They are doing all kinds of test. I am worried about him. After that we had to Stopped and a Hot dog stand. They had great food. WOW!!! On Saturday I had training all day. It was Emergency Vehicle driving. Yes before you ask I did drive an emergency vehicle. They had me take my driving test in a squad car. That was fun. I first got in and was like a kid in a toy store. I played with the lights and sirens. Well we celebrated my birthday early. We went to the Golden Corral. I am glade we went there. The food was great. I had to baby site for my friends the D’Antonio, they are a family friend and they go to my church. They have two kids who have autism. So they call me anytime they need a sitter. This time, I had to come over and watch there daughter over night and then get her off to school the next morning. I am glade that I am hope. I did not sleep at all night. So I am tired.

DADDIES POEM

This is on my blog. please read it.(If this doesn't get to you, nothing will)Her hair was up in a pony tail,her favorite dress tied with a bow.Today was Daddy's Day at school,and she couldn't wait to go.But her mommy tried to tell her,that she probably should stay home.Why the kids might not understand,if she went to school alone.But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today.But still her mother worried,for her to face this day alone.And that was why once again,she tried to keep her daughter home.But the little girl went to schooleager to tell them all.About a dad she never sees;a dad who never calls.There were daddies along the wall in back, for everyone to meet.Children squirming impatiently,anxious in their seatsOne by one the teacher called a student from the class. To introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed.At last the teacher called her name,every child turned to stare.Each of them was searching,for a man who wasn't there."Where's her daddy at?"she heard a boy call out."She probably doesn't have one,"another student dared to shout.And from somewhere near the back,she heard a daddy say,"Looks like another deadbeat dad,too busy to waste his day."The words did not offend her,as she smiled up at her Mom.And looked back at her teacher,who told her to go on.And with hands behind her back,slowly she began to speak.And out from the mouth of a child,came words incredibly unique."My Daddy couldn't be here,because he lives so far away.But I know he wishes he could be,since this is such a special day.And though you cannot meet him,I wanted you to know.All about my daddy,and how much he loves me so.He loved to tell me storieshe taught me to ride my bike.He surprised me with pink roses,and taught me to fly a kite.We used to share fudge sundaes,and ice cream in a cone.And though you cannot see him.I'm not standing here alone."Cause my daddy's always with me,even though we are apartI know because he told me,he'll forever be in my heart"With that, her little hand reached up,and lay across her chest.Feeling her own heartbeat,beneath her favorite dress.And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears.Proudly watching her daughter,who was wise beyond her years.For she stood up for the loveof a man not in her life.Doing what was best for her,doing what was right.And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd.She finished with a voice so soft,but its message clear and loud."I love my daddy very much,he's my shining star.And if he could, he'd be here,but heaven's just too farYou see he was a firefighterand died just this past yearWhen airplanes hit the towersand taught Americans to fear.But sometimes when I close my eyes,it's like he never went away."And then she closed her eyes,and she saw him there that day.And to her mothers amazement,she witnessed with surpriseA room full of daddies and children,all starting to close their eyes.Who knows what they saw before them,who knows what they felt inside.Perhaps for merely a second,they saw him at her side."I know you're with me Daddy,"to the silence she called out.And what happened next made believers,of those once filled with doubt.Not one in that room could explain it,for each of their eyes had been closed.But there on the desk beside her,was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,by the love of her shining star.And given the gift of believing,that heaven is never too far.They say it takes a minute to find a specialperson, an hour to appreciate them,a day to love them, but then an entirelife to forget them.Written By Very Cool People!

My day long and hard

My day was not like most. Today was really hard. We had to sign John back in to the hospital. John woke me up at about noon. As soon as I got up we left to take john there. John is a hospital in Streamwood. I hope there he can get the help he need. So got up there and meat with the doctors and the other hospital staff. We got him in a room about 445 so we finally about to so. As you can tell I was board. It’s not like I don’t love him but john is always going to the hospital. So I was board. On the way home we stopped at a fast food joint, I w2as glad it was not Mc. Donald or anything like that. It was a hot dog place. But they had soup, this is what I eat. It was great. After we got home I went to a car show. It was being held at my church. It was great to be able to go and see some great cars. What else in better then seeing the cars and picking on my friends. Well the started to pick on me first. So its was payback. I was also able to tell Father Ron I nominated him for an award. He is a hero to me. He went to fight in the war. About a year ago now, someone broke in to church and stole a basket full of money, He chased the Teen down and then we did not call the police, he found out the kid was on drugs. He worked hard to get the kid the help he needed. So I am so glad that he did. I look up to him. After all, No one would hire me because I am a guy and they always think the guys working with little kids are going to hurt them, but not Father Ron he gave me my job so long ago and still I can ask him for help.

4th of july

My Fourth of July this was in my opinion really sucked. Many family cooked out and are going to see the fireworks Well not us. Well we grilled out but eat inside. Well they did, I did not eat, John is being is shit head self. We did not do much. We are not going to see the fireworks because john is magically afraid of them. He never was in the past. So we all had to stay home. I went out side and tried to light fireworks off and it did not work. The lighter is broken or something it would not light. And being out side alone light of fireworks is no fun. I call my friend Steven and he did not want to come over. He is like my real only friend. So my holiday was bad.

Health care in America

Time for another rant and rave.

What bothers me about America? Over half of America citations can’t afford to get sick. Last night when everyone else is sleeping I am trying to find an empty inhaler just to try to get on last puff. They stopped making the inhaler that the doctor put me on. The FDA banned it, apparently it hurts the Ozone. What scars me is that it took them this long to find that out, after me and how many others have been taking it to live. Well the new inhaler doesn’t work. But it not like I can go to the doctor and get something new. He would let me in I don’t have health insurance. He charges about 265 an office visit. I can’t go to the hospital they will charge me 5000 dollars for one treatment. I am working hard to get on Medicaid. But my doctor don’t accept that either. He is still waiting to get from Medicaid paid for other patents. So that great to know, that Medicaid is from the government, who don’t pay. But even throw I have asthma and I need to take treatments to live, they don’t think they will accept me for Medicaid. So this is what I hate about America, a county of the free who don’t care about it citations. Who can’t afford to get sick? It may only be me but I feel we need to stop worrying about who has the nicest stuff and we need to start caring about America as a whole.

MY DAY

My day was it good or bad. You tell me. I got up late my alarm clock did not go off. When it I set it to. So that pissed me off. I wanted to get more studding done. But was not able to. By the time I got up john was home from summer school. So I can’t study when john is home he dose what ever is possible to make sure I can study. So fine I call and fine out that New Lenox is doing a fireworks show tomorrow at 6pm but the festivities starts at 5. It going to be at the city hall. So I am going, any one else? So after that I was going to call the state of Illinois that I have a question about my driver’s lic. So I called at 1pm and was out on hold. I was on hold for 3 hours then got a message telling me that the phone customer care is closed, they close at 3pm. I was pissed that they can’t pick up the phone. I want to work for the sate of Illinois I want to get paid big to sit on my ass and do nothing. I know that after you work for Wal-Mart you get a job with the sate of Illinois or I55 auto salvage, LOL. But on a brighter note, My Birthday is about 6 days away. I will be old, 23. But I got a b-day card from my baby, who is in the NY. That made me feel good to know what when no one else remember that she dose. I am never letting her go. I just wish I could drive to NY to see her. Oh I also got a b-day card from the Ace Hardware is New Lenox. I don’t know how they got they found out my b-day but it made me happy to see that they care. Well to go and check on eBay to see if I am winning the action. I am buying a new ham radio. My friends probably want to blow up my ham radios. I am always talking about them, or I am always using one. If I could I would get a job selling them.

TIME TO RANT AND RAVE (I AM PISSED)

Today I was driving around and I drove past something that pissed me off. I drove by a house with 3 kids swimming in a blow up pool in the front yard. All three kids was butt naked. There were 2 boy approximate 2 years old and a girl who had to be at lest 4 years old. Now I am all for kids swimming. I love to see kids having fun. But I don’t care how poor you are, your kids need to have swim suits on. Now I under stand they could be in the washer. But it’s not hard to have them swim in there underwear. Having kids outside swimming with no cloths on is just wrong. I was so tempted to call the police. I am against child abuse. And too see that, made me unset. I didn’t even see an adult around. What happened in someone walked by and tried to kidnap one or all of the kids. Who know what could have happened. And it still bothers me. So next time I see that I am going to call the police and report it as child abuse. A note to everyone, make sure your kids not swimming nude. Please put something on them.

BAD INFLUENCE

I am so glade to be a bad influence. Well I will tell you about my day and then you tell me if I am a bad influence. I got up at my normal time of about 730 am. So I went to VBS. That was fun like always. During that time I ran into one of my old high school teachers. Her grand daughter was going to VBS. Today was the last day of VBS I will miss picking on the kids. LOL yap I love picking on kids. This is why I become a teacher. Or that is what I tell the kids. When I was finished with that I many just worked on my Ham radio antennas. Yap I finally put on the house. It’s a home made one called a J-pole. It’s made out of copper pipes. There is a picture what a J-pole looks like. Mine is older but looks just like those. So after that it was about oh 730 and I went and sat out side to think. When I hard someone on Peal St. Lighting off fireworks. So I did what anyone else would do and got out mine and lit them off. So I looked over and watched my neighbor Dustin and he grabbed him lighter and when in to his back yard and about 2 mints later he light off a Professional one. See he is a professional firework person. I forget what they call him. His girlfriend Come and asked why he light one off. And he told her “Well matt and the other over there was light them off, so I had too.” So I am a bad influence and I am proud.

an idea from a friend.

To started out late. That right my alarm clock did not go off. So I was late to go to VBS. And they picked on me. It’s about time they got me back for all the times I picked on them. After that I ran in to my friend Lucky who is teaching me to install phone lines, cable and other stuff too. He is even working on helping me start bossiness. It’s going to be called O’Brien’s Communications team. We will install and repair phones, cable, satellite, security systems, and intercoms and can’t forget two way radios. We are going to be selling parts at Darolds flea market and then most people would want me to install it. So that is will get me us money. It mitt even keep me out of trouble. So after that I had to get John from school. And I came home and just slept. When my father came home I installed another radio in my van. I put in a CB radio. Then I ordered Pizza for dinner.

keep me away from the turtle's tank

Today to start like any other day. If only I would have known that it would turn bad I would have stayed in bed. I went to vacation bible school. That was fun, getting to pick on the kids. And being able to use the fax to get things done for the WCEMA. So after that I picked John up from the summer school. So like all the other days he was bad. But I was hungry and did not want to cook. So we went to Home plate. So for launch I had a salad.

So after all that it stared to storm and as always he freaked out and was throwing things around. So I got on his case about picking up the mess and he did not. He doesn’t listen to me. After that my dad came home from work. So I left t pick up my mom. She had to take john to a Doctors appointment. She took him and my father with her. I had to get ready for my training meeting with the WCEMA. It was radio training so I was in heave in there. IF you know what a big radio nut I am. So when I was going in to the bathroom to take a shower, one my way into the bathroom, I stepped over the cloths and stuff (was going to make him clean it after he got home.) I loose my balance and fell. On the way down I tried to grab the turtles tank to stop my fall and my hand when threw the glass. Cutting my knuckle on the right finger on my left hand. After trying for abut 10 mints to get the bleeding to stop. My father took me to the ER at Silver cross and was glade it did now. I had to get 5 stitches.

I really did not want to go. The last time I went to the ER for a finger cut. Witch was about 2 years ago. I cut the tip on a knife at work. I had to drive my self to the ER at Provena because Harrah’s would not cover silver cross. So I went over there, The Dr tried to num my finger and it did not work. So I yelled that it did not work. But he did not listen and still put the stitches in and I could feel everything. It hurt so bad that they hard me on the other side of the hospital. I am not joking. He refuses to stop. So I was worried about going this time. This time there was NO Pain. I was so glade. When I got home from the hospital it was time to get to the training class.

First day of VBS

Well today was the first day of Vacation Bible School. This is fun every year. How fun is it to sing dance make crafts and have a great lesson from the bible. VBS as it is call, is for kids 3 to about 6th grade. There is hard to tell who the kids are and who the adults are. VBS is fun for kids. This year’s theme is Sky kids. This is great. We decorated our classrooms. It’s also fun because I see my former student helping. I am glade to see that they took what I worked so hard to teach them. They are using what they learn to teach other about GOD. This year a girl that I had about 5 years ago is help. Man as I think about this I am getting old. We talked about how fun my class was. Means all the headaches and stress is worth it. We also talked about some of my new ideas, which I want to use to pick on the kids. One of the kids I had this past year, was there she called me old. Man is she right. I am an old man. LOL Well I was picking on her, I was making faces at her first. And yes she made them back. I can’t wait for tomorrow. I am working hard to get pick on here.

Field Day.

My Saturday was one of the best days of my life. I went to Field Day. Here is some history of field day.
For 75 years, Amateur Radio operators across the country have been providing emergency communications when other systems failed or overloaded in a crisis. Each year they take their equipment into unusual locations to test and make sure Ham Radio will always be there to get the message through. This year, is their the 75th anniversary “Field Day” as thousands of Ham Radio operators will be showing off their emergency capabilities this weekend.
Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications in emergencies world-wide. During Hurricane Katrina, Amateur Radio – often called “Ham radio” - was often the ONLY way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer “hams” traveled south to save lives and property. When trouble is brewing, ham radio people are often the first to provide critical information and communications. On the weekend of June 23-24, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with these ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about. Showing the newest digital and satellite capabilities, voice communications and even historical Morse code, hams from across the USA will be holding public demonstrations of emergency communications abilities.
This annual event, called "Field Day" is the climax of the week long "Amateur Radio Week" sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio. Using only emergency power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and back yards around the country. Their slogan, "Ham radio works when other systems don't! " is more than just words to the hams as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More than 30,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year's event.
If you know me and know what a big radio nut I am. Then you should now that is what I love to do. During this year events I operated phone (or in non-radio term voice) communication on the 20 and 40 meter bands. I talk to people from all over the world. I even talked to a guy from Greenland. That was fun. The more contacts you make the more points you get. We also had some ham radio operators come from the Red Cross.
They brought there radio truck. There radio truck is worth 1 million dollars. This SUV has a radio that can do any frequency in the world. This SUV has, a local disaster operations center can have up to 48 phone lines, high-speed internet access, e-mail and satellite-enabled communications with national headquarters - all during a time when conventional phone and cellular calls are either knocked out, hopelessly overloaded or simply not available. Add to this an extensive computer networking system, a 50 foot pneumatic mast with closed circuit TV, satellite capability and lots more great stuff.

I have included some pictures of the SUV and radio that we was using.

My week

Well, I got an email telling me I need to update my blog so here I got. This is what happened over the week, On Tuesday the 18th. I started training for the WCEMA. I am so glade that I joined. It is a lot of work and I am learning so much. I have to take 4 online classes. I passed the first one. On Wednesday I worked on my Van. The headlights was dim to i replaced them with really bright ones. And I finally replaced the radio with an after market CD player. I had to rewire the plug. But now I need to replace the speakers. The radio is to powerful so if I turn in higher then 26 it starts to pop the speakers. So that is another thing to work on. Thursday the tire I got from I 55 auto salvage went flat so I changed it and put on the spare. And Today I went down to I55 and got a new one. Yes now I am positive that the employees use to work for Wal-Mart they sold me a bad tire. So they replaced it with a new one for free. If it this one goes flat then they will buy me a brand new one or I will snap on them. There is everyone happy I updated my blog???

What I hate the most

I am so pissed. I am going to just come here to vent. This blog doesn’t talk back. LOL if it did I would go crazy. Even more then I am now. Here goes I am very sensitive about my weight. So I am trying the best I can to loose some. But as you can tell it is very hard. So I took my father out to eat for father’s day. And I ordered food, and only eat the soup. I had a lot to eat today so I did not eat anymore. I took it home for tomorrow. So its not like I am not eating. I am just trying to loose the weight that I have. I am cutting down on what I eat. So before we left he came to me and told me something that took everything I had not to go postal. He looked at a sign made a comment.

“Matt look there’s Seattle Sutton healthy eating. You know u need to loose weight.” So I looked at him and asked if he was calling me FAT and he told me “YES I AM”

I am go glade he told me i was fat. I never knew that. its not like I look down, and asked why am I so big? I dont need someone telling that I am fat. This is all Bull shit that he would make the comment. It’s bad when I go a restaurants and I can’t fit into a both. It also hurt when you go to like Wal-Mart, Coles, Old Navy, and they don’t have anything in your size and they look at you like you are some sick person for asking if they did. I go to thrift stores a lot. I don’t like paying a lot for cloths. I go there and they don’t care anything my size. It’s not like I want something big, just in like a 2X. I am not asking for stuff in like a 6X or even a 10X You turn on the TV and all they are talking about how fat America is. Stop talking about and help us loose weight. That would make us all feel better. My old boss the school principal Patricia Zeleznak would tell me a lot how fat I am. She told me to keep my job at the school I would have to work out 3 times a week and show her paper worker telling her I went to the Gym. I told her that if that was true I was going to call my lawyer and taker her to court Then before that my boss Mike Clifton told me in fount of my coworker that I need to get on a bike and star working out because I was fat. You know as well as I do that I am, I don’t need others to keep making comments. It has come to me the next person to tell me I was fat will get smacked for it. (Not really, it makes me feel better when I think about it) My Doctor told me I only need to loose about 40 lbs. So it’s not like I need to loose 200lb. So why is everyone making big deal about me. It’s not like I being fat. I want the 6 pack abs and the rock hard chest. Well I ever have it no I never did not even as a kid. As a kid I was in Ritalin and it keep my metabolism us so high that I could eat 3 LG pizza’s and would not gain a pound. Now I look at a candy bar I gain like 6 pounds. I am tired of everyone looking at me like I want to be this way.

my day summed up,

What a day
Today I got up and did what everyone else dose in the morning. So I went out to the RV and found Steven lying down on couch. So I told him that we had to get ready and get over to the church. So we packed the Van and RV and then van. So we hitched up the RV and off we went with Lelo. Once there Steven practiced backing up the RV. Its hard to back up the RV. So then we went into the Rummage sale. They after we got board. We went back home to get 2 more bikes. Then we ran in to my parent and we talked and to get rid of me for the day. She gave Steven and I some money for launch. So off we went we stopped by the Methadice church they give free bread. So we went there and got a lot of different kinds. I was so happy then we went to the Gyro Shack. Then we went to the bike Rodeo. When we got the started to set up the RV. As we did that some very scary people came. Oh I mean the Harty’s. LOL I am just picking you all. They are great friends, and I am glade to have them as friends. So they came in the started to get up. After that other came too. After them the Police came. I did not do it. LOL no the officer came to teach bike safety. So as the bike rodeo when on Eme. and some of the kids was getting hot so I told them that they can SIT in the RV. I had fans going there. So I let the stay in there. I told them 2 times to stop. Then I went with Brent to the office to get a stop watch and a mega phone. Yes they let me play with it. During that time Steven say the kids in there hanging on the piles and almost broke it. So he kicked them out and I am glade he did. One the way back to the group I had the mega phone and turn on the siren to scare the kids. That was fun. So that I helped Brent with the races. And I am being bad I was playing with the siren to Brent took it away. That is why I should not have anything that makes nose. LOL So we did the races and just had a great time. We did the closing ceremony and stated to take down. After we got home, I called Ricks RVs. Every time I go over a bump the RV bottoms out. So they want to look at it and fix it. After we just chilled. Then Lelo took Steven for a walk. After that we went for a car ride. We drove threw pilther park and even stopped to walk down by the river to look at a fishing stop. After that my dad told me he wanted to buy a new lawn mower and so I took him by the one I seen. We got it and then took Steven home, and I just going to chill for the rest of the night.

A day for accidents

Well today I woke up with a big list to do. At 8Am I had to get my mothers van to A-Plus Auto to get the drivers side outer Tie Rod. That was done by like 9. So then I went the rummage sale at my church. And I picked on my friends. That was fun. So then I had to get my mothers van and also my own. I needed to get a new tire for the passenger back side. My mothers van needed a new windshield and 2 new found tires. So we went there and they n\got my van done first. So I came home and I called Steven and we talked for a few our then I went out to my van so go and pick up my mom so she can get her van. Well is not how it worked. I walked out and say my new tier flat so I called I55 auto salvage. They told me to back the van back. So jacked up the van and then I took of the tier then I went to put spar on and just then the Van fell of the jack. I was pissed and scared that I messed up by van. So I called A-Plus and they send a tow truck over to help me get my van up so I can put there spar on. So after all that I went and picked up my mom and Steven the we went to there. They put the tier on this time. For free. So then we drove to Stevens and picked up the bikes and tools for tomorrow. The came home and when to the Gyro Shack for dinner. Then my mom called and her van had a plate so we had to run up there and fix that. I think that Wal-Mart trains all the employees of I 55 auto Salvage. And I have known all the employees for years. I did not know they worked for Wal-Mart too. After all that I got the RV ready for the cub scouts tomorrow. The awning needs to be replaced. I never used it and could not get it to work. I was going to use it tomorrow.

Lets Pray

Hey my aunt and I are very religious People. So I After hearing the bad news to day. I think we need to take a moment and pray to the good Lord above us. Yesterday a Joliet Police officer was stabbed in the line of duty. Also a family was found dead in their SUV in Channahon. A mother and 3 kids, all dead. So together lets play:

Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil. Amen.
