Took my dad to the renaissance festival. It was something we did at least once a year when I was younger. We would usually go on the last day, hang out, and catch the last showing of Puke and Snot. Dad was pretty sure they weren't going to be there this year because Snot dies. Well they replaced him. The guy in the blue shirt is Puke and he's the original. Funny guys.

I almost came to blows with my brother this day because he decided to go off with with his wife and kid and mother in-law instead of staying with Dad. The entire reason we're here is to spend time with our father you fuck!

Then on the (what seemed like 10 mile) walk back to the car Dad almost passes out a couple of times (it took over an hour to walk to the car) I am calling my brother, his phone is dead, I am texting his wife we argue because she wanted to know where we were parked (we literally parked right next to them) and then says they'll catch up when they catch up. FUCK THAT BITCH!!!!!!!! Ok I'm better now.

What I struggled with the entire week dad was here was that It seemed my brother couldn't be bothered to come over and spend time with him. It still bothers me, but I know he is loosing his father too, it's not just about me, or dad, but he's processing the same loss just in his own way. I still don't agree with it, but dad didn't seem to be bothered.

Thanks for letting me rant

My dad was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. He is refusing chemo, and was given 12-18 weeks to live.

This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to deal with. He lives in Arizona (me and my brother are in MN). He came up for 10 days to say goodbye to his brother and his childhood friend (who ended up being my uncle through marriage on my mothers side), and us kids of course.

I am grateful I was able to see him again, I know a lot of people weren't able to have that luxury. But saying goodbye to him at the airport knowing that was quite possibly the last time I would ever see him is making me want to crawl in a whole. I don't know how to express what I am feeling. Amanda (the Mrs.) has been great, but I feel like I can't unload on her. I feel like I have to keep this to myself and deal with it internally.

I love my father, I will always love and respect him. He really is a great fucking man. I hope I'll be able to see him again.

Bad picture but this is the view from my cube farm. I looked up one minute and it was day time, looked up the next minute and it was black as midnight, then a hail storm hit us. Good thing I park in a ramp!

When I was a kid I thought I was pretty bad ass for ripping the tag off of my mattress.

Caught a cold the other day and it's been persistent! Had to run to Walgreens for some drugs and I see this from the Celebrity Apprentice. I know I probably lose a lot of points for admitting that I even know what that is! I don't know why but I freaking love that show. I hate Trump, I hate his face and his kids faces but I any not watch that damn show!

Saw this at Wal-Mart this weekend. Now volume 42?!?!? I remember Now Volume 1! I know I'm not old but this makes me feel it. It's actually kind of impressive that they still are around with in the digital era.

It was a co-workers last day we went out to celebrate! Cowboy Jacks is everything you'd imagine it would be. There was expensive drinks, cheap food, redickulous western apparel adorned the walls. They even had a mechanical bull. Yours truly rode that bitch! I only lasted about .000001 seconds but it was funny as hell watching my fat ass try to get on it! All in all it was a good night!

Best way to spend a Friday night, the Mrs. To my right and my cat in my lap. Not picture my big ol' cup of gin! Oh ya and survivor on the TV. Life isn't too exciting at the moment but it's damn good.

In case you don't know there's this funny meme that is probably old news but if you good "oh hai" you'll get some laughs. I did this to my co-workers desk it says "ohi I iz pen" spelled out with pens! This just made my day!!!

This is my cat Alize! I've been trying to test out this camera on my iPhone sometimes the pictures are awesome and other times not so much. I guess you still need to know a little something about photography!

Youri used to call people and say "this is willy Wonka from us bank" Frosty is an Closeted Australian, by that I mean he's from New Zealand HAHA. Anyway, it was a great night!
