Songs that have meaning for Me.

I have been listening to my playlist that I have on ITunes.  I have a lot of different taste.  Kim always thought that I did not like country but I do have a lot of country on my play list.  A lot of it is really depressing and find myself crying. But I do find that some of these song do have some mean to me and my life.  So here are a few and what they mean to me, or what memories they bring up.
 
Rock Lobster by the B-52's:  Even though my friend Del Mar hates this song, it reminds me of all the church dances I went to when I was 15 to 18.

Devil Inside by INXS:  This was the cassette that played in my Chevelle my senior year.  Just reminds me of cruising around in a cool car.

Freexe-Frame by The J. Geils Band:  My mom was really into bowling in the early 80's and this was the music they played on ABC Sports when bowling was on.

You be Illin"  By Run-DMC:  This was one of the songs they used for our skit for Homecoming  my Junior Year in High School.  I worked on everything that year for Homecoming, but did not get to see the game and did not go to the dance.

Should have been a Cowboy by Toby Kieth:  As a kid I did not dream of becoming President, a police officer, or fireman, but I did dream of owning a ranch and just riding a horse rounding up cattle.

Red, Red, Wine by UB40:  OK. I have never had a drink in my life, but this song take me back to working for a landscape company the summer of 1988, before my mission.  Just seemed like it was always on the radio.

The Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard by Waylon Jennings:  Back in the early 80's Friday night and CBs was must see T.V., with the line up of Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas, and Danstacy.  I remember watch Dukes and Dallas with the Family.

Our House by Madness:  Reminds me of my friend Derek Wilson.  He got me into this group and I have loved there sound forever.  Wish I could reconnect with him.

No one really knows the really me!

After having a interview with a church leader last weekend, I am tired of people assuming that they know me.  That I keep on being told, I am make poor decisions in my life, when they have no I did what I have gone through or what I am dealing with now.  Really did not need this in my life right now, when in just a few weeks I come out of training and start my normal schedule for the next few months.

Feeling left behind

Over the past month I have been to two baptisms, two farewells and a home coming.  It reminds me of what I do not have in my life, children.  I also have had my 44th birthday, which I spent on my own.  My marriage of 22 years is gone, and I really have nothing to show that I am here. But I have been living some what an oddity in the Mormon Church.  Having been married for so long, with no kids, you just don't get the feeling that you are part of the church family.  I have set in many a Priesthood Class, hearing the teacher tell how special it is to be a father, and how closer to God you are.  I really have not made a lot of friends in these wards, because I have no  kids that are in the same Primary Class, Sunday School Class, or Mutual. It even feels like the newly married couple, when they do get pregnant, that they are now one up on me. A few years ago, our Ward did away with the Family Camp Out.  But what stayed were the father/daughter and the father/ sons camp outs.  For

My Political Life.

In 2008 I received a degree in Political Science from Arizona State University.  When I was think back in high school what I would major in, it was down to history and political science.  I did not see very many career opportunities.  With political science, I could see myself serving in the Government.   I really want to work for the State Department, hopefully in an embassy some where around the world.  Plus I always had been interesting in politics. In 1976 I wrote then, new elected Jimmy Carter a letter, saying so much congratulating him for becoming the President.  OK,  I was seven, and I thought it was great that a guy from Georgia, at that time the state next door to Tennessee, was President.  I got a note back from him, thanking me writing.  OK, so the signature probably was done by auto pin, and some how a chocolate stain got on it, probably from a fudge bar, this is still one of my priced pieces. All through school, I wanted to serve as one of the class reps to Student Co
