It’s Christmas Eve. This means a few things. Some of you are the happiest that you have been all year. Some of you are the most miserable that you have been all year. Some of you are right in the middle. Me? I’m good. I am laying in bed right now next to the most [...]

Three Kids. Three Fingers. Three Words.

Posted on 02. Nov, 2011 by loswhit in Family, Tattoo/Ink

The first 2 were easy. Losiah is favored. He just is. Not favorite. Just favored. The kid touches things and it turns to gold. The kid walks by 23 year old women and they immediately get weak in the knees. He cries and everyone wants to watch. He screams and everyone wants to watch. Seanna [...]

Halloween 2011

Posted on 01. Nov, 2011 by loswhit in Amigos, Family

We had Angelica from the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. A salsa dancer. A little monster. A clown. A sexy Mexican. I mean a wrestler. And lots of fun with friends. And I’m locking Sohaila in the house until she is 44. Dear Lord protect the boys that enter her life from my wrath. [...]

Fall, Camping, and a Pocket Full Of Nuts

Posted on 01. Oct, 2011 by loswhit in Family

It’s fall.  In California you camp in the summer.  The mountains are higher and the weather is cooler.  You can’t pull this off in the south.  I took Sohaila camping a few weeks ago and literally felt as if my face was going to melt off my head at 2am.  We were 5 minutes away [...]

I Hate Your Cat

Posted on 15. Sep, 2011 by loswhit in Family

I don’t like cats. This is our cat. Well I guess it is a kitten. I love this cat. My wife named our cat Riggins. Not because she loves out cat, but because she loves this guy… But I love that guy too. So it’s ok. Our kitten is possessed by something not heavenly. It [...]
