Hi all, this is my first post to the group. I typically think I look crappy in pictures, but I figure if I take one once a week, I'll eventually either get over it or find one I like. (This one isn't it.)
Hmmm, I don't seem to have an upper lip.
Today is March 6, 2008. It would have been my father's 63rd birthday. Instead, he was taken away from us in July of 1998 by lung cancer.
I beg you, plead with you, urge you, if you smoke cigarettes, please, for your own sake and the sake of those who love you, QUIT! Get yourself checked out by a good doctor and not by the hacks in Southwestern PA who diagnosed him with pneumonia and by the time they figured out they were wrong, he was already Stage 4.
He was strong until the very end. Death showed up for him and he looked it in the face and said, "No, I'm not ready to go yet." My mother saw this. She knew there was no one in the room and asked him who he was talking to. He said something along the lines of the man in black standing in the hall.
He had his good times even in the worst of times. One day, his friends were over visiting and they sat with him and joked and laughed and smoked weed and you would have never known there was anything wrong with him. If you didn't know.
I hope that we did right by him. The man loved to cook on our outdoor BBQ pit. And on July 4, after his service, we came back to the house and had the biggest cookout possibly ever seen in that yard. I know he was looking down on us with a smile.
Happy Birthday, Dad. We miss you.

How did you create your username for VOX? What influenced your decision?

Only because I'm bored, Vox.
My name = difficult to pronounce for some
Co-workers at the time = lazy drunks that didn't want the morning shift
Me = morning shift all the time
Morning shift all the time = nickname of Sunshine (and not because of my sunny disposition, asshole)
Lazy friends = Sunshine gets shortened to Shyner or Shyne
Now living in smelly south Florida = Miami-Shyner
After yesterday's crapfest, today is much better. :-) Even my horoscope says so:
Unexpected communication from someone special – most likely another woman – is likely to brighten your entire day, MiamiShyner. Even the subtlest of comments can take you to the Moon and back. You delight in the little things, and it does not take much to amuse you. There is plenty for you to be amused about today, and you will find that you happily bounce from one subject to the next, not to mention one feeling to the next.
I wonder who's gonna call or write today?!?! The anticipation!! SQUEE!
Oh, and I'm going to Zumba tonight. Loves me some working out. AND, I'm finally gonna get my lazy bum back over to the rig because I miss flying like nobody's business.
So much to do, so much time to do it in.
HEP!
