Life's a Tug O War

 Just don't quit tugging. Tug hard and tug strong. If you know that you have been tugged on, and not in a good way...TUG BACK! Utilize your rights.  They were made for a reason.  Then they throw in something like a 'Weiner Gate' every now and again to make it fun. Oh...

Also, if you don't stand up for yourself, and tug for yourself, OR ON YOURSELF, who the hell will? Don't get tread on by the 'would be' man. Live your life and let others stand in awe.
Speculation is what it is and publicity is a curse. Who gives a damn, we aren't going to make it out of life alive. And 'we're not going to take it'.



THE SMILES

This is happy, this is amongst friends. I also happened to be at a 'Kirk Gone Acoustic' show (left). That ALWAYS helps.  Have you ever thought about what generates a smile? It isn't always a verbal communication or something visual.  It can be a feeling or a thought.  Today, however, it happened to be news I heard.  Someone is so interested in what I am doing and where I am going that they took it upon themselves to use their position to inquire about what Andrea is up to and what lead up to her current status. Well you don't have to call long distance to do that. Just call me. I'm even on Facebook doll.  xoxo



Adrianne and I all SMILES




Friends make my world go round if it weren't for them then where would we be? We would be lonely with lots of family time, huh? Not that it is a bad thing, but friends are a good buffer and a great ally when the whole world is against you. They tell you you're right because that's what you want to hear and help you pick up the pieces later. That's what friends are for.



FAMILY

June 13, 1919 - April 6, 2003

At the Pine Bluff Air Show. Early 80's. He had taken his PT-19 with a double open cockpit over for the CAF airshow display. This is a SMILE. He is catching a quick sandwhich after having performed in his other plane the Great Lakes bi-wing double open cockpit. ( However he was flying solo. xoxo )

Legends come and they go. How else was I supposed to turn out? This was Dr. Faber Henry Carter MD.

My grandfather. He gave me and Mercedes Benz roadster convertible when I was 16, after convincing me I was getting a Dodge Dart. Wow. He put himself through Medical school on the GI Bill. Wanted to be a commercial airline pilot but he didn't have 20/20 vision. He assumed that it would scare his passengers if he were to board the plane and enter the cockpit with a seeing eye dog or a cane.  So he decided to be a doctor. He said don't ride motorcycles, eat sausage or swim in the Arkansas River.  He also advised that quitting smoking didn't make you live longer it just SEEMED longer.  He was my HERO



IN THE NEW

Watch out there have been a few changes in Packer's world. Since my last blog post. I think I feel a 'set' growing. It may not be Bridget Jones but I'm not looking to lose weight or quit smoking either. So who gives a shit about Bridget Jones anyway?
Also, I can't pull off the accent. I drive a Jeep and like beer. I doubt she drinks Crown Royal and chases it with Bud Lite on occassion. Don't look for a cigarette count.

I love my career path and love it with a passion. I went to college for Rhetoric and Writing, The Fine Arts and American Sign Language and it contoured me into who I am today. However that was just playschool contouring compared to what my FAMILY and the group of friends I have chosen and choose to surround myself with, have done for me. 

There are some real power-tripping bastards and bitches in this world.  They will do anything on the sly to make up a good lie. These people like to be the "TELLERS" they get a sick rush off of seeing other people seemingly fail.  

   DO YOU THINK HENRI, PICTURED HERE GIVES A DAMN WHAT THE NAYSAYERS THINK? NAH! JUST HAPPY TO BE ALIVE, AND SO AM I!!!!!
