I’m just a small town guy living in a big world. I’m glad I was raised “small town.†It has a way of grounding you. They’re simple, just like I can be.
My daughter kicks ass and I’m not the only one who thinks that. She can be hella entertaining. I’m glad she gets to spend nearly all of her time with me. I’m not sure what I’d do without her.
Family is important. I love mine. I’m truly lucky to have a family that doesn’t bicker or fight and that I enjoy being around. My only regret is that I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like. Maybe someday that will change, but for now my place to be is here.
I’m pretty laid back. I like to laugh and can get along with nearly anyone. I’m pretty sure the world’s problems could be solved by sitting around the table and throwing down a few brews at Hudsons on a Friday night, assuming it’s a good roll call. BTW, Amanda kicks ass.
College football is the single greatest sport in the world. I grew up in Nebraska and will be a Husker fan until the big man upstairs decides it’s time for me to kick the bucket. There’s no place like Nebraska on a game day. I was lucky enough to go to a lot of games with my dad when I was younger and still enjoy the opportunities to go to games now. The Chicago Cubs would be my second choice in sports teams. When it comes to baseball, you can’t witness it in any place greater than Wrigley Field. I took my daughter there for her first Cubs’ game this summer and she loved it.
Women are a mystery. Some seem out of reach, some I wish I could push out of reach and some are just… well… crazy. The question remains, are any close to what I consider perfect? I sure hope so. There have to be some fun, laid back, sports loving, happy hour loving, well humored, happy-go-lucky women out there somewhere. If you see them, send them my way.
I like my job. I feel like I work with and for some good people and that a lot of good people work for me. I don’t dread going to work. I may work a lot of hours, but don’t really have any complaints about that. I’m not sure that I’d want to work for any company other than the one I work for now. Only time will tell.
Some things I’ve learned: Nobody’s perfect, trust can be hard to give and harder to earn, family and good friends are invaluable, Fruity Pebbles kick ass, not to wait to say how you feel because there’s the chance tomorrow may never come, it’s hard for some people to be who they really are and you are who you are when nobody else is around.
Some things I still want to know: Is it better to be loved or feared? Did the chicken or egg come first? Why are there so many stupid people in the world? Why do people drive slow in the fast lane? Why should homeowners who made bad loan choices expect everyone else to feel sympathy for them and want to bail them out of a loan they should have never taken just to reward them and/or their lender for their stupidity? And, where’s that girl I was describing earlier?
