Fighter

The Hawks' season came to an end after 4 blow out losses to the Orlando Magic. I don't mind that the Hawks lost because Orlando was the better team, but I'm most disappointed that the Hawks showed no effort in the losses. Again, I don't care that they lost - but the guys need to show that they care about the game, they are professional athletes! Show some fight!

I attended Sam's graduation today. The commencement speaker was Arnold Schwarzenegger! Whether you agree or disagree with his political views, his message was clear - that anything is possible. The best part was that he did all his famous lines from his most popular movies - fantastic! Great stuff!

Good Stuff

Last week I spoke at the Galloway School for about 45 5th graders that were doing a project about inclusive schools. It was quite rewarding to look back on my past and tell them about some of the challenges that I went through. I always look forward to the questions kids have for me because they have some amazing and very thorough questions. We are working on the video of a speech I did in April that will be up on my website very soon. We are planning a summer vacation and a canoe trip - both should be a lot of fun. More to come later!

Hugs and hand pounds

Speech

I am looking forward to speaking tomorrow at the Galloway School. I'm working with a 5th grade class on how to make a school inclusive/accessible. I'm really prepared and can't wait to hear some of the questions they have for me. I will keep you posted on the outcome!

Best of luck to the Hawks and Braves, as they both have big games coming up!

Big Ups!!!

Wavin' Flag

Good morning blogger nation. In a few minutes I will introduce you to one of my staff Hartford. But i heard a song, and its very inspiring to me. Its called Wavin Flag. By khanan. One of my new favorite artist that Sam and I saw a few weeks ago. It speaks to me and it says you can beat me up, you can beat me down, but my flag is still waving. Its an incredible song and the official song of the 2010 world cup. Yes John David, I know what the world cup is. So be a waving flag today. And keep on waving in a positive atmosphere. Life is a gift. Love it. In some other events in team Kpeasey, we are going canoeing in late May. And then we're going to....
Its that time again to introduce you to one of my staff. Hartford Beasley Campbell, the quiet giant.
Q. How did you meet Kyle?
I met kyle on a slow Sunday afternoon in late July. Jk. I met kyle about six months ago when my girlfriend Rachel saw an ad in downtown decatur. Before I knew it she had dialed kyle and the phone was in my hand. Call it fate or call it con incidence, but that was the beginning. Rachel is now my fiance and kyle and I are now good friends.
Q. What is the greatest time you ever had with Kyle?
Wow. Kind of a tough question because we've had so many, but uh. I'd have to say the family gatherings and hockey games are in a close first, plus all the other wild spontaneous shit we do. It's all usually a great time. Of course theres ebbs and flows, but that comes with being human.
Q. How would you describe Kyle's family?
Hmmm. With words? are you kidding? haha No. Kyle's family is one of a kind. Priceless, for lack of better words. Even though I know they're not for sell. Dick is classy and hilarious, Janis is practical and kind. The bro's are steady like rocks as far as I can tell. Add kyle and you've got one hell of a family.
Q. Who all have you met with Kyle?
Well, besides loads of people I'll never remember we did get to meet the voice of the Hawks, so that was pretty cool. We've met lots of Kyle's friends over the time we've been together. That's mainly it as far as I can tell.
Q. What have you learned from Kyle?
Well, I've learned humility, appreciation, and gratitude, which are all closely related. All the same family so to speak. Another thing I've learned from kyle is to have fun. There's a time to dance so to speak. To laugh and have a good time. There's also a time to be serious and concentrate. Kyle does a good job of balancing these two things out real well. Lots of people don't these days, including me sometimes, so this was good to learn.

Deep Thought

For those of you that read this blog I appreciate it. I'm gonna use this space to write what I feel right now. First of all, I believe that we all have a gift and it's up to us whether we open that gift. So I ask you and I challenge you, did you open your gift today? I'm not perfect, nobody's perfect, but take a minute and think about how you treat people. Just be you. Don't try to be anyone that your not. For example, my boy Jason Hayward. What an incredible young man. He's him. For him. That's whats up. I just ask everybody to appreciate what they have and don't take anything for granted. This blog is very random today. I just have a lot on my mind. And I hope each and every one of you keeps their heads up, and keep fighting the fight, and grinding the grind. And never, and I mean never Give Up. Keep on keeping on. Pease
