We’re home now 2 hours early because Karen had a breathing attack. She has asthma and is allergic to animals. My friends dog was all over the house. She just had a breathing treatment. It’s a great way to bring in the new year!
I'm done now...
Thank you for allowing me to self indulge. Now all of what I feel are my best posts of 2011 are in the month of December. Oh and Happy new year everyone.
Don’t drink too much
Have yourselves a dance party
Don’t get too crazy
Don’t forget to pee
Then when you’re feeling like this…
or this…
Then go home. Good night and happy new years...
I got my papers
piratescove:
I walked into work tonight and my supervisor called me into his office, handed me an envelope and said welcome aboard. I’ve been a temp for a year now. Provided I pass the pee test, starting next week I’ll be a part of the company. I can pass the test. I’ve been peeing my whole life, I’m an expert. I’m going to the opium den tomorrow to celebrate.
This was the most significant...

“you’re my favorite. Don’t tell the others.”
My Grandmother said these words to me when I was 12 years old. It’s one of those moments in time that you remember so vividly. We were in Kentucky visiting her. My parents are from there. They had moved to Chicago for work and a better life. They are now retired and have moved back there. My mom and dad got...
piratescove:
One of you told me that I was awesome the other day. I really appreciate that but I don’t want you to be disillusioned. I’m just a normal guy. I’ve read this statement more than once recently:
“Online you can project yourself to be anyone you want to be. “
I’m paraphrasing because I don’t remember the exact wording. The point of it was that online you can be awesome if you want...
Hey Single Guys
piratescove:
This is for single guys so married guys like myself need to move along. Me? Well I can’t I’m posting it duh!
We know there some beautiful, powerful, independent, single women on Tumblr like Jaye and Tiffany. There are more but this post would be too long if I named them all. If you’ve been reading for the last couple of weeks you know they are single and looking. It’s hard for us...

Here's To You
piratescove:
Here’s to you the pregnant mother who is wondering if she’s going to be a good mom. If she can give her child all the things that she wants to give them. You will give your child everything they need and you will be a good mom.
*HUG*
Here’s to you father of children hoping you can teach your children the things they need to make the most of this life. You can you and you will,...
piratescove:
I’m going to give newer followers a review on someone from my work I blog about from time to time. I’ve called him the intimidating prick. I’ve called him that because he’s usually an angry bullying type of person that thinks to teach people and make them do their job properly is to yell and intimidate them. Even though I have plenty of experience in the field I work in, when I...
TT
piratescove:
I was asked a couple of weeks ago after posting about being frustrated with Karen if she knows I blog about her. My answer was that I never log out and Tumblr is one of my home pages when you open Chrome so it’s the first thing you see. I didn’t know if she read it, but I wasn’t technically hiding it from her. I found out the other day that she has been reading it.
At first I was a...
His Eyes
piratescove:
As he walks into the room she notices him right away. His face seemed somber, almost emotionless. He seemed like the quiet type. He greeted a few people as he walked toward the stage. They were happy to see him. He seemed as if he belonged there, yet he looked as if he felt out of place.
Then she noticed his eyes, they were a deep brown with a few wrinkles around them. Something...
I'm Sorry if I'm annoying you today
I’ll stop soon. I only have a few more that I can think of that I really want to share again. I’m going to stop for a bit.

A Kiss
piratescove:
When you give someone a kiss you give so much more than just your two lips meeting theirs. You’re giving away a piece of you. A piece of your soul. a piece of your emotions that say I feel so much love and desire for you right now that I won’t to be as close as I can possibly be to your right now.
Just before the moment of the kiss, there is a pause where you longingly look into...
Dear Clothes Gnome
piratescove:
Dear Clothes Gnome,
We all know you are a hoarder of single socks. We are tolerant of that even though sometimes all of our socks are dirty and we have to mismatch our socks. We tolerate you because we figure that gnomes don’t have therapists and hoarding is a problem that should be treated therapeutically. Maybe just maybe dear clothes gnome you can learn to speak since you’re...
Passive Aggressive Drama
piratescove:
With the fake drama Friday meme and some recent other drama I just heard about that I won’t go into. It got me to thinking about drama. It’s funny it seems to be a natural instinct in us doesn’t it? Maybe it’s the need to obtain “things” that causes it.
Have you ever watched two toddlers in a room together? One toddler will get bored of a toy then put it down and move on to...
I Walked In Miles Shoes
piratescove:
The other day I was walking home when I saw an older gentlemen in a wheelchair walking a dog. It was a small dog. The dog looked like it was ready to attack me. I started to walk around the dog a little so as not to disturb the old man. He looked at me and said “Good morning don’t mind him, his bark is worse than his bite.” I said “Good morning. It’s no problem I just didn’t want to...
Sex and Marriage
piratescove:
I’m jumping on the bandwagon here. Or is falling off the wagon?
When we first got married I was very inexperienced. Karen was actually my first but I had a few more before marriage. Figure that out. Fine, I’ll just tell you. She was my first but we had broken up a couple of times. I had a few other girls in that time. When we first got married we had sex a lot. We were Christians...

I was just in an accident. I posted earlier about driving with the bad wiper. It wasn’t even raining. The windows were dry so that had nothing to do with the accident. I just thought it’s interesting because I posted about it and someone replied to it telling me to drive safe. Anyway here’s what happened. I was driving straight heading to pick up a few things from the store when a...
That One Time
piratescove:
I thought of a story last night that I wanted to share. I’m calling it that one time because I’m a laid back person but I have been in a fight one time in my life. I have friends that when we were teenagers they were guys who used to fight all the time. A lot of teenage guys are stupid they think fighting is cool. Then again there are some of them that never grow up and still fight...
Pick Up Basketball
piratescove:
Yeah I’m a baller, shot caller, going to the maller. Ok fine, I’m not a baller or a shot caller but I do really like going to the mall.
That’s not what this post is about anyway. It’s about pick up basketball. I have to be honest when I was a kid and they asked me if I wanted to play a game of pick up basketball I thought they meant we were going to pick up basketballs. For all of...
New life
piratescove:
At 1:03 am Josie was brought into this world. My darling granddaughter very tiny at 6 lbs and 8 ounces. The dad cried more than the baby, I cried a little myself. Now life brings me to my next journey of being a grandparent. I’m going to need lots of money. Grandparents do the spoiling right?
This isn’t a profound deeply written post or anything but it was a...
Ok I'm done for now
I’ll be reblogging more later. Thanks for putting up with my little trip down memory lane. There will be more later. I’m trying not to annoy you but I do realize you can’t please everyone.
The Winds of Change
piratescove:
As you go through life winds will blow and cause changes that you didn’t really see coming. Sometimes you will cause those changes yourself. You make decisions that you know will cause your situation to change. For the last 10 years or so my life has been pretty constant. The winds that would blow in my life were more like a gentle breeze. Within the last year the wind has picked...
Whatever Happened To...
piratescove:
Whatever happened to ___ fill in the blank. The other day I was thinking about someone from grammar school his name was Charlie Johnson. We were the best of friends. He lived a block over from me and we spent all of our time together when we were younger. I would spend nights at his house, he would spend nights at mine. We would build forts and race Hot Wheels cars together. We had...
My Wifes Toys
piratescove:
I work 3rd shift so most nights my wife sleeps alone. I go to get in bed every morning and I have to move her toys out of the bed because it feels weird and creepy to sleep in the bed with her toys. I know she gets lonely and has the need to have company and I’m not a prude so I’m ok with her using her toys to keep her company and fulfill her needs. Seriously though you’d think...
What's in a Hug!
piratescove:
The other day I was talking to a very good friend who said that she feels she one of those people that’s destined to be alone. This made me sad although she wasn’t sad about it. I guess some people are content being alone, but I had to ask: What about having that someone to share all of your thoughts and emotions with? What about having that someone to share the horrible or...

Best Posts
I’m going to be going through my 2011 archives and reblogging some of things I’ve written that I actually enjoyed writing and am proud of. So just a warning for those of you that are annoyed by that sort of thing. Yes I’m self indulgent sometimes. I won’t do them all at once. I will spread it out over the day so it shouldn’t be too annoying I hope.
P.S. Thanks to...
Good Morning Pretty Human Beings!
Goodbye 2011
In the beginning of 2011 I was starting to get into a depression. No one knew it. I didn’t share it online, I didn’t share it with my family, I didn’t share it with my friends. I had gone through several job changes in the last couple of years due to the economy being in the tank. My kids were growing up. My oldest daughter had recently gotten married and my...
The List: Revised
impeccablepeccadillo:
You can’t avoid offending people from time to time. When you don’t mean it, apologize. When you do mean it, man up and accept the consequences.
Grudges are poison. The only antidote is to let them go.
Laugh. Laugh often. Laugh like you mean it. Laughter truly is the best medicine.
Your education isn’t complete until you’ve learned to take a hint.

Confession time
This is one of those posts you would expect to be posted on a Tuesday but Fridays are slow around here and this is so shameful I only want to share this with you die hards. You know I have flaws, I share them regularly. Like for example look at that first sentence it’s extremely long with zero breaks, you would almost think a teenage girl is talking to you. Yes it’s a flaw I’m...
Today...
I haven’t done anything of importance. I did just take a 2 and half hour nap. It was glorious. It makes me wonder if I’ll be able to sleep tonight now. I haven’t really slept much on this vacay. It has been amazing though not having to work at night. I’m wondering now if I make it back to working among the living (1st shift) how long it will be before my body readjusts to...

I’m bored and I love them put a random photo reply on this post. I’ll give you instructions on how if you don’t know already.

Save it to a folder on your computer. The easiest thing to do is make a special GIF folder.

You Know Those Days...
Where you feel like you’ve been super busy but yet so unproductive? Yeah it’s been one of those.
I did get the daughter to the DMV to take her test and that was a huge one. I count that as a goal accomplished but that was so early this morning. I’ve had the rest of the day but I’ve been running so much, I feel like I’ve got nothing done.
I went to church and...
I Let Her Fly Solo
Today if you were on this morning you found out my daughter got her license. When we got back home she asked if she could drive somewhere alone. Of course I told her yes. She had a license now. As she was driving away I felt like a bird letting one of the young ones fly away on their own. I knew she would be back but I know there’s coming a day when she won’t be coming back. I already...

Woefully disappointed. And angry.
musingandmulling:
This post is directed at no one that I follow, or who follows me, at least as far as I know. This post is directed at the unnamed (because this person is classy) people who chased one of my favorite people off Tumblr and caused said person to deactivate.
This is a BIG playground people. If you don’t like or agree with how someone blogs, move on. There is no need to be...
SST-Foreplay
Foreplay starts early in the morning or even the night before when you offer to massage her feet for her. Kiss her lightly on the lips tell her goodnight and hold her tightly.
You wake up the next morning and bring her coffee in bed. You tell her she her eyes sparkle when she first wakes up.
Throughout the day you lightly touch her skin as a gentle loving gesture. You ask her to go for a walk...
Poem.
wordsworthinc:
unspoken fire
that does not envelop me
even when i am careless
with my affections
who will listen to my confessions
when the wolves come out
to serenade the moon
with hungry songs
that never exhaust themselves
of longing?
She is sitting in the camera section now I think...
