The picture below is three timelines that I follow, take a look at each of the Avatars. Each time there is a new tweet with an orange avatar I have to look at it closely to determine who it is from... It can be rather confusing.
My parents put down the Dog today. She was a good dog but she was having trouble standing and had gotten really thin over the past few months. It's sad to see her go. She'll be missed.
With Today being the First of May I thought I'd share one of my favorite Songs regarding the First of May. It's called 'First of May' By Jonathan Coulton.
I woke up this morning I had a scone and a large house blend Then a little conversation with my squirrel and chipmunk friends I said I'm sick and tired of winter And I wish that it was spring Then a little fellow named Robin Redbreast Began to sing And he sang Ooh ooh child, what d'you think the cold winter's gonna last forever? Ooh ooh child, now's the time for all the people to get together Outside Cause it's the first of May, first of May Outdoor fucking starts today So bring your favorite lady Or at least your favorite lay Water's not cold baby dip in your big toe Maybe I'll see you in flagrante delicto Grass below you, sky above Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside I thanked him for the information I cried a little when he flew away I watched an episode of The People's Court And I tried to plan my day I called up my old lady She wasn't home so I called my girl I asked her if she'd like to join me as I Entertain the world And I said Ooh ooh child, I'll bring a blanket and I promise I will brush the ants off Ooh ooh child, you're gonna like it when we're taking each other's pants off Outside Cause it's the first of May, first of May Outdoor fucking starts today So bring your favorite lady Or at least your favorite lay Water's not cold baby dip in your big toe Maybe I'll see you in flagrante delicto Grass below you, sky above Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside So we went to the park together We were walking in the midday sun Met all kinds of people and we We fucked everyone Fucked a lady who sells ice cream We fucked a man with a tan Shar Pei Everyone who needed fucking well they They got fucked today So come on Ooh ooh child, open your mind and your heart, feel the spirit moving through you Ooh ooh child, you'll feel the warmth of the love when I stick it to you Outside Cause it's the first of May, first of May Outdoor fucking starts today So bring your favorite lady Or at least your favorite lay Water's not cold baby dip in your big toe Maybe I'll see you in flagrante delicto Grass below you, sky above Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside Fucking outside Fucking outside

What the hell is Newegg thinking with this one?
Nobody wants an 80GB IDE hard drive.... I mean, nobody.
So I do actually look at the SPAM emails I get, why just because I can and every once in a great while some legitimate email will pass through. However, the Subject line of this SPAM message I got I could not pass up.
I don't think I'll be partaking in their suggestion. It just might hurt a bit and I'm pretty sure that results would be instantaneous and not take 7 weeks as 'guaranteed'.
I watched the latest episode of House and there was a quote I thought was rather profound "Actions have consequences…being a man is accepting them". There are only a few things that I can say I regret in my life. Some I can change some I cannot.
There's another quote from the Brad Paisley song "Letter to Me", that hits rather close to home. "...Go Hug Aunt Rita every chance you get". This hits home because it'll soon be 3 years since my Aunt died. There had been some tension between her and my mom that stemmed from an incident on the Fourth of July a few years back now. One of my cousins threw water on me, which I warned she shouldn't do, and I stormed off. From what I've been told my Aunt and my Mom started bickering over it. After that they hardly spoke. They did begin to talk a bit about a year before my Aunt died, but it was never the same as prior to the incident.
In September of 2007, my Grandma called my Mom to say that my Grandpa had collapsed, I drove my Mom and a couple of family members to my Grandparents house and then I drove my Aunt and my Mom to the hospital. It was not long after that when they told us that he had died. I bring this up because I never spent enough time with him. My family and I along with my Grandparents lived in the same house from about 1986 to 1989. It was cramped with 9 people in the house but it was fun none-the-less.
After the incident on the Fourth of July my grandma started saying that us grandkids were ungrateful and complaining about the fact that none of them ever came over. I was one of the only ones who actually did go over on a somewhat regular basis. When I was overall there I would listen to my grandpa rail about how the Chinese were going to take over the world and the like. I always listened, why, because it's just who I am. I always listen. I may not agree, but I always listen.
The last regret which is not family related is a situation that I had with a friend of mine who was one of the only true friends I had in high school and the only one who I really kept up with afterwards. The incident stemmed from a slip of the tongue I made that he kept harping on. I had said that my fiance's (girlfriend at the time) favorite time was the Holocaust. It was not the fact that he made fun of me for a few days, but that he would not let up on it. It came to the point where I told him to never talk to me again. I regret this statement now. It's been a couple of years since I last spoke to him. I have tried reaching out to him to apologize and I have done so. But I fear it's too late and that I forever lost his friendship.
I am not sure what brought all of this on, but it's something I thought I would share. I cannot undo everything that I have done, but I can attempt to undo some of the things that I have done. Most everything in my life I do not regret as it has made me who I am today. There are a few things I would have done differently but I am not sure if those matter in the grander scheme of things.
The last quote that has made an impact on me is in the Song "New Orleans" by Toby Keith. The lyric is as follows "There's a few defining moments in Every Persons' Life, Where You Know What You've Done Wrong, And You Know What You've Done Right."
Maybe I'm just taking a bigger look at what I've done right and wrong over the past 28 1/2 years I am not sure. Who knows what will happen in the next 28 1/2 years of my life. I hope I do not have as many regrets during the next 28 1/2 years as I do now. Maybe I can fix a few of the ones I have now so that they will not be regrets. Only time will tell.
