It sure is quiet around here...

when the boy isn't here. He's spending the night with my parents. It's good that he gets out now and then. He sure does love his "Mom-mom and Papaw". They're awfully fond of him too. My brothers both have kids too but our parents rarely see them. It breaks their heart but there's nothing they can do. My brothers make it extremely difficult for them to see the kids. My brothers claim it's because they're so far away. They live in Kansas City and my parent live near Springfield Mo. But that excuse is horse shit because when my parents lived in KC they STILL didn't want to involve them in their grandkids lives.

It's gonna be trouble in the future when my niece and nephew realize that their grandparents are closer to my kid than them. It's not my parent's fault but you can bet your ass they'll be blamed for it. Somehow I probably will too. Oh well, my brothers are adults and I can't do anything about it.


Changing subjects now. I've been carrying a cane for about a month now due to my back. It really helps me out. Yeah, it's a little weird looking being 35 and already using a cane but I don't
give a rat's ass what other people think. I have a big heavy oak cane so I can also use it to knock the crap outta somebody if they need it.

I'm seriously considering starting martial arts training for use of the cane. One of the country's cane martial artists is in Branson Mo. His name is Professor Wayne Carman. He is in the Universal Martial Arts hall of fame. http://www.umahof.org/professorwaynecarman.htm

He is also famous for being one of the people who trained with Elvis. His "cane" classes run twice a week for $79 a month. He said I should pick up most of it in 3-4 months. However if I enjoy it I may stay around for more training in other things. I've picked up a few moves in my life but I've never formally studied martial arts but it's something I've always wanted to do. I will have to be careful with my back but I'm sure they can work around that.


Well I'm outta here!!!
