Daddy Pro Tips for Boys

*Will try to update this as often as possible!

 

I. School

            A. Preparation:
                        1. Learn as much as you can out of school, because some of
                             the most important things you learn won’t be in school.

 

 

II. Women
            A. Words to live by
                        1. If you’re serious about them, meet their mom. Your
                            girlfriend will very likely look and act like her when
                            she’s older.

 

III. Safety
            A. At home
                        1. Don’t hit your brother, you’ll need him one day.
                            He’ll remember the times you hit him
                            when he gets older.

 

IV. Animals
            A. Cute and Cuddly
                        1. Don’t try and pick them up. Their instinct is to survive
                            and if you’re bigger than them. If they’re not afraid
                            they will attack!

 

I Am More…

12/03/24

 

I am more 

Then what you see at work

I am more 

Then the now struggling person

 

I am more

Then a reader, writer or runner

I am more

Then a single parent or father 

 

I am more

Then a tired co-worker or veteran

I am more

Then someone who asks questions

 

I am more

Then a desperate guy

I am more

Then an artist, painter or creative

 

I am more 

Then most will ever know

I am more

Then the labels or boxes you put me in

 

I am enough

For the right people who know me

I am enough 

For the right woman who finds me!

Summer…

All things blooming at their fullest

From the smallest leaf to the forest

Days do amaze, which are easily the longest

Smiles are miles long and easily the broadest

Summer is a bountiful time of endless fun

With burgers, baked beans and a hot dog in a bun

Families gather past, present and future

Enjoying God’s neat, nurturing nature

Grilling, camping, swimming & hiking

Running, jogging, picnicking & walking

Boating, fishing, rafting & kayaking

Smiling, laughing, loving & hugging

Drive-in movie watching, tree climbing, paint balling

Rubber tubing, cliff diving, bike riding

Racing, scuba diving, sun bathing

Cray fishing, road-tripping, firework ogling

Slip & sliding, roller coasting, bean bagging

Horseshoe tossing, flip flopping, carnival craving

Fair-hopping, campfire storytelling, funnel cake frying

Bubble blowing, Iron Pig watching & A/C chilling

These are only some of the many things

Under the brilliant summer sun of fun

Where there is joy around for everyone

Let youthful cheer take you under its wings!

Cupid's Call

Love is what finds us

Love is what binds us

Love is the alpha

Love is the omega

Love is the why

We live, laugh and die

Love is the who

Behind me and you

Love finds us all

Hearts and all

Mind, body and soul

New life is the goal

Let the beat ring true

From me to you, you and you

Let two hearts beat as one

Into the sunset you will run

The Adventures of Dottie Wiggles, Part-1

I opened my eyes this morning and big old hairy Bailey smells more and more ripe everyday. Everyday I wonder why my normally giving curly haired owner didn't wash him? I get washed regularly, but I guess I'm a lot smaller 

and make less of a mess…

I can tell I am her favorite the way she carries me out to pee and is so enthusiastic when she talks to me, or puts down my bucket of toys. I'm not sure why, but I really hate those two other furry creatures that sit in that heated bed. Maybe its because they can crawl on counters, or because they can poop and pee inside… Grrr…I think it's how smug and cool they think they are… There's this new person with less hair then the owner… I didn't like him at first because the owner pays way more attention to him then me, but he does take us on walks, throws my toys everyday and he took me for a run the other day, so he's ok in my book now… Oh boy time to pee, oh boy time to pee…(shake, wiggle, shake, wiggle) but it's soooo cold and I have no fur…I'm going to run away from the door maybe they won't catch me…

Spring Rebirth

Break out from beneath winter's icy dungeon

Cover the land in a plethora of paint

Wrap the trees, flowers, bushes and grasses

In your wonderful warming colorful embrace

Allow your smiling warmth to melt winter's bitterness

Miles away from our cares, cars, coats and coffees

Defrost our many frozen hearts, minds and bodies

To truly bring forth new thoughts, ideas & possibilities

Let the days grow brighter and longer

So our many great hearts grow fonder and fonder

Let our commutes get shorter and shorter

So our time with loved ones gets longer and longer

Longingly looking forward to your refreshing rays

Longingly looking forward to your warmer sunshine

Yours truly forever, far, far past the end of days

One frigid, frosty, frozen Pennsylvanian

Be Patient Weary Traveler

Digging deeper and deeper

Pushing harder and harder

When All Seems Lost

And success comes at too great a cost

A look over the nearby horizon

The warmth of the sun still rising

The goal gets closer day by day

The train of success is on it's way

Keep pushing and pushing

Keep driving and driving

Blazing closer day by day

The train of success is on it's way

Fear not the success will be great

Fear not it is all worth the wait

It comes to those who pay everyday

The train of success is here to stay

They're Everywhere, Riddle# 35

Speeding on a road to get there

Speeding on a road to go where?

They're everywhere, They're everywhere

I look here, I look there

To my left they're there

To my right they're there

In front of me they're there

Behind me they're there

In the darkness of the early morning

Their colors are all very boring

One honk here, another honk there

Everyone a honk, honk everywhere

Here's a honk, there's a honk

Everyone a honk, honk

Some for frustration, some for fun

All in a time before the early morning sun

When Families Gather, Riddle# 34

There are many of us every year

Most of us bring you good times and cheer

Some of us bring you fireworks and beer

While others bring you fear

Some we remember who we've lost

While others what we've found

Some come with many a great cost

Still others there's happiness abound

Some we become older and wiser

Others bring out the child in all of us

Some pass by with little fuss or muss

Others we get nicer and brighter

Whether you like to dress up or down

Buy gifts for everyone you hold dear

Drink a mixed drink or glass of cold beer

We can turn that frown upside down…

The Adventures of Antonius Flav, Volume 2

The four of us ran for what seemed like miles and miles. Looking back in the distance I could see the Dark Magi catching up. Their Giant Grey Wolves were tight on our trail. “Thankfully you won the Phoenixes' Golden Feather last year in the tournament,” said Nicodemus to Antonius, ‘Now you can summon them to save us!” Good call the brothers all agreed! 

So Antonius blew into the golden whistle as he had been instructed and pictured the brightest, bluest and monumentally huge flame he could imagine with hundreds of phoenixes flying around it. This was where the Mother of All Phoenixes lived. Combining that thought with the blowing of the whistle allows the user to mentally link to her. If she deems them worthy, she sends them aid.

Within minutes four giant phoenixes could be seen in the distance. In no time, two flew towards them and two flew towards their pursuers. Within minutes two of them arrived to their aid, flamed down and picked them up from where they were. Their feathers were remarkably soft and a feeling of peacefulness and safety came over the brothers unlike any they had felt before.

In the distance they could see the other two shooting flaming balls and tornado bursts at the Black Magi and their Grey Wolves. The brothers smiled at each other looking at their furious and defeated pursuers. They had won the day, with their newly formed allies.

The Adventures of Antonius Flav, Vol. 1

Antonius and his three brothers ran, as they were chased my the group of Black Magi. While they ran Antonius spoke the words of magi he had learned in High Magi School and fired balls of fire and ice at them to slow their path.

He froze one of them and caught one on fire. After running for what seemed like miles. They finally got to the coast and waved to Barnabus riding on Mediterra (the giant blue sea dragon) who was waiting for them near the beach. When they finally arrived Antonius cast a protection spell around them and they were off. Their pursuers stomped the ground at their getaway since there were no rafts to pursue them.

The Inner Weather Forecast for Today is Sunny With A Chance of Raining Appreciation

The weather inside is fine

Regardless of weather without

The sun will always shine

Deep within all the way out

Swimming through a sea of negativity

I am fine with my suit of positivity

For every negative Nancy or Ned

I am smiling inside my head

Life outside can be really rough

Thankfully I am made of sterner stuff

I smile and smile through it all

Through all problems large and small

The weather inside is fine

Regardless of weather without

The sun will always shine

Deep within all the way out

Can you guess my name...Riddle

I am the woven fabric of history
Yet I am not spun from any loom
I've sent many to their doom
I am apart of each and every story

I am the talk of the town
Or what brings you a frown
Every designer and author
Pushes My Limits still farther

I can be any color of the rainbow
I can be fast or I can be slow
I can be large, medium or small
I can be thin, wide or tall

I go by many titles and names
I am a part of all your games
I am from your past, in your present
In the future I am digital not print

Creativity Rekindled

A flame that had the illusion of being smoldered. Has kindled itself anew. Fresh ideas and innovations fly from it like burning pieces of ash arising from a campfire.

This fire is in fact, in fiction, in reality and surreality exists in all places at all times. It is ever present. Great things will flow from it again. It has, it is and it will change the world…

Riddle#32, Coffee and Water Please

Service with a smile and

A side of manners

Go along way after you order

Your cup of coffee and water

They are an American tradition

Like hot apple pie and barbecues

Life moves a little slower inside

With the multiple tables and booths

A shiny stainless steel exterior

Shimmering bright neon lights

Tempting the weary traveler or trucker

To stop by and stay a spell

Her name tag says Barb and 

She's ready to meet your dining needs

Come by and say good evening, hello or hi

Always tip your waitress before you wave goodbye

Return of the Comeback Kidd

He wipes off the stress of the battles he's won. He looks around and smiles at the familiar faces. He looks around the room and sees Loneliness dressed in tattered black and brown in the corner drinking by himself as he often did. Sadness and Melancholy weren't far from him. They were dressed in muted greys and browns, one crying the other looking down shaking her head.

Having walked past them he saw Pride in his suit, shiny shoes and top hat telling a grand tale as he often did. Hanging out with Vanity in her beautiful white gown, who peered at me after reviewing her fashion magazine. Then there was Disdain in dark red and black. He looked me up and down through his monocle as if he were weighing me as I passed.

I began to near my destination and prior to getting there I passed Forgetfulness, with his scruffy hair and missing shoe. Looking for his car keys as usual. Curmudgeon, in his wrinkled shirt and coke bottle glasses was complaining about the weather as he often did. Lastly of the unwanted companions I passed was Doubt, in his oversize lab coat, mismatched socks and dirt covered boots. He was in his usual corner reviewing facts and figures, measuring variables covered in chalk dust, he looked up at me and shook his head in regretfulness.

Thankfully all of these I had surpassed with a smile. The table I had actually come to see had all of the right players and people I needed to see. Confidence gave me a wink and a smile as I walked up to the table. He was dressed all in white from head to toe and had pep in his step as he danced a little jig. 

Kindness was wearing a dress of multiple shades of red and pink as she often was the most brightly colored of the bunch. She did a curtsy as I arrived. Drive and Determination smiled at my arrival, they looked like twins in their two-piece black and silver tuxedoes. So I glanced around and said, “Quite the crowd in here tonight wouldn't you say?” “Why yes Success, you are quite right,” they all said in unison. We are glad to see you brought Dreams with you tonight. She as usual was wearing a dress of many shades of red, yellow and blue, which sparkled as she walked. She smiled at everyone warmly. “So let us begin,” I said, we have much to talk about and many things to accomplish…

She Calls My Name…

Her call is heard by the young and the old

By the fun, the fearless and the bold

Her voice is the marching cry for one and all

From the very small, to the tallest of the tall

Her shout beckens to a life less ordinary

A life where things can be just a little scary

She knocks, knocks and knocks some more

Until we answer and answer and answer that door

She is the drive behind that 36-hour road trip

The push behind our first deep dive dip

She is the voice urging us to climb higher and higher

To sky dive and walk through fire and mire

She is the call of the willing, willy and wild

The defeat of the muggy, monotonous and mild

She is the call to play in the heat, rain and snow

If you've heard her call you'll know…

There's A Little Piece of Us…

There's a little piece of us that just believes in something better. 

There's a little piece of us that loves what we're good at

There's a little piece of us that believes in our true potential

There's a little piece of us that believes in our true power…

Well…why do you wear black?

Some might say I go Against the Wind

While others may say I'm Dark As A Dungeon

I've made a difference As Long as I live

When hearing me, they say surely, “He's Alive”

Sometimes to Help Me Through The Night

Friends would say I'm one of the Heroes in Black and White

Those who didn't know me well, would say I'm Ancient History

To them I'd say Everyone Gets Crazy, Down In The Valley

And Everyone Loves A Nut

You I'm afraid are headed to the Fool's Hall of Fame

My life has been great and full of Hurt

Later, Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream

My true friends would say I'm simply, A Louisiana Man

I'm happy to have followed, The Old Rugged Cross

Now I'm On the Evening Train, I see A Darkness

For there is No Setting Sun, Amen…

Rio The Cat, Part-1

I rolled out of my furry, warm, tiger colored bed one day and I had come to realize that something was different. Zack was acting differently then normal, which was odd because he was a unique character.

I had lived with him for about a year and he took pretty good care of me. Things got especially good when he started working at Petco. Then I started getting name brand cat food, which was pretty awesome.

The newer food tasted way better and my white, brown, grey and tan fur seemed to grow thicker. Today I saw him packing up the creatures that he kept in the big tank. Some of them were shaped like orange triangles, other ones had what looked like rocks on their backs and then other ones looked like specs of dust with eyes.

I'm not sure how I knew, but I could just tell the orange, triangle shaped ones would taste good.

So getting back to things being odd, the one day after Zack had a lot of boxes packed up two of his brothers came the one night and stayed over that night after helping pack up some more stuff. The following day they left for a while and finally came back later that night and packed a little more. 

The following day Zack put me in that horrible, white portable prison. Like any cat, I wasn't a fan of cars and I knew whenever I had to get into it that was where I was going. So when he put me in it Sunday morning I knew I was going somewhere… Little did I know that all of the brown boxes on the floor, things wrapped in packing material, creatures from the big tank in his big white buckets, his brothers showing up and the big white building with wheels on it all meant we were leaving Bensalem for good. 

Now you're probably wondering how I knew that…well one of the other cats at Jackie's told me.
