I QUIT!

I quit my job. I said goodbye. It wasn't tough. The exhausting part is being somewhere that makes you want to leave, get upset, or feel out of control. Not my cup of tea.

Everyone eventually needs to make their own mark. Whether that means striking out on your own or being a couch potato for the rest of your life . It needs to be started by you and it's accomplishments are only agreeable with you . So give it a chance. Take the first step, the first jump, or learn how to shut the door on something negative holding you back. Chance are you will sleep and feel a whole lot better the next day. Try it and don't look back .

I Feel Pretty Lucky

Nikki and Nate

I feel like a pretty lucky individual today. I got to meet my niece Tyler Trivers for the first time yesterday. She is perfect. I can only imagine the joy that my sister Nikki and Nate must be feeling. It was a long journey for the both of them. They have come so far in their relationship and truly have something that can be respected and followed.

My sister has always been a fighter and a champion. She does things her own way and has been bruised and praised for doing so. She has the biggest heart in the world and would do anything for her family. Nate her soon to be husband has been a great friend to me over the years. We started playing college rugby together on the fields of Chico, Sacramento, and Humboldt. We had the chance to coach together at Sacramento State,and that was the time Nikki and him met.

I couldn't be lickier to have them in my life and I wish them the best of luck for the road ahead. Welcome baby Tyler

Don't Vote, but you can't talk to me about anything serious. Ever

Don't Vote. I don't really care. But don't expect me to listen to you regarding any of the many political topics out there. That includes any conversations about taxes, the unemployment rate, social security, and education. Or as I like to call those four events, you're fucking life and well-being!

The reasons the lack of voting angers me is not because our Great Grandfathers, Grandpas,  Dads, Brothers, and Sisters fought in wars for the simple idea of democracy. It's not  for the fact that our Grandmothers worked for Women's Suffrage and the right for an equal vote. I am not even upset that in the state of California, a population of over 37 million, only about 8 million people voted in the most recent election. And in all reality it is closer to 7.5 million. I am angered because we have a right to vote and to be informed and we fail to do so. But it is only out of our own selfishness that we do so. Nobody sees your vote once you enter into the booth.

Here is the situation that infuriates me about the lack of voter turnout in the Untied States. People all over the world are murdered, raped , and displaced because of there religious and political beliefs. Entire ethnicities are wiped off the face of the earth because of believing in democracy and an equal vote. People around the world burst into tears just for the opportunity to vote for a leader, a savior, or possibly just change .

Maybe we have it too easy here in the US? We have never had to fight for anything that has been taken away from us. Maybe if it was or you had to qualify to vote based on education or volunteerism then the importance would increase? But something needs to change.  

Get Down With The San Francisco Giants

Today is the official day parade for the World Champion San Francisco Giants . They did it, they won the World Series against the Texas Rangers. I am proud of the Giants because no one thought they were going to make it this far . But isn't that what it is all about. Proving the masses are incorrect from time to time .

Making "The Man" eat his words is a better phrase.

Viewing the pictures of the preview to the parade also make me realize that the difference between 1st and 2nd place could be a movement, thought, or idea. In a flash it could all be over. Life is very precious and should not be decided in an instant. But it often is . So you need to celebrate it while it's available.

Bigfoot. It's Real

Bigfoot exists. I am not going to even fathom the possibility that it is a made up creature. The question remains though, What is Bigfoot? Are they Ape, Human, or both? When we do find out what they are it could change how we think about evolution. The simple belief in God could change overnight. I am not saying an apocalypse will brew from the discovery of Bigfoot but I am saying it will lend proof to the existence of non-religious acts of evolution .

I myself believe that Bigfoot may be a hominid that has evolved differently over millions of years. It may carry both Human and Ape genetic traits. We all are related.  Another fear that people may carry is it could be superior in every way to Homo Sapiens . Size, Strength, Mental Alertness, and most important Awareness of Surroundings.  Frankly I don't know what I would do if I ever saw one. I don't even want to suspect my reactions.

The bottom-line is Bigfoot is out there. They have alluded human contact from non-native residents for over 500 years. They have been successful in living and successfully raising offspring. I think one day we will be very surprised on exactly how far they have come .
