OMG... Lenny is going up my nose.

I was just looking at this picture again

I am so in love with this woman. I am an angry, bitter man... But every moment I spend with Shannon makes me delriously happy and rue the fact the we're not eternal. If I could, I'd do nothing else but hang out with her. All day, every day, forvever. She's my best friend and I'm amazed and overjoyed that she wants to be my wife.

Words to live by

Those of you that know me now that I base of lot of the decisions I make on the criteria found in the art of war. I also know that a lot of you won't read it because it's not exactly a page turner. Well, let me boil it down for you. If you take nothing else away from the book, remember this:

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

You want success? Willing to do the work it takes to get it? Then live these words and you'll win. It boils down to this.... Every mentor I've every had, even those I know now to be fatally flawed but still worthy of thought, has told me the same thing. Choose your battles.

Well....

Very tired, very disenchanted, very disappointed in those I thought I could count on. Oh, and I'm 36 now. Hurray.

Things I've learned today

1) I have an uncanny ability to judge character and aptitude.
2) My neighbor's blackberries make a KICK ASS desert.
3) Bourbon provides absolutely NO relief from the burn of Mazzetta habanero sauce... OH FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST MY TOUNGE IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maker's Mark, you have failed me for the last time! Oh what am I saying, you know I love you.
4) Hmmmm... Uhhhhh.... Well, F it that's it.
5) Oh wait I got it! I enjoy watching people being eaten by wolves.

OK, that's it. That's all that's all the knowledge I gained in the last 24. Hope it helps you.
