Have you ever sat around and said to yourself, "That is brilliant!! I really should share that." Well, that happened to me a few times but I forgot what I wanted to share. However, I did complete my one and only semester at TCU. Yay Horned Frogs!! Thank you to all the tax payers who paid for my GI Bill. I should also thank myself since my taxes too paid for it. I found my semester at TCU to be very eye opening. As someone who had nothing to lose or gain by attending, I was able to attend classes and not stress about getting a paper done on time or what grade I would get. I was a free man walking on campus. I made an observation while attending classes. If you want to corrupt a person, and want to influence the path of society, become a Professor and teach whatever you want to share. These "kids" in these classes just sat there and never questioned the teachings of their professors even though the teaching may be incorrect. They just drank the Kool-aid and blindly nodded yes. These "kids" never questioned when a Professor said they didn't believe in God or shared some political idea that they, the Professor, thought was a great idea. Needless to say, I did not sit idly by. I had no problem questioning the Professors or asking why they believed what they believed. I wasn't rude. I wasn't mean. I was however forceful in my beliefs and my love for my country. As you might imagine, I was the teacher's pet. Ha! I was probably more like a thorn in their side. I say that that was my only semester at TCU, not because of the teachings, but because of my schedule. I was a whipped dog when the semester ended. Between rotating shift work, taking Jurnee to school, Husband and Father obligations, and just life in general, that is why I will not be going back. I have 12 months of GI Bill benefits, I already have my Masters degree and there is no need to kill myself with a crazy schedule.
Jurnee completed Kindergarten. I got a little choked up her last day, but I really think it was just allergies that was bothering me. I'm not really a sensitive guy, just ask my wife, but for some reason I start getting this weird feeling in my chest and eyes when it comes to my wife and kids. My kids are growing up way to fast. Jurnee also started gymnastics and is loving it. Every day I try my best to be a good dad and husband. I will say that I need to do a better job at "living in the now."
Work has been busy the past month. It's severe weather season which translates into a busy day at work.
Miriam is doing her mommy thang. I don't know how she does it. Seriously. How does she do it?
Talon is getting big, dangerous, and just an all around boy. I like it. I can relate to him because he just does things without thinking, then get hurt, and then do it again. I pray he learns faster than I did. With that being said, I have pretty much covered 6 months in about 3 paragraphs.
PS: As I was finishing this up Miriam asked who I was typing. I told her I was writing a blog. She then says, "Oh great. Who are you going to piss off now." Love it!! :)
In Him,
The Clouse
