In celebrity death news, actor Corey Haim was found dead in California at the age of 38 from an apparent drug overdose. This story is getting really old. DON’T DO DRUGS!!!

If you haven’t hard, the Indianapolis Colts cut backup quarterback Jim Sorgi a few days ago. There’s really no surprise there since they kept Curtis Painter on the roster last season, Sorgi ended the season on the “IR” and he would be due a hefty veteran pay check for sitting on the bench. And let’s be honest, if Peyton Manning gets hurt there’s no one who can step in and fill those shoes.
But the time in free agent land didn’t last long as the New York Giants quickly picked up Sorgi to be the backup to Peyton’s brother, Eli Manning. Given history, Sorgi probably has a little better of a chance of getting in the game with the Giants, but let’s hope that doesn’t happen, as we need to see another Manning vs. Manning Throw-down this coming season!
Best of luck to Jim Sorgi though. I’ve always admired the man &have been a little bit jealous that he gets to hang out with Peyton Manning & gets paid the big bucks to do so. Not to mention, he’ll be in much better physical shape in retirement than many ex-NFL players are.

A few days into really using Windows 7 I’d say it’s not as bad as most people say, though it will take a little getting used to. So as questions come up in Windows 7, I’ll be adding links to useful tips. Feel free to submit your own or ask your own question.

My new matra for life is: “Live. Love. Laugh. Cry. C’est la vie.”
Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve never been one to just up and follow the crowd without having a good reason to do so. And for the most part I’ve always been a pretty laid back guy, rarely getting fired up over whatever it is that the masses are clamoring to and ranting about (unless of course it’s football, which is another story). I’ve always been one to try new things and to offer up a good laugh by throwing in a one-liner here and there. I may not be the type to wear my emotions on my sleeve, but I am man enough to cry when needed and will do my best to comfort family & friends in their time of need (and please don’t slug me if I try to make you laugh during the hard times).
That said, after having lost two children, my perspective on life has changed a bit. Not in the sense that who I am has changed, but in the sense that my perspective on the timing of life has changed.
What I’ve always heard, but was just not very clear until now, is that we’re not promised today, let alone tomorrow. I have dreams and goals. There are things that I want to do before my time on earth is through. Things that in my mind I have plenty of time to do before I go. But the truth be told, there’s a chance that I might not be here an hour from now.
All of that to say, my approach to life is to get out there and run with it while I still can. If there’s something that I’m putting off until I reach a certain point, until I have a certain amount of money, until my children are a certain age, etc., then, God willing, I’m going to do my best to achieve those things sooner rather than later.
And recently that has started to be put into action.
I’ve been traveling more lately, even if the locales are not foreign to me. Next on my list is to get a passport and find somewhere to go that we can afford (one of my sons wants to go to Mexico, so maybe that will be it).
And the biggest leap of faith that I’ve taken recently is signing a lease agreement for office space for my businesses. To be completely honest, that scares me a bit given the nature of my business(es), and rightfully so. And I may be just a little too laid back to recognize the enormity of that…luckily I have a better half to help me watch over that. But I’m locked in to at least try it out for a year. If it ends up looking like it’s not going to work out in the long run, so be it, but at least I tried and will have learned something from it. But if it works out, I’ll be ecstatic. As the saying goes, “it’s better to have tried and failed than to not have tried at all.”
