To start off let’s back up a few years. Like 25 years or so. Growing up in a home with a loving mother and father is where it began for me. Things were normal with my two sisters and my folks. My “more active negative tendencies” began in high school. I’m not really sure what it was that led me down the path but I just started to enjoy physical confrontations.
Playing With Knives, Guns and Fists
So after dinner last night, and playing a bit of the "Circle Game", I told my 17 year old that I let Colton punch me in the face. Mason says, "I'll let him hit me"! And that's what he did. For the next 10 minutes we had a family "Man Session" letting our 6 year …
Opportunity Abounds!!!
Maybe it’s the way I’m hardwired, I don’t know. In my walk thru life I see opportunities every day. I’m more of a YES man than a NO man. See, it’s like you’ve heard before, I don’t want to be 80 or 90 years old and look back on my life and say, “I wish I would’ve”. Living conservatively is not in me. I have a hard-coded set of morals and values that I will not compromise. That being said, I’m down for whatever.
The “Norm” of Kids’ Sports and Why My Youngest Doesn’t Play Them
Security Contracting: I’m riCH!!!!
What's funny about this whole discussion is that it's not entirely true. Many FAGS (former action guys) think, "I'm gonna go work for Uncle Sugar and make MAD money". Maaaaaaybe.
4Runner ECT Button. Should You Push It?
The infamous ECT button has caused quite a bit of discussion over the years. To push it or not to push it. What the heck is it anyway?

How to Prepare for a Deployment to Iraq
Thought everyone would like to see what I should have been doing to prepare to deploy to Iraq! Things to do for a smooth transition when you find out you're deploying:
My Bible Passages
The Bible is not “just a book about religion”. The Bible is a guide book to life. It’ll teach you how to live your life as well as how to raise your children, treat other people, choose and treat your wife, live like a man and so much more.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I’d Definitely Go Again!!
My wife and I like to travel. I mean, like outside the U.S. travel. The U.S. is awesome but there’s a lot to see on this rock and we want to see it all. Except Southeast Asia. She could care less. I on the other hand, loved Japan. Anyway, enjoying travel and being very frugal don’t go hand-in-hand. That’s where me lady comes into the picture. She’s a bargain shopper, even when it comes to travel. We are actually going to Maui, for the second time, this fall and are only paying less than $800 for both of us to stay for 6 days at an all-inclusive. That’s good.
