Thursday was a great day! My dad surprised me for my birthday and flew me out to Palm Springs, California for my birthday. I have never been a golfer but the bug recently has really bitten me. Being here, you have no choice but to like golf.
Friday, my dad, my uncle (who’s house we are staying at), and myself headed up to the Mountains course at Big Horn Country Club. According to my uncle, this is the 5th hardest course in the Western US. I had an excellent drive off the first tee. After that, I wish I could say it was “downhill.”….It was worse. I lost more golf balls than I could keep count of. I probably killed a few lizards in the bushes and fish in the water. But this is only the 2nd time I have ever played. I have been going to the driving range for years but never felt confident enough to play a full round. After yesterday, I realized how much fun golf can be, even if you suck.

The most important thing though was that my dad actually played too! He hasn’t played in over a year due to the profound effects chemo had on him. He hit a few birdies and had a couple AMAZING drives. Not bad for a man that had lost about 65 pounds and had a tumor the size of a volleyball. He gained about 40 pounds back so far but the cancer came back and the new chemo treatments are going to be much different. We don’t know how much weight he will lose again but the weight loss won’t be nearly as drastic as before.

Saturday we got up, went to get some breakfast and then I had a lesson with an instructor and she was phenomenal! One hour with Amy and everything is completely better. My swing and my drives are all improved. Like night and day improvement.

Today, there might be another lesson or a round of golf, or both. There is also In-N-Out Burger in my future. Can’t wait for that! I don’t think I have had it since I moved back from Scottsdale.

For my music selection this week, I am going with two videos. They aren’t related to this blog this time but they are two close friends who are cranking out some great stuff!

The first one is, “Talk Myself Out of Loving You” which was written by Leigh Houison and Adria DeLaune. They are both super talented and are writing some great songs! This is Leigh singing it at 12th and Porter


The other song is “Wild as Me” by Kelly Paige. This girl has something special. I see very bright things in her future. I also see lots of cocktails in her future ;)


The quality isn’t very good so I suggest you go listen to the song on her myspace page

Just a note: I wrote most of this Wednesday night


It's so frustrating to watch someone torture themselves. Ive spent the
last couple of weeks watching someone I barely know tear themselves up
over someone that took advantage of what they had. This girl is truly
amazing. Her smile is electric and her eyes sparkle. I won't name
names but she knows who she is. And while you probably don't know her,
either you are going through something similar or you know somebody.

Guys, why must you hurt the good girls? I understand the concept of
"the game." I understand wanting what you can't have. I really do. But
in the long term, you're setting yourself up for pain. Guys, I hate to
break it to you but women rule this world. It might take you years to
figure that out but when you do, you will come back to me and say,
"damn. you were right." The world will be happy because the men are
happy because the women are happy. It's cyclical.

So I started this blog to talk about me. The very first one ends up
being about someone else. I guess that's the story of my life.
Devotion to others.

Well that was an interesting turn of events. She went from being
totally depressed to sporting one of the best smiles I have seen.
Earlier i tweeted:

"These are the smiles I've worked so hard for. Watching her genuine happiness is an amazing feeling."

I took a picture. The smile is like a kid on Christmas. I might
share it with you guys at some point or I might not and just keep it for
myself.

This was a weird deal. "Tough deal" as she frequently says. I am drawn
to this girl. I want her to be happy. Those are my only intentions. My
friends' happiness is very important to me but I can't think of any of
my friends that I have gone so far to help get over a broken heart
other than her's.

I think that's enough for now. Because I am such a big music person, I am going to try and leave a song, or video relating to the post.

Tonight's is "The Guy That Says Goodbye To You" by Griffin House

***DISCLAIMER***

Ok guys. I am going to say it one time. If you know me, this won't come as a shock. I am not politically correct at all. I say offensive things. I make inappropriate jokes, and I laugh at things that some people wouldn't. I don't apologize for those things. I am who I am and I say what I feel. I don't ever plan to attack anyone on here. I am not vindictive or malicious but I am not anywhere near a "G" rating (hence the agreement you had to accept before reading this).

I am grateful that you care enough about me to want to read my thoughts, however, please keep in mind the following rules:
1) I am not forcing you to read this blog.
2) You read at your own risk.
3) I am not responsible for your feelings or personal beliefs.
4) I will not apologize to anyone unless I purposely call someone out and I am wrong about it.
5) I will speak about religion, sex, drugs, alcohol, music, and a plethora of other topics.
6) If you have a topic you feel strongly about and I offend you by saying something about that topic, don't expect an apology. I do have a conscience and if I am wrong, I will admit it.
7) TO BE CONTINUED...When I think of more rules....IT IS MY BLOG DAMMIT!
