Right Eye Tear Drops: To My Friend Rhi...You will truly be missed.

Family Blessings - May God Bless My Uncle Nelson

There are no great words that come to my mind to properly express the sorrow that I feel right now.  When I feel this way sometimes I turn here to my own personal space in the world.  However, I do know that you were a good man, you raised a great family who I know is close to each other and holds each other dear.  I'm glad that you were able to say what was on your heart the most in your final hours.  I know that my Mom will be there for Aunt Terry, and that she will be cared for.  I can remember way back in the day when I was a little runt how you and my Dad would sit back and share a good story on a many summer days and nights.  Being here in IL and knowing what's going on back in PR makes me want to be there again. I miss my Aunt and hope that, with her brother and sisters, that she can find the strength to make it to a better day. I urge all of you that read this, to know that you can never tell someone that you love them enough. Take the time to tell your wife, husband, kids that you love them, always. I know I will. I'll never know how much time I'll have on this planet but I do know that from the mistakes I've made as a person, I take everyday to do better and be a better person. God Bless you for reading and give an extra strong hug for me.

I'm Giving Up Social-Networking for Lent! I'll Return To The InterWebs In 40 Days!

Yes it's True, after much debate I've decided to honor my faith and remove one the most time consuming things that I love to do, and give it up for lent. Social-Networking, via outlets like twitter, facebook, MySpace and even LinkedIn are on the top of my list to be removed for the next 40 days and nights, during this time I hope that it encourages me to embark on some other hobbies that I've been putting off, and help pour my mental focus into something that will better myself in the end. I encourage anyone else that may be interested in the same thing to follow these guidelines that I feel might be the proper outlook to make this actually count.

Rules:

1. Disable all notification features on your social networking site to prevent you from looking into your profile(s). I've done this to all of mine.
2. Delete/uninstall any and all social networking apps for your phone/smart device.
3. Blogs: I've been torn on this one, blogs are good ways to vent or share important thoughts or pieces of information, and from the feedback I received, I know of some who will continue to blog and some who won't. I will side with the ability to continue to blog as It might help me understand any withdrawals I may have and I still will be able to share my important events that will happen in the meantime. What I will do is turn off my twitterfeed from my blog to my twitter as it will be an automated form of cheating.
4. Socializing via Cell Phone (i.e. email, Calling or SMS texting) will be acceptable for communication, just make sure that you don't break over into the social sites, not even to view any photos or videos or profiles! This is a MUST!

I have to extend a huge thank you to: Catholic Tech Tip (http://catholictechtips.stblogs.com/) for supplying the images for use on my social sites.

Please take a moment to view their blog and rip the images from them. Until next time,

GOD BLESS AND BE SAFE!

P.S. Please pray for me as I feel I might not last...
