My first blog off Myspace

Hey all;
Ok I'm moving over here because frankly...it seems more condusive to blogging. It's got drafting etc. So I guess I've found a new home. I'll probably push this to my facebook and if you want to read my old writings...go to http://myspace.com/mynameisthetuna

For the first time reader...
Hi...my name is Will and I'm a recovering internet addict. Well not REALLY recovering...more like still trying to find a way to recover. I'm a 34 year old husband to a wonderful and beautiful wife Debi...and 5 (yes 5) cats named Oreo, Sunny, Simba, Kitty, and Monty (Short for Monster). I like Comics, Star Wars (books and movies), gaming (Playing Star Wars Galaxies right now, and the 360), spending time with family and friends, singing and making music and any number of other activities.

I'm a Christian. Meaning I believe in Jesus Christ...that he died and rose again from the dead to save my soul (and others) and that it's not a religion but a lifestyle (and a hard one at that).

I lean a little to the right politically, and economically you might say I lean a little to the left. I'm not the most compassionate person lately...but I'm working to get back to that person I used to be in my youth...and have made some strives.

I'm annoying at times, funny, care-free, and genuine. I have a lot of old friends whom I've lost touch with but have started reconnecting with...and have always been something of a 'joiner'.

SO in a nutshell that's me.

Hope you stick around. Maybe I'll be able to blog here a little more often than I have at Myspace. Got some great opinions and am excited.

Thanks for Reading;

"Irrelevance"...or the youthful misconception of it. (RIP Aunt Shirley).

 It's strange getting older.  I don't know if it's my generation or not...but in a lot of ways I still feel like I'm the younger person everywhere I go.  Even when I look in the mirror and see white hair (well...less of it on top but plenty on the bottom) and I realize that most of the music I listen to is in fact over 30 years old I can't help feeling that I'm still 'not quite grown'.  I think that's why I'm still surprised when I speak to my bonus kids or niece and nephew and they get this look on their faces that I don't have any idea what it is I'm talking about.  That in a lot of ways...I'm irrelevant. Not in any mean way. Just in that way that I can remember thinking my Dad and Mom and any person older than 28 couldn't possibly understand what it was like to be a somewhat socially awkward kid trying to navigate the simple things in life like High School, dating and how to program the VCR to record episodes of Next Generation...

The loss of a 'watershed' person in my life. RIP Stan Gosek.

It's hard to lose your heroes.  Such a profoundly obtuse statement in some ways. Of course it's hard. It involves dealing with ideas of mortality, growing into roles that until now we were happy to have filled by others and judging by the previous generations I've seen, an overwhelming urge to go to early bird dinners and eat peanut brittle and cole slaw (thank God I haven't gotten to that last stage yet...cole slaw still feels like an abomination YUCK) In the past few weeks I (and many many others) have been dealing with losing a true mentor and friend to cancer. Stan Gosek was a true renaissance person. Gifted in teaching, tennis and probably most importantly...music. He was a 'watershed' person for me and so many others I know. My wife asked me last week when I described Stan in those terms what it meant. I always defined a watershed person as someone who would come into my life, and change it so that every day after getting to know that person...my life woul...

NOW it gets busy...oh wait...nevermind I'm never NOT busy

Ya know...I love the holidays. From frigging Halloween I start thinking about Christmas. What am I gonna get Deb? What's Deb gonna get me? What's my parents gonna get me? What's my sister gonna get me? What's my friends gonna get me? You get the idea... Seriously though...I do love this time of year. Yeah it's busy. I remember back the first week of November and going through the calander and seeing what each weekend consisted of. We had PRETTY MUCH every weekend but 1 mapped out till the end of the year. When you're sitting and looking at 12 weeks of plans you start to get a little overwhelmed I think...I know I did. So here we are...10 days out. My last ten days in my early 30's...from here on in it's a race to 40 and for the life of me I can't imagine my life any different. This week alone I had a meeting last night, tonight is a meeting with Deb to see where we're at with Christmas, tomorrow is actually open, Thursday is Men's...
