on the job one day, I got caught in gunfire in a not very good neighborhood, and got hit in the head. … The insurance company that handled my workman’s compensation claim decided that since there was nothing life threatening about the bullet, they denied the hospital the ability to perform surgery to remove it. … Fast forward 20 years, I still have that projectile embedded there … [Source]

Student: My choices always seem wrong.
Master: There is no right or wrong. It’s just a choice.
Never the popular kid!
Ha ha. I just looked at The Blue Sloth’s twitter page. Phillip is like a sports car. 0-65 (friends) in no time flat. And 7 of them are guys! My beat up clunker has been in the slow lane followed by my 16 awesome friends! So how is it that this witty, stay-at-home dad, wonderful husband and awesome artist garnishes so much popularity so quickly? Simple! He looks awesome with no shirt! That and he is a witty, stay-at-home dad, wonderful husband and awesome artist. If you don’t read The Blue Sloth, you should. I think I need to go exercise…
Old People are so Schtooopid
Apparently my children really do not understand what I do. As I looked over my son’s recent changes to his blog, he took it upon himself to explain, "The 3s are backwards Es, the @ is an A and the 5s are Ss." I wonder if I should tell him about blue boxing and phreaking.
Insight #8 Into Understanding Women comes from Knoxville!
Guys spend an enormous amount of time trying to understand women. At some point, you get married and have that ah-ha moment when you realize that really it is impossible to understand women and all those years you wasted trying to understand women you could have been watching football. It is at that moment in time that the man generally quits talking to his wife. It isn’t that he has gained wisdom and come to terms that life will be much happier if you just listen to your woman and respond only with "yes dear" to everything that she says. That’s just a fortunate side effect. He is stunned and depressed into silence over the coming to terms with the quantity of football that was missed during his hapless pursuit.
Happy 4th of July
Yesterday we celebrated America. Yes, we celebrate the 4th of July on the 3rd of July each year as West Park Baptist Church puts on their Celebrate America fireworks display. Each year I juggle for the crowd. This year the church could not contact me because Cingular/AT&T has my (865) 382-3080 number not working correctly. So they went searching the Internet for me. Hmmm. I am who I am but I also post creative writing and humor on the Internet that I would probably be more candid about in person. Always takes me back a bit when someone says, "I saw your blog." I always feel like responding, "Cool. Do you still like me?" Guess I need to re-read why I blog.
This year I was fortunate enough to have 2 other jugglers join me. They are exceptionally skilled and we were able to jump right into passing clubs including passing around volunteers despite having not juggled together for the better part of a year! They have such potential! I would really enjoy juggling with them on a regular basis and pushing the limits of our skills. Of course, life gets in the way but we still have these great moments.
The children had a blast on the inflatable toys. I enjoyed the juggling but still feel like I didn’t give the other jugglers enough lime light. Fire was tossed! Tommy was in charge of Molly the girl magnet. Molly did not enjoy the fireworks but got through them. Noah and Phillip found similarly aged friends and enjoyed having free run of the festival. Everyone had a blast! Pun intended.
Twitter SOS
I’m looking over my recent Twitter messages and I see " Lost in the mountains about 16 hours ago"
. I imagine the 911 call would go like this:
Me: A friend is lost in the mountains.
911: Which mountains.
Me: I don’t know. We need to notify the rescue squad.
911: How do you know he is missing.
Me: I saw it on the Internet.
911: Sir, you cannot believe everything you read on the Internet. If he is lost in the mountains, how did he get a message on th e Internet?
Me: Bearnet duh! He used his phone!
911: See, he’s not lost in the mountains. Everybody knows that cell phones don’t work in the mountains!
Me: Good point.
