For Jacob

Sometimes I hate to watch you sleep
because I cant go with you
to the place of your dreams

Sometimes I hate to let you leave
to school because your independence
threatens my role in your life

Sometimes I hate to wake up
& find you have already awakened
because those lost moments

are irreplaceable.......

Well I am extremely HAPPY! today. I was just informed that my friend, Gilbert was able to secure a pair of floor seats for TOOL on Sept. 8th at the Staples Center! It is going to be off the hook & it will also be my 2nd time seeing Maynard James & the boys this year (I caught them earlier when they headlined Coachella). I am quite ecstatic. This is most likely gonna be the last go round for TOOL for the fact that they release an album every half decade. If they stay true to that time schedule of album releases, then we cant expect a new TOOL disc until 2011-2012! So I better revel in the experience at Staples cuz for all intent & purposes, this is the end of the line for TOOL & its fans.

For Sara

I don't know where to begin when it comes to you. First, I should start by saying that your beauty grows 10 fold on a daily basis. You are so precious of an item to me, that to lose you or to be without you would be like losing half of myself. A simple smile is all it takes for me to appreciate the complexities of Life. In your face I see the Creator. You tug at my heart strings with your tiny hands. Hopefully one day you will be able to read these lil posts I publish. Maybe one day you will be able to experience the joy that is parenthood. To watch you sleep is to spy on God. To hear you coo is like listening to the lost language of the Ancients. To play with you is to hold the universe in my arms. I love you, Sara Alex.

Dad

Hey all,
Well it is monday here in LA LA land & I am just coming off a pretty relaxing & enjoyable weekend. I Went to my God daughters birthday yesterday & all the usual suspects were there, you know cousins, parents, sons & daughters of cousins. It was at Chuck E Cheese & my son Jacob had a pretty good time. We got home & me Jacob & mom went for a swim which was quite refreshing. After that I took my wife out for drinks & appetizers at a local restaurant.

Now I am sitting at my desk at work......life is good. I thank the mother goddess for all the benevolent energy she has bestowed upon my family.....
