The Friendly Alien World

My boys made these cute little "alien" creatures out of eye balls and foam letters. We had lots of fun with the project. We made a little stop motion video to share. Fun!

Family

I am always inspired, refreshed and positively motivated after talking with my Dad. I hope I can have that effect on my kids. I love you Dad! My whole family is amazing. I am so lucky and blessed.

Pull yourself together man

This may sound crazy but if go too long without skateboarding, I start to come apart at the seams. How long is too long? It just depends. For some reason this activity from my youth has become necessary for sanity. I don't skate enough I guess. Sometimes I'm too scarred. I don't want to crash. The stoke is worth the risk. I don't need to destroy a mega ramp or execute a perfect impossible flip to twenty stair hand rail to feel it. All I know is that riding a little wooden toy with wheels levels me out. I am thankful to be able to ride.

The way I see it.

I always wanted to be so good at something that my heros would want to meet me.

I posted this on FB and an old friend Named Fred pointed out that my kids are my "real" heros. It brought totally new perspective. Thanks Fred.

Backstory:
I had seen a pic of Hosoi and Cab and wished I could hang with those cool cats. That pic prompted my statement.

It's funny, My heros Hosoi and Cab were totally into my kids when we met.

Life... time does pass so quickly... I have plans... it feels like there is no time left to be what I wanted to be. Maybe I am what I wanted to be... I am trying so hard to enjoy every day for how much it is worth.... maybe I have had too many glasses of wine. Maybe everything is perfect.

Hello Blog!

Whew! I lost access to my blog for a while... and I was lazy (busy) and did not post for a long time. I really want to start posting to my blog again. I like the personal journal aspect of blogging, it's something that facebook lacks. I mean when you post to facebook EVERYONE see's it. I think I have grown to like the fact that few to no people ready my blog. It feels less scrutinized! I like it here!
