I haven’t updated this site since the Pope died,
out of reverence and respect.

I have to postpone my rants in here,
in accordance to his funeral.
Just like how Prince Charles delayed his marriage to his horse.
Oops! Did I say Horse?
I meant his “Noble Steed.”

So anyway,
these past few weeks,
there are a couple of things that I have just recently learned.
And I realized all of these,
after I heard one of Jeff Foxworthy’s jokes, saying,
“You never know that you are already a part of a group.”

It’s just one of those things that,
you thought you were the only one who thinks, acts and does things a certain way,
then you realize, you are not alone.

Just like whenever Tracy and I, think about how hard it is being a parent,
we hear stories about other parents,
with even worse experiences.

Like when we bought a house,
I never knew that there was an unspoken competition around your neighborhood
about who has the most manicured front lawn.
I didn’t even know we were entered in this contest without my full knowledge.
I am still trying to figure out how come no one told me
that when you buy a house,
you are bound to do yardwork 200 times a week,
for eternity.

I also found out that I was not the only parent
who could recite the animated movie,
“The Incredibles”.

I just found out that “Bambi” was a boy,
“Blue” from Blue’s Clues was a girl,
And “Spongebob” is,
well, I am still trying to figure that one out.

As I undergo my back therapy,
I found out that I have this condition called “Transitional Vertebrae”.
Which only occurs in only 6% of the population.
Either I belong to a group of unique people, or a group of freaks.
I prefer the latter.
Sounds more fun.

And lastly, I found out,
that I belong to a group that is “never happy”.
The “Never Happy Group”.
You know, the ones who want everything.
The ones who wishes to have everything.

I have always wished for a better everything.
If I’m not wishing for a “better” everything,
It’s wishing for a lot “more” of everything.

I wished for more guitars.
Better ones.
Or wished not to suck at it.

A bigger TV.
A home theater stereo.
Screw that!
I want a louder stereo.

A bigger garage.
A better car.
Screw that!
I want a faster car.

I want to travel.
To see new places.
Screw that!
I am lazy.
I want to sit on a more comfortable couch.
I want a robot to fetch me a drink.
A remote control that I can use with my brain.
While watching my bigger TV.

I want a gnome for entertainment.
After it cleans the house.
Maybe a little pet too.
Screw that!
I want a big pet.
Like a Llama.
Or an Ostrich.
Or a Horse.
Wait!
I can’t have a horse!
She’s marrying Prince Charles, remember?
(I kid! I kid!)

In conclusion,
with all the stuff I wish for and want to have.
I think I can run as president of the “Never Happy Group.”
Where I will implement no rules.
Members can announce their want for everything.
Can wish for everything.
And can complain about everything they don’t have.

I guess the only way you can renounce your membership,
is when you realize,
you just can’t.
