Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote
"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

kids say...
Jacob: "I need to operate on my frog, but first he needs some amnesia."
I took the boys to our local teacher supply store yesterday for a few new “school” supplies. Jacob asked for a magnifying glass, and Brendan asked for a miniature globe. I ended up buying the mini globe and a magnifying glass for each of them, you know, so they can read the words on the very small globe.
When we got home, I put all of their new supplies in our school bucket. But somehow, the globe keeps finding it’s way out of the bucket. Brendan has been carrying that thing around like it’s his new favorite toy. In fact, when we went to see a movie last night, Brendan couldn’t find his GameBoy for the car ride, so he brought the globe instead. I jokingly asked if he wanted to sleep with the globe last night. When he paused to consider it, I think he almost said, “yes”.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly
wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity,
inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
