“It is wrong
It is just plain wrong for a person to profit from some one else name.”
That is what the commentator said right before interviewing me for a show. I was like “the gall. And the pot calls the kettle black.” He blinked blankly back at me as if I weren’t making any sense. “You idiot, you think I am going to sit here and let you tell me what and what for? You got another thing coming.” I think he was so stunned no one said anything as I stood up untucked my shirt they insisted I tuck in and walked off the little stage, and straight out the door. I hate the 700 club and why had I even come here for an interview? I don’t need them, and of all the things to say at the start of an interview. Jerry Fallwell would have more tact. Good lord.  As I got in my car to leave I felt something at my back.  Yep I had taken their wireless microphone and I hope it was still on recording my mutterings all the way out of the place.
That is how my week started. All this fall-de-rall over some one making Jesus action figurines’.
I don’t care their cool. I don’t do figurines but heck why not if your into dust collectors and crap like that buy a “Jesus playing soccer with a young boy” item number 343356 if you want and why do I care if the Christian book store has them for sale or not.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how many tie s you say it. I am Jesus’ brother. I was born when he was like 29 and I didn’t really know him.  We weren’t close or anything.
OK I am sorry; I said all that to say this. When you are not famous but your siblings are or in my case were the media is always gonna make you  out to be an idiot. And I hate it.
Case in point; Other than Janet or Michael (may he rest in peace) who of the other Jackson family is worth their salt huh? None of them. The Kardashians? Or however you spell their name. I mean if you wanna call Kim the famous one, what do the other kids have? The fat one is funny but um nothing. I mean I am sure these people are fine in their own right but don’t film them and make them look all stupid. The famous siblings shit smells just as bad and if they can piggy back a shoe designing career off your singing or sex tape with famous guys fame more power to them I say.
Someone make s a Jesus Action figuring and I am supposed to be upset that I didn’t think of that. Please.  That is not me. I don’t own the rights to his name; I am just his baby brother.

So I swear I am going to start some blogging again.
My lasts two posts I went back and read and good lord I seem to be depressed.
I swear I am not.
I still have not had that vacation I was pining for so much. And I still have this plate that is too full of things that some of you are getting dropped off and left out. I swear it is not on purpose.
Here is a quick update of things that have been going on. Jade is freaking amazing. Pulling herself up and looking at you like ha, and one day I will be bigger than you too dad. (She has a ways to go) she is to coolest baby ever. Inspiring women of child bearing age everywhere to have one just like her. Good luck. I don’t know if you will be able to her momma is pretty amazing as well.
First father’s day was pretty cool. The girls gave Papi soccer shoes. Don’t play soccer I watch it and now when I watch it I can do it in cleats. Just kidding they are not cleats but I am going to wear them while watching soccer I swear this to you.
First Scott then Zach then Phillip and Now Eli have deserted me. I’ll kill the next friend who moves away. Got that? Yeah that’s right if I cain’t have you aint no body gon’ haven you. If you say that a jealous redneck husband beating on the side of a rusty old truck it really sounds funny. I have a rusty old truck and I have a gun to you sons of bitches and if I have to load another U-Haul it is on. I am kidding but not about being tired of loosing friends to Californiacation
Chris got married Saturday! Congrats Chris and Laura.

Chris and Laura

Big pimppin in the cream colored suit.

Mom and dad came down for a visit and I am still sleep deprived and the Fox logo is burned into the bottom of my TV screen.
Josh and Dara are on their way as we speak to see us and I can’t wait. I have this neighbor guy who was asking about a van with MO plates in my drive way and he was saying oh your family came to visit you a then made this screwed up face. I thought how sad, Here is a older single gay man still very closeted and so objectionable he can’t stand family or any visitors he told me. His house is larger than mine what do you keep in that place Frank, News paper clippings? And way I was like um yeah my family is awesome. He made some joke about Arkansas and I was un-neighborly. I turned around and walked off and while walking away refitted my iPod ear buds and started cutting the lawn again. Of all the nerve; I wanted to say something I wanted to but I kept my cool.
My old Friend Seth found me via twitter. Catching up has been a pleasant experience.
We have two weeks before we move into our new church facilities. 6 years in the works, I am so glad. That is a major understatement. My only regret is that all who started this journey won’t be here to celebrate in this milestone with us. So much hard work has went into this deal, and I think it is all going to be worth the effort.
Um Um what else.
Oh, I have started writing some stupid little shorts. We’ll see. They may see the light of day or the light cathode rays or your computer monitor if you come back to this address.
Ok
And I think that is it. Hasten the arrival of Josh , Dara, Ana, and Colin. I am ready to Party!
Cheers!

I am not having a productive week, and face book has taken up a ton of those little insignificant things that I say on here. Daine is …

READY FOR a day by the pool or something.
I found my self whispering out of the car window at people in town while I was out for lunch. People who were just having a nice day off and enjoying them selves, I would whisper “I wont that” like the lady to her timid husband while uncle Rico unloads Tupperware on them.

I am jealous of Zach and his Disney trip even though that would be near the last of things I would want to do. Go to an amusement park with family.
I love them and all but when think get away I think really getting away from stuff and being out in the wilderness somewhere. Some where when you get home you Google earths it and think how the heck I even got there.
Was that beach really that long, or wow there really wasn’t anything over that next ridge. What ever floats your boat I guess?
The idea of a day where I had nothing to do if I didn’t want would be nice

I need something but I don’t know what.
I am having one of those times where everything is going fine and then one small insignificant thing will piss me off. Or I’ll be doing fine and then I’ll do some thing and piss some one else off.
I must have a problem. Oh and what is weird is the same people are the ones continually who spark this frustration.
I can’t do anything about it either if I say something chances are slim it would be in the right spirit and taken as well. I think I need a vacation. My shoulders are all bunched up, and I feel like so much less of a person due to this problem. I can’t tell any one about it specifically only you my dear readers in vast swaths of ambiguity.

I love you all even when I am breaking my teeth clamping down on my leather coaster.

I know this is only Wednesday but this has been on of those weeks already.
I wish I were more stayed. I feel like I am on this roller coaster of emoticons smile frown wink rage face, repeat. I am going to self diagnose this as in desperate need of a vacation but since I have just spent all of that and then some the most I am going to hope for is an afternoon off, with some silence and maybe a nap.

this song was on my head when i woke up this morning.
dance me dizzy baby.

Ok folks i swear i am working on some real stuff and writing it down.
it is a book maybe or a pamphlet more like and yeah yeah yeah
i am working on it and you’ll get it first here but i need to Send it to my Editor Friend who just had another beautiful baby. Congratulations Stephanie and Saki. Bottom line i have nothing but cool videos to show you.
I went to a David Bazan house show thanks to Eli and i loved it. and i loved it, like that needed to even be said.
It was awesome
no P/A just Dave and his guitar. My point is to make you all fans.
this is woman in me an old Dylan song, and the laughter in the middle is for the guy who requested the song that had driven from Dallas to Austin and gotten caught in the storm. You’ll see David non his head his direction. it was cool to say the least.

and then the end of the show. was funny and awkward.

I know i am being mocked right ow by some of my inner possy. Do I care? Heck no.

I am getting old with the band and No i dont think this is thier Hyms album that already happened. Remember all that you cant leave behind? Might as well have been Carman sining “I surrender all”.

Have you ever been excited and then totally bummed about something at once?
My baby is getting big and that is so cool but at the same time wait She is getting big and not going to be the baby before too much longer.
The New U2 album comes out today . Sweet one of the best days of the month id not the quarter if not the year in my “Velveeta is still cheese and good cheese at that” opinion. SO my sister sends me the link of the album on Amazon for 3.99 and that is awesome, but what I really want is the deluxe version on itunes with the hour long movie! Hello 17.99 and not only is that the one I want but I want that one in a hard copy with all the packaging. I am such a dork I know but that is even going to cost me more. So for what I could have for 4 bucks I am going to have to part with 20 more to get the little extras. Drat.
My neck is out. I had a car crash and have suffered for it dearly. The Chiropractor is helping but it hurts to go but I feel better after I have been.
It also cost money now that I am supposed to get back on the settlement I hope that happens. And I went yesterday and got all fixed and then sneezed and it was all undone. I really had a big sneeze. Now I am in pain waiting till I can go get hurt and give hi more money so ill feel better and hopefully get that money back someday and this time I am going to try not to sneeze!
Last thing I can think of on this note.
Google maps is doing their street view pics. I am excited
I keep checking my neighbor hood to see if they are up yet.
And this morning guess what? We are there. Except it is from like a year ago and the plumber was at my house due to some leaks we were having. His big truck was in front of the house, and there are two houses next door to us since, no it has to be like almost a year and a half ago that there were taken there are houses all around us now. And I was home with the plumber in the middle of the day so both cars are in the drive way and the garage door is open and we look like real red necks and we are so not that would be every one else on the street. But you can see our place and Gus and Anderson and the disgrace of a dirty garage that I swear I have since cleaned all up and organized. Oh and Karina’s old 93 civic is in there dead waiting to go to place where dead Honda’s go too. Man and the trash can is out and not even been picked up yet.
I wish I could have them come back and redo the picture. STINK.
