Time has moved forward that fast

Time has become an infinite vortex that I can no longer predict, nor control. Ruby has taken everything I have had to offer off the table. In many ways this is great, because I can focus on being her whipping post. Being a father has really changed me recently. I must admit that there has been some mild postpartum for me. But, I have finally come out of the fog and I am really taking to the parent thing. Ruby is the light of my life. Never did I think that I would see life, her or Emily in a different light. Even with all the lack of sleep, missed work days and money going right into diapers, life is the best it has ever been.

On the other hand, 10 years ago today I began my Hookahville adventures. Really, within the past 4 years have I NOT been to a Hookahville. Actually, I haven't really been to shows too much since I stopped working for Michigan's hardest working rock band, Covert Operations. I couldn't even imagine just dropping everything to go to a show any more. The cost of gas alone is high enough to scare you from even going into town for the groceries. My family has puleld me away from music, friends, shows, video games and even other family members. Emily and I are just focused on raising the best kid possible. So why am I looking back? Well, Memorial day weekend is that time we look back and thank all of our Vets. The people like my grandfathers and all of the Vets from the past to the present are to be honored. The whole weekend is usually filled with music, friends, BBQ and the first real push off before the summer. I would like take a moment to reflect and thank those who fought over seas to fight & hold true to our core beliefs and freedoms. It might seem silly now a days, but we have thousands of proud men & women that are paying the price for having a President that believes so strongly about making money on oil. America's children are all over the place, not just in the middle east. The earth quakes in China, the relief in Burma, all sorts of relief to Africa. The duty and role of the current Military is far different today and I think that gets lost in the shuffle. Esepcially when the media is more concerned about beating every ounce of stupid they can from the Democractic Primary. Which Hilary should just bow out of. Thank you troops and we hope to see you all home and safe very soon. Have a good holiday folks
