Just A Thought~
*Most people approach life in cycles of Youth, Adult, Senior. I approach life in cycles of Youth, Dad, and DudePa. I stay with the youth.
- *The nice thing about being over 70 is that for the first time in my life, my immaturity actually works in my favor.
* I remember everything about my youth, whether it happened or not.
* I’m glad I had girls – testosterone sucks… it was only useful when cavemen had to go out and hunt dinosaurs with clubs
* When everyone comes back to my level, they call it a recession – I just call it crowded
* I was a teenager in the ’60s – That’s when America threw up.
* Pursuing your dreams is fine, but life begins when you catch up to them.
* The person who said to give ’til it hurts was a genius – it NEVER hurts to give.
* If you only judge me by my wallet, then I will always be a loser and you will always be a person with no vision.
* I’ve never been much of a pet guy, but then again, I do have several pet Peeves.
Her Senior Year ~
* As a father, I stand for many things, but mostly I stand corrected.
* Sometimes a silent hug is the only conversation that makes sense.
* As a writer, rejections are as common place as hemorrhoids and truckers, grease and mechanics, and the Cubs and mediocrity. But reject my daughter? Oh, HELL no!
* After 18 years of experience, you’d think I would have learned the absolute rule number 1 of parenting: NEVER encourage your children to do anything until you have a clear understanding of the cost!
* Social standing has no meaning for me. I always deal with people on one level – eye level.
Lyrics From My Songwriting~
* I said give me a break, so she broke my heart
* I’m working for nothing, and nothing’s working for me
* Linger on a little longer baby, there’s still a lot of lov’n in me
* I’d give the world a lifetime, to spend a night with you
* I’m not gonna be your ladies night out
* Her love was like a riptide
* My kids have raised me well
* I sure hope there’s life after death, ’cause there ain’t much before it
From Random Writings
* When you give out of obligation, you have given nothing. God judges us by our hearts and only sees what we have given from our hearts.
* When you give compassion to someone in need and see their smile, at that very moment, you are connecting to Gods heart.
* If you are giving and looking for a reward, then you have done nothing of value. The act of giving IS the reward.
