Fun at the Beach

It was a bit chilly and windy today but fun was still to had at the beach. Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.  I am off to LA tomorrow for the Electronic Entertainment Expo. I will be taking pics but not sure if I will be able to upload. Have a great week.

Peek-a-boo

Life Worth Livin'

This song is sung for anyone that's listening
This song is for the broken-spirited man
This song is for anyone left standing
After the strain of a slow, sad end

It seems everybody wants what someone else has
There's sorrow enough for all
Just go in any bar and ask
With a beer in each hand and a smile in between
All around's a world grown mean

We've all had our ups and downs
It's been mostly down around here
Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear

Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin'
That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
Yeah, we're all looking for a life worth livin'
That's why we pray for our souls to keep

There's nothing left now but broken pieces
Of one man's broken will to care
And in the end before all is said and done
How many others might follow him there?

Good and Evil

People are not either good or evil. The world is not either black or white. It is a beautiful murky gray.

People are complex. A person I may dislike may be loved by many others. He could be a jerk to others but a loving son to his mother. She may be very surface at the bar but thoughtful and intelligent in a different setting.  I have very diverse friends. It is almost impossible to put them all together in a room without conflict. I try to find the good in each and accept the evil.  I love them all for the complete person that they are.

I don't even get myself.  I am a loving father, husband, and friend. I am a pacifist and vegetarian. I am spiritual. But, I know that I could kill if someone hurt my family. I know I can be short tempered.  I know that I have hurt people with my words and actions. 

I guess I am human. The sum of all these blacks and whites, goods and evils. Just like everyone else on earth. A beautiful and murky gray.

Family Silliness

Three birds with one stone..ummm photo. For Flickr groups.

TOTW - The Many Faces of Me - Silly

FGR - It's Silly Day

=tHe VeNt= - Love and Lust - I love my family. They are my favorite people on Earth. I also love the fact that I did not have to ask twice for them to willingly take this picture.

Quick edit of this. Tried to make it look like one of those picture booths.
