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
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

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.

As it turns out, Mr. Kennedy has suffered from severe depression due to the criticisms he received on his movie, Son of the Mask. Continue reading
For the first time in a number of years, I took a REAL vacation. Jaime, Jennifer’s sister, and her family (Stevie, Christopher, Matthew, Hayley and Emily) had booked themselves in for a vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC.
