Maddox @ 4.5 Months

At first he did not like this thing at all. Now we cannot keep him out of it.

Ya'll mean I am goin to be on TV now?

My brother hanging out with Flavor Flav in Vegas

So...for those of you who do not know who this guy is let me explain. During the 80's my brother, friends and I were into hip hop and a show called Yo MTV Raps. This was a show that was on for 30 minutes a day that covered the new videos and songs that were done by rap artists. At the time, this was the premier show on MTV. Secondly, my brother was a DJ and I was always surrounded by music. Either way, this photo is historic for my brother. The clock is a symbol for flavor as he saws that he always knows "what time it is". Just typing this makes me laugh. I am really happy that my brother had a chance to take a picture with Flavor. I know that it truly was a great moment for him as we have always liked him since his days with the group Public Enemy. If you get a chance, Google the group Pubic Enemy. They are one of the original hip hop groups of all time.

Yeaaaaaaaahhh Boyeeeeeeeeee!

Bored on a Friday night and I cannot sleep...watching Letterman

Well in the spirit of blogging and not being able to sleep..Here I am! Its getting late and I can here Maddox waking up for his late evening snack.

Well, it was somewhat a busy week. I recently just had the end of quarter for work and I think I did well. Although all of the final numbers are not in, I think that I did good. I am now getting ready for the 4th quarter and I just have 90 days left until the year is over. For those of you that are not aware, the year ends for me in November with is great. It gives me the month of december to recharge my batteries and to get ready for the year. Some of you are aware, but I am trying to win a trip to Marbella, Spain. It should be a good time.

Maddox is still growing like a weed and as I sit here and type he is sitting next to me as his mom feeds him. He is getting longer and making all different kinds of noises now. Nothing much really going on around this topic other than he still smiles all the time and looks like has not a care in the world. He is just so comfortable all the time. Mona has managed to be on the bed all night these days and I think its TLC 's way of making sure that she still feels like #1 to us

As I sit here watching David Letterman, he makes me laugh. On another note, I just saw a show that said Mccain's wife's outfit that she work for his acceptance speech was worth approximately $313,000.00. The earings alone were 3 karat diamonds. LOL. They compared this amount of money to the $900.00 dollar dress that Michelle Obama worse during Barak's acceptance speech. Where am I going with this? Well, I guess I am just really trying to figure out how Mccain and the hockey mom from a Alaska can relate to most americans.

I created a facebook www.facebook.com account about a month ago and I have managed to meet alot of old friends on there. Its a great way to connect and catchup with people that you used to have in your daily lives. Geez, time really flies. Most of my friends have had kids and really have gone off in their own direction. Like either moving to New York, Boston, Florida, etc. Some of them have remained the same and others have done something completely different. One particular guy I found this week I have been looking for awhile. He got an academic scholoarship to Stanford and was a high school all american in football as well. Turns out he lives in DC and he has an 8 month old. Him and I are going to chat, but I am glad we finally connected.

Finally, I just switched to ATT cable and my phone is not set up yet. If you are calling the house and getting the busy signal this is the reason. This will be resolved in the next couple of days,

Football is back!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for the season to be here. With the Padres not being competitive (nice way to say they suck). I think we have a really good chance of going to the big game this year. We will see how it goes. I am currently in 3 footballs pools as well, so every, I mean every game means something. Anyway, I am going riding earlty in the morning so I gotta run. Oh, by the way, I got a new tattoo as wel. If you want to see it, send me an email.

I saw this and could not stop laughing..Enjoy

Barack Obama's Full Speech to the DNC

Not to be political but what the heck. Having majored in political science and minored in philosophy, I like to dig into the issues at times.

Although I will not disclose my political affiliation, I will tell you that Taunya and I were glued to the tube for all of the DNC. We really looked forward to hearing what Barak was going to say. When we saw it, we were completely floored. What a story of this young man who defied the odds to turn out to be someone truly special. This is the underdog. This is the story that we all watch in movies and in the theater(s) and root for in the end. It was this history in the making and we were thrilled to be apart of it. I thought he did a good job of addressing the issues that we Americans face everyday.

Not only does he speak with conviction, passion and presence. He is you and he is me. We have all been in his spot at one point in our life. For some, the road was a bit more windy and for some it was much longer than expected. No matter which, you stayed the course. You did and that is what helped you get to where you are today. Look back and ask yourself if you are one of those who were handed something or if you were one of those who had to work for every bit of it. If you were, then the choice is clear.

We will be glued to the tube when the RNC is on as it will be interesting to see how the 2 year governor from Alaska and the veteran with 13 houses can help us see the benefits of the last 8 years.
