Todays Quote: When you're born, you're pure. Unspoiled and trusting. Some say it's the only time we're perfect. You're also born covered in blood and placenta. No one gets nostalgic about that. - Titus from the TV show TitusI'm tired. I'm beyond tired. I'm completely drained and stressed. I'm not even quite sure how I am operating. If this is what our parents went through as they balanced work,

Today's Quote: For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are you're one of them. - Despair.comI've been a piss poor blogger. I'm not sure if my apathy has gotten the best of me. Maybe work stress and raising the A-ren is finally starting to beat my energy level down. The problem is that when I stopped blogging I lost my outlet. Nowhere to vent or post drivel. I'm wasting space....The

You can't trample infidels when you're a tortoise. I mean, all you can do is give them a meaningful look. - Terry PratchettWielding his mighty scepter, the mighty A-Ren continues to spread fear throughout his land holdings. With just a flick of his wrist DVD's and books are lain astrewn like so many corpses on a battle field. Many a squeaky toy has been drooled on. I pity his feline subjects as I

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. -- Frank ZappaHe crawls, he screams, he slaps Ben Stein on the TV screen...He's A-ren! That A-ren is one bad mother... Shut your mouth!How do you come back to blogging after not posting for a month and a half? Head

"When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why god? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, "There's just something about you that pisses me off." - Stephen King. Greetings from the home of the ever famous A-ren. You may call him A-ren the cuddly. Oh but there is a second side to the A-ren. The

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. ~Tom Wilson On this the day of my brother's birth (or birf if your so inclined to pronounce it) I do also bring about the rebirth of my blogging schedule. Today, the great Bicyclemark celebrates the ancient tradition of "damn-those-college-freshman-are-getting-to-young-for-me" day. This is a grand tradition

Why did you give me so much desire? When there is nowhere I can go to offload this desire - "I Have Forgiven Jesus" - Morrissey Frustration is a curious feeling. It doesn't just denote a negative feeling. You can be frustrated about a love that puzzles you. You can be frustrated by a crossword puzzle that has you engrossed. You can be frustrated by any number of ridiculous little things in your

Regrets are worthless, they misconstrue the past. - Midtown I became a hermit for a bit. I blame work mostly. In the end I figure I'll end up blaming myself but work will do for now as an escape. I felt the urge to write. A few times I even turned towards the computer to do it. I just couldn't bend myself to actually plug in, think about how I'm feeling, and type away at the computer. Instead I

"Our country was founded on a distrust of government. Our founding fathers gave power to the people to keep an eye on government. So when politicians say, Trust me, they're actually being very un-American." -- David Duchovny, Canadian actor, "X Files" I'm having the sort of week where I want a refund from my place of employment for the piece of my soul that they took from me this week.

All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant. - Henry David Thoreau Mr. A-Ren has brought a lot of changes into my life. A change in schedule, alteration of responsibilities, added pressure, enormous joy, large sense of pride, elevated self-esteem, and a great feeling of self-worth. He has also given me reason to look back on my life and what I

Making the decision to have a child--It's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~ Elizabeth Stone It's a difficult time in the home. Jennifer, my wife, begins work tomorrow after a 3 1/2 month layoff taking care of A-Ren. So A-Ren will have his first day of daycare tomorrow. Needless to say it has been a very difficult week.

If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide. - Mohandas Ghandi Another weekend, and nothing is accomplished except for avid Olympic viewing. Even Mr. A-Ren digs the Olympics (he seems to like boxing and volleyball the best). I watched more table tennis, badminton, and trampoline than any one human should be forced to endure. Thank god for soccer and beach volleyball.
