More Walking Dead and stuff

Well Bob was bit, and in that one episode Bob became one of my favorite characters.  So sad, but I loved how he threw it in their face that he was infected.  Like it sux I am going to die, but since I am HA, you eating tainted meat.  What a way to face the zombie death and cannibalism.

Tyreese is like a ticking time bomb, and I am afraid that it might explode on the group.  Or miraculously help the team out.  Who knows, but it is coming.  I do feel better when he is watching Little Ass Kicker (Judith)  I think she has helped him realize that sometimes you got to do bad things to prevent bad things.  I was a little disappointed to see that he let Martin live after he threatened Judith's life.

Glenn and Maggie may be a little tired of Rick and some of the violence.  Just from their looks last night when the head bashing began.  Which is stupid, they need someone like that on the team, how many times has the tough decision been made and implemented by Rick?  Oh well we will see them shortly.  I think.

Is it just me, but Eugene and Ford a full of crap, right?

Who is with Daryl?  Why they hanging back, if it was Carol why wouldn't she be by his side?  Pick up a straggler?  Carol stay back with Beth?  I am assuming that next episode will be all about Beth and where she has been and possibly what Daryl and Carol have been doing, again I am assuming that Daryl and Carol, found Beth, or at least where she is being held.

IMDB has the title of the episode which leads us to believe that it is a Beth focused Episode, the description is vague as usual.

I have always liked the Morgan Jones character, probably because I like the actor.  After season 1 I kept saying I miss that guy, then they bring him back all crazy and what not.  And I was glad to see that he is back, hope he joins the cast, and is Sane.

I liked last season because it seemed that they had a couple of chances to relax.  I like to relax.

I intentionally have avoided the Graphic Novel, I don't want any spoilers.  That isn't to say that I will not make predictions.

When this show ends I will probably go back and read the Graphic Novel.

That is a weird name Graphic Novel, it does make sense the one's I have looked at.  Some are a bit too graphic and seem to exist to be more graphic than novel.

Cowboys play on Monday night.  I hate weekday football.  Throws off my whole week.  It's Jerry's fault.

Baby girl is crawling everywhere, and now pulling up.  Talking more and really strong.  Very health and I am extremely grateful for that.

Killed a snake in the garage last week.  Tiny little thing was probably harmless, but it had to die.  Hit it 127 times with a broom handle.  Probably died on whack #2.

We have a bobcat that roams around our back yard from time to time.  That thing is big.  I like bobcats, they eat rats mice and snakes.  Some small dogs might want to avoid.

People are getting dumber, more lazy, more dependent, and more annoying every day.

For the dumb;  listen more and yap less.  Do it until you get it right.

For the lazy. click here

For the dependent also click above.

For the annoying, STOP IT!  Click above for safe measure.



For those of you that say Fox News is Conservative... maybe so, but in that same note you need to admit that all the other 24 hour news stations are liberal.  Conservatives have known this for years.  That is why Fox News has been so popular.  For a group of people that scream tolerance they sure arent tolerant of a Conservative news program.

My baby girl is Awesome!

Been lifting weights fairly good for the past two weeks.  I'm Sore.

I want to be more creative.  This blog sux and doesn't make me feel creative.


Funny of the day, and true.

Walking Dead Spoiler Alert

Walking Dead is a great show.  So I will assume that all 2 of my readers watch the Walking Dead, last episode Bob was taken hostage and will be used as a means of sustenance, starting with his legs.  I had the notion that he was infected before being kidnapped and I still feel that may be true.  I think he was bitten while at the food bank and in the water one of the evil bastards bit him on the leg.  That would explain him acting weird.

The other explanation of him acting weird could be that his buddies were drinking wine while resting in the church, he is a alcoholic and was feeling the urge to pound back a few, but resisted.

I hope he is infected, not to loose Bob, but to take a few of the captors out in the process.  He is already down one leg and will be a burden to the group.  Hershel having only one leg was one thing, they were held up in a fairly secure prison and did not need to flee at the spur of the moment.

Anyway this season is looking good.  Please let me hear your thoughts.

End of the world

We always hear about the end of the world, be it zombie apocalypse, nuclear war or the biblical Armageddon.  Truth is we will not know when it will happen and people have been saying the end is near for 2 thousand years.

It will be ushered in by political correctness, a false sense of love, and bullshit.

In thinking about what it means to be Conservative I often think of my fathers childhood.  He was raised in a very poor home.  He made if very clear to me growing up that I had it good.  Not in a demeaning way but just so you know this is how I had it, and others around you don't have it as good as you do..  He was doing this so I would be thankful, and I was.  One story of his was how he got a new pair of shoes once a year.  ONE, no sports shoes, and dress shoes, or casual shoes, one pair for the year for everything.  Now this may have meant that he had to play during recess in what I imagine as semi formal leather lace up shoes of the time, and he would have to play outside and get them dirty knowing that as soon as he was done it was time to clean.  Remove mud, brush, clean with saddle soap, oil if necessary, apply polish if necessary.   He at a young age was taught a valuable lesson in taking car of you stuff.  It really wan't a lesson as much as it was a way of life.  He passed this lesson along to me, I know how to take care of leather shoes and boots.  To this day keep a brush, can of mink oil, and rags ready to keep em looking good.  Other times his lessons in taking care of things were a bit harsh.  I could tell that he was mad and why he was mad because I knew enough of his child hood to understand.  That made me feel worse.  Here I was getting all the things he never was able to, and not taking care of them.  What a slap in the face to my father.  Sorry dad.


If you know you are only getting one pair of shoes a year, you will take care of them.  Today we can tell kids this but they know they will get another pair.  Plus they have workout shoes, dress shoes, casual shoes.  I hear all the time, we have to have this stuff!  Shoes, dresses, costumes for theatre, football cleats.  Today the school doesn't provide much and if you want your kids active you will be buying stuff.  But where does the lesson fall.  On one hand we want our kids active, we want them in programs, in sports.  But each time we get them gear, costumes, what ever we are teaching them that they get stuff for free.  However this could be taught as they are getting what they need.  I hope so because I feel like I am letting them down by getting them what they need, when we still give them what they want.  I think backing off what they want is the key and open communication about how they are getting all this stuff when others don't have any stuff.

As parents we want to provide, we also want to give.  Giving is where we should tap the breaks.  Kids do not need all they have and if they get into a routing of getting 90% of everything they want they will be disappointed as adults.  I have said for some time, spoiled kids make unhappy adults.  Parents jobs are to raise well adjust Christian adults. As adults we don't get everything we want and should have learned by then how to filter our need vs want.  I deal with this all the time.  Harley, Man Barn, swimming pool.  We try to justify them but it all boils down to soul searching and realizing that this is a want and not a need.  Now where do we draw the line.  I am not saying live like a monk, but We as parents need to do better in teaching our kids need vs want.  


Being conservative has little to do with politics, it has to do with conserving and not living with excess.

What do we really need, not what do we want.

Been a while.  Busy with baby, work and yard.  Had a little garden this year.  Got started late but grew some nice squash.  I also planted tomatoes and cantaloupe.  The tomatoes I believe were too late in the season and have not produced anything.  The squash I believe has produced the last of the bunch.  I noticed last night the cantaloupe has developed four small cantaloupes and I have high hopes for them.

Lessons learned...

Start when you are supposed to.  There are thousands of resources out there that tell you when to plant.  I ignored them all.

Plant more.  I had one squash plant and that was plenty for our family, but I really should have planted some zucchini, okra, peppers, just to have some variety.

Meet other residential gardeners and start trading.

Grow from seed starting a couple of months before the suggested planting date.

Tillers are awesome.

I have started studying the Bible again.  I have drifted away from that and my happiness is a direct mirror on my relationship with God.  We moved and have yet to find a church home.  I believe that to grow as a Christian we need a church home.  I hear all the time that to be a Christian you do not have to go to church.  Maybe not but to grow as a Christian we have to fellowship and bear fruit.  Not sure how that analogy came about but I understand it.  I don't think to be a Christian we have to go to church but as Christians we will want to.  Not having a church home leaves a hole in me.  I want a church I want to be in a life group and meet with people that deal with the things I deal with.

One of our issues is that we have a teenage girl that really does not want to go to youth group.  We keep trying to find the perfect church for her.  That may be our problem.  I usually forget myself at that age and I did not want to get out of my comfort zone either.  My parents made me.  I believe we will have to do that with her.  I feel for her not wanting to be around other teenagers, teenagers suck.  I do not want her to carry that trait too far.  She will eventually have to learn to deal with others.  Might as well start now.

Boys

The young lady in the house has a boy she likes.  UGH..  Not sure I am ready for this nor am I capable of making this a smooth right of passage.  I am her step father but I am also the one in the family that is most protective of her.  Which makes for interesting arguments.  The boy is no good.  Plain and simple, he will never amount to much and has no real positive characteristics.  I know almost every father has said the same thing about their daughters first boyfriend, but I can prove it.  Not now but maybe soon.

I saw the following on Facebook today.

I love this, it says a lot.  Unfortunately our boys now a days are not really boys on their way to being men.  The boys today do not pick girls up, they do not pay for dates, they are boys that want to date but do not want any of the responsibility of dating.  Now that school is out they do not get to see each other every day.  YES!  Hold on though, about once a week he gets invited to summer outings with my family while I am at work.  He does not pay for anything, and he has to be picked up.  As parents my wife and I make sure when our kids go somewhere they have money, we make sure they offer to pay their way.  That leaves it up to the host parent to say "thats ok" or "no thank you we got it".  Not this boy.  Big ole mooch.  So reason # 157 why I don't like this kid.  So I am trying to slow things down with this boy, show her that in the future he will not be a good husband.  He is a little boy, in mental development and size, I pointed this out to her and said what if a wild animal attacked you?  How would he defend you, you know what she said?  "I will protect him".  Wow.  Did we fail as parents?  OR is this puppy love and the young lady making any excuse to put him in a positive light?  I really hope this kid moves or gets put in prison soon because I really want her to have a boyfriend that is on his way to becoming a man, who treats her great and wants to take care of her.  Is that too much to ask for?  The young boy in the house turned 13, he will treat girlfriends the right way, he will pay for dates, and his girlfriends parents will not pick him up.  That I can promise.
