The State of the Cheeks Post - Year in Review




I love this tree!


2007 -We’ll call it a character builder on all fronts, a humility check, and an educational experience. I survived to be reminded once again that the only things that are fatal are the ones that can kill me. As powerful as emotions and negative thought can be, they alone, won’t do me in. These are my personal lessons 2007.

There are probably blog posts to go along with them on one of the three spots I posted during 07. If I were ambitious, I would insert links along the way. For now you will have to pretend.

Jan – Roadrunner for "my kids". On-line ‘activities’ sure can suck up a lot of freakin time when your lonely. Misery loves company. At any given moment in time, there are several large cruise ships of lonely souls surfing the wacky wave of transition somewhere near an island in the land of in-between. Those waves get so crowded with desperation, it feels like riding a cliché after a while.

Feb– Blogging is fun, Blogging is scary, Blogging is stupid, Blogging is liberating, Blogging is introspective, Blogging is one way to invade ones own privacy, Blogging is good exercise and…… People take Myspace very seriously.




March – You aint over that bridge til your standing on the other side. You cant get to the other side unless you got the balls to get out onto the bridge, look over the railing and start walking ………. I cant believe my own dog would lock me out of my truck.


April – Step forward, step backward, step forward, step backward…... The purpose of some things is to show the purpose of other things. In the end…….Its entirely possible that the signficance of three really big birds flying over head might only be that there are three really big birds flying over head.



The "KINKS" on On-line dating

She I.M’d me one day from Nigeria,
she asked me how I was and
in a dumbfound text I said
HOLA, H-0-L-A, HOLA
She asked bout my bank accounts, I asked her her name,
In a bold faced font front, (ALL IN CAPS) she said it was Tola
T-o-l-a, Tola, Ta Ta Ta Ta Tola,





May – Figuring out what I want often involves finding out what I don’t want. There are no "kinda sortas" on the other side of the bridge.



June – If you drop a canoe on your head, good things will happen.




July – See that shadow? Not the one in the window but the one in the grass. That’s me and its always been me, the luckiest man in the world. Did you see that tick on my ass? Me Neither but that bruise is big huh? If you see the tick, thank him, thank my bundle too, thank my doc, thank lyme Conneticut and………Fuck R.J. Reynolds…….. Forever!.


August – Music is good, love is powerful, you don’t save money when you quit smoking and Rascal Flats on the juke sucks when your trying to sing a Willie Dixon song. Always remember: You could be standing next to the base of rainbow and not even know it.



September – bigger steps, brighter days, older kids, and the realest of the real deal. Spending more time living life than writing about it.
Lets make a racket at moose’s place, take a dance lesson, sing bout Roosevelt Franklin for the dancin hippies and meet some more good people.







October - Kinda warm for October huh? "Long live Stan the Hot Dog Man!"

November – So what, its only a month. Its November and it’s a hell of a good month to go fishing. BTW,if you double click on the pic to enlarge it, you can see my nephew in the fish's eyeball. He took this pic, my oldest daughter (Jelly Jar) got the shadow pic of me and dawg and my bundle clicked the shot of the snowy elm.
The rest are cheek's.




December – Well aint that special, its where we are right now…. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
