I know I know. The suiside rate in America has jumped 23 percent this week. I didn't mean to cause that by not posting a blog last week. If everybody could just form a straight line and stay calm, maybe this one will make up for it. Or it could cause an even bigger rise in self-inflicted fatality.

An unbelievable week! I won't emphasize too much on the birth of Evelyn Faith McNutt as I'm sure Sadie would love to tell you about MY NIECE.

There are moments in life that take your breath away. Literally. And make you start crying. When I was at work and got a message from my dad that Evelyn Faith was born I had to go outside and use my 15 minute break because I was tearing up. There could not be two people more deserving or more gratuidous than Sade and Wadie. I hope than in my life I find that happiness.


“Birth is the sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect. For what has happened? A miracle. You have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything.”
William MacNeile Dixon

I robbed you of a quote last week and shall provide the necessary reimbursment. A DOUBLE SUNDAY FUNDAY BOAT QUOTE!!

Ok put your tops back on.

"My only hope is that sacrifice pays interest."- Brad Hadley

Untill next week,

I love all of you.

SELECTION SUNDAY!!! Notre Dame with a 6 seed! Thank God because 7's and 5's go down oh so often. K. If you are not a college basketball fan, I would suggest picking up "some old paper back books of Louis L'Amour."- Hayes Carll. No that's not the quote calm down people. But you should stop reading. So a guy I go to school with believed the hype that Texas was gonna join the Big 10 because, and I qoute, "The Big 12 is a dead conference." We placed seven in the Big Dance. Although I hate Kansas, I'm almost convinced that they got the NO. 1 overall seed. And who was in the NCAA football championship this year? Oh TEXAS! The only conference to put more teams in The Dance was the Big East- Notre Dame.

I understand that this is not nearly as important to those who read my blog as it is to me, but I told you it would be random.

This Tourney has a great amount of things to look foreward to. New Mexico Lobos are a number three seed and I think they could go to the Elite 8. Seven teams for the Dirty 12. Duke a NO. 1 seed again. The Irish are a 6 seed. Jeremy and Randy coluld see their purple go to the Final Four (K-State). And if you don't want to watch the guys, you will enjoy the UConn girls. 72 game winning streak. Against top 10 teams, margin of victory is 26.3. The UConn girls are the best team in sports history. I welcome any arguments.

As we await the madness of March I felt Shakespeare would be in order.

"Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't.". - William Shakespeare

What's the method here Billy? I'm tellin' you the Big Dance is straight MADNESS!!!

HERE COME THE IRISH

Spring Break!!!!!

Well I don't have a lot of time as I am about to venture off to BWW for a beer with some work people. So just a quick funny Sunday Funday Boat Quote from one of the greatest thinkers of all time.

A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer. - Mitch Hedberg

Man I wish he wouldn't have died.

Well I'm out of here but I'll probably post a blog sometime this week since there is no school.

Adios
Brad

Goals

Oh what a day!!!!!!!! Oh what a sweet day. Today I took my state exam and pack test to become certified in wildland firefighting. First of all, I have been leaning toward fighting wildfires as a career. Today confirmed it. I knew I would love it and I did. Working 16 hours a day to keep people safe from fire and see beautiful scenery while in the process? Yeah I'll take it. God has been pulling me in this direction and man I can't tell you how awesome it is to finally find something that just calls to you.

So to explain the pack test, HARD. 3 miles in 45 minutes. Now strap 45 pounds to your back. Its a lot more weight than you might think. It's more than 44! You have to walk at a rate that is as fast as jogging but you are not allowed to jog. One poor guy came in at 45:52. No Cert For You!!!

So I KNOW you are just dying with anticipation for the Sunday Funday Boat Quote. Or maybe saying DAMMIT another Sunday Funday Boat Quote. Well either way here goes..........

When you arrive at a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra

Many more Yogi Berra qoutes to come. When you come to a fork in your life, you won't always be able to see exactly which road to take. The point is to pray first and then go with your gut. Faith. I am at a point where I have a lot of different opportunities to engage. So I am at a fork in the road. And I am going to take it!

Sunday Funday Boat Quote

YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!
Another Sunday Funday Boat Quote!!!
This one hits me very deep and some people know why. I also think that those people will think that the latter part of this qoute is pretty funny when they think about me.

When you have been wronged, a poor memory is the best response. - Anonymous

It takes a long time to forgive, but a longer time to forget. In some cases you will NEVER forget. But you have to learn to try to let it go and just LIVE. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. To forget what they have done to you may be the hardest thing for a human being to do, but it just may be one of the most important.

So I promised a quote every Sunday. Some qoutes will be funny, some serious, some both. But I came across this one and thought that it would be good for the first Sunday Funday Boat Quote.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. - Oscar Wilde

Live people!!! That is all, thank you.

So first blog! I waited a while to do this because my sister and mother created blogs recently and they are friggiin great! I'll send you the links when I become computer litterate. 2012. My first blog is in reference to the title of my blog, Random thoughts on becoming a better person. Its no secret to anybody that knows me that I like to have fun and live life to the absolute fullest. But this is about D.O.G.T.E.D. Do One Great Thing Every Day. This doesn't mean that you need to adopt a Samalian baby or give a billion dollars to the the homeless guy on the corner. But you could buy him a double quarter pounder. The concept of D.O.G.T.E.D. is not to become a great person in one day but to make a reasonable plan to fulfill your duty as a Christian. Just do one thing a day to make a difference. Sometimes that requires very litte and it is a very attainable goal. Just go out tommorow and do one great thing. It doesn't matter what it is but I would love to hear the great things you do tommorow.

In my blog there will will be a ton of random thoughts, quotes and feelings. I will give a random quote every Sunday, some of my own and some of others.

I hope you will enjoy this blog and just expect to read very random blogs
