which animal are you?

We had a fun sermon on Sunday. We are going through a study in Church over relationships and our pastor took the time to go through a personality difference sermon. We focased on the different personalities and how they are described through four different animals.

Lion - Born Leader/Likes to take charge/doesn't need everyones input will go with their instincts/often described as having street smarts/like to get the point in things/like the word "power"/their time frame is NOW/not afraid of confrontation

Otter - People person/optimist/"things are great and lets have fun" mentality/loves to interact with anyone and everone/don't really need details - in fact will run from them/they like to see-feel-experience life/great at motivating others/avoid all confrontation

Golden Retriever - great listeners/will talk if approached - would rather not start a conversation/few but close relationships/like to please others/hate sudden changes/can adapt just not to sudden things/like predictable patterns in daily life/defined rules

Beaver - keep close watch on their emotions/want the facts and only the facts/will take forever deciding on something/they want to know everything before making a decision/focas on past/like to read instruction books/ like to do things the right way

Well here are my analysis of my friends/family

Lion - Kelly Kathryn Trimble/My Dad/Tom Rogers

Otter - Evan Trimble/Josh Castles/Dail Neely/Ronnie Hoffart/Alyssa Turner

Golden Retriever - Me/Julie Castles/Rob Woodard

Beaver - Mom/Kirk Wimberly/Josh Burgess/Debbie Neely/Luke Neely/Amy Burgess/Reagan Foster

"I have no clue what you asked...but I'll take two"

Do the days not just fly by? Seriously aren't we always living for the future or the past? Whats wrong with the present, why can't we enjoy it. I get up and do devotions then go work out. Then I go to work and really look forward to going home at lunch to watch one of my hour long episodes of whatever DVD I'm watching. Then go back to school only to look forward to practice. In the middle of practice I'm worrying about my club practice after that. Then at club I'm wondering what I'm going to eat for supper. After supper its play with the boys, get them to bed and watch the shows we taped. Then bed time to start all over again. There is no solution to this, we all get in this rythym. The weekends break things up I guess. Don't get me wrong I like predictability but after a while it gets alil old. Heres my solution - enjoy the moment! Find humor in it - if your me - find sarcasm in it! We have all read the cute lil sayings about enjoying the moment but they are true. We do only live once and if we are trying to not go overboard and sin why can't we twist off a lil. When the waitress asks "what we want for lunch" tell her "no thanks I just need a doggie bag".. then watch her reaction. Wife asks how the day was tell her "pringles and some soap is all I need from the store". Walk into the kitchen and act like you ran into the door and fall down just to watch the wife and kids look at you like your a fool. When a coworker/child/player/ asks you a question calmly tell them "I'm fine.. and you?" Its a short life be responsible but...live a lil!

Truth time?

I just got done watching two episodes of the newlyweds. I have watched this show off and on (I'm sure thats a shock because I'm sure many could never see me watching it). I actually like it - I really think Nick is hilarious. I think its probably the dumbest idea in the world - to have your first three years of marriage in the public eye. Good grief, can we all imagine are first three years of marriage broadcast? Sorry getting distracted! I really do like how Nick reacts to Jessica's statements and seeing a young male's pride almost run his life. I'm not stupid - I do realize the producers mold the daily lives of these two people but he does have some funny reactions. He does have the art of saying what he thinks/feels. In that mold I would like to give a few opinions:

The Presidency - I voted for George W. both times and appreciate his Presidency. I have grown to think he is the right man for this time. I have no idea whats going on in Iran/North Korea but addressing the situation is appreciated by this American. I shudder at times when he speaks in public but.... its a needed change from the polished Presidency of former Pres. Clinton.

NHL - Just play hockey..I understand we are trying to shape the league for a healthy ten year run. I know the fans will come back and feel its drastically different from the baseball strike of a few years ago. Why will fans come back...thats easy..its a lock out not a strike. The players were the bad guys in the baseball work stopage. The owners will be perceived as the stooges in the NHL. Not many fans go to the arena to watch the owners box!

NBA/MLB - feed up! Steroids is a big issue in baseball. I am a Reds fan and when they played Barry Bond's Pirates in 1990 in the National League Championship that boy was a rail. C'mon people - weight training does not put that much muscle on a 175lb player. His attitude drives me insane - I am getting off track. Steroids out of control, baseball player's public persona is terrible and I'm not a stats junky. Number loving is the heart of a baseball junky. The NBA drives me insane - to long of a season and players not fan friendly! These clowns are spoiled! I just got done reading an article on the all star game for the NBA. These guys are sports Divas! The refused cabs to the arena to wait for limo's. Are you kidding me?

NFL - Awesome! Can a league market itself any better? Can it be presented Sunday to Sunday any better? Unbelievably awesome!

The family dynamic - Well the divorce rate is through the roof. Teens are exposed to drug use at alarming numbers! I am around the high school/college age person 24/7 and its not pretty. Will they mature - sure but they are exposed to things in life that are mind boggling. I mean its like sin is around ever corner. These kids have to be sharp and mature to stay on track. I have a strong belief in God and His Son and I struggle like crazy with sin - how does a young immature 15-22 yr. old handle the temptations in this world. You would pass out if you overheard what my girls talk about on the vans/bus. I know I'm getting older and God is ultimately in control but I really worry for my boys/(girl?). The pressure is on and Kel and I have to be sharp with what we do with our children from day one.

I will save the rest of my rant for another time...wait.

Alyssa, NASCAR is more than colored cars going in an oval...they have to pit stop!

My Family

I have never really talked about my family much. My parents have been married for 36 or 37 years - I think around there. We have lived in only two houses in that time. West Milton and Greenville, Ohio. They helped start our church in Ohio and Mom was always the nursery and childhood director with Dad being the Sunday School Coordinator. So we basically lived at church, Saturday night to set up, Sunday for both services, Sunday night, and Wednesday night. It lessened as we got older but I have some great memories of me and my sis running through church on a Saturday night playing hide and seek in a huge building.
My sis is two years younger than me. She had Spinal Menangitis (spelling) when she was two and came close to dying. She has a hearing lose of about 75% total. She also broke a leg and cut her hand/arm open twice. All before her 10th birthday. I spent a lot of time at friends of our families growing up - while Lisa stayed a lot at the hospital! She was always very involved in Church and if not for her childhood (in which she was a stubborn terror) she would almost have a perfect record for doing the right thing. I was the angel growing up and we switched roles in high school. She is now on missionary status at a Christian camp in Northern Wisconsin. She was always on mission trips in high school so her calling was inevitable.
Mom is a single child and met dad at a bank. They married and Jeffy came along a year or so after. She was the cool mom as we were growing up. Very easy to talk to and always looking to understand. A chronic worrier that spoiled me rotten - to a point. My wife still can't believe my mom made the meal, brought it to me, took the empty plate back, and was always asking if we wanted more. Now there was sometimes I was told to get my lazy butt up and get my own, when Dad had enough of my laziness My mom is 110% servant. She did worry about ten years off her life about me. If I got a letter in college it was two paragraphs of info. and a paragraph of her concerns about my life. Its better to be loved then ignored and it kept me in check! We have probably 500 hours of conversations stored from my preteen and teenage years. We always talked - until I started to become a lil more like dad and not be as open - but that was who is was becoming and I will never forget those times with mom.
Dad. Carl Trimble is and was a man's man. He is a vietnam vet and a choleric personality wise. The funny thing is he loves people. He will talk with anyone / most of the time. He also is not afraid to say whats on his mind. You did not talk back to dad nor did you roll your eyes or even sigh. Lisa had a tough time with the talking back thing the first ten years of her life. I can count on one hand the run- ins me and dad had. Thats probably a compliment to him - I had to much respect/fear to rock that boat. He also never missed a game of mine of any kind unless something major was happening. I can't tell what it means to have your parents at your events as your growing up. Mom and Dad did that very well. I would be shocked/lost if they weren't there. I can truly say that my dad molded my life. I have had a lot of people in authority that thought they were tough to work for but I knew exactly what hardwork was and respect was and that came from the hardest working person I know..Dad.
I hope to have my moms compassion, servanthood, heart and understanding...while dads work ethic, leadership, dedication. I hope to have both their LOVE while raising my kids.

Thanks Mom and Dad! Lisa, I love you and respect you.

NASCAR

Well I coached three soccer games today which means I missed the Daytona 500! Don't fret I taped it...and managed to get home and watch it without knowing who won the race. Well I wasted 3 hours of my life. No one wants to see Jeff Gordon win a race! Trust me the pretty boy gets on my nerves!
I grew up with my dad watching NASCAR and thought it was boring until the early 90's then grew to love it! I just love the humans who say its boring or redneck to watch racing...color my neck red! There is almost nothing as exciting. Bless the people's hearts who don't like racing...I guarantee they have never watched a race! For the record Rusty Wallace is the best racer in my book. Trust me no one gets in less wrecks and races as hard as Rusty. You see, my faithful readers, the key when you root for a racer is that he's there at the end. Rusty is always in the mix. This is his last season, so lets stand up and give him his props! The man won the Nextel title (then called the Winston) in 1989 and has challenged ever since. He is classy and runs a clean race all the time. He is one of the most competitive racers on the track. He finished 10th today and thats awesome..it sets him up for the season to win the championship before the end. We have a longgg year and Rusty will win. So I challenge all you nay sayers to watch a race and not get caught up in it! Pick a guy you think is awesome or a sponser one of these guys races for and back them. I will have the challenge next year (for the first time in a longg time) to pick a new favorite. Rusty will retire and I will grow older rooting for someone else but always knowing he was the racer of my youth! A lil hint for the women out there... Dale earnhardt jr. is a ladies man so maybe you like him? I'll stay with Rusty in my heart but be forced to root for someone else 365 days from now!

The best of me

I have many many great attributes...
1. I am a social icon..give me a room and people that I don't know and I'm an art painted by Michaelangelo! Please people who have no social abilities, come talk with me, tell about your life...I'm here for you!

2. Optimism... The sun will come out tomorrow, the next day and the next! Why dwell on the worst when I can get my hopes up that the best will always happen.. some say I'm just hoping but I think there is a great chance all my dreams will occur!

3. Never, ever am I a procrastinator... The best time to do work and make phone calls is right now. My desk is clean and my committments are always done in a timely fashion. Why wait - the joy of my responsibilities is well worth doing immediately.

4. Patience is certainly my virtue.. Ohh my forwards just missed four point blank shots, I'm smiling just knowing its just a matter of time we will score! I spend 10-15 hours a week practicing but its o.k., if a routinue mistake is made, we'll do well the next time. We're late for school but, Alec, please walk slower. Theres always time for you to think about your ten foot voyage to the truck.

5. Sharks are soo misunderstood... Overgrown fluffy puppies is what I say. Their beautiful fish arent they? Cute lil teeth and great protective/feeding instincts!

6. Emotional wreck... Feelings are my life blood! Who needs to think through things or (dare I say) rationalize. People..take what they say and get to how they feel. Tell me my friends and acquaintences...how do you feel- what is your lil heart telling you??

7. Activists... Please stop killing animals! Deer are people too. I can't say it enough - Hilary Clinton for Pres. Everyone deserves equality because its very easy to make everyone happy.

8. I truly don't understand the word...SARCASM

Leave to Beaver?

Wow - The Trimble's are officially the average, middle income, suburban couple. At 5:00pm tonight we had soccer practice for Evan, 5:30pm soccer practice for Alec, 7:00pm PTA spring play. My son was the proclaimer of the poem for the month of February. It was a 35 minute review of the months of the year and a song and poem for each. My son was Feb. - are you kidding me. Would it have been rude to walk out then? Of course - so I sit there and slowly lose all sense of who I am and why I'm sitting there. I do it because from March to Dec. those kids count too - dang it! They worked hard and they deserve my undivided attention! I would like to give a shout out to The five turkeys - you my lil friends - made the month of November's song bareable!
We then went out to eat as a family - Kelly called all the restaurants in the North Texas regional area for the "kids eat free night"! We ate at El Chico's and now are trying to get the kids bathed. Well Kelly's on the phone and I'm typing while Evan is bathing and Alec is probably creating some weird experiment in his room.
I have to tell you - it was a lot of fun being a parent at a soccer practice and not the coach. Stupid coaches were screwing everything up though - my boys should both be better but are getting under coached. I am kidding because I care.

I'm Back - miss me?

Well I got back from the ole Minnesota today. It was exactly what I thought it would be. Insecure 19 yr. olds trying to express their individuality. We did get to see Dr. Drew (loveline from MTV), Jesse Ventura (WWE wrestling star turned past Govenor of Minn.) and Jars of Clay (music grouop). I saw my Sis - who drove three hours to spend an hour and a half with me! She baked me cookies!!! My favorites - I'm soo spoiled! Those were the highlights! Eating out twice a day for 5 days, being out of my environment, being social, and being away from my family were the downfalls. Did I mention being out of my environment and being social)?
I'm gone for a couple days and Kirk has a job - Alyssa is cleaned out (was hoping never to read that) - My wife actually missed me and the dog apparently is barking at ghosts in our house. My team must have realized I was out of state because three were late for study hall, one skipped study hall, three were late for weight lifting, and who knows what went on this weekend with them. Ahhh the joy of being out of the pocket. I have 11 voice messages and 35 e-mails to answer. I am home though, my kids are happy, the dog is excited and my wife actually acts like she recognizes me. Life is good. Actually I'm kidding they all were very happy to see me and I would lie to act like that doesn't feel awesome! I missed the heck out of them. Whoever said its the "little things in life" is a genious. I missed watching shows with my wife and playing with the boys. I missed more but this is a PG program so "lets keep it clean people!" I have to admit I did miss the Mafia! I swear I did - its weird but dang it I like to read whats happenin. Lets not get carried away - I don't need to hear it - just read it.

Vday/NACA

Well nothing says "excitment" like getting your wife three Valentines day gifts then reading her blog to find out she doesn't really like Vday! Aww not to worry my fellow bloggers! She said she would rather have a gift(s) on a normal day then one on a "holiday". Perfect - Thursday Feb. 10th was a good day for my wife. For no reason whatsoever she received three gifts. Well other than the fact that she is an awesome mom/wife/chief financial officer/housekeeper/money earner/and pretty dang hot! There may be a few reasons I love her right there. I have talked, at length, about my sarcasm but I do mean every word of those last two sentences. So happy Feb. 10th baby!

I leave tomorrow for Minnesota! The beaches of the Minneapolis ocean are calling. I go to the NACA conference. This is a showcase for musicians and comics for the college circuit. Representatives from college/universites all over go to this - staff and students. Now this is a special lil thing.. you have to see the students that represent their colleges/universities. Think Trekkies mixed with John Cusak wannabes! They have the passion for their campuses with the coolness of the coolest geeks. The type of student that wears their sunglasses indoors or maybe a tie with a t-shirt. You know - anything to be different. Now there is nothing wrong with that but there are very few people who actually enjoy being different. A lot of these students want to be different to be noticed - big differenct my fellow bloggers. "Please think I'm cool and different - accept me". I dare to differ. I feel (clear my throat) "The most appealing personalities are those personalities that evolve out of conviction!" - Jeff Trimble 2/10/05. I know "don't get to deep for us Jeffrey". Not many of us can have a ghetto blaster above our heads and blare some cool music for our girlfriends (Say Anything)! So I go to the great North for fun filled days of watching insecure college kids overcompensate! I do sleep in everyday and get a good amount of per diem from the school. I usually average a movie a day! Poor me!

Rookie

I'm very close to being a rookie at this blogging thing. I have no anxst at this point about the pressure to blog but... I may someday. I think the fact that I don't talk with many people during the day allows me to have fun while blogging. To be happy with the communication that goes along with it - my type of communication - one sided!
Tonight we had our date night with Kirk and Jennifer. Fun times! We, of course, talked about our blogs and the fact that their having a fourth child. Sports, T.V. and old times were also among the conversation. Followed by picking the kids up and handing out a spanking to the oldest as soon as I walked in the door.
I have heard in recent days a few people are a lil suprised at the fact that I'm blogging. I apparently have been rather quiet about my life in the past. I actually have no problem typing about things in my life. Its the actual discussion that I can do without! I really don't understand people who talk with others and really have no point to their conversation - they just want to "visit". I like eating out with other couples (that I know) and have no problem "visiting" but its the random visits that break me down. "I don't really know you and you really don't know me, so lets call it even and I'll go an have a big and rich time while you tell others about your life!" Sorry but that would be fun to say! My life is an open book my peeps! I love puppies, pink bows and walks in the rain. The smell of grass growing, the touch of a breeze along my face! These are the things that get me up in the morning. AAhhh to be young and in love - sorry drifting a tad. I really love to communicate through blogs its safe my friends! One sided talking (thru typing) is the wave of the future - grab it and hold on!
Good luck to the godmother - may your jeans fit perfect and your soul be stronger after the fast! Good luck to Kirk - may the job opportunies flow and the child grow healthy. I'm wishing all the blog people good will - just don't ask me to say it!

Moving on

Well last night I had to say goodbye to Jennifer Garner. Kel and I finished the third season of Alias and now we will wait for season four to be released. This will be a long wait, the season just started on T.V. I have been watching Jen (only her friends call her Jen) since November and have seen her through thick and thin in the first three seasons. She has grown up to be quite a lil spy. How can we forget the hunting down and attempted murder of her mom. How about the good old days when electric shock torture ruined a couple hours for her. Ahhhh the losing two years of her life to being captured and brain washed. Well.....Its time now to move on.
Tonight I start the third season of 24 on my DVD's. I love 24 so I'm looking forward to it. Jack is truly the man! He has gone through a few things in his life also.
I will be saving the best for last. Magnum P.I. will be watched later this year, when we get closer to going to Hawaii. I don't want to get to psyched up before I go.
I'm going to Dallas tonight to recruit. Fun times, sit in 40 degree temps while a bunch of high school girls run around and I try to see if any of them can play at MSU. My only hope is if some parents see me and come over and tell me how wonderful their precious is...wow that would be fun. I am only looking at Juniors so that eliminates a lot from the picture. Four hours on the road for an 80 minutes game but a couple girls wrote to me so I go look at them play and either keep them on the list or eliminate them. Then come home and start 24! Ohhh yeaaa!

Blog worries?

All is right in the world. My wife made a great dinner and then went shopping, leaving me with the boys. Of course its West Wing marathon Monday on Bravo. Five back to back episodes of West Wing. Party time! I am taking time out of this exquisite experience to blog! I have a strong feeling the boys are doing fine in the other room. "Son I have no time for you" "The T.V. is on and I'm trying to type". "Bandaids will work magic on that".
I'm not really sure about this weekend! What happened? Has everyone taken the godmother's approach to blogging? She is the power behind the blog world but we can think for ourselves sometimes! I tried a quick lil dity on Saturday, about getting the living blog kicked out of me by the five yr. old, that seemed to be the only blog done during the weekend. I point all of this out with respect to you weary bloggers. I understand the toll a daily blog will put on you. We all have to be clever and have laugh tracks applied to our blog. Revolt!! join countless others and say boring things! Talk about everyday life with boring analogies! For exaqmple: "My son seemed to be better than I was on Saturday at a game called Pokemon. I lost a couple games to him." There, I take pride and solitude with the fact that I stated the facts and presented no sarcasm, irony or whimsy in those two sentences. Straight facts ,peeps, is what this blog nation was founded on. I say to you now, be boring - its the new and real thang!
Wow I just read a few other blogs and you guys have already applied my theory!

Kidding!

Pokemon what?

I missed yesterday and my apologies to la familia. I will try to post twice today. I can't get too far out of my routine.
So I roll out of bed this a.m. and my youngest (Evan) requests a Pokemon battle on the boys Nintendo 64. I give them all my old game stations ( nothing but the best for the Trimble boys, after dad gets the best). I, having no clue what that is, tell him "I will wash your lil mouth out with soap if you talk like that again to me." He calmly explains it's a battle game on the computer.
BATTLE ONE: I'm somewhat interested until he crushes the living bloggers out of me! What in the world. That's cool though we'll play again so I drag him back to his room for the next battle. (The poor kid thought he would actually get to go outside after the battle). The set up to this game is you pick three creatures to go to battle. You fight one at a time until someone is left standing. Well he used two and almost three creatures to beat my three, the first time. Not bad for me I almost got him!
BATTLE TWO: This one is not close at all. I could only grab one of his creatures lives. Dang it! "Defeat why do you sting so much" I have to regroup and lick my wounds. Well I go back to the kitchen for coffee and come back to the room and he's getting his play clothes on. I calmly inform him that he will not go outside til I get another battle. He rolls his eyes and agrees.
BATTLE THREE: I have stretched out and mentally prepared for this battle. He beats me like a rented mule! I barely damage one of his creature! He has this electric lil guy who has this bolt that just crushes my three guys one agonizing turn at a time. Are you serious! So back to the kitchen I head, whining about the abuse that I received. My oldest, whose sitting on the couch, looks up as I pass and I swear says "duh.. dad he had an electric attack you should of used your water attack". Two hours of being awake and I have lost my confidence, dignity and leadership in this household. So Kelly goes for her walk - I do what any butt whipped man of the house does, make the kids and I breakfast!

The Guy's Rules

I will usually wait until the evening to post but... a friend sent "the guys rules". I want to share them with all the ladies out there that have all these great comments and lists about guys.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem - see a doctor.
2. Sunday sports - its like the full moon or changing tide - let it be.
3. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers for every question.
4. Whenever possible please say whatever you need to say during the commercial.
5. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to..expect an answer you don't want to hear.
6. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do..Sympathy is what girlfriends are for.
7. Crying is blackmail.
8. Anything said 6 months ago in inadmissable in an arguement. In fact all comments become null and void after 7 days!
9. Ask for what you want:Subtle hints do not work - strong hints do not work -Obvious hints do not work. Just say it!
10. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If its up - put it down. We need it up - you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
11. Shopping is not a sport - and no we will never think of it that way!
12. If you won't dress like the Victoria Secret girl's - don't expect us to act like soap opera guys!

I appreciate everyone reading this and nothing on here is me talking to my wife. I like the couch but prefer the bed.

State of the Union?

So you know whats up now. Its Wednesday, time for my weekly disappointment. How can we miss West Wing this week? Oh I know .. State of the Union time. Don't get me wrong..I am a republican and would vote for Pres. Bush three more times but... sometimes its hard listening to him articulate. So no Pres. Bartlett for another week, hey the positive side is my wife and I didnt scream at each other on why she's sabbotaging my t.v. watching.
It looks like I may have to dismiss one of my players for a rule break and that, my mafia friends, is not fun. No matter how macho I wanna be and say" hey thats her decision".. when she broke the rule it still breaks my heart. She's young and people make decisions that arent good at times but it would hurt my program to keep her on the team. So I will call her in the office and tell her, shes no longer on the team. She will cry or get mad and it will truly hurt to do it. To add to the beauty of this, she's my best young player...so yea for Jeffy! When players are dismissed in the past I can kinda convince them,truthfully, that its not in their best interest to stay. This is different! Well poor me.."its called a job Jeff" sorry I like to feel sorry for myself.
Thats what I love about my Dad..we will tell each other how bad our days are going and then one of us will say "but..nothing really is that bad, I mean lets keep it in perspective!" I am blessed with two boys I love beyond belief. They tend to fight way to much and have discovered the magic of talking back but I'm not complaining to much. I have a gorgeous woman who is a great mom and wife. I love how she keeps me in check, at least tonight I do. Plus shes my best friend..o.k. wayyyy to mushy! Anywho I have it good.
Kelly was funny last night. She found my Mafia Blog funny but doesnt like to be characterized as the muscle of the family. I have a masters in counseling but really no way to rationalize how I described her. Simply put she's not mean or mean-spirited actually she's kindhearted. Althoughhhh she will tell it how it is..and I love it. My gosh I'm just laying it on thick tonight!

Later..Props to the Mafia

Blog Mafia

What we have here is the blog Mafia. Now I understand that some of you out there (Alyssa)(Kelly) dwell with other blogs. You have your lil blogs on the side you read while Kirk and I respect that. We (although) seem to stay relatively close to the family. We are faithful. Now the structure of this lil Mafia is simple.
Alyssa has to be the Godmother of the mafia. Her power of popularity and originality lends itself to her strength in the family. We have to respect it - if Alyssa doesn't comment on a blog you have a problem my friends!
Kelly, of course, would be our muscle. You can't tell me when we blog we all don't have at least a small thought to the sharp criticsm of a miss spelled(HA) word or cut throat analysis. We can only unleash Kelly on so many other blogs before we get a bad reputation. She is our muscle and if not for her beauty I, my friends, would be afraid - very afraid!
Kirk(obviously) is our business advisor. I have learned more in two weeks of awesome and sometimes overbearing observations of the business world. He will keep the family in the black and finance Alyssa's power and Kelly's intimidation. We will have the priviledge of blogging with a CEO someday.
I, my friends, am simply honored to be included in the same breathe as these powerful people. I see myself as counsel. I will keep Kirk from telling us endlessly about the ins and outs of the stock market. I will keep the intimidator held back from ripping the poor young bloggers out there for their grammer and poorly spelled words. I will try to keep the Godmother happy by pointing out that men aren't really cool and a 450 hour rule could be beneficial.
The vouyers out there may wonder "whats of them"? Blogging is not for the faint of heart! Once your in - you'll never get out. Be careful Joshy,Alicia,Jennifer ..etc. You could be here someday but its a hard life and a dangerous trade off.
