The Gentry Royals: March 2008
http://jcgentrysmind.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 12, 2008. The lesser of two weevils. Anyone else getting sick of hearing about Hillary or Obama. I'm very interested in this presidential race, and if the primaries are any indication, so is the public. That being said, I'm sort of disenchanted by the rivalry between Hillary and Obama. I've been paying close attention to the candidates, both republican and democrat. Ron Paul is an idiot. Most people would agree that he's pretty much the Ross Peroe. They'd all agree with you. She complain...

The Gentry Royals: February 2008
http://jcgentrysmind.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2008. We live in a seriously scary world ladies and gentlemen. I have to be completely honest, my faith in the system, that we are in fact "the good guys", has really been shaken to the core. In many ways the saying "ignorance is bliss" is absolutely accurate. When I first heard about the scandals, I can remember saying to myself 'Well, sometimes things like that are necessary". But after hearing about it so much lately, I started delving a little deeper to learn more about it.

The Gentry Royals: Lauren Nicole
http://jcgentrysmind.blogspot.com/2010/03/lauren-nicole.html
Sunday, March 7, 2010. My big sister is coming to visit soon, bringing my niece and nephew and bro-in-law Brett. I'm really excited to see them! Just thought I'd take the time to put to words why my sister is special to me. There are many things to admire in my sister. Things I've always been proud of; she's extremely strong, both mentally and physically. I have a lot of tendencies that I'd consider weaknesses, and I really wish I could have gotten some of Lauro's. Its funny, I didn't know what it'd be l...

The Gentry Royals: Yard Work Reflection
http://jcgentrysmind.blogspot.com/2010/04/yard-work-reflection.html
Thursday, April 15, 2010. I spent several hours today weeding the front yard. I'm not sure what contractor our builder hired to bring in the sod, but all of the houses that were built at the same time on our street have absolutely atrocious. Weed problems, where as newly built houses all have nice weed free lawns. So, after procrastinating several weekends past responsibility, I decided to use my free time productively and clean up the eye sore that was my front lawn. To ponder. We all have different...

The Gentry Royals: Mothers Day
http://jcgentrysmind.blogspot.com/2010/05/mothers-day.html
Saturday, May 8, 2010. Carla Joann Rodgers was born July 16 th. I can't even imagine my mother as a teenager. LOL. I know she was one, because she did occasionally mention that she thought "The Monkees. Were the cats pajamas, and probably had all the same kinds of things on her bedroom wall as the girls of today. Everytime. I see my mom and dad's wedding photo, I'm really shocked. Its sort of an uncomfortable moment when as a teenaged. I wish I could have borrowed Micheal J. Fox's Delorean. Usually get t...

The Gentry Royals: January 2010
http://jcgentrysmind.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. The Buddha told a story to his monks:. One day his real son managed to escape from the bandits and found his way back to his old home. His father had rebuilt the house. When he arrived late one night, and knocked on the door, his father called 'Who is there? It is I, your son. Please let me in.'. The father, still carrying the ashes and hopelessly sad, thought this must be some wretched boy making fun of him and he shouted, 'Go away! Stress and a series of unrelated events have ...

The Gentry Royals: An unconventional solution for an unconventional war.
http://jcgentrysmind.blogspot.com/2010/01/unconventional-solution-for.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. An unconventional solution for an unconventional war. Right, it's taken me a while to solve this whole Afghanistan war issue. It seems that in the day and age of the iphone, bionic prothstetics, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (aka gender selection for your unborn child, only $3995.00 on top of IVF fees), we are going about the war in the wrong way. Ugh, I probably shouldn't have eaten so much for lunch. I'm gonna hit the gym after work. Who do they think they are? America...

The Gentry Royals: April 2008
http://jcgentrysmind.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 13, 2008. My free vacation to Florida. Many things in life never quite deliver what they promise. For nearly a year now Leanna and I have had orders to Hawaii and we've spent a considerable amount of time and effort trying to plan for this move. I worried endlessly about what would happen if I ended up disqualified because of my hypertension or my acid reflux (both well controlled with meds. Would you believe that surprisingly most of these kids love me? The weekends have been really wonder...

The Gentry Royals: September 2009
http://jcgentrysmind.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 5, 2009. Just drop suddenly all over the country? I can remember thinking that when J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series took the world by storm. Why the hell are adults raving and raving about this series? Isn't it centered around the life of an 11 year old boy? Someone, jokingly, casts furtive glances around the room and says "Big Brother is watching you". If you hadn't read George Orwell's "1984", you'd just think he was a nut. So I made a deal, I read her precious Twilight, she wo...
