  Well, here we are. After much thought and little effort, I finally got around to creating my own blog site.
My inspirations for this were my friends, Colin and Penelope Dullaghan. They both have their own sites, and both are a great read. Colin: urlLink http://onlikepopcorn.blogspot.com and his lovely wife lope: urlLink http://www.penelopeillustration.com While I know I can match neither of them for their creativity, I hope that some people may come to find the same enjoyment that I get from them. Anyway, about the name of the site. Pretty simple really. The bike I ride is a Yamaha fz6.
Come spring, my wife will be getting either a Honda 599 or a Ducati monster. I think all of the "naked" class bikes are some of the most well balanced and beautiful pieces of machinery out there. Putting this together has been a simple process, one that managed to let me pull up some great memories. In looking through my pictures for one to post here, I got to run through all of the folders on my PC. Finding nothing to worth posting, I started flipping though the books of my wedding day. I think it was one of the most fun and beautiful days of my life.
The picture I chose is one that was taken of Val and I leaving the church. Thinking of that day, and the past two and a half years brought one verse to the top of my mind. "We never get to stop and open our eyes, One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall, and next your dazzled by the beauty of it all. " Lovers in a Dangerous Time-BNL Val and I have both been busy doing our own things, and it's been a little rough lately.
I miss her more and more the less I get to see of her, and that verse sums up all my feelings. We both have been busy to the point that it doesn't seem like there is time to open our eyes and look at the world, let alone each other. Top it off with the fact that I've been kinda pissy lately about things ( waiting for the sky to fall ) .
. .
Looking at the pictures of her brought it home for me. Dazzled by the beauty of it all .
I have never seen her more stunning than that day, and it made me remember how glad I am that I get to share every day with her. She is the most stunning and fun person I have ever met. I can't imagine a day in my life without her. I needed this. I needed to be reminded of what was important to me. Her. I guess the thing I learned today wasn't so much as something new, but something I needed to be reminded of.
The day to day gets to us all. Just take a moment to remember what really makes you happy in life. I love you, hon.
