Todays thought...catching up.

Ok, so first off, Floor had Lil Joker. I got to be there. He was born on Memorial Day this year! What a day it was! 6 lbs 7 oz and 18.5" long. He is so cute! I was tickled to death to be there this time too! Don't think there will be any more in the future for them so I was so blessed and honored to be there. Congrats Floor and Sniper. I'm positive that Lil Joker will make the best addition to the family and I am so blessed to be a part of that. Thank you for allowing me to do that.

Second, Saturn. Saturn and Puck are doing GREAT! It's been so long since I've seen either of them. Pooh Bear and I were going to try and make it up there to see her but it didn't work out. But with any luck, she will be down here in 4 short weeks. I can't wait to see her! She will be here for a couple weeks. So little time. To you Saturn, cant wait to see you when you get here. We have a date for breakfast the morning you get here so just call me when you're in. It can't get here soon enough! I feel completely blessed that you have come into my life and am thankful that you too allow me to do so. I can't tell you enough how glad I am we've become as good of friends as we have.

Third, my mama. She is still progressing greatly with her implant. It may sound stupid to some of you but I am so happy. She heard Pooh Bear trimming his beard the other day. It was the most awesome thing in the world. To you mama, I am so proud of you! I just can't say that enough! You are one of the strongest people I know and I couldn't be prouder to call you my mama.

On that note, my daddy. I haven't talked about him too much in my blog. He's doing great. About to retire. Counting down the days. I remembered when I used to make fun of him because he would say "I have 4 years, 2 months, 16 days and 6 hours until retirement." Well, now I've been working for a little while at a company that I think I could probably retire at pretty good. So I totally feel what my daddy was saying. So daddy...just for you, as of this day...I have 27 years, 5 months, 22 days and roughly 12 hours. Yeah, I have a long way to go. But hey, ya know....Cest' la Vie.

On another note about stupid people...my Pooh Bear plays softball in a work league. 2 weeks ago they played. In the end of the first game, one of the guys on Pooh's team slid into home plate. He took out the catcher that was standing over the base. Now I don't know that much about softball but I know that the catcher is not supposed to cover home plate if a slider is coming. So, of course, Pooh's team mate slid into home and took out the catcher. He was safe. Well the other team of course faught the call with the ump and refused to accept that he was safe. Well the people on the other team started a big commotion about the whole mess. Well push came to shove and 2 of the people ended up getting kicked out of the game, and there was a third that was on his way out. Well he opened his mouth, called the ump a certain 5 letter colorful metaphore and he got kicked out of the game. At that point, there were just enough people to play on that team. They would take a heavy beating getting an out every time one of the players was up to bat, but still, enough people. But it doesn't stop there. We all think its all said and done and one of the other teammembers wives starts screaming at the ump saying its a bs call and just cussin and carrying on. This gets the umps feathers ruffled and the teammember and it starts a screaming match. The ump kicked that player out of the game and off the field for 3 weeks. Had to physically throw this guy out of the ball field. Then the wife starts up again. And at that point I just wanted to go "SHUT UP!" If she hadn't opened her mouth in the first place her husband might still be able to play. I mean come on people. You may not agree with the call but the umpire made but ya know. WAKE UP! IT'S A GAME! A softball game at that! Its not like there are major leage scouts in the stands! Come off it! Remember people, it doesn't do you any good getting upset at a bad call. Not that upset. It's a game. You didn't lose any money by getting that bad call. You aren't going to be scared for life. Unless you are the type of person to get scarred for life due to a bad call during a softball game. And if you are then let me put my foot in my mouth by saying you need to go back to the rock that you crawled up from and get back up under there. You are going to get bad calls no matter where you are or what you do. Get used to it. It's called life. You don't always get what you want on a silver platter. And those of you that do get things handed to you on a silver platter your whole life, I pitty you. Its sad to know that you will never be able to appreciate the value of a dollar bill. Or a penny for that matter.

Now that I'm done with that rant...on to some funnies. I e-mailed a friend of mine the other day about oxymorons. And I just wanted to share a few of them with you...to make you readers laugh. (For those of you who aren't sure what an oxymoron is, the definition of it is A rhetorical figure in which contradictory terms are combined). First we have Jumbo Shrimp. Now just think about that one. Jumbo Shrimp. Ok, then we have a 1 Liter Squirt. Now granted as I said in my e-mail, I haven't seen and Orange Squirt in forever..but hey, ya know. Next we have The Littlest Giant. Granted that is a kids story but still. Oh, and here's one for ya...Freezer Burn! Yeah, I love that one. Then that leads me to something that my daddy taught me when I was very young. The story of contradiciton. Now I don't know all of it, and there are many versions of it, but the one I was taught as a kid goes like this.

One bright day, in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys, got up to fight
Back to back they faced eachother
Drew their swords and shot eachother
A deaf police man heard the noise
And came to kill the two dead boys
If you do not believe this lie is true,
Just ask the blind man, he saw it all too.

Then another one that I learned later in life but have learned just the same...

Ladies and Jelliespoons,
I come before you, to stand behind you
To tell you something I know nothing about.
Next Thursday, on Good Friday
There will be a Womens meeting, for Men only.
Admission is free, you pay at the door
Pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
The topics of discussion will be
What color to white wash the walls,
And who will be allowed to sit on the corners of the round table.

Well I'm going to go for now and finish my book. To quote my cousin Frog...Ta ta for now! It's bed time!
