Think deep.

  • Bad Dad

    I am trying to work. Evan comes downstairs carrying a game CD and a case for Mart Kart Wii because he likes playing Mart Kart Wii with me. Instead of acknowledging the cuteness and giving him the 4 minutes it takes for him to get bored with the game, I got frustrated with the distraction and angered that a CD/DVD was out of its case being handled by a three year old. Don’t ever forget, they just want your love and your attention! To give a child what they want often takes very little. Make the time.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: When did I die?
    Master: When did you quit living?

  • Wassup!

    Alright Youtube, I’m giving you another chance because this video is just plain funny and has a great end.

    Its been eight long years since the boys said wassup to each other. Even with the effects of a down economy and imminent change in the White House, the boys are still able to come together and stay true to what really matters.

    For reference, here is the original wassup commerical:

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: The dream is gone.
    Master: Rotten corn leaves only a husk.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: Every decision I make is bad.
    Master: When one steers a ship port or starboard, it is a still a boat floating on water.

  • Quote of the Day

    Seen on 1984news.

    None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. –Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832

    There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt. -John Adams 1735-1826

  • In PA the vote is split between Obama and McCain

    This is why you should never get your news from FOX! I really like the lady in the back right smacking her husband’s arm as he tries to raise it for McCain.

    Note for when Youtube takes the video down. A reporter asks for a show of hands for McCain voters vs Obama voters. Almost every hand is down for McCain and up for Obama but the reporter declares the vote "split."

  • From the mouths of babes

    Evan poking me in my side hard enough to bruise: "Daddy, I want you come upschairs."
    Dad: "No I have to work."
    Evan: "I have to work too."
    Dad: "Oh you do? What are you working on?"
    Evan: "I work on compshure."

    I wish I could live long enough to see a society where our "work" was solely the development and growth of our children and that our skills were simply contributed as needed to the community. Ray, where’s that Singularity?

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: Who does the spanking hurt the most? The spanker or the spankee?
    Master: They are probably the same.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: I think I’m going to die.
    Master: Some day.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: I cannot win at this game.
    Master: Can you have fun trying?

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: Today I feel weak.
    Master: Then today you must be strong.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: These things I cannot control!
    Master: The weak try to control; the strong adapt.

  • Could be worse!

    And to think, my son is studying to be a vet tech!
