Back Again.... I think

It seems I was not totally back last time but I was in the middle of things like buying a house, moving into house, and shipping children off to visit their short father. I would be the tall father or the one we call "Bread Winner" or "Moral Compass."

Anyways....

I am back and this time around I have a plan. Well I don't have a plan quite yet but I have a destination in mind. The destination is 8-10 years down the road and of course there is no clear cut path to that destination but there is a goal... no dream.

Medium Goal (8-10 year mark)

• work for myself
• work a quarter of what I work now (40 / 4 = 10 hours a week which still might be high)
• spend a 1/3 of my time on vacation doing something that excites me

Short Term Goal (3-5 year mark)

• buy a boat and land on the river or whatever body of water we are near at the time
• visit Scotland

Drawbacks

• must move in 3-5 years to gain or expand experience in career field
• must find a way to distinguish myself from others in my field
• must pick the right education

Well as dreams go this is where we sit presently. Check back and see how we are doing from time to time. I might even come up with an interesting passive income to help finance my dreams.

disclaimer: All references to My or I really mean my wife and I.

I am back

Ok nothing else to say but I am back.

Ludicrous

I know I should be working but I am taking a short break to get this out of my mind and out into cyberspace.

I come home last night from working out at the gym. I am sweaty but fulfilled. I am greeted by the great diva. She is tutoring our neighbour who has just started university. It is odd to see computer illiterate folks in this day and age. My dad is at that level also but I also thinks he plays it up so he can get cute Filipino girls to help him.

Well... the Diva tells me to go into the oldest's room. I bite. What the hell. There is a girl in there. White. Tall. Short bleach blonde hair. A little on the skinny side. Kinda a gothic feel to her. I was so excited. A girl. I was perplexed as she did not fit the gangsta rapper motif that the oldest has surrounded himself in.

We let them have their room and STUDY. So they start to put on this plea to go to the ludicrous concert in NOLA today but we defer. The oldest actually opted out of the whole deal in the end so I didn't have to be the bad guy which is nice and tell him that I have no desire to hit New Orleans after dark for some time especially a hip hop concert at Tulane.

Well later that night it comes out. THE GIRL was a lesbian. We were crushed. We have nothing against same sex relationships and such. I think the oldest thought we were judging her because of her sexual orientation. Little does he know, we were upset that he hadn't found a new belle and moved on from that immature Italian drama queen in Alabama.

Anyways,
Here is to hooking J Smooth up with a local drama free female.
