time to think

airplane rides are good times to sit and collect. with 2006 a little over half way done, there was alot to think about on the ride home from philly with this year's events so far. i jotted down some thoughts on an American Airlines napkin and added some while i was writing this:

i've seen: my wife's uterous (it was a glossy blueish purple) + my son take his first breath and exhale out a cry i will never forget.

i'm fortunate: still get to play my drums, live in the USA, a brother who spent 5 years defending the USA, my health, my son's health, my wife's health, my family's health.

i'm glad: blessings aren't just for the ones who kneel (thanks Bono), my new camera shoots 3 frames a second! hehe, miss puerto rico won miss universe (i dont watch bueaty pagnents, but it puts a smile on mara face that miss PR won).

my family has grown: a son, a new sister, a new brother.


my family has shrunk: the "truth's" light can be so bright it blinds us sometimes.

i'm tierd: the skies in the middle east continue to light up with war, abortion rate is not declining, im awake at night thinking of approaching deadlines, + its been way too hot outside.

i'm excited: my son changes every day, shadedbox has never been busier, warren buffet + bill gates are set to defeat AIDS + maybe poverty while they are at it, computers get faster expotentially every 18 months, the space shuttle went up into space and back down without a hitch, jasper sleeps 10 hours a night now, life gives me surprises, + 2006 has 5 more months to deliver them.
