Funny how life rolls. Last Friday when we were at the Dunkin’ doughnuts “Live show” a woman came up to Lisa and handed her flowers \u2014 never said a word to me then talked to Lisa about her son taking his own life; I listened to her while she never acknowledged that I was sitting there. The funny thing is I was in a ward days before with someone very close that tried to take their life. But I’m the fun guy on the show \u2014 I don’t have the Rep for the “Heartfelt stuff”.<\/p>\n

The other day on Facebook someone comments on one of my photos, “You look tired” and I thought shut the hell up. Then I thought you know what? “I am tired”! Let me give you some background on how a guy can be “Tired”.<\/p>\n

Sunday night I was out until 1 am,\u00a0 as I stated earlier I have someone who is struggling, this person has repeatedly lied to me and my family, but you don’t turn your back because this person needs serious help.<\/p>\n

Then up at 3:30 to do the show. Then home by 11:00 to let the dogs out, then head over to my ex wife’s house to work on her house and help her all afternoon, then baseball.<\/p>\n

All that tied in with the fact that I travel up North every weekend to slowly say goodbye to my dad. His Alzheimer’s is progressing fast and it’s like he’s dying in front of me. That’s one I have come to grips with, and every week I slowly let him go.<\/p>\n

I’m blessed with an ex-wife,\u00a0who is the mother of my kids, I will help her whenever she needs me. She’s the reason my kids are awesome. And I don’t talk about my divorce because US99.5 listeners don’t need to hear it. It’s over, she’s fine, I’m fine, my kids see me every day and know that whenever Gina needs me I will always be there.<\/p>\n

I’m also in the midst of someone very close in the fight of her life battling cancer.<\/p>\n

Oh and did I tell you I’m also managing my daughters singing career, I don’t want to hear about busy working moms, or single parents or anything else.<\/p>\n

So to the person that looked past me talking about the storms of life, you’re \u00a0not alone. Don’t exclude people because you never know where help may come from. To the woman who said I look tired, O=one: I’m entitled, but perhaps (and I need to practice this too) think before you speak because things are never what they seem.<\/p>\n

Oh and by the way I look damn good! And I’m glad I can offer help to all those that need me, In this life you give what you get. I have been given a lot!<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend.<\/p>\n
