Great Day!

What a great Father's Day I had. It started with Arleah texting me right at midnight. (Thank you baby!!!!!) Then I received the sweetest gifts from my two little ones. My son got me a stuffed football and a backscratcher that said I was the greatest dad in the world. My daughter got me an aquarium soap dispenser. Both kids made their gifts at school. I was just so happy with them.

After that, I was treated to breakfast at Mc Donalds! My oldest son also called me from Russia. He is studying there. It was great to hear his voice. I was also greeted a happy father's day from my brother, mother, father and a friend that sometimes views this blog.

Great day....I feel much better today. Thanks to everyone that changed my mood!

Growing up

Well, my son leaves for St. Petersburg today. He will be studying there for 5 weeks then traveling around Europe for 3 weeks. I'm really proud of him. He has worked hard for what he has.

It finally hit me that he is all grown up. He turned 19 on Monday. It was very sobering.

He has a good life in front of him, a life much better than mine. I'm happy about that.

Good job son!

They're back! The lion and tiger return!

Well, after a while of not dreaming of them the lion and tiger have returned. This time the lion was a male and the tiger was a female. They posed no threat to me but they were going after 3 pigs. One pig was really big and blackish grey. The other two pigs were small and white. In my dream the tiger had them cornered but the big pig pushed the little ones away from the tiger and saved them. They ran away. After that, the big pig was able to escape also by just running and squeezing by the tiger. The lion was there but was not really a threat.

Arleah and I were on a balcony watching this happen.

Another good ending so I'm not too worried about this one. I'll just watch and see what happens.

20 Years

This coming June 11 will mark the 20th anniversary of my grandfather's death. I had a dream about that day. Something is going to happen.

Lion Dream Again

I have been having a lot of dreams about lions lately. They never attack me but are always trying to get me in some kind of trouble. The lions never succeeded.

I think I recently found out who the lion is and have gotten rid of it. Now it all makes sense! Things worked out perfectly.

Sorry lion, it didn't work!

South Park

I try not to get too much philosophy from South Park but this week's episode really hit a nerve with me. It really pointed out something that has been bothering me for a long time.

In the episode, Kyle says to Cartman "Your ego is so out of whack that it will do whatever it can to protect itself and people with a messed up ego can to these mental gymnastics to convince themselves they are awesome when really they are just douche bags."

This is so true. Some people just can't accept who they are or what they have done and have to do these mental gymnastics to convince themselves they are not to blame or not as wrong as they really are.
