The Continuing Adventures of Snake and The Evil One
Happy Latvian Independence Day! Do you think that they have cook-outs and shoot off fireworks? They probably eat turnips and throw rocks at each other. Also, birthday wishes to heavy metal guitar legend, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, who was born 44 years ago today in San Francisco, CA.
When children are small they dream of what they want to be when they grow up. For example, I had thoughts of being a doctor and a professional baseball player. Now for some, these dreams are feasible and others are just childhood hope. With me, being a doctor was not out of the realm of possibilities, except for all of the schooling that I do not think I could ever complete. Also, playing professional ball was completely out of the question since I couldn’t throw that well and loved to back out of the batters box so as not to get plunked by an errant pitch. My two little nephews, Snake and The Evil One have similar dreams.
Now four year old Evil One has a lofty goal. When he grows up he dreams of becoming a dump truck. No, not a dump truck driver, but a full fledged dump truck. His older brother, Snake, being the voice of reason has tried on numerous occasions to let him know that someone cannot actually become a truck; however, little Mr. Evil One is not hearing any of it. I do feel it to be a tad bit hilarious, though, that the older, worldlier Snake has a more realistic goal. When he grows up he plans on attending the Jedi School so that he may fight the forces of the Dark Side. Hopefully he will do his best because as Yoda always says, “Do, or do not, there is no try!”
