Blogging, Part Deux

Blogging, it seems to be much like drinking Jagermeister. The first one was the hardest.  The second one seems like it will go down easier, but look out world when Blitz gets schnitzed!

Many of you know that my fraternity nickname is Blitz, and it was not for my MAD skills as a quarterback. It is a name that I earned, no question about that and even though I retired at the top of my game from the world of competitive drinking, I have still been known to leave a few youngsters under a few tables from time to time every couple of years, just to remind them who the real Viking is!

Vikings are a topic best left for another day. Stay Tuned!

Well, Cathy and I are taking our 4, that’s right, I said 4 children camping this weekend. Please pray or keep a good thought for our traveling mercies and that we both return to our homes with the proper number of offspring. The weather prediction is for “Summer Campout” weather. My ADM peeps will understand that this translates to Sunshine, with intermittent thunder showers. We are tenting so this should be fun.  “Lord, if you’re listening, I would dearly love a restful weekend, Amen”

I sometimes believe that my life is a reality TV show in heaven. I am pretty sure that I hear the laugh track rolling while I scream at drivers who I am sure are carrying a Cracker Jack Box top where there drivers license should be.  I can also feel the eyes of my forebears on me when things get serious, I can only hope that they are proud of what they see.

Well, I don’t get paid to blog, so I’d better hang it up for today. Where we are going, there is no electricity, no cell phone signal and certainly no Wi-Fi, so we will see you on Monday.

Happy Memorial Day, Never forget to be grateful to those who paid, and continue to pay the price for freedom. Be Blessed.

In the Beginning......

Great way to start huh? I read that somewhere...

This is my first attempt at blogging so, be gentle in your critique. Unless of course you wan't a piece of me~!
If so, then BRING IT! >;-)

I am a 45 y/o almost divorced father of 3. I'd go into details but they are largely depressing and I'd like the first installment of my blog to be somewhat positive. I have 3 Wonderful children, Valeria (Lera) 17, Victor 15 and Karina 12.  I have a wonderful girlfriend Cathy,  who puts up with me for God only know what reason. and She has a little boy, Matthew 7 who, despite some developmental issues, is a joy much of the time.

I moved my family to Lafayette,  NY about 5 years ago, at the request of my soon to be ex wife. Her reasons are no longer important, but my reasons ar still valid, so here we still are. I wanted my kids to grow up in fresh air, with small-town values. Long Island is no longer the place it was when I was growing up and even though I miss it terribly at times, and especially the family and friends I left behind, I feel justified that my kids are developing and growing better here, so it's worth the sacrifice.

It's not all sacrifice mind you,  because we did move into the middle of the best support system anyone can ask for. A big Shout out to the Alpha Delta Mu Alumni Association~! My brothers, My friends, who have helped me in ways I cannot begin to thank them enough for. I love you guys/gals.

I am 45 as mentioned above and it's true. I do not know what I wanna be when I grow up. I have been to told to figure out what it is I love to do and find a way to make a living doing it, but there isnt much call for sleep-study subjects and the other things might be felonies in this state! Kidding on the second part.... My dream job would be to get into broadcasting, or ideally to do cartoon voiceovers and voice acting. But the field is not really very open and jobs, especially in the CNY region are scarce. I have been told countless times that I should be on the radio or television and am asked often to do cartoon impressions. While it is fun to do, it doesnt build up a resume of accomplisments...

Well, thats me in a nutshell. I will blog a bit more as the mood strikes. Be Blessed!
