I am now a Master!
Ok...maybe not officially until I get a diploma...but I have just finished all of the requirements for my master's class including the infamous portfolio! I am so glad to finally be done with school. NO more for me...unless I take classes just for fun. If I take something it will be like automotive mechanic or something that I really want to know. Maybe a painting class or a class on web design or something like that. So now....what to do with all the free time I am going to have this year? Hmmm...taking suggestions....
Storm Chasin'!
In my quest to finsih my master's program by editing together my final video presentation, I stumbled across a video of me being stupid. I love storms and chasing them. I found an entire video of my quest to meet God via being struck by lightening. It is hillarious because it starts off with the radio blairing the advanced weather warning beep on the car radio....telling everyone to take shelter...but where am I...in my car shooting video :o)
I know I am crazy...but when I watched this video....I think I may have had an appipahny....I really may be nuts! :oP It looks almost like I am driving through a tornado....but it is just a really terrible thunderstorm. There is even a spot where my car is being pelted with hail...and the cops blocked my direction on the road. Gosh...I miss the Jimmy and the thunderstorms we had last year. We could use some more....I want to try out the Albatrous...AKA..the Impala in the nasty weather. I bet she doesn't handle as well as the 4 X 4. Maybe we'll just have to work on getting a new truck. :o) Or maybe an STi Subaru...that would be sweet. Anyways...if you ever want to see me being nuts...just ask me to show you the video. :o)

Friendship Prayer
Ok...so it's not what you think. I got this from my mom. It is pretty funny!
"May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day...and may their arms be too short to scratch...AMEN"

I was suppose to be there today!

This link will take you to the Detroit Tigers home page...and click on top plays if you have windows media player...you should be able to watch the entire brawl. I was suppose to go to the game. I kind of wish I would've gotten to go now! The Tigers lost, but Farnsworth kicked some "Royal" butt!
I am against fighting in baseball, but sometimes there are exceptions to the rules.
You can check out the USA Today recap.

I have officially started my own compound complex
For the past two days straight I have been erecting a very long six foot tall fence that encompases my entire yard. It kind of reminds me of a fort or something when I was a kid. My body aches and my hands have blisters. But it is complete minus the two gates I need to install. All the fence is hung, and the poles were cemented in. Was it worth it? Right now I say yes. The kids can't get in, which kind of stinks...I liked hanging out with them...but they can't really scale the wall and that makes my yard safer. My dogs love it! No more chain...just free to run around!
My next door neighbor even helped me put up some of it. This whole fiasco with the pond has turned out to be a good thing, and another way for God to work in my life. I had the high of serving in Germany, and then the devil tried to ruin it by blasting me with trials. But I survived and God is making it work for good. That is so awesome...God rocks and satan sucks :oP

You think your week was crazy
Long story short last week sucked... and let me explain why. First, I got home from Germany...and that was nice....but we got to my house and HMB says:
"Joey What HAPPENED to you pond!?"
SOB....some little brats had poked holes throughout the whole thing and it only had maybe 1/2" of water in it. I was so pissed....then I saw one of the culprits....Mr. Corr the Terrible took over.
I yelled and demanded to know what happened. All the people in the apartments start coming out on their balconies to watch and I interrogate the suspect. Through tears I got the explanation...turns out I was sort of right about which kids did it. So luckily HMB tells me to call the police...and I did. The entire apartment complex behind watches as the blue flashing lights pull into the driveway...then take my report...and then goes over to furhter interrogate the suspects. After I filed a report, I had then calmed down enough to talk to the other set of parental figures. Kind of responsive...but not very. I see why their kids are such brats. Filed a report with my insurance...they came through...so I was doing kind of better right....
Then I decide hmmm...I can rebuilt it. So I buy the materials and redo it...next day...some other little runts push all the rocks into the pond...so I blow my top! I go and yell at the kids till I find out which ones did it...and tell them if anyone for any reason steps one foot in my yard they will be going to jail for tresspassing...I then post 5 big orange NO TRESSPASSING sign along my back yard. So far...not one soul has dared enter the lair of the terrible beast Mr. Corr!
Because it sat so long in the heat with no water...it killed most of my plants...so I get the idea to go to Home Depot for some new ones. I am looking at a new pump and looking back at me through the shelf is a kitten. I try to catch it, but it runs away. I get an employee and he tells me they have been trying to catch it for two weeks. I show him where it is and we decide it is time to catch the kitten. BAD IDEA...We catch him alright...but we both get bit! Damn thing was so scared it nearly took the end of the dude's finger off...and bit me after the employee dropped it and I picked it back up. Long story short we caught it, and it is safe and acting normal. But I found that out after I went and had to get a tetnus shot, and was scared I might have to get rabbies vaccinated! I did get some plants for free though...on a positive note.
So then I decide I can relax....WHAM!....I catch a nasty cold. In fact I am still sick and it has been three days...I was scared it was rabbies at first....but it is starting to slowly go away. Hopefully it will be gone by this weekend when we put up the military style fence around my yard...complete with a sniper tower...and machine gun turret to keep little kids from vandalizing my yard any further. :o)
