So whats up everyone?? I had a great day of pumpkin carving getting ready for my favorite holiday.. HALLOWEEN!!! Really excited to take the kids out on Sunday. As you can see above that's the finished product. The one on the left my wife and daughter did and the other one was my son and I's. The one I did is the same sorta design I do every year. The traditional triangles mixed with my creepy smile.
I'm currently watching a movie called "Slither". I don't know if it's because it's on TV that it sucks or the movie is just shitty but I think I'm going to turn it off. I haven't posted any new movie reviews since I changed jobs I don't watch nearly as many as I used to. OK screw it.. Slither is off.. and I should hit the hay.

Happy Halloween Y'All!!!!!!!!!

An Angel Named J

This is the poem that I wrote and said during my cousin Jason Glenn Graham's funeral this weekend. It was one of the hardest things I have had to do...

An Angel Named J

On November 26th, 1974 an angel was sent to earth,
To the rest of us that was simply the day of his birth,
He was instructed to teach man kindness, and love,
To develop a warmth that surrounds like a glove,
He was good at his job and the people would flock,
He had friends of all ages, and was always willing to talk,
On Sept. 11th, 1996, in GT’s Roadhouse & Grill,
Ms. Winia walked in, and the earth stood still,
Love at first sight intrigued our angel J,
And that’s why Sept. 20th, 1997 would be their wedding day,
Our angel would go on to live a normal life,
Raise 3 gorgeous boys with his lovely wife,
Little did we know, our angel would have to go;
On October 9th, he was called back to heaven,
For us it seemed tragic, 2 years short of 37,
His last acts on earth? Save his wife and youngest with a quick wheel jerk,
Then his organs helped both young and old,
A true hero our angel, listen to what you are told,
He is now upstairs, watching down on us,
We have to use what he taught, about love, patience and trust.
Thanks for everything, Love and miss you Jay!

My cousin

So my cousin Jason Graham was in a horrific car accident on Sunday afternoon. It was him, his wife and 10 year old son in the car. A flatbed tow truck drove through a YIELD sign and plowed into them. Jason's wife Mandy and son Chris both had minor injuries, but Jason was air lifted to London hospital in critical condition. He is now in a coma like state fighting for his life. The driver and passenger of the tow truck, scratches. WHY? Why is that the way it always happens. The person who fucks up and breaks the law is the one that walks away. I'm currently not wishing ill will on those people, I don't have anything left, everything is going to positive thoughts for my cousin that hasn't awaken yet. The doctors have run tests on him and I have heard (since I live way the hell over here now) that he has responded so some of the brain stimulus. Which is good, progress is progress. His spinal chord has 2 breaks that could mean if/when he wakes up he might be paralyzed. Which would be awesome, at least he is alive. He makes his living with computers and would be able to continue after I'm sure A LOT of recovery and rehabilitation.
Jason is one of the strongest people I have ever known. He has gone through a lot of tough shit in his life and for once he has been doing really good. He went back to school and got his degree and has been doing really well. His wife Mandy is great. She is a little nutty, but has really grown on me and the family. They have 3 kids Jesse, Matt, and Chris. With everything going for them they really need their father and I know if anyone can come back from this it's Jason.
I don't pray, and no I'm not making this into any kind of a debate, but if you do I ask you to throw a prayer in there for Jason to pull this one out. If you don't pray then send some good thoughts out into the world. Every little bit helps. Sorry if I keep going on and on.. .I can only clean my house so much before I had to find something else to do with my hands. Thanks,
