Random Mumblings

Welcome back, sirs & madams!

If any of you have ever followed my MySpace account, you'll remember that I used to post various blogs, appropriately titled "Random Mumblings". This was my attempt at stringing together various thoughts, ideas, & other general bullshit that I swept out of the diaries & memoirs inside of my brain. So without further ado, let's dust off the cobwebs & do this....

-The Fuson family vacation trip to Wisconsin Dells was amazing. It was much needed for all of us....for me, it was a much needed break from the daily grind of the Red Cross. For Kira, it was the epitome of stress relief...stress that comes with dealing with me & the kids. For the boys, it was a chance to blow off some steam & have some fun that didn't involve a computer or a Xbox 360. For Kali, it was her very first road trip & she handled it like a pro.
There were a few minor snags that made us think that some sign from God was trying to tell us that we shouldn't have made the trip....Kira's hospital visit, the car rental place denying me the van that we had already made reservations for due to credit problems (BTW...fuck Avis! If you really need great service without the hassle, go to Enterprise), my lack of directional sense that made the 4 hour trip up there turn into 7 hours...you catch my drift. But all of those problems were washed away when we saw our resort, hit the water parks (although many of them were closed due to it being the middle of the week & lack of tourists) & went out for family dinners in the evenings. All in all, an excellent time that I'm sure none of us will ever forget!

-A couple of plugs to mention here: everybody needs to check out my friend Dallas & his concept EP "Faces Vol. 1", as well as his CD "Yeah That's My Real Name". Midwest hip-hop at it's finest! Hit http://www.indyground.com/ for more information!
Another old buddy of mine, John Farmer, has a really good band he's involved in called The Aposematics. Really eclectic & worth listening to! Head on over to http://theaposematics.com/ to find out more!
Lastly, my childhood friend Spencer has started up his own woman's Roller Derby League! You can e-mail him at rivercityrollergirls@hotmail.com to obtain more info. Also check out the official website at http://rivercityrollergirls.vpweb.com!

-Speaking of friends, the main group has somewhat splintered off, mainly due to this wonderful experience we call life. Rob rarely comes over anymore due to other committed plans he always has, Matt still stops by but only for 3 hours on Saturdays due to his 3rd shift commitments at Wal-Mart, & both Pat & Mike have no transportation to speak of. Oh well....as Blink 182 once iterated, "Well I guess this is growing up...".

Well..time to wrap this up for today. Kira has headed off for the day to attend a get together for her mom & stepdad's 25th anniversary & I'm here with Kali & the boys so I must put on my "Mr. Mom" hat (whatever that may look like!) & get to doing some things around the house.

Remember....if you're gonna be good, be good at it & don't get caught!
