Matt-Man....What else?

Hail and well met

I have run out of things to put as titles for this blog, but no fear I haven't been avoiding posting because of it. I have been rather busy for the last couple of days, between working and being up at Terri's.

Not much to post I guess. Things have been ok. Hours at the PO are getting a little scarce but that can change at a moments notice. For now I am enjoying the time off trying to get things done that I didn't have the spirit to do earlier.

As of late I have found myself gravitating towards a very Zen view of life. Not to say that I totally understand the Zen belief system but I am researching it. One funny point so far is that I don't see it being a religion for the most part. Buddha is not God but instead an enlightened man that Ascended. Now of course every "right minded" Christian out may have just cringed but I will remind then that Enoch walked with God and was not. What do you think that meant?

Much of what I read about it so far seems to follow a strange parallel to the things that I have been feeling as of late. You see long ago I choose to not follow any man but instead to allow the Force (Spirit of the Lord, Holy Spirit) to guide me to the truth, which is what I see a true Jedi's walk to be. Since then I have found that many of the things that the Straight Christians stand for I do not. I could go into detail but I really don't feel the need to dump it here. If you are interested ask me. I cannot promise that it will make sense since I am still figuring it out myself but what I have I will share.

Wow didn't intend to go down that road. So I am in good health and feeling good... Oh heck I have to tell all of you about the special thing that happened over the weekend.

We threw Ben a surprise 37incher Birthday Party. Most of you know that he hates his birthday, being on December 28th. I have to agree that is the worst B-day ever. Not on either holiday so it gets lost in the mix. Even if someone tries to set up a party it ends up being derivative and mundane, with X-mas and new years right there. So I decided to give Ben a party when he wasn't suspecting it. It was almost a month later being on January 27 but that was close enough.

It was a total success. Val,Mel,Sara,Jack,Nicky,James,Jon and myself were there. Well there was one other person there and it was important. Jenniy was there all the way from Michigan.

It was amazing. Ben had a day from hell and it went from Suck to Awesome in a flip of a switch and the opening of a door. You see Jenniy hid in the Dead Room and waited until Ben had come to grips with the party as it was before she jumped out. That was a magical moment. To see that look on Ben's face was so worth it.

All in all it was an amazing night and it only got better. The next morning I went over and took Val,Mel,Nicky and Kelsey to a place in Crestwood called Sancuary Crystals (I think I may have the name mixed up). A rather cool store with real cool stuff. Then I took off from there and met Terri at home, her home that is. Spent Sunday evening and Monday with her then met her for lunch on Tuesday after which I came home.

This was a weekend that rocked.

Ok so anyone that is in the area and is interested in coming up to Lake Villa Terri has extended an invitation to watch the Super Bowl and hang out Sunday. I am going to be making calls to most to extend the invitation in a more personal way. But this is a safety net in case I miss someone. Hey if you cannot make it no biggie just throwing out the invite.

May the Force be with you

Excelsior!!!
