That dog don’t hunt
Girl asked me the other day “why
don’t you hunt”
I honestly did not have a succinct
answer to that one.
I have been hunting
I have a natural eye for shooting and
am a really good shot.
I just…I don’t see a challenge in
hunting.
I don’t need the meat, the
supermarket has enough.
I have hit everything I have ever shot
at and that is only a mild exaggeration.
I am a really good shot, I could
have made a profession out of it but it was so easy it became boring.
I am probably rusty right now as it has been a while.
Getting up really early in the morning
and sitting around waiting for some animal to show up and then try to
kill it. Not my idea of a fun time really.
I have no problem killing something if
it has invaded my personal space. Mice in the house, squirrel in the
roof, etc but going out of my way to kill something that doesn’t
need to be killed is..what? Im not sure.
I’m not knocking it though, if that
is your idea of fun then good for you! I have nothing against hunting
it’s just not for me.
Im not sure what I am trying so say
here....

They say time is relative
Like a second with your hand on a hot
burner seems like an eternity and a hour with your lover seems like a
second.
My little girl was born 17 years ago
and now she is entering into the end of her school career.
This is a lot more painful than I ever
imagined it could be.
I would gladly stand with my hand on a
hot burner until the flesh melted away just to have some of that time
back.
I mourn for my kids childhood.
I miss them so very much.
Don’t get me wrong I am happy with
the here and the now and I look forward to the people they will
become but still….
To have my little ones back... to be
able to experience the world again with them.
I would sell my very soul for that
time.

Character just cant be taught
I will paraphrase here..
So Boy was at school and as it so
happens they are watching a movie in band.
The kid behind him decides he needs to
pick on Boy.
(I just don’t fully
understand why kids have to be so cruel to each other.)
He tells boy that the Broncos suck and
that they can “suck his D”
Over and over
My boy tells him to shut up and tries
to locate the teacher to get this kid to shut up.
He is like his father in that he can
take a LOT of pushing before anything snaps.
Then the kid kicks him…
As the class ends this goes out into
the hallway
The kid kicks Boy in the leg
Boy kicks the kids dayplanner
….The kid kicks again
Boy finally had had enough and swings
the kid around drop him into a chokehold.
In doing so he smashes the boys nose in
with his forearm.
Blood everywhere.
Finally teachers are involved and when
the dust settles the kid has a 10 day suspension and Boy has a 5 day
suspension.
Now here is the character part
The very first day that both boys are
back in school the band teacher looks up and there is Boy helping
this kid with his homework assignment.
To me that is character right there.
