Star Wars: The Force Awakens

 I was not sure if I was going to be able to see the newest installment of the Star Wars installment in theaters.I am beyond your typical Star Wars nerd. I can probably resite word for word the Original Trilogy without hesitation. Big fan of the Original Trilogy, but the prequels were okay. I thought that Lucas had a great opportunity but failed to deliver in the story in that trilogy.

Man...oh... man life sure has been crazy.

This weekend was kind of slow I could not believe it either. :)  First, we about going after work on Saturday. But we could not find anybody to watch the minions. Take 2....on Sunday the plan was go to the early show at the theaters . I would go by myself and my wife would watch the kids and walk around the mall. On the way down there my eldest was wondering if she could see it as well. I was good with that considering that I really didn't want to see the movie by myself anyhow.

At first, she was kind of scared but then she got use to the action of the movie. I thought that she did great. I am happy that my eldest liked the movie as much as I did. This was her 1st real unanimated movie.

Overall, I thought that Abrams did a pretty good with the revival of Star Wars. I will be going for #2 in 2017. It is going to be interesting to see where he goes with this story. Yes, some of the story sounds familiar but it was an interesting approach in the future in the Star Wars Universe.

Best Valentines gift my wife could have given me this year. She was even willing to see the movie with me if she had to. She is not a fan really of Star Wars. It is lost on her. It all worked out in the end.

May the Force Be With You.

 

Different Concentration

Lately, I have been in a rut I guess. It seems that I have been spending too much time on my phone and my head down and staring into a screen in which I am not learning anything. Thus mindless scrolling. This is not what I want to be spending what little free time that I have doing.

I have set some goals for myself in this quest(to look up more).

The to try to start writing more.Maybe 1 story a week. I feel that what I meant to so is to write. What to write we shall see. I am not that sure if I am going to post everything on here yet.

Along with reading at least 1 book a month. I don't think that is too much of a reach. It is realistic especially with the craziness that is the life that my family and I live.

I guess we will see if I can live up to this little quest that I have challenged to myself.

The Kickstart

I am a father of 2 wonderful girls(5 and 1) and have another human(the ultrasound confirmed it) on the way in late April of 2016.

As well as a husband to a very patient wife and is a gift from God and deal with my craziness  10 hours a day :)

I decided to create a space of my own...again.

In this blog, I am going to talk about my eclectic life...could be nerd related or simplifying life or nature. I am a mixed bag.

It is going to be a fun ride so you better hang on :)

I am Going Try Again

I have been contemplating if I should continue to blog over here or not. I am still geeky(somewhat) I also love the outdoors and gardening and such. Of course I am still a daddy. That will never change. Sure do love my girls.
Please bear with me...I am going to be gear more towards Fatherhood, Lifestyle and Enjoyment.

I you are still on this rocketship..thank you for the patience.

Where Did the Time Go?

I cannot believe that it has been 7 weeks since my 2nd daughter has come into this world. So that means that I have 1 MORE week of leave. Now talk about sadness. That has been wonderful seeing every minute of the latest addition to our family growth ever so quickly.

I would give ANYTHING to be able to just stay at home. I know that at this point in our lives that it is not possible. It is unreal how fast 2 month can fly by. I know that I have to get my butt back to the cheese mine and sweat it off in 120+ degree temperatures.

I love my wife and daughters so much that I continue to back so my wife can stay home and raise them the way we want it to be done. I respect my wife for staying home and dealing with Miss lil cranky pants sometimes, because I know that they get one their nerves.

I know that I will cry my first day back to work and see my eldest daughter happy when I come back home at night. This is something that my wife does not get, because her work comes to her(babysitting). 

New Geekling

It is official we are a family of 4 now. Now talk about scarey stuff. It happened on April 26th at 1235 AM. We had no idea what were having and he had a girl. She was 8 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long. To me it is still amazing that she fit in my wife' for as long as we did.

Yet again we had to intervene to force were out with pitocin. Just like my first we had to terminate the stay in the nice and cozy uterus.My wife started at 8am on April 25...we sure do manke some stubborn children that is for sure..lol. 

So far everything is going pretty good.  

Having A Blog Identity Crisis

I think I am going to be taking a break from this space that I have called home right now for 4 years. :( This space is just not fitting to who I am am right now. I am not that sure if it is the name or what. I am a total geek, but yet I garden and hunt and other outdoors things.
How do you people do it that have kids and a wife and work 6 days a week.
 I am so conflicted.

So if any of you can relate.....give me a holler.
