My Pop is funny sometimes...

Happy New Year!

Just had a little texting conversation with my father. He informed me that a woman who had a little crush on me several years ago, died of cancer. She was about my age and it saddened me for a minute. We weren't close or even had "relations". It's just a bit sad that someone cared for me and I didn't know.

That said, Pop changed the subject to his dental visit. I posed the question; do you still have enough teeth to eat steak or are you on the jello & soup diet. He informs me that he's eatin a sammich & mom is havin a hotlink. Tell him that I just finished a (double) bacon-cheeseburger, MmmMmmGood! To which he says "God will get you for that!". To which I state "HA! Bacon is G-O-O-D! LOL". I should've said that I wouldn't be hard to find... I'll be the man with crisp bacon in one hand and a greasy smile on my face!

What's funny is that my Pop still views me as his baby boy. His young son. I love him for it. His "god's gonna get ya" is the kind of thing you tell a young child. Hell, I'm almost 40, it's funny to think that those words are going to shake me or scare me to stop eating pork - more specificly bacon. 

Anyway, it feels like 2010 is  going to be a year of changes. Some good, others not so good.

All one can do is keep his head up and keep moving forward.

Peace!

Patent Pending Idea #2

My second "million dollar idea" is the flashlight stunner-attachment. This will initially be designed for the best flashlights on the planet -MAGLITE brand flashlights. The stunner-attachment will replace the standard battery cap with a 2-prong stungun type attachment. In order to prevent accidental deployment it will also encorportate a rocker powerswitch. It should also have a built-in recharge coil (or something to that effect) so as to regharge for addional stunnings without completely draining the MAGLITE batteries. Primarily to be used with MAGLITES using D-Cell batteries.
