SOOOUUULL PAAATROOOOLL!

So this MySpace is being used as a tool for online predators, the news and media seem shocked and outraged. Here is what I have to say about it all.

The world is a f-ed up place. All the beauty in life and all the good doesn't change the fact that sick people do bad things. With that in mind enjoy yourself and look for the beauty in things... But do it with a head on your shoulders.

Going online and placing a picture of yourself in a sexual pose wearing hardly or no clothing at all is the first item on the list of things NOT TO DO if you are looking to avoid being stalked or harmed by an online predator. Parents need to take a bigger role in the whole deal as well. It isn't MySpace's fault that kids can't follow the guidelines set forth directly by the site. Kids not following rules ultimately comes down to the parents.

Enough of that... On a much brighter note, Taylor Hicks won American Idol!

If he would have lost, I might have never watched television again. Pretty sweet when 63 million people can vote on a reality TV show, and the most votes any president has received is just over 62 million. What a great country we live in.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
