Willy Wonka philosophy

I was watching Willy Wonka and I was reminded of my former life philosophy and I had lost sight of it for awhile.  It comes from the song that is played during the chocolate river scene the line is:  “If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it”

We have it so good, paradise is right here right now.

New Bass

Oh yes, the rumors are true.  Today I was majorly blessed when the Band and Sound/Tech team all pitched in and got me a super sweet guitar.  It is an Ibanez Soundgear 530.  So delish!  It is amazing how fab it sounds and it plays like a dream.  It is white with gold harware and a super sweet bridge.  I would post a pic but I couldn’t download it from my uncles pc which is my only internet access here in the mountains.  Much love to all you crazy guys and girls.  ADIOS!

 

You will will meet misfortune if you don’t do this

You must go to http://bears4hope.com/ and give them large sums of money.

They use donations to get build-a-bears and take them to Children’s Healthcare of ATL to make sick kids feel at least 1% better, if not many more percentages better.

They are non-profit and your donation is tax deductible.

If I gave you can, I only made 400.00 in the last 6 weeks.

 

Oh yeah, it was started by an 11 yr old at my church.

1 week on the job

Wow, I never knew how much I loved unemployment.  It has been crazy getting back in the swing of working.  Roofing sales is tough work no doubt but it beats wearing a tie for 23k a year!

New Job!

I have finally been rescued and I now have employment.  I am a sales person for Academy Roofing and our company does roof replacement.  If you know anyone who has an old roof or one that has been damaged please send them my way.

C’est mon fils!

It’s a boy!

Our third child will be our third son and his name will be Rhett Brown, middle name TBD.

Check him out weighing in at a massive 5 oz.

That\'s my boy.

Weird day

I went to FC Men’s Bible study.

I had breakfast at Cracker Barrel and an Edward Norton Clone bought me pancakes, His name was Mark and he is a cool guy.

I got a check for 100.00 given to me by someone I admire.

I went to the gym which is a significant achievement.

I had to leave lunch with friend’s to take my son out of the Hibachi place b/c he hates fire.

I painted an abstract painting.

I will try to eat healthy at a fast food joint tonight. (possible?)
