Well it is the day before Thankgiving and it is nice to see that the weather is getting into thanksgiving form. Sat at home today with all the kids and kicked back again. Other then that nothing else to really update on. I am in the school from what I understand. I was told that I need to get my cam and mic and get ready to start. After the holidays he is going to email me with a start date. So here it goes. Cant wait to learn how alot of this shit is done. And then apply all the knowledge from the school to the bullshit that comes out of my mouth. Should be some form of radio gold. Well till next time.

2 blogs- 2 days? No doubt a record for me.
Well sat at home and chilled with the little ones. I love these days alone with them. And I get Sara tomorrow as well. So it will be cool tomorrow as well. Cleaned some today nad listen to some radio online. Also sent in some more paperwork for this school I am wanting to get into. I am starting to get that first day of school, butterflies in my stomach. Not at the fact of talking in front of people hopefully down the line. But at the fact that I am about to actually pursue a dream. I mean think of it. How many people actually take a chance and do it? I cant think of anyone that I know. I mean this is a big fuckin deal my friends. This will either be my sucsess story to tell my grandkids or the talk I give to my kids on how at least I tried and failed.
I am sorry this has been the brunt of my blogs lately but I mean it is on my mind. And if all goes well I could have completed the 600 hour course around July or August. Whats that mean? That means that maybe within the next few years I can pollute the airwaves with my voice and knowlege( or the lack of). Either way win lose or draw I am in fact going for it.
And I guess my little devil and angel on my shoulders are telling me ...... EVERYBODY famous or sucsessful had to start somewhere. I know for the handful that have made it there are billions who have failed. I guess that is the rush of it though. What if you maybe....just maybe..... sneak into that elite few of the handful? Needless to say I will still be her bloggin like a mother when I am 70, with my wife, 5 kids, all living in a single wide with the 45 cracked out prostituting, red neck grandkids. Future looks good baby!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving week... full steam ahead!!
I guess there is not a whole hell of alot to blog about. Didn't sleep well last night. And it never fails you get your best deep sleep about 20 minutes before the fucking alarm goes off. Oh well. However, I am very excited about the 3 day off deal that I got starting tomorrow. No have nothing big planned but will enjoy just screwing around with the kids. Hope to get the wife in the woods one of those evenings.
Thanksgiving will be nice. We are going to Bull Shoals this time. We normally have it at our house but Grandma cant make it. And if she ain't there then we bring the party to her. Not that this is a huge deal but this will be the first time, I think ever, that I have not had thanksgiving with my mom. She has to work. Again no biggie but a first non the less. So for the 3 day off nothing big. But that Friday after is the biggie for retail business and we are gearing up for it. Should make some bank on Friday. And God knows we could use it.
I am seriously pursuing Broadcasting courses. And as long as I can get the funding for it then I am gonna take the course. I am not quiting my job babe. But I am gonna see if someone may need some part time help. Cutting commercials, fill-in's, live broadcasts whatever. So I will just have to fit it in around my big boy job as I take a step in pursuing my dream. So baby look at it as I am getting a second job. If nothing else the peanuts that I will be working for part time might be enough to buy our smoke for a month.
And that is why I love my baby. I know deep in her stomach she thinks I am either not gonna finish this, or this is a waste of time, or thinking I am gonna drop my real job and then we can only have the wrappers of the ramen noodles for dinner. Not the case. I will never quite my Lowes job until someone else can match the money. And in this area that just will not happen. And baby on the bright side, and I am thinking big here, there just may be a day when we are moving to a bigger city doing the radio deal. So who the hell knows. Life is a highway so the song says. We are driving on it in the old grocery getter, 5 kids in the back, and taking it one speed bump, one rest stop, one DWI, one road header at a time. I love the ride no matter how bumpy.

Past 4 days
Well another year of deer camp gone by. No deer to show for it but still get that warm fuzzy feeling each year. It is not just the thrill of the hunt or the company of good friends. It means so much more to me. It takes me back to the times I would go with my Dad. He ran our deer hunting like a military mission. Now I am a bit more relaxed then Dad was however the passion is there just as much. I can remember being about 7 or 8 and Dad had just bought me a 20 guage double barrel shot gun. And I would tel Dad the deer I had seen in the wood. He would ask " why didnt you shoot it"? I would come up with a list of reasons but none of them were the true one. But leave it to a Dad to know. He called me out. He put a bottle on top of a fence post and told me to shoot it off. I would simply tell him I dont want to. ANd it was then he knew I was terrified to shoo the gun. I was affraid it was gonna knock me on my ass and hurt. Well after about 30 min I gave it a try. It did hurt but I knew I was gonna survive.
My Dad was such a die hard. We would leave at 4am get in the woods. come out about 11am. have some lunch at the truck. then go in the woods we we were gonna be in the evening catch a nap in the woods and wake up and hunt there till after dark. come home have some dinner, play ards, and off to bed by about 8 pm. And we would do this for almost 7 days straight. And to go that long with no deer is really a bumber. So this weekend we would still be up by 4 and out in the woods when it is still dark. But we would come home for lunch then back in the woods by 130 or 2. and stay out till dark. We did get to bed early. Had to. Yesterday I was on fumes. We did soooo much walking then sitting, my feet and back are still not speaking to me.
And some people may not get it. It is the trill of the hunt. But there is more to it. At least to me. for example the time you get settles in the woods and there is dead silence, the little things you hear are amazing. A grasshopper jumping sounds like a freight train. Or seeing the animals playing. Not to mention the time you have jsut to yourself to think. THink of the past, present future. It is some of the best therapy. Everyone needs to go to a place for about 3 hours at least once a week in dead silence and just reflect.
Well I guess that is it for this post. And Melissa and Megan, please quit blowing up my phone. There is no need to fight over me. And a special shout out to Megan for comming up to Springfield to babysit me in my room on Tues night. Although I was a bad boy the punishment fit the crime and I thank you for that.

Dreams? Are they achievable?
You know I have been listening to Howard Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge on a cult like basis. And I reflect back to the many times someone has told me that I would do great as a radio personality or commentary. Shit like that. And the more I have been listening the more I realize I would love to do broadcasting. I am sure that anyone who knows me knows I love to talk. Now whether I have anything to say or not has never been of relevance but I still spout out at the mouth. And as much as I could picture myself behind the mic at a radio station, internet radio show, or calling a ball game, I realize there is a family here counting on me to provide.
So , when you come to that point when you have the ambition to give it a try and you are ready to take whatever steps are required, how do you talk yourself down? How do you say I am going to abandon what I think I could really be great at? I guess that point comes when you look into your kids eyes and realize you have to put a roof over their head and feed them. So do you just spend the rest of your life dreaming? Do you roll the dice and give it a try? I mean everybody had to start somewhere. Right?
I don't know. I am making good money now, and if I were to pursue I would have to have online classes which I have bombed at before. But I think this is something I would really enjoy. Better then that I know I would love it. Something different everyday. And I get to talk. I cant think of any other talent I have that I could do better. And I am sure that you would agree. Like I said before you may not like the content but I always have something stupid to say.
Anyways for now it is a dream. But I am looking into things. And maybe down the road just maybe, you could be hearing my voice at a football game, on a local radio station, or and internet station. And all 1 or 2 of you can say....." I was there at the beginning when this asshole was talking about it on his 2 person blog". ( my wife being one, My stalker being Megan and maybe even my SUPER stalker Melissa). Well I guess my wife talked me into blogging again so I will be back in either a day or so. Could be a 3 month deal again as well.
