Cohen Got in A Fight

Mommy Consoles Cohen

I am writing this post mainly because that last one was such a downer. I am sitting up late watching Austin City Limits. Even though the bands tonight aren’t all that great (James Blunt, and some no-name dude from Texas) it stirrs up my passion for music. I RARELY play my guitar anymore. If anything I whip out Kesha’s old 3/4 size and bust out a tune. But even then, it isn’t long before Cohen comes over and starts wailing on the strings.

The other night I was doing some work at Cravings Coffee (the Old Dragonfly - where I first met Kesha). Little did I know it was an open mic night. I took a peek oustide where they had a stage set up. I didn’t get up and play anything, but it was fun just to be there. I think I would really enjoy getting a couple guys together and drinking a few beers and enjoying some music.

What do you think Chad? Randy? Tyler? Would you be into finding a sweet open mic and playing some gee-tar?

So I got a call from my dad the other day. He told me about an event that happened in my mother land of Canada. There was a bus on the way from Edmonton, Alberta to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Apparently one of the passengers got bored so he thought he might pass the time by strolling to the back of the bus and cutting some guys head off with a hunting knife. Once all panicked passengers made it off the bus he got hungry, so he proceeded to gnaw on pieces of the strangers body. He got off the bus with the head in his hands and waited for police to arrest him.

Are you freakin’ serious? What could be going through someone’s mind to do something so heinous? Honestly, I could hardly believe the story when I my dad told me — but it’s true.

I guess it was good that Greyhound pulled this recent ad campaign:

Bus Rage?

Cohen and I went on a double date last night. We went out for dinner and ice cream with a friend of mine and his daughter (Tyler & Ava). It was great! Cohen even let me eat most of the ice cream She is my absolute pride and joy. I can’t even begin to express the love I have for her! She is growing up SO fast! She says so many words, and she even knows some sign language! She says these words:

• mom
• mommy
• dad
• daddy
• jesus
• bible
• no
• riley
• ry ry
• kitty
• birdy
• hi
• bye bye
• night night
• ball
• bottle
• turkey
• chicken
• and probably a ton more that my wife will remind me about!

And these are the things she can do in sign language:

• Please (tap her chest)
• More (tap her hands together)
• Cracker (tap her elbow)
• Milk (like milking a cow)
• Done (Wave hands in the air)

Plus she gives the best kisses in the world! I love my little Co so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much!

Here is a little guy I created tonight in Illustrator. He reminds me of one of those punching things for kids…

Say Hello to Norman

Is it just me or do summers always just fly by so fast! And it really sucks because Kesha and I are both summer time folks. I love the warm sun and beautiful green trees all around. I am glad my mom got to visit and see her Coey. She arrived back in Calgary at 1am this morning. And now it is back to work I like my job, but who wouldn’t like to be on a permanant vacation?!

Here is a pic of Co with her Grammy Lisa.
