What you think does matter

What would you do for five minutes of fame? Funny, I spend way too much time trying to come up with ways to build traffic to my blog by coming up with interesting stories about my life, my children and the strange or funny things I see online. But this pictures reminds me that "I do have a limit". What would you do? How far would you go to get 5 minutes worth of fame? Apparently this guy thinks its worth a possible life time of embarassment - after all, nothing every goes away once it has been uploaded to the internet. So I ask you: was this a smart idea? His name has been withheld due to my decision to helping him keep some of his dignity......

I simply desire you..... Ah, I yearn for your sweet tender embrace. Thy scent, the sweet smell of rose peddles fill the air.... Oh how I love you. Come; let my arms hold you tightly against my bare cold shivering chest. Let me whisper sweet nothings into your ear and let us allow our hearts to intertwine in our passion as our two hearts merge and become one. For some reason this reminds me of marriage.... not sure why though? Please Share with others

Please don’t take this the wrong way – I respect and admire what firemen and Police officers do. It’s a difficult and life threatening job. But in fun – you simply have to wonder if they ever think to themselves….. I’ve been through several fires in my lifetime – all when I was a child. You can say I owe my life; my family owes their lives to the men and woman of the New York Fire Department. But while I honor and respect the many men and women – It has to be hard not to think…. “you don’t pay me enough to go in there”.

Having a bad - funny face makes me feel alot better. Having a bad day? Well just remember this: no matter how bad you think it is, someone out there has it worst than you.   Ok so it's not grammatically correct or poetic in how it sounds - but it's true. Which brings me to a ‘thought of the day’ quote I read today at school. "I had no shoes and complained, until I saw a man who had no feet." Sometimes it is all about perspective and perception. Like today - I was feeling a bit low, a bit down on the dumps and then I ran across a picture of my son: I couldn't help but laugh! He had two loose teeth (tooth) and was at his flag football practice. He was doing a very good job of giving it his all when it happened - he ran straight into a kid that had his head down. It took of a two seconds and both of them were on the ground screaming. The kid my son was supposed to be blocking decided to run full into him with his head down. Since he was unable to see wher...

Adventures at Sea World: funny family vacation It’s a sunny day with not a cloud in the sky. The temperature is a cool 68 degrees with a mild breeze that makes you feel good in the sun but chilly in the shade – it’s my kind of day. It’s spring break and the family is going out to one of Florida’s extravagant parks: Sea World. My son has been talking about wanting to visit sea world for about 2 years – I will be honest, it’s not my kind of thing. Ever time my son and wife mentioned “Sea World” I thought – why, it’s like visiting the zoo. I know they have some rides like the Manta rollercoaster, the Kraken and the Journey to Atlantis … but I am not a fan of coasters. Don’t get me wrong, I believe it is all about the family experience. I believe it is about giving my children a wonderful fun filled family vacation they can cherish the rest of their lives. I just couldn’t see Sea World offering that. To me it only brought images of walking around the zoo hoping my son finds somethin...

Usually celebrities are looked upon as big spenders – the epitome of excess. And while for most this may be true, for some it is the complete opposite of what is portrayed in the rag magazine we so love to read to learn about the lifestyles of our favorite stars and celebrities. Celebrities teaching ‘GOOD’ money management tips: Ashley Greene takes pointers on cash-crunching from her dad. The actress told Marie Claire that just because she was in the successful "Twilight" franchise it doesn't mean the fame has gone to her head. "I'm lucky because my dad taught me to be frugal and save," said Greene. "And that's important because I want to know that I don't have to take an acting job for two or three years if I don't want to and that I'll still be able to make my house and car payments and buy food for my dogs.” Jay Leno doesn't spend any of the money he earns from "The Tonight Show." The late-night host revealed ...
