Loss of our magical youth

Well it is Official. Michael Jackson has passed on.

He has not been a big influence in my life for the past 15 or 20 years. But growing up how could I forget Thriller! I watched the Video I don't know how many times and I watched the the making of Video just as much. And who could forget his moon walk or Billy jean, I think we started to see him go down hill after "Bad" came out. But We all have been influenced by this man.

I can only wish his family my best at this time. They have my prayers with them at this time. Him only being 50 right now. That is such a young age to die.

We Wish you the Best Michael where ever you may be at this time. We will miss you.

Never thought I would hate being called a name

Usually when people first meet me they ask if they should call me Jake or Jacob. My reply to them is, "I don't care. You can call me "hey you!" if you want."

Then people Find out that my middle name is Jacob and that my first name is William. So they just ask me why I do not go by William or Will. To which I reply. I just have never answered to William or Will and if you try to talk to me and call me William the chances of me realizing your talking to me is slim.

So as the wedding approached Cassie said that her family might get confused by the William Jacob Shelley on the invitations. Worried that people might call me William or Will. I said I did not mind. But I never realized that people might call me Bill. But not only call me Bill they would but it on cards, Gifts and other things. So when I started to see this. I was disturbed. Allot more than I ever thought I would be. Bill?? My granfather on my mothers side is a Bill. My uncle is a Bill. Cassies Grandfather on her mothers side is a Bill. I am not a Bill. I did not put Bill on the invitations or on the registrys or anywhere at all. I did not even hint at ever wanting to be called Bill.

I laugh at it now. But when I first saw it, it sent shivers down my spine, and not the good shivers either. Both Cassie and I both got this name change thing in our gifts she got Cassy. Both of us were a little annoyed. But we laugh at it now. What can you do really. But for everyone out there. I am a Jake or Jacob and it's Cassandra or Cassie.

Internet. Schmiternet!

I am Really getting tired of all there networking sites. I mean really how many do I need to join? How many times do I need to know that some person I knew at one point in time is brushing thier teeth or trying to decide if they should go shopping or not.

Then you get into the news. Not only is the news becomming more and more usless. Giving opinions and not facts. Why do the Newspapers have to work so hard to get money. Why do things have to get some damn expensive. The digital age has done so many great things for us. But also the Digital age has torn us and more specifically the youth so far away from reality that I am suprised that we even take time to cook ourselves a meal anymore.

These are things I have seen that the internet has done for us the past decade or so.

1. Helps the American or just in general the world population gain fat.

2. Lets all of us think we are know it alls because we know how to look something up on Wikipedia.

3. Made us all even more of a critique. because everyone has an opinion on everything. The internet just lets us type it for everyone to see and know what type of moron we are.

4. It has took away our work ethic as a nation. It does not matter if it is at home or on the job. We do less work and more web surfing.

5. Internet rip off sites and scams. enough said.

6. Scocial networking sites that make us Less Scocial!

7. Twitter? Really??? Do we really need it!

8. Really sick and twisted sites. Not porn! But sites that show people getting maimed, killed, severly beaten up and all other horrible things. does not matter if it is fake or real. Why do we need it.

9. Child porn. You hear it more and more often of some teacher or goverment official gets caught.

10. Porn in general. I mean really it has gone from your standard typical stuff. To things that would just make you vomit. Sad thing is someone gets off from it. It encourages filth.

The internet Has many great things to offer. But all the filth and other crap you have to wade threw makes it so annoying. I admit that I have gotten caught up in some of these things. But Really I am wanting to be done with it. The Crap that I see going threw the world wide web has started to discust me. I know maybe 3 people will read this. But that is ok. I am sure someone would leave a dumb comment because they never learned to read anything more than a scentence in thier lifetime. We are in the age of the internet. Or the age or the know it all can't do anything with it.

MaRrIeD LiFe iS sTrAngE!

It is so odd to think that I have been married now for a week and a half. Coming up on 2 weeks. No more late night Drives to and from home to drop cassie off. No more holding back on the makeouts.(No more details here) andMore time with my sweety. More sleep for sure. Just the quality time that I always wanted.

But Still everyonce in a while I just think. How in the world did I get this beautiful Woman to marry me. We are both crazy I guess.
