WOW, I am lost sometimes

I was thinking of a blog idea and read about one I thought I would enjoy, I will do that one soon, and was using the word government. I kept getting a spell check red line under it, this confused me because I looked over the word several times and it was right. Well to my astonishment it was spelled wrong, I was leaving the n out of it, as I have done all of my life! I can not tell you how many times I have said and written this word wrong, but I am betting its in the thousands. I have always considered myself somewhat above average when it comes to spelling and speaking correctly. I guess we learn something everyday, my lesson for the day: Don't be so quick to judge. I say this is my lesson because when someone speaks to me in hillbilly or street slang it drives me nuts, I hate when someone butchers the English language, huge pet peeve of mine. But now I am in the same category of the rest of the people I have looked shamefully upon for being uneducated fools. Hey my bad, I still am not going to apologize and admit I was wrong to them, this will be our secret.

me having  little too much fun, lol

Funny stories

My wife thinks that some of stories when I went through chemotherapy are the funniest things shes has ever heard, so I decided to share a few. It is going to be hard to translate how funny they are from a keyboard but lets give it a try. I have to say some of the funniest occurrences happened  when I had been admitted for the first time. The ex wife and I were trying to have kids before we found out I had cancer and  we went to the fertility clinic to get checked out. They told me I had bad sperm and would not be able to have kids. About two months later I found out I had testicular cancer, but in my chest. The type of cancer was a germ cell tumor, a form of testicular cancer. After finding this out every doctor who had anything to do with oncology or urology had to come give me an exam due to its rarity and the hospital I was in was a military training hospital. After two days of people feeling my balls I was pretty use to it, so when a lady comes in the room and tells me she is there to give me an exam  I was use to the routine of dropping my boxers and lifting my hospital gown. When the nurse turned around and pronounced she was only there for my blood pressure  and shrouded here eyes I must have turned eight shades of red. I asked her if we could get my blood pressure later because mine was pretty high right now she said yeah your not the only one. She never came back to check my blood pressure again but all of my future nurses proclaimed quite clearly what they were there to do.

My first love

So there are many people who will not enjoy my first post, especially my wife, but I have to say fishing has always been my true love. I don't ever remember a time when fishing was not the priority in my life until recently, then over the weekend I discovered something magical. I had a graduation party for my niece at my mother in laws house, she has a nice farm pond that is well stocked and under fished. My mom and her husband were there and he brought his daughter and his three grandsons. I had been fishing off and on all morning, then the boys asked if I would take them to the pond. I do not believe I have ever seen such excitement from catching a bluegill as I saw in those young boys. I did not fish the rest of the day as I spent my time going form one to the other baiting hooks, removing fish and taking pictures, I have to say it was the best day of fishing I can remember in a very long time.Lately the depression of turning 40, getting news that I will be losing my job in the next few months and realizing my house is too much for the wife and I to be able to keep up with has really been hard on me and I know it has really been hard for my lovely wife. I guess I forgot there was more to life than a bank account and nice things. Last Saturday was the most amazing thing I have experienced in many years. We are not able to have children due to my previous bout of cancer, I have always been OK with that and tried to find solace in the fact that I had survived. I have been giving it a lot of thought and realized how depressed I have been over the last few years, I also realized it has been my selfishness that is the root of my depression. I am gong to fish my through my depression and come out the other side much happier!
