Seems like a log of angst lately about the negative attitude we read here.
Folks just post a 2-min snapshot of stuff on here though, about a wee small slice of their life called Delta. It's not who they are at all, most likely... attempts to extrapolate a 3-sentence blurb into who someone is and if you'd like them are doomed to inaccuracy and likely wrong. Hell, most of us don't come on here for anything but to fill that 0.1% of a days interest of "What is happening at Delta, rumor wise?"
For example: I had a great day. Loved it. Thought about how important what I did today was and that being gone from home sucked, but days like today made up for it. I'm sure if I posted normally you wouldn't know it, but...
- Put up more Christmas lights. Let kids decide the design... tackiest house in neighborhood but they loved mixing it up with the lights.
- Showed my boys how to repair a bike tire, and convinced them every man should own an air compressor.
- Took boys to a "BMX Birthday Party", their first bike jumping. They caught air off an 8" ramp and were super excited, it was funny and I laughed a ton with other Dads. No serious crashes.
- Caught two lizards with boys. Sat on jungle-gym in sun talking about stuff they've caught until successfully feeding lizards some crickets.
- Baked cookies with my 5 yo daughter.
- Did a full-on Delta-style-flash-mob dance routine with daughter while baking cookies that involved spatulas and a chorus of "Daddy is the King!" and her eating a good bit of the cookie dough. I laughed and laughed.
- installed a ceiling fan with one son, some time spent teaching electricity... maybe he got part of it, and he sure liked using the drill-driver and a ladder.
- Did homework with kids, read Treasure Island with one, me doing the pirate voices, and an Xmas book with the daughter.
- cut a finger, worked some cub-scouts First-Aid merit-badge stuff with boys while showing them how to do wilderness emergency finger stitches with superglue. Led to 30 min discussion on SuperTinyBugs with daughter and burning through a LOT of bandaids and Neosporin. Good fun.
- Played some PS3 with kids on some game called Skylanders, got destroyed.
- Helped wife put up some more holiday cheer stuff, hung pictures and garlands. Got to use the ladder some more and a hammer. No one hammered a hole thru wall, success.
- And I still have a good beer waiting for me in the fridge to be enjoyed with most recent Walking Dead I recorded!

Came on L&G to get a laugh and post some tongue-in-cheek attempt at humor like "Dat FLY Button is teh SUXXOR!" or "Dance Video Weak!".

Sometimes what we see in other people is more about what WE choose to extrapolate from grossly insufficient data, that what they really are.

Ok, but sometimes they really are Azzclowns though! lol... best self-amused laugh of the day there, will leave on that note and go test some Jagermeister in eggnog.
