Principle

Here is a short story from yesterday.

Browsing my social media BS while one of my estimating programs reboots I stumble upon a video posted in a private page for a gym that I like to go to.  In this video taken early in the morning by one of the fellow gym goers, there is a lady who is visibly not all there, dancing and stepping in place.  The video taker said this continued for over 60 blocks.  The post was mocking her for her effort.  Needless to say I found this shit in poor taste and was taken back that it was posted on what is supposed to be a positive area.  I spoke up, let them know that I would be bummed if I was videoed without my knowledge and posted for everyone's entertainment and said this was in poor taste.  I sent a text to the gym owner saying I couldn't not say something.  He never text me back, just attacked me via social media.  The guy couldn't even text me back?!?  He then decided that he would passively post on his page that the world is full of overly sensitive people and that people shouldnt have to walk on egg shells.  Its a free country, blah blah blah............

Needless to say our friendship is no longer.  I will not have people in my life that find it ok to bag on the less fortunate.  I will always stand up for what I believe is right, always.  Im not saying that I will speak my mind, sometimes its good to stay quiet, but others its absolutely not. I want people in my life that put positivity into the world, not self righteous bigoted bullshit. 

Ill end with a quote from Thomas Jefferson

" In matters of style, swim with the current; In matters of principle, stand like a rock."

because hate is bullshit

For those of you that read this blog and know me, know that I love me some Chocolate Graham crackers.  Better believe your ass I will buy Honey Maid in the future.

Hate is bullshit.  You dont have to agree with it, but you can stop yourself from being a hateful prick.

Good on ya Honey Maid

damn

last nights song

I love this song, and this concept is pretty cool.  The grom didnt quite know what to think of it, but all I can do is try.  She looks forward to the singing now and I love it!

Going to have to figure out a way to do it while I am traveling, we will make it work.  San Diego in two days, and the girls join five days later.  So pumped!  Hope the baby mama feels good enough to enjoy her vacation.

Not sure

Im not sure if I have posted this or not before, but this song rings true in so much.  I believe this song was written well before its time.  This song brings back so many great memories from Lake Powell and our adventures.  I loved that place from the moment I saw it, not a day goes by that I dont miss it.  Such a simple of life.  Seems like life has gotten so busy and hectic, and this song plays into that right now.  Its all good though.  I wouldnt trade my life for nothing.

Im eating a salad and writing.

Tuesday.  You know what that means. Music.  Well, today its quiet in the office and Im on a lunch break so I thought I would drop a line while eating my salad.  This past weekend was the yearly trip to Phoenix for nationals.  To be honest I wasnt looking forward to this race.  I had started hearing bad things about the track in January and to say that my attitude sucked, would be an understatement.  I realized that I had a poor attitude about it, and needed to change it before I went.  I started to be optimistic about just being able to ride outside.
The track was exactly like it was described.  Im not going to go into it, but I will tell you that I did like the new pavers in the staging area.  Was able to put together a few good laps and walk away with all skin intact.  Thats a W in my book.
Get to do some Go Kart racing this weekend and hanging out for the ol B day.  Im excited to be home for the weekend and do some good daddy, daughter time.  We started a new thing last night, where we sing to some tunes on the ipad.  I like it, and hopefully she does too. Anyway, here are your Tuesday tunes.

chiddy chiddy bang bang

I love finding a good tune, and can always appreciate a different video.  This tune is great and for sure a creative video so you should check it out.  For sure on a hip hop kick right now, just trying to keep it all mixed up. 

Also if you get bored, I have started writing on the bmxzine site as a contributor.  Should be good.
