So, did I leave you hanging?
Probably not. If you're reading this, you're most likely a Facebook friend, so you know what's up. But if not, well, here's the scoop... The priest of our church sent out an email this past weekend encouraging our parishioners to sign a petition that would (essentially) call for a state vote on the definition of marriage (i.e. try to ban gay marriage). He also stated that the petition would be available at our church to sign. As a parishioner of the church, I disagreed. As a parish council member of the church, I STRONGLY disagreed. (And as a member of the human race, I SUPER-DUPER-STRONGLY disagreed.) First and foremost, I think gays should be allowed to marry. Ten years ago, I'm not 100% sure I would have said that. However, since that time, I've seen so many loving, wonderful gay folks (and way too many effed-up straight couples) that I can't imagine wanting to deny people with genuine love that right. Secondly, I understand the church has its positions. There are old ways of thinking that take time to change. But just because the church has those beliefs, they don't get to say how I vote. And they DEFINITELY don't get to bring crap like that petition into my religious home. Thirdly, I'm a parish council member. I wasn't consulted or even warned about this matter. When the priest sent out this letter, several people thought he did so with our approval...and he DIDN'T. Even the thought that someone would believe I was okay with that irks me to no end. Well, it turns out the priest underestimated our parish (I'm happy to say). He was inundated with emails and calls from parishioners who were pissed, and he reversed his decision to make the petition available at our church. Common sense prevails! My previous post on Monday was about me putting up a Facebook post regarding all this. As you know from this secret public blog, I don't like opening myself up for comments and debate. I was afraid I was letting loose a can of worms in posting on Facebook, but I wanted people (my friends, at least) to know that the parish council had no knowledge of the priest's actions. I posted, waited for comments and "Likes" and...everyone was very supportive. Only one criticism in the bunch, and even that one wasn't bad. It was kind of funny. I posted on Facebook to just let people know some information. I wasn't seeking "Likes" or comments, but once they started coming in, part of me wanted more and more of that validation. I can see why people get head trips on that site. Once I got up to 18 "Likes" and 15 comments, I was feeling pretty good about myself. Then I noticed a friend that had posted her daughter lost her first tooth and she included a picture - that got 24 "Likes" and 26 comments. God makes sure to keep me humble, too. Here's a quick - and surprisingly relevant - kiddie anecdote you should like: My kids have gotten addicted to brain teasers, so I gave them the following oldie but goodie... "A man and his son were in an automobile accident. The man died on the way to the hospital, but the boy was rushed into surgery. The emergency room surgeon said "I can't operate, that's my son!" How is this possible?" If you've heard this before, the answer is that the surgeon is his mother. My nine year old son's response? "The dad is gay!" My boy for the win! Funny links!

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTT...
That's the sound of my brain at the moment. I'm nervous, frightened, and anxious. My head is a-buzzing. At the end of the day today, I'm going to do something I feel is important, but I know it may cause me a huge headache too. Part of me is saying, "Let it go. Spare yourself." And the other (tougher) part is yelling, "Suck it up, you p*ssy!" I've gotten used to telling tough guy to shut up a lot in my life, but today, he's right. Let's just hope I'm wrong about the headache. ...I'm probably not. Funny links! Ooh!

For the record...
I had that tricky conversation/argument. It went well. I feel better. Ahhhh... The teacher in charge of the "behavioral growth" program at school told my wife, "Whatever it is you do with your kids, keep doing it!" She also said she'd love to clone our daughter and take her home. See? I do know how to do something right. And on Friday night, my son (who was born with my accursed athletic abilities) got the game ball from his baseball coaches after the game. He didn't get a hit, but he fielded the ball like no one's business! All in all, life is looking up!

Out of it...
Still not fully here mentally. Still angry, frustrated, occasionally sad, and other weird emoticons. I'm holding on to some anger with someone. I'll try to let go of it tonight and see if it improves my disposition. It could make things worse, but I'll see. Talking is good, right? That's what I'm doing here with you. I've finally kinda, sorta caught up with work. That means I'm just doing normal stuff as opposed to the impending large annoying project stuff. I'm trying to focus on my external projects (I've got two of 'em) but I'm also dealing with home "things" that need to be taken care of. It's like, if I get a moment to myself, something is guaranteed to occur to fill that time void. I'm a magnet for activities. How does one repel activities? Maybe if I stopped using deodorant, people wouldn't invite me to stuff... I am looking forward to some of the activities this weekend though. A birthday party, a costume party, and a rocket launch - sounds pretty good, eh? Why should I be angry then? Well, at least I don't take it out on others... Well, a majority of the time. Peace and funny links!

A quickie...
I've been doing so well on the posts, I thought I'd throw out one more... Me and the wifey got things sorted out today. Decisions still need to "settle," but I think it's going to be all good. Phew. Got a lot of stuff done at work today (both work and other-work). I can actually see above my stack! I just started using Evernote for brain farts (feel free to Google it - Evernote, not brain farts). Lots of writers swear by it. I'm getting used to it, but so far, it's pretty darn nifty. Mother's Day is this Sunday. I got the wifey a little something. I never know what she wants...well, I do, but I can't afford those things. I think she might like this though. Okay, time to go. Peace, love, and better days ahead! Funny link! THE DARK KNIGHT Will Rise In More Ways Than One This Summer!! http://www.aintitcool.com/node/55632 | | Thursday, May 10th, 2012 | | 5:14 pm |
And what do most couples argue about?
Survey says....money, #1 answer. Richard Dawson is guest-hosting my blog (and hitting on my wife). Shit. So me and the wifey are figuring out finances for next year, and...that's fun. Fun, as in "jamming a glass thermometer down your peehole" fun. I'm trying to make her understand certain realities, and she just doesn't. This is kind of an odd position, but it's usually the other way around. Typically, I'm the one with my head in the clouds about finances, and she's the one going cross-eyed at our account balances. Crap. I think I'm growing up again. I've gotta put a stop to that. I hate money. Not HATE as in "I don't want it." I just don't want to think about it. This is why the Republicans piss me off (among other reasons). They want everyone to manage their finances - no social security checks, just 401K plans. Are they serious? How many people in this country have out of control credit card debt? And I hate the stock market! Every time I invest, I feel like I'm playing the lottery. Can't money just fall from the sky? And speaking of fairy tales, my 9 year old son asked me a very intense question the other day. SON: Dad? ME: Yeah, boy... SON: In your HONEST opinion...how tall is a giant? (I'm trying not to laugh when a thought comes to my head.) ME: Do you mean a pretend giant? Or a real one? And BOOM! My boy's brain exploded. Funny links! Growling Nick Nolte? Check. Foxy Emma Stone?

Hey, he's not dead!
Someone just told me Mike Birbiglia isn't dead. (Thanks Y!) Who was I thinking of then? Well, I'm glad Birbiglia is around to make more funnies. He's a good one... (Here's his blog - http://www.birbigs.com/spj/) As for last night, well, it went pretty much like I expected - right down to passing out on the couch. My daughter? Yeah, she's been having issues. Something's going on. She's not eating and she's moody. Normal if your kid is sixteen, not so good when she's seven. We gave her the carrot approach. We've taken her to the doctor, given her patience and love... ...and nothing. No attitude change. The school nurse thought we should take her to a counselor. We considered it, then we remembered she's SEVEN. Time for the stick. When I was a kid and moody, it was a real wooden stick. My mom beat the bad mood out of me quickly. For my daughter, there's other forms of punishment that frighten her. No TV, no computers, no Nintendo, remove her dollies from her room - these work for her. If they didn't, weeeellll, I could always borrow my mom's stick. I heard today's been going better for her. Hm. Surprise, surprise, surprise... Parents - don't forget who's in charge. You hear me? Now to deal with the other dozen things on my plate... Funny links!

A month since my last post...
I just saw a tumbleweed roll across the screen as I typed this. There's a lot going on. Too much... ...and not enough. Let's see, since I last posted, I've: --Celebrated Easter --Done some church-y stuff on the parish council --Enjoyed some kid activities --Done a ton of manual labor --Done a ton of menial labor --Had a small mental breakdown --Did a full-on rage at a guy at work --Got my car fixed --Got my TV fixed --Got drunk several times --Made a promise to myself that I'm going to try and keep --Broke a promise to myself (different promise, though) And now? I'm praying for my nephew who had a surgery (he's okay), I'm trying to keep my wife from having a mental breakdown, and I'm trying to rationalize with a second grade girl who's going through...something. It's f*cking exhausting being me, you know? I do need to tell you about it though. I should, at least. One of my favorite comedians, Mike Birbiglia (RIP), had a blog that he called "My Public Secret Journal." I guess that's what you'd call this thing I'm typing...except people knew about his journal. A couple of you know about mine, so, um, there you go. It's after work and I'm leaving for a church-y parish council thingie that will take me till 8:30 or 9:00pm. Then I'll go home, try to keep my wife from killing my kids, try to keep my kids from going to bed with tears in their eyes, have a beer, and fall asleep in front of the TV. I should be a reality show. Eat it, Kardashians! Funny links!

Wahoo! Look at me...
...at least one post a week. Not too shabby. Or is it? So, let's do a self-check. I coddle the boys in my hand, give a cough, and...what's that lump? Oh, ingrown hair. Phew. This week, I began trying to kinda-sorta stick to a schedule. Certain hours for working, certain hours for writing, certain hours for mindless dreck. Heh, this blog falls into all three of those categories, don't ya think? Anyhow, I'm sorta sticking to the schedule, and it's working...a little. I think I told you, but I'm working on a children's book at the moment. It's a little trickier than I thought, but it's moving along. I'm mostly enjoying the effort, although I still occasionally have to battle sleepiness while writing. No, I'm not boring myself, but I think I'm writing in the wrong environment. Eh, I'll figure it out, but progress is slowly being made. Life is a tiny bit better than last week...a teeny-tiny bit. I've been hyperventilating a fair amount though. At least, that's what the doctor says it is. Symptoms point to it too. It could be a tumor, but I'll let myself believe it's hyperventilation. A tumor would suck. So much to do, so little time. I need to make a movie soon too. Maybe I'll win the mega-millions lotto? No. If that happens, then I KNOW I'd have a tumor. Ah, life. Funny links!

What the eff is my problem?!?
It probably comes down to the fact I say "eff" instead of "f*ck" - - Nah. That's not it. I am still so clogged. Physically, mentally, and just...everything. I've probably complained about this already a thousand times, but I can't get past it. I'm heavier than I've been in a long while, yet I'm still constantly hungry. My bones are more sore than they've ever been, but I'm seeing a chiropractor/physical therapist. I'm in the least debt that I have been for awhile, but debt keeps piling up like crazy. I've been getting decent sleep, but I'm exhausted. I have great ideas for stories, but I can't get them down on paper. You see why I'm feeling a little crazy? My life needs an enema. Seriously. But even as I type those words, I'm afraid. I'm worried that I'll jinx myself. People ask for change and then something bad happens to make their lives even worse. I definitely don't want that, but I need SOMETHING. I know I'm just over 40, but I'm not talking about the cliches of a new car, motorcycle, or an affair. I just...I'm a snow globe and all the little white flakes have settled to the bottom. I wanna get shaken up (once again, in a good way). I need a breath of fresh air. I need...newness. I need surprises and things to look forward to. Right now, everything is meh. I just want one of the big ideas in my head to take off. I want it to happen. But why me? What makes me so special? What entitles me to a wonderful life when I can't seem to appreciate the totally fantastic life right in front of my face? I don't have an answer. And maybe the fact that I have to ask a question like the preceding means I don't deserve one. F*ck. As the song says, "Say a little prayer for me." 'Kay? Funny links!

What have I unleashed?
Well, my son tore through those two books about sex within 3 days...now he wants the third book. He didn't have any questions with the first two - they mostly covered topics we talked about but in more depth. He laughed at the cartoon bird and bee that explained things. The third book, however, goes into a few sensitive areas: gay couples, masturbation, different methods of birth control, and even anal sex. Yeah, I think he might have questions after completing that book. On the cover of the book, it says ages 10 and up, and by boy's a very mature 9, so I think it's okay. And the sensitive areas above? My parents never talked about those things - I learned those things from kids in high school, magazines, and dirty jokes. Still, I guess it's best he learn it this way. He's probably going to know more about sex than I by the time this is done. I await an avalanche of questions. Funny links!

Let's talk about the birds and the bees...
So this past weekend, me and the boy had "the talk." He's in the fourth grade, and that's when I learned "things" so I thought it was his turn as well. Now, my wife had supposedly told him about sex and the human body a few months ago. She hadn't told me she was going to do it, she just did, which kinda made me miffed. However, I went and did the same thing this past weekend, so...um, I figured it was okay. The two of us were alone, so I figured it was a good time. I asked him what his mother had told him, and I got a couple of details, but the rest...? Either she didn't explain it in a way he could understand, or he forgot (although, how someone could forget a sex talk is beyond me). Suffice it to say, I started at the beginning. He listened, and surprisingly, didn't have many questions. I went through the scientific portion and the mechanics of it, and then I went through the meaning of the act and the bigger picture of it all. He was very focused, and I'm pretty confident he understands it in the way a person should when they're in fourth grade. I also gave him a couple of books - "It's Not the Stork" and "It's So Amazing." They're well-written books that do a good job of explaining things for kids. I told him to look at them if he's still curious and to feel free to ask me or mom questions at any time. He finished the first book in a day (he's very studious) but still hasn't had any questions. I keep waiting for some of the bigger queries, but they're not coming...yet. The more he hears at school and elsewhere, the more he'll want to know, I figure. Whew. One kid down, one to go.

Okay, okay, I'm posting!
Ain't that just like me? I give you a super-depressing post and then do a couple of sporadic posts and disappear? I'm a dick. Oh well. How about some updates? My wife's grandmother is dying (sorry for the lack of a segue). She's 92 years old and has lived a great and long life, but her body is just shutting down. About two years ago her mind started leaving her, and ever since then, the rest has just been going piece by piece. It's weird - nearly all the people I've seen die have passed away from cancer or heart attacks. But my wife's grandmother? Things just aren't working anymore. She isn't even capable of swallowing anymore. I explained it to my kids like this - every person has an expiration date. We don't know what that date is, but if we're lucky, we make it to that date. In the case of great grandma, she's made it. I'm gonna miss her too. She's been more of a grandma to me than either of my grandmothers (one died when I was age 3 and the other lived in Greece and I only saw her a half dozen times in my life - and I couldn't even speak her language). My wife's grandma is a terrific person too - it's why we named our daughter after her. So, yeah, that's going on. My back/body has been going a bit nutty. I'm going through chiropractic sessions and so I'm aching in all kinds of new places as things realign (that's the reason I've been told, at least). I think it may be actually working, but I'll be able to tell for sure in 2 weeks. I certainly hope it fixes something - I've been in way too much pain lately. My sleep has been off too. I don't know what it is, but I'm always tired lately. I'm pretty sure my sleep machine (CPAP) works, but I don't feel like I've had "refreshing" sleep since forever. As for my emotions...they're kind of all over the map lately. My work moved to new offices, and there's something about them where I'm still not comfortable. It just feels like I shouldn't be here, but I'm forcing myself to embrace the space. What other choice to I have? Writing has been sucking as well. With the body pain and all the tiredness, my focus is way off. This means my writing is off, work is off, and life is...off. I get angry, I get a little depressed (not too bad), but I also have spots of happiness. The other day I realized how great my life was when I got a windfall (of sorts) that I don't even know how I deserve. Things like that seem to happen in my life - I just get blessed for reasons that are beyond me. I wonder if I did something in a previous life to deserve this? I'd say it's luck, but I can't be as lucky as I am all the time. Can I? Anyhow, let's keep our fingers crossed for more fun and love for everyone, okay? Peace and funny links!

Okay, I'm not crazy today...
...and that's a good thing, right? I think I may have been uber-tired on Friday. I fell asleep at 9:30, which never happens with me. Of course, I had a nightmare, woke up at 5:30am and couldn't fall back asleep, but overall, my mood's improved. Over the weekend I did some manual labor. That cleans your head out in a jiff. (SIDE NOTE - What the hell is a jiff? Isn't it a jar of peanut butter?) I watched the Oscars, took care of some things that needed taking care of, and in general, came out the other side of things. I've still got this other issue that's kinda religious-related that I'm dealing with, but we'll see what happens with it. For my friends out there, don't worry - it's not something personal, just God & church stuff (which I guess IS personal, but not "I'm going to become a polygamist"-type personal). Suffice it to say...I may have some choices that I'm forced to make. Actually, I already made my choice, I just need to know that I'll follow through with my answer. ...wow. Could I be MORE cryptic? Anyhow, I'll burn that bridge when I come to it. For now, funny links!

Aaaaaaargh!
Just felt like screaming a little. I'm back. I went to Los Angeles for a little Greek Dance competition (my kids competed - I'm retired). It was a good but exhausting trip. We saw some old friends, made a couple of new ones, and saw Mickey the Mouse. Okay, I'm lying. I mean, we did go for those reasons and we did do those things, but did I have fun? I dunno. I feel compelled to say I did due to the time, effort, and money, but the genuine fun I experienced could have probably been had in a weekend at home too. I feel like I'm sinking a bit again. Work is exhausting, my activities (such as they are) are wearing me down, home and my "other jobs" are making me feel like screaming... And I've been stuck in my writing again. F*ck. Excuse me, I meant FFFFFFFF**********************CCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! I want to fight. I want to quit. I want to yell and cry. I can't go into the tunnel again. I just can't. I'm losing my voice. I can't find the words any more. I'm fat. I'm broke. I'm just...I wanna knock my desk over (but I don't wanna clean it up, so I'll refrain). I wanna get ahead in life. I'm trying to remember the last time I felt that way. Seems like it's been awhile (but I know it probably hasn't been super-long). Sorry. The last thing I wanna do is depress other folks. Honestly, someone looking outside-in on my life would probably say it looks fantastic. And it is and should be viewed that way. It's just hard sometimes. It's funny, I was wondering how someone with a "fantastic" life like Whitney Houston could succumb to taking drugs and pills. I guess I can see the "how"...I just would never do it. Okay then, let's say a prayer the weekend will be great. Sound good? Peace to all of you! Funny links!
