Congrat's

WOW. So today is Friday (finally) Sept. The 22nd. My little cousin Jimmy, Now James is getting Married today! Wow.....Seems like just yesterday that........Ah crap, I am not going to bore you with all of that senseless dribble... So raise a toast to James & Maris. Here's to you both and to the MANY years that lay ahead; both good and bad may life bring you both much love and happiness...... Ok NOW it is time for a good ol' drink..... Oh wait I have to wait until at least 10am right???? Peace out, word to ya mutha', rollin......... M

Been a Long time!

Alright, So it has been a long and winding road, or should I say time since I have last posted..... Well how are things out there?? Things here are very good, I have a very beautiful wife who I cannot get enough of even after 11 wonderful years, I have 2 children who I absolutely adore and could not imagine a day without them........ Work right now is very good, what can I say about that?? Hmmmm, Well I have nothing but good things to say about every single one of them, seems as though things have really fallen into place and going very well, Not to mention I have excellent help in the office now........ I have been able to drive the great "Michelle" as I have just given her a tune up, we also brought home "Gretta" , this is Kristine's baby..... We will soon be bringing home Jennifer's yet to be named 66' project...... So with that have a great day, or night! M

WHAT DAY IS IT??

Working the past 13 day's in a row?

Not Enough Money to be worth it!!

Not remembering what day of the week it is?

Again not enough money to be worth it!!

The fact that it is indeed Friday and I have the entire weekend WITHOUT KIDS??

PRICELESS

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

SO, SO PROUD.......

Ok,

for those of you who know my daughter, you know how truly amazing she is, so being the proud Father that I am, it is time for me to BRAG.......

Jennifer took a test for the T.A.G. (talented and gifted) program at her new school and she scored an AMAZING 99%......YEP that's right......99%, you only need a 97% to be accepted, ahhhh I am so damn freakin proud of her! Kristine asked her last night how she thought she did and she said she thought she did pretty good, thought maybe she missed one and that the test was not too challenging for her.....

Man am I soo excited for her future! So here's to Jennifer, the best Daughter anyone could ask for.

Love you Bird Girl!

WELCOME Addison Murphy King

congratulations to Jimmy and Maris. Maris gave birth to Addison Murphy King on Sunday. Here is a great family shot.

I FREAKIN LOVE IT!

I ran across this yesterday,

I MUST FIND THIS STICKER!

Amen Brother!

Ok,

It has been awhile since I have posted anything close to what I am about to, but first please read my disclosure.........

***IF YOU DON'T LIKE, DISAGREE, GET PISSED OFF, OR GENERALLY HATE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY THEN JUST KEEP MOVING. I DON'T EXPECT EVERYONE TO AGREE AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES AMERICA A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND BE FREE!******

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers.

The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America.

Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...

Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Guns do not make you a killer.

I think killing makes you a killer.

You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed.

Girls belong in the Girl Scouts!

ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.

I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English!

As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop.

If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don't hate the rich; I don't pity the poor.

I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television.

That doesn't stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more.

If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals.

I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am sick of "Political Correctness."

I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent.

I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe.

I am proud to be from America and nowhere else And if you don't like my point of view, tough...

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

AMEN!

86% of Americans believe in God.

Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having

"In God We Trust"

on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Shut Up ,lay down and BE QUIET!!!

It just keeps getting better

unfortunately the story below is TRUE. This is a real shame.... Fox News April 28, 2006 British music producer Adam Kidron says that when he came up with the idea of a Spanish-language version of the U.S. national anthem, he saw it as an ode to the millions of immigrants seeking a better life. But in the week since Kidron announced the song — which features artists such as Wyclef Jean, hip-hop star Pitbull and Puerto Rican singers Carlos Ponce and Olga Tanon — it has been the target of a fierce backlash. "Would the French accept people singing the La Marseillaise in English as a sign of French patriotism? Of course not," said Mark Krikorian, head of the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that supports tighter immigration controls

U.S. Prepares for 'Day Without Immigrants'

U.S. Prepares for 'Day Without Immigrants' WHAT..... Seems to me we SHOULD be doing this already, hence the term ILLEGAL! Don't we have anything better to do??

BREAKING NEWS FROM IRAQ.

U.S.Navy releases Al Qaeda Terrorist -

The US Navy today announced that it has released a senior Al Qaeda terrorist after questioning him extensively for 27 days while being held prisoner aboard a US aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea.

In a humanitarian gesture, the terrorist was given $50 US and a white 1962 Ford Fairlane automobile upon being released from custody. The attached photo shows the terrorist on his way home just after being released by the Navy.

NUTSHELL

• We chase misprinted lies
• We face the path of time
• And yet I fight
• And yet I fight
• This battle all alone
• No one to cry to
• No place to call home
• Oooh...oooh...
• Oooh...oooh...
• My gift of self is raped
• My privacy is raked
• And yet I find
• And yet I find
• Repeating in my head
• If I can’t be my own
• I’d feel better dead
• Oooh...oooh...
• Oooh...oooh...

IF YOU GET A CHANCE LISTEN TO THIS SONG, IT IS ONE OF THE BEST EVEN WRITTEN AND SANG BY ALICE IN CHAINS OFF OF TH JAR OF FLIES EP.......

I have an AWESOME Daughter

I love both my kids, they continue to amaze me each and every day.....

Here is a poem written by my 9 yr old Daughter Jennifer......

Irish sun; clovers green, Grass as soft as cotton, Sunset moon rise through the nighttime skies, Slightly raining still containing, Million stars remaining, As I walk to the window when the floor creaks as my fantasy ends, Wishing I could have this dream again. Written By Jennifer McKenzie Paulsen 3/2006

Recap

Ok Gang, It is Monday the 20th of February, HAPPY PRESIDENT'S day to you all. So my Favorite President has to be none other than Ronald Reagan, YES Reagan, hate to break the bad news to all you Dem's out there but he is the real reason we had such a good economy in the 90's, remember trickle down economics??? Well it worked, Think about it for a while. So Kristine and I renewed our vows over the Radio Via 105.1 the Buzz on Valentines day and had a great time doing so, we didn't win the overnight stay but the couple that did win was very nice and we are happy it went to then. Other than that everything else is good, Kid's are good (most the time), Dog's are good, and new House is good..... Have a GREAT day.... Michael

FRIDAY BABY!!!!

OOOOOOHHHH YEAH.......

FAMILY TIES.....

• JASON WROTE:
• I didn't respond to your email. Are you refering to me?
• MIKE WROTE:
• What do you think? Cmon, at least come up with a good excuse? Does not bother me a bit that you couldnt help or even want to help for that matter, I thought it would however be nice to see some of my family, ie, you, Heather, Jessica, Jimmy....
• JASON WROTE:
• You have made a mistake. My wife told you and Christine, when she ran into you at Home Depot, we would not be there because she had to work that day. Not that any of that matters. The point is we are not your slaves; we do not work for you and do not report to you. You are not the gate keeper of our time. Our relationship is not parental therefore you do not have the liberty to chastise us when we do something you do not approve of. Y! ou do not posses the authority you claim. Only our parents and grandparents have that authority. They have that authority by right and respect. It is something that doesn't come because you are the oldest, for we do not live in tribal times. You are the only person I know that sends emails out asking for help and requiring a response. You had to know there were people that wouldn't respond. Of course you did why else make the ultimatum? This is a ridiculous farce and needs to end. The ball is in your court. How you choose to proceed can and most likely will affect our relationship! Jason
• MIKE WROTE:
• Wow, Ok lets make one thing VERY clear, when we ran into Jennifer @ Home Depot her first comment to us was "So did you guys move yet?" Seems to me that if she was asking us if we moved yet she could not have told us she had to work, also SO WHAT if she had to work, it would have been nice to see you and your boys.As far as your Parents having the authority over you, seems to me that's not the case either, I seem to recall you didnt even go to Grandma's for Thanksgiving to see your Dad off before he left for Nevada. That is besides the point, it has nothing to do with authority, it has to do with is common courtsey, respect and tact, if I send you an Email asking for some help the couteous thing to do is reply back with either a yes or no, simply put. It is far from a demand or being your gate keeper. You know life has a funny way of working, those people w! ho have courtsey, respect and tact seem to live a little more rewarding life in many ways, and those who don't alway's end up in a rut, It's called Karma. Li! fe is way too short to always be so damn self absorbed. Also as far asking for a response? That was so I knew in ADVANCE how many donuts, pizza and beer to buy. Do you really think we would ask people to help and then send them on thier way, cmon man, ever help anyone move before?? At least Jessica of all people had enough TACT to call and say she couldnt make it because she was sick. Well at least now I can see your true colors my friend. Family to you means NOTHING, and I am NOT talking about your wife and kids, The true mean! ing of family extends FAR wider than that, But then again I forget who I am talking about!
• JASON WROTE:
• This is you. You post something inappropriate and/or derogatory on my blog again I will report it as abuse. You have said enough damaging and hurtful things. Let us go our seperate ways without making this worse.
• YOU GOTTA LOVE FAMILY!
• JASON, NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE FAMILY AND I FORGIVE YOU.

WELL NOW

Ok, Now that that is over...... Happy Wednesday day, Life is short, HAVE FUN, AND PLAY NICE WITH OTHERS.... Words to live by. VW Out....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.......

Dateline Tuesday, January 24th, 8:30am, Back to work and eyeballs deep in paperwork, Emails & Voicemails, I tried to take today off but the Boss said NO, My voice Mailbox was full..... I have Employee's who did not feel the need to show up for work last week, and now to make matters worse, We are still waiting for our MONEY from the sale of our first house....That's allot of money to just have out there. So, Back is sore, I am tired, our new house is FULL of boxes. Who wanted to move??? As my Dad would Say AnyWho, I want to personally thank everyone who came out to help us move, Kristine & I really do appreciate everyone's willingness to give up a Saturday to get wet and stinky just to help US.....Thanks Peep's..... So I do want to rant for just a short second or two though, A few weeks back when I posted that we were moving, I also sent an Email to our friends and Family, and as luck or should I say it would figure that all of our friends showed up to help, and for the most part all of our Family showed up also, Now with that being said, I totally understand that people are busy and don't always have the time, that's OK, but to just ignore my Email and not even reply with I am sorry but we have plans and cant help! I am going to respect anyone who at least can tell me that they maybe even don't feel like helping, but to NOT EVEN REPLY OR CALL OR ANYTHING to me is totally inexcusable. In today's environment with Cell phone, pagers, fax machines, Email, Blogs, Home answering machines, there is NO EXCUSE for not responding! I am sorry but the one thing in life that totally rubs me the wrong way is when people you call Family IGNORE a request for a favor! I think you know who you are. Grow up and grow a set buddy..... Again, THOSE OF YOU WHO HELPED AND WHO CALLED AND SAID YOU COULDN'T.....I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR CARING. ALL OF YOU ARE DA BOMB...... HAVE A HAPPY TUESDAY....

UNTILL THEN..............

HEY SAMMY, A LITTLE TRAVELIN' MUSIC PLEASE..(CLICK HERE) SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE......

IT'S THAT TIME

Ok Gang, Yes it is that time, we are down to roughly 11 day's. We are scheduled to move out of our Old house to our New house on Saturday January 21st. SO, We invite you (only those we know need apply) to come help us move, EVERYTHING will be boxed, NO LOOSE CRAP, those of you who helped us in moving my parents last time know the PURE HELLISH NIGHTMARE it was moving all the crap out of my fathers garage. So if interested PLEASE let us know, Krispy Kreme's and Pizza and Beer WILL BE PROVIDED! THE PAULSENS

Funny

Ok, I will admit though most of you who know me know I am a bit to the right on most issues, So it may not surprise you that I am and always have been a fan of Dennis Miller, Listed below are a few quote's I thought were funny.....

• And quit bringing up our forefathers and saying they were civil libertarians.Our founding fathers would have never tolerated any of this crap. For God's sake, they were blowing peoples' heads off because they put a tax on their breakfast beverage. And it wasn't even coffee.
• After seven years of marriage, I'm sure of two things -- first, never wallpaper together, and second, you'll need two bathrooms.. both for her. The rest is a mystery, but a mystery I love to be involved in.
• If Clinton had only attacked terrorism as much as he attacks George Bush we wouldn't be in this problem.

FIFTEEN

15 THIS IS THE NUMBER OF DAY'S LEFT IN OUR HOUSE UNTILL WE MOVE INTO OUR NEW HOUSE IN MOLALLA, YEEHAW COWBOY!!!!!!
