Certified

I don't really have much to say at this point, but I just wanted to let you all know that those grueling 8 hours tests I've taken for work.... I've passed level one. Boy is it just me or does that sound like I was playing a video game, passed level one.

Anyway I have an official card and everything. I feel like Ralphie from A Christmas Story. You know the part of the story where he becomes a member of the little orphan Annie secret decoder ring club, except this isn't a crummy commercial.

By the way in case anybody was wondering Band Number 3 will be on the way soon.

Later days.

P.S. "You used up all the glue on purpose!"

A song to think about.

It has taken some time to decide to do this post, and I asked my darling wife and she said it was okay.

On the day that my mother-in-law went home to be with our Lord... I felt strongly that I was to listen to a song in her honor. This song is so beautiful, and I just leave you all with the thought of this song and hope it speaks to you as much as it has spoken to me.

Undying - Demon Hunter

Ever since the day that I was made I've been deciding the end.
And I was made of wood and stone that won't diminish or bend.
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away,
I'll be the solid grip of time forever holding my stay.
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me.
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me.
Cus when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread,
I felt the cure of mortal limit fall before it was said.
When this season ends...
One final heart break and blinding lights will guide our way.
Free us our blind state. they will call us by our name Undying.

Tearing through these days I find the tolerance to strive and push on.
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won.
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall.
Without the blood of perfect life I know I'm nothing at all.
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity's hand.
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand.
We are the ones, who will still remain when all is laid to waste.
We are the ones, who when angels cry will see them face to face.
We are the ones.

Thanks for reading and if you dare you can listen to the song here.

You do care!

Wow I can't believe I had three comments on my last post. Let's if I can do it again.

Went to Pittsburgh this week with my co-worker to do a couple of surveys. The women's fitting rooms are so much nicer in the city. Just kidding we didn't go near any fitting rooms this time. Getting into the city, finding a parking space and leaving were the most frustrating parts of the day.

I was running behind by about five minutes (thanks to our lovely puppy), and by the time my co-worker and I loaded up the car we were ten minutes behind schedule. What was to be an hour and ten minute drive turned into two hours plus due to traffic. Then tack on another hour of driving in the city to find a parking space. After that we had to walk around the city to find our first survey location, when all was said and done what was to be a 7:30 start time turned into 9:30 grr.

Speaking of Pittsburgh, remember that Demon Hunter concert I told you all about awhile back, they are going to be at Mr. Smalls July 3rd in Pittsburgh. Hopefully I'll be able to go to this one.

Oh hey, I almost for got to tell you all the funniest part of the day. When we finally had found our parking garage to leave the city, after walking for about an hour. I was so excited that I was walking along not really paying attention and next thing I know, I'm getting judo chopped by the entrance gate arm thingy. Let me tell you the arm was a tough opponent, but it will think twice about doing that to someone again.

That's all folks....for now

I just re-read this post and it's kind of random. I guess that's what I get for starting kind of early on Saturday morning.
