I have decided that kids need to come with spoiler alerts. A little while my little girl, who was 5 at the time, told me about the movie she seen. I really didn't know what movie she was telling me about. but her discription went so:
Gabi: "this one guy his grandpa was died and his friend turned bad and tried to died him then the man who died his grandpa turned even badder and tried to die him."
Me: "Really...then what happened"
Gabi: "He turned into a spider and then tried to die the man who died his grandpa. Then his friend was good and and he helped the spider die the bad man"
At that point I realize she is refering to Spiderman 3 which I had not seen. It turns out her Grandpa on her mom's side let them watch the movie. I decided to rent the movie and was very disappointed to find that she ruined the entire move!
So, I think humans need to evolve at this point and include a message that warns us when a kids is going to give away the ending to a movie

Wrote this in 2007 when my sister's son passed away 2 days after birth.
The night was cold,
the moon was bright.
We were all sleeping,
when you left us that night.
I remember you there,
breathing so still.
You gave us all hope,
you always will.
You were so tiny,
on your little white bed.
With lots of black hair ,
all over your head.
We will always think of you,
when we're old and we're grey.
We will always see you,
when we dream all day.
Kienan, we love you,
this you do know.
Always remember though,
that you gave us hope.
We will see you someday in heaven above
and we will finally show you all of our love.
We love you Kienan.
We did a lot of research and decided the best tv for the amount of money we had was the 32" Vizio 1080p from Sam's Club. It was only $557. Also has good reviews online.
When we got home and hooked it all up we were faced with reality that with only a regular DVD player and only a standard Digital Cable box the picture sucks. Immediately, we called Comcast and ordered an HD Box so we can watch Hannah Montana in FULL HD!!!
I decided that I did not want to spend money on a Blu-Ray player when I don't have any BRDVD's so I went to Best Buy to get an Upconvertable DVD player. The one I wanted was not in but they did have a Sony Blue-Ray out of the box for $212. After the salesperson told me that it upconverts I decided it was a good deal. Later, I will buy a PS3 but for now it is worth it.
Went to Ikea on Sunday and got a new TV stand so that Liam can't reach the TV. Works great for now but I am afraid in a couple of months he will be big enough to get to it. By then he should be able to understand that touching the TV is not a good thing.
Also, at Ikea we picked up a crib and a dresser for Liam. We have decided that when the new baby comes we will give Liam his own room. The theme for his room will be Star Wars, so we got a blue crib. Also it turns into a toddler bed for when he is big enough for that.
I will post pictures of the new crib and the dresser later when they are put together.

It's been a while...Sorry. Been very busy. Will pos t later though. Right now dinner is calling.
We went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival. We had Liam and Gabi so we were to busy worrying about the baby and the heat so taking picture wasn't paid attention to. Silva and I will probably be going again at the end of the festival season, sans kids so we can really enjoy it. We won't be spending any money except on food and stuff but it will be nice to see all the shows. Some of the pics below.
The rest are here
I had a dream the other day.
You were there,
at the end of a tunnel.
You were just a silhouette,
but I could see your eyes,
shinning blue;
brighter than any precious blue gem I’ve ever seen.
My heart was in joy.
The thought of being with you again,
made me ache.
I ran for you.
I ran tell I could feel battery acid pump through my veins.
but you were still just a silhouette.
Black against a sea of white light.
Then you revealed your yourself.
Your brown hair shined against the light
You smiled as if to say:
“I want to hold you.”
A lonely tear, slipped from your left blue eye.
Broken silence, from the drip of the tear on the ground.
Then you turned a walked away.
I ran again.
I tried to reach you.
But the tunnel grew longer,
expanding around me.
Then you blinked out of existence.
You disappeared.
I woke up and had an epiphany:
you want to be there,
lying next to me,
but you can’t,
and that kills you inside.
And no matter how much I try.
I will never reach you.
The very thought of you makes the pain grow.
Found this out there on the nets. Her is the write up from the site
planetrock.com.au.
"In preparation for the release of the brand new Oasis album "Dig Out Your Soul" we're delving into the Planet Rock archives to bring you an incredible treat.
In December 2006 Oasis band leader Noel Gallagher took some time out to play an intimate live show in Melbourne, Australia. This show has since been one of the rarest, most sought after and talked about live recordings of Noel's best songs.
Only six tracks were ever broadcast but now we have the concert in full for your watching and listening pleasure.
Ladies and gentlemen...enjoy!"Of all the Oasis songs my favorites ones are the Noel sung Acoustic ones. So when I saw this I was excited that this is Noel singing all of the best songs they have plus a Beatles song to boot. The track list is as follows:
01. (It's Good) To Be Free
02. Talk Tonight
03. Fade Away
04. Cast No Shadow
05. The Importance Of Being Idle
06. Listen Up
07. Half The World Away
08. Wonderwall
09. Whatever
10. Slide Away
11. Strawberry Fields Forever
12. Don't Look Back In Anger
13. Married With Children
These are all some of my favorite songs. Amazing! Check it out
hereUPDATE!There seems to be a problem with the video. I will try to find it elsewhere. to make up for it her is the new video for
"The Shock of the Lightning"
The sky rose above me as I entered out.
I look around to see what life is all about
through the dreams of my desire.
I didn't know what to do.
through the dark I could inspire,
My dreams to work through.
I took my life so gently and pushed it though a door
but the world seemed so mighty
when your life is no more.
I walked away from hope
and never went back.
I just couldn't cope when my world was turning back

I am a huge Oasis fan. So this past weeks release of the single, "The Shock of the Lightning" off their upcoming album, "Dig Out Your Soul" has me really excited. From this track you can tell that Oasis is making a return to it's old self. I found a link from
Talktonight.co.uk that has a download of the song for you.
"The Shock of the Lightning"Also, her is the album version of "Falling Down" from Talktonight.co.uk as well.
Falling Down
I show the world what it is like to be me.
A tiny microbe in a sea of beauty.
Floating through the abyss of my mind.
In a world so hard to find.
What does the world teach me?
These things I may never see.
Through all the patterns of life;
a house, a kid, a wife.
That's all I will ever need.
It teaches me to love...So I may see.
I work at FedEx Ground as a Package Handler on the evening shife. I have been there for 1 year today. I really enjoy this job but the hours are from 4:30PM to 9:30PM. As a result I never see my wife, Silva. She works from 8AM to 4:30PM, I am sure you see where the problem. I see her for maybe an hour at night before bed. The only time we have together is on the weekends...And we are way to busy on the weekends to enjoy each other. We always seem to fight and it is really getting old fast. Today, I told my manager I want to switch shifts to the morning shift....3AM to 9AM. Sure I half to be up early but whatever I will be just happy to be able to see my wife.
What has the light in my eyes shown me?
Have I seen the way?
The street signs blur as I pass too fast
The beautiful moon passes through the clouds,
as the big night dies.
I open my eyes
The moon light consumes me.
I am infinite,
and my dreams are the way.
I will be doing these regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
