This morning I was going through my Facebook feed and came across a video shared by one of the girls on the volleyball squad I help coach. The video depicted a woman beating the hell out a screaming child, probably 6-8 months old, with a pillow, slapping it across the head and bouncing stuff off it’s head. The child started to calm down and began crawling to it’s mother for comfort, she shoved it over then started hitting it, making it scream all over again. Continue reading

What does it take to get some action?
For months now, I’ve chronicled the state of my internet service on my facebook account. Well, after months and months of constant call to the support center and hearing “WOW! You’ve had 100 drops in the last week!” and having several technicians come out to the house, only to have them tell us “You’re getting full service. So what’s the problem?” and “We’re working to the spans right now, but you’re getting a perfect signal from DSLAM.” why are we no closer to getting a stable, reliable internet connection. That is what we’re paying them for right?
Well, in a new twist to this story, a neighbor of ours, also a Windstream customer, call the billing center to see if she could get some money on her bill. The woman on the other end of the line actually had the audacity to tell her “Well, you’re getting your internet for free anyway, so…”

This is my vow
I promise to love you, honour you and protect you for rest of my life. You are the missing piece to my puzzle. Without you I’m incomplete.
I offer you this ring as a token of my love and a symbol of our commitment to each other – Forever and unending.
Sometimes you need to stretch out
There are moments in life that REALLY stretch you. Sometimes those moments are personal, such as a rough patch in your significant partnership, or an illness in the family, or even yourself. Sometimes those moments are sports related, such as an injury in the middle of a big game, or a slump in performance. Continue reading
Why must I make things hard for myself?
I am one of those people that HAVE to learn things for myself. I also tend to be one of those people that need the same lesson several times before it REALLY sinks in. So far, this week has been one of the most stressful I’ve had for a while, though not for reasons one would expect. Continue reading
What a weekend…
Fall League 2010 Summary
So we just wrapped up yet another bowling season and this one has been quite good one for me. I finally feel like my game is starting to settle in. I’m much more consistent at the foul line and my release is much more solid than it has been. Continue reading
Cherish your children
When Lilyana was born, I remember staring at her while I held her in my arms for the first time, welling up with pride as I fought back the tears. I remember looking at her and thinking “She’s the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen. She’s perfect!” Continue reading
Has it really been three years?
Man! Time flies when you’re having fun, huh? I’ve officially been in the US for 3 years, 9 days and much has happened in that time. I can’t believe it’s been three years. It seems like just yesterday we touched down in Lexington and made a stop a Taco Bell some 20 minutes later! LOL! Continue reading
Meaningful interactions between competing world views
In today’s multimedia, highly connected, global community we are all too aware of a number of competing world views. At their core’s, they are almost all founded upon some kind of religious pretext. Christianity. Hinduism. Islam. Judaism. Each of these religions offer a completely different view of the world we live in and each offers a completely different context to almost every aspect of life. So, the question becomes, is it truly possible to have meaningful conversations and interactions between these competing world views? Continue reading
