New path

I have decided to blog as others do, on items that I like and think are cool, or even care about, instead of this being an online journal.

To start this off I will let you know a bit about who I am. I am an Apple computers/linux/unix fan. I feel computers are like AC units, they don't work as efficient if you open Windows. I have a love for music, all music that is good (meaning not derogatory, or degrading). I listen to Classical for the most part in my car, and funk/rock/ska any other times. I am an entrepreneur at heart, I cannot stand having limits set on what I can and cannot do, and love to explore new ideas, and revisit old ones. I would love to meet Nichola Tesla, George Massemburg, George Gershwin, Anderson Cooper, anyone who has a visionary mindset and is willing to share it through hard work and perseverance. I love art, paintings, drawings, bright colors strewn across a canvas in careless joy, or dark colors carefully marking the anguish of the artist. I am all for natural resources and remedies. I love my family, and I try to be a man of God. These are some of the things I will get into. If you want, email me on topics you would like to discuss openly, or are too busy to research yourself, I would be happy to look in my spare time.

Bad List

I guess I am on it for a few people due to a decision that I have made with the wife. We have decided to look for a place in Idaho, near Boise. We talked it over and moving to Eastern Idaho would prove to be too cold and too small for Beth to handle, so we talked it over and Caldwell area (near my brother Dan) seems more along the lines we like. It is still a 2.5 hour flight form Boise to Phoenix, and still relatively cheap with certain airlines.
I understand and appreciate the pain my wife is going through, leaving both her family and the place she grew up in. I love her so much for putting up with me and for taking care of my boy. I know that she will be a great mother no matter where we live. I also love her family for putting up with me and all the hassle I come with.
Her parents have been so loving and open armed to me and made me feel as much at home as one can. Her mother has done so much for us, she has done so much for me too. She created a scrapbook that covered the basics of my life and some parts that I had forgotten. She had gone through so much trouble to get all the info that she did for that too, I was amazed at how much it covered. She then went to the extent of making a book of my families history, something that my grandmother did on my fathers side, but not much has been done on my mothers side., but she went ahead and did it. My father-in-law is great too, he spent a whole year building our enclosure for our back porch. He used all the time that he had off to do it, he would come over early in the morning and stay late on it, even when I could not be there to help.
I guess it comes down to this, we all have something great in the family that is around us. I know how much they mean to my wife, and to me, and I do feel pain in the thought of them not being able to be so involved in my sons growth, but I feel the same when I think of my parents. I know that my parents will not be the same as Beth's, that they show their love differently, but I know that no matter what they will be there for us, both my parents and my in-laws.
