CNN.com - Inmate gets reprieve hours before execution - Jun 29, 2004
Why? Did something change other than the elderly lady not coming back to life? Just because he was 17 makes it OK that he beat someone to death? I doubt that.

So it was another short and busy weekend. Fri night I helped a freind work on his quad. Sat I worked. The wife worked with me. It was busy and the tips sucked!!! People are so cheap these days. If they don't want a tip jar they should understand the average wage is $2 tip per person MINIMUM. When the bridal family tips at the end of the night the average is .50$ per person. Lousy cheap asses! If they don't want to fork out $200-$500 in tips to the bartender than let them have a tip jar!!! Stop being arrogent and selfish. It makes you and your new family look cheap.
Sun we got up after five hours sleep. Drove too far to ride too little only to drive back home tired, dirty and frustrated. Between being tired and dealing with other people I got a little testy at times. Oh well. As much shit as others give me about my riding skills or anything else, at least I was riding in the first place. I carried the boy all over, he loves it. I'll bet he sleeps till 11am today.

I got another email complaint from a DeBault I never met. It seems they do not care for my blog. They feel I am abrasive and use foul language.
I got a few words for you: "Fuck off! You do not pay for this domain. You do not control this domain. I am a full blooded DeBault. That gives me a right to use the name. I am also a full blooded American, that gives me the right to write whatever I want. You know, that 'free speech' thing. If you don't like this blog, don't fucking read it! And once again Fuck Off!"
Is that clear enough? No? OK let me state things difrently: "Fuck off! I don't know you. You do not know me. If you would have taken five minutes out of your life to contact me nicely I might consider listening to you. You are nothing to me and do not spend the money it takes to run this blog each year! I own this domain, I am this domain and I will own this domain for at least another 20 years. And then will pass it to my boy. So once again Fuck Off!"
Let me know if you need me pointed out at our next family reunion. Oops, I have never been invited to one.
Oh well, fuck off.

I just had some type of epiphany that half of 2004 is already over with. It's amazing how fast time starts slipping away after you hit 30. I am really freaking out about it too.
I have decided that with the approval of the wife I want to buy land the next time we go to move. I would rather live in a trailer on 20 acres than live in a house on 1/4 of an acrea or less in most cases. I feel it's important to have plenty of room for Steven to run around on. We can have our dog and have room for all our little hobbies. We are not really the suburban type people anyways. The wife and I do really well in a downtown setting. And equally as well in a country setting. But we seem to fail in the close knit communities or suburban areas. People tend to bug us. So why do we do well downtown? Because EVERYONE minds their own business. In suburbia they are all busy bodies.
Anyways, time is slipping buy and I think land is going to be the only strong investment we can leave to the boy. College will be tough enough. And he will be taught from day one of kinder that his future also depends on his school life. Some type of free ride will be a good investment in himself. Let's just hope he understands by the time high school hits.
I think this is going to be my last year of bartending. I am hoping we will not need the extra $$$ after this year. And I really dislike all the time it's starting to take. But we will have to see. I seem to be doing good at it. And like some of the people I have met.

Well I finally have a moment to throw some words on the screen.
I had a good weekend. I had to bartend Friday night. It was a private ride for a bunch of interns and doctors. It was open bar. Now you would think that a tip jar staring you in the face would alert you to the fact that the bartender is not working for free. And 15% gratuity is chump change for the amount of work that goes into drinks. Throw 50 or so frozen drinks into the mix and you get a little pissed off. The place I work always over staffs and has some fucked up views on pricing. But I guess that's why it's just a hobby. I had nothing else better to do anyways. We had the boy and the wife never wants to do anything except go to here parents house.
Sat was normal in the morning. Just relaxing and hanging out. We took the wife to work at 2pm and the boy and I went to go riding. We rode the trails for a few hours and then came back to camp. He went swimming with the other kids and played with trucks. Then he got to ride a little Suzuki 50 by himself. He was really loving that. Then I spent two hours teaching my friends 14 year old cousin how to ride a quad. I make a decent teacher. To bad I don't have that much paitence all the time. We had to leave at 9:30 to pick up the wife. I'll be glad when she doesn't work weekends anymore. Or when Steven starts school and she can work during the day.
Sunday was Father's Day. I wasn't in a great mood. But I delt with it. It's sad that most of the time my wife feels the largest part of my bad moods. I love and adore her. But I no longer repect her the way I used to. She has just changed to much and acts like a real fucking bitch too much. I dislike it. So I don't bother faking it anymore. I do my best not to be too mean. But sometimes it's tough. I never asked her to be something specific. And she never asked if she could become someone else. So I guess both of us are too blame. And so I stick by her side. Praying for the good days. But I do miss her. I think she felt like she couldn't be herself AND be a good mother. But she's wrong. And someday she may realize that. By then it will be too late and her son and everyone else will think sh has lost her mind.
The boy was tough a couple times too. After a couple of hours of fighting with a two year old I feel like screaming. I am always the bad guy. I am always the enforcer. And I am always the punisher. The wife, mother in law and my mother are all of the teaching that physical punishment is bad. Well then I wish they would choose something else that works. Because so far they haven't impressed me. My wife and mother in law choose to punish him by bitching at me or becoming royal fucking bitchs in general. My mother just denies there is a problem. It drives me nuts.
So it's Monday now. And I got woken up before dawn by the office. Seems an emergency took place. There was 1/2" of standing water on the bottom floor. So I scrambled to get dressed and rush in. Sure enough. Water water everyone and none that you wanted to even smell! Yuck. What a fucked up mess. Aparently the shop left a hose turned on and the line split over the weekend. While waiting for a carpet service to come in I sucked up nearly 40 gallons with a shop vac. It looks to be one of those weeks.

CNN.com - Marshmallow error lands woman in shackles - Jun 18, 2004
You have to got to be fucking kidding me!! Is this why our law enformecment costs so much? Or were they sucking up to a bunch of tree hugging politicians?
Either way it's stupid, expensive and probably cost someone else their life while they were dicking around with this.

I'm missing another family funeral today. My great uncle passed away. I was never really close to him. But his son was a good freind of mine and my mentor. I am sad for him. I called and simply didn't know what to say. I'm not good at that kind of stuff.
Things are good at home. Vacation is nice. It can really ease tension. It also makes a couple work together to make things happen. I decided that this is what our family needs at least every year. And if at all possible twice a year. Every six months or so. Just take a week and relax.
The best part about this vacation was the way my wife dressed. For the first time in nearly three years she dressed like the beatutiful woman she is. She displayed confidence and sexiness. I like that. It's not that her clothes were reveling or skimpy. They were simply attractive and feminin. She has a tendency to dress the role of whatever job she has at the time. And right now it's not a Victorias Secret postion. It's a hunting/fishing/camping job. I love the place, and she enjoyes her job. But the employees don't exactly dress in anything special. All greens and browns (yuck).
I discovered that my father is a fool. Not being disrespectful. Just simply that he allows himself to be used and abused by those around him. It's not his fault. He just wants to be a nice guy. In fact he would make a horrible bad guy. Sometimes I wish I lived closer. I would become a closer freind and defend him when I felt it was needed. The same way I would for any of my freinds now. It's a sad enviroment. I couldn't live that way. I am too real. I would kick people to the curb and say 'fuck off!' and start my life over or reinvent myself again. But that is what I learned from my mother. Everyone needs to be happy. Hell, everyone deserves to be happy!

Not much to write about today. It's Thursday, two days before our first family vacation. We are really excited. We are going to Vegas. Probably not the best place on earth for a two year old. But economically it made the most sense.
One thing that gets to me about vacations though is the amount of stress that is created prior to leaving. I often wonder if European countries that take several times the numebr of days off are as stressed prior to leaving. The US would never adobt the 'holiday' attitude of the English. There is just too much greed on this country.
Anyways. We are limiting ourselves to only gambling after the boy goes to bed and only $20 each per night. No riches to be gained or lost that way. In fact if we won anything over a small amount it would hurt us more than help. We would have to win well over $100k to even be able to keep it die to our house situation. The rest would get taken by the mortgage company or lein holder. So losing would be in line with our current situation. Might as well not rock the boat!
