I am starting this blog even though I don't really know what I am doing because I just need an outlet to post my observations, poetry, lyrics, stories, or whatever happens to be on my mind at any given moment. I suspect no one will ever read it but maybe my wife, and that is ok with me. So I will begin with a quick run-down of me...I am 41, working on PhD in Psychology, married for the second time going on 10 years now. My wife is my best friend, as well as a handful sometimes (she knows it) but it is my source of joy. We have 5 kids combined. Pretty much good kids by the worlds standards. I am Mormon, which to intelligent people doesn't mean anything negative, to stupid people they think I have ten wives, worship Satan, and hold cult sacrifices...stupid right?!? Anyway, I work as a counselor (substance abuse) and a college instructor. I try to be a good man and not let the world get to me, but despite it all I am still human. You (the reader) will find all sorts of ranting and raving on this blog. So be prepared. But for what it is worth, enjoy it, or not, your call.
