We closed on our house on Thursday. Not only did we move our stuff but Dawn's parents moved as well.
Needless to say I am all beat up.
It still hasn't hit me that this is my house. Maybe once all the stuff is moved in it may seem more like mine.

Here is one of the stupidest people I have ever heard of.....
Here is Mellissa Williamson, seven months pregnant and smoking a cigarette. It accompanied a story about unpopular "traffic-calming" measures under way on Bullitt Avenue, where she lives. The caption said she worries about the effect of jackhammer noise on her unborn child. She couldn't have touched off a controversy more quickly if she'd called President Bush an Islamic extremist.
Dozens of calls and e-mails came to The Roanoke Times impugning her reputation and criticizing the paper for printing the photo. It glamorized or promoted smoking while pregnant, some people said. At least one syndicated talk radio host mentioned it, and the picture proliferated on Web sites, with the caption and some wise remark like, "Yeah, the noise is what the baby needs to fear."
Mellissa Williamson said she knows smoking is bad because people have criticized her since she took up the practice 20 years ago.
"I really don't pay that much attention to it," she said. "If people don't like it, that's their opinion. They've got theirs and I've got mine."
Mellissa Williamson said she has cut down from two packs per day to one-half pack.
Smoking is estimated to account for 20 percent to 30 percent of low birth-weight babies, up to 14 percent of preterm deliveries and 10 percent of all infant deaths. Asthma is twice as likely in children whose mothers smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day. This is just a fraction of the possible harm.
"The most effective way to protect the fetus is to quit smoking," the American Lung Association says.
Mellissa Williamson is a small woman with long brown hair. She didn't finish high school. She hasn't seen her father since she was 13. She has worked in fast food, but doesn't have a job.
"I've heard of the Internet," she said, "but I've never used it. I have no knowledge of computers whatsoever."
She didn't learn about her widespread critics until a few days after the photo appeared. Her ex-husband said his co-workers had talked about it.
"It didn't bother me," she said. "It went in one ear and out the other. I've heard this all my life."

Tonight is the night. I am so amped up about this.
If you don't know, on Fear Factor tonight @ 8pm on NBC is the episode that was filmed at Universal Studios. We where there for the last stunt and Kyle had a bunch of footage taken of him not to mention we where right next to the contestants. Lets hope Kyle is on.

Tomorrow is the big day!!!
Kyle is very exited about going and was talking about it last night. He is going to go to the movie with his Darth Vader Costume on.... Yes he is one of those people.
It is great to see the passion a child can have, and it is wild to see what they choose when you give them the freedom to be who they want to be.

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the tv remote because they refuse to walk to the tv and change the channel manually.
3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!
5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded
a bus. Then she noticed a young man smiling at her.
She began feeling humiliated on account of her
condition. She changed her seat and he seemed more
amused. She moved again and then on her fourth move he
burst out laughing. She had him arrested.
Then the case came before the court, the young man was
asked why he acted in such a manner. His reply was:
"When the lady boarded the bus I couldn't help
noticing she was pregnant. She sat under an
advertisement which read "Coming Soon: The Gold Dust
Twins", then she moved under one that read "Sloans
Liniments remove swelling". I was even more amused
when she sat under a shaving advertisement which read
"William's Stick Did The Trick". Then I could not
control myself any longer when on the fourth move she
sat under an advertisement which read "Dunlop Rubber
would have prevented this accident."
The case was dismissed

We are going to be going to Star Wars Episode 3 on Saturday in the morning.
Kyle can't wait to go. He has the Star Wars III video game for PS2 and we unlocked all the movie clips. Oh man the movie is going to be great.

We had another walk-through of the house on Saturday. It was the first time Christy and Kyle saw the house. We also had Dawns parents with us (Who just got a place in St. Pete) and it was the first time Dawn's mother saw the place. Needless to say they loved it :)
We ended up buying the Sellers Dining room set and Bar Chairs for the breakfast bar in the Kitchen. Again I did not take any pictures, I swear I will before we move our stuff in.
It was a really cool sight to see them boxing up all their stuff. They are great people and we had a chance to just BS with them alone without a mediator... Good Times

Today we went out to Island of Adventures. Toward the end of the day we went to one of Kyle’s favorite rides, The Flying Unicorn, and waited for about 30 – 45 minutes in line. While in line John overhears the family behind us expressing there displeasure in having a child in front of them with a Mohawk, and how his parents could do that to him. Now I am a nice guy, I can tolerate a lot of crap from people but never talk crap about my son or my parenting skills.
So being the nice person I am, I began to talk to Kyle in an elevated voice about splitting his Mohawk into two and dying it Pink. Kyle was in agreement. I began to explain to him the reason we are going to do it is to have people ask “How could his parents do that to him, and they should be arrested for Child abuse!!!” I then asked him if he was happy that I was not a stuck up tight ass father who had a problem with what he wanted. “Isn’t it nice I don’t have a stick up my ass like some people?” I asked him.
This seems to be an ongoing thing these days. People thinking that they need to explain why what you do is wrong. I am spiritual person and I believe in a God but I see the majority of this crap comes from the “Bible Bangers”. It is the people who feel the need to save you or the need to explain to you the only way to live your life, that drive me crazy. Not to mention most of them like little boys. The really scary part is they now are making there way into government. God help us All.
Now I don’t know how it jumped from a dip-shit smartass in line to “Bible Bangers” but I guess I have some issues to work out.
