Alpha males dont take roids to fake look stacked and healthy. Alpha males don't get in fights at bars to prove how tough they are. Alpha males don't wear makeup, hammer their own face and pay "attractive" women to be around them. Alpha males marry and love one woman. Spend time with their kids. Alpha males run towards gunfire to save kids. Strive to be like this Alpha, not the Beta male "influencers".

I’m going to get a cardiac test before the next @Seahawks game. The team and 12s won it tonight. Hard to imagine a better roller coaster

This is my wife Jessica having dinner after a 14 hour day.
She comes home from work, has enough time to eat and get ready for bed and it’s back to work the next day for another shift. She is up early to get ready for her day. She doesn’t like to be bothered in the morning and I respect that. She showers throws her hair up, grabs her lunch gives the dog and me a kiss, and heads out the door.
At work, she takes care of people who are having the worst days of their lives. Strokes, Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, falls, breaks, brain damage, and more. She takes care of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends, and families. It doesn’t matter who you are or what happened. She will take care of you.
She works through lunch and rarely has time to sit. She comes home after 14 hours, takes off her shoes that have walked through blood and tears, and just wants to sit down. I don’t ask her about her day because She doesn’t like to talk about work when she is home and that’s fine.
If she does want to talk, I will listen. Sometimes she comes home happy and sometimes she comes home sad. But no matter how she feels, she is always on time for her next shift.
I love her with all my heart. My wife is my hero. My wife is a Stroke Nurse.

في عام 1979، تبنّى تسع فتيات صغيرات من البشرة السمراء لم يرغب بهن أحد: وما أصبحت عليه حياتهن بعد 46 عامًا سينتزع منك الذهول...
انهار عالم "ريتشارد ميلر" في عام 1979 عندما توفيت زوجته "آن". وأصبح بيتهما، الذي كان ممتلئًا بأحلام الأطفال، فارغًا. نصحه أصدقاؤه بالزواج مرة أخرى، لكنه ظل أوفى ما يكون لآخر كلمات "آن":
«لا تدع الحب يموت معي. أمنحه مكانًا آخر ليعيش فيه.»
في ليلة ممطرة وعاصفة، قاده القدر إلى دار "سانت ماري" للأيتام. وهناك اكتشف تسع فتيات صغيرات، تُركن جميعًا معًا، وكان بكاؤهن يتردد في الممرات. لم يرغب أحد في تبنيهن جميعًا، وكانت التفرقة بينهن تبدو أمرًا لا مفر منه.
لكن ريتشارد جثا على ركبتيه، وبصوت مرتجف همس:
«سآخذهن جميعًا. كل واحدة منهن.»
ظنه العالم مجنونًا، وشكك الأخصائيون الاجتماعيون في قدرته، وسخرت منه عائلته، بينما كان الجيران يتهامسون:
«ما الذي سيفعله رجل أبيض مع تسع فتيات صغيرات سمراوات؟»
رغم ذلك، باع ريتشارد ممتلكاته، وعمل ليلاً ونهارًا، وصنع تسعة أسرة صغيرة بيديه . تحولت الليالي إلى زجاجات حليب، وأغنيات نوم، وضفائر شعر يُعدها تحت أضواء المطبخ. كانت الصعاب جمة، لكن الضحكات، وحكايات "آن"، وشخصيات الفتيات اللاتي يكبُرن يومًا بعد يوم، نسجت عائلة لا تُقهر.
كانت هناك ضحكة "سارة" المعدية، ودهاء "ناومي"، ورقة "لِيا"... واحدة تلو الأخرى، أصبحن نساءً ناجحات — معلمات، وممرضات، وأمهات — ولم ينسين أبدًا الرجل الذي اختارهن.
واليوم، في عام 2025، ينظر ريتشارد إلى بناته المشرقات وهن مجتمعات حول الطاولة، ويرى المعجزة التي طالما تمنتها "آن".
تذكرنا قصة ريتشارد بقوة الحب، الحب الذي يتجاوز الاختلافات، ويدمل الجراح، ويغير الحياة إلى الأبد ❤️

🚨HERO: Emma Schols ran back into a burning house burning 93 % of her body to rescue all six of her kids.
She was on a ventilator for weeks. Doctors said people rarely survive burns that extensive. When she woke up, the first thing she asked was whether her children were alive.

My wife & I created a trust & our will this week.
We got asked a question that made me FREAKING ANGRY & flabbergasted.......
"Do you want your two adopted sons to EQUALLY INHERIT your land & assets or your biological daughter would get it all or more?"
WHAT?!?! What?!?!
OUR 3 CHILDREN WILL EQUALLY inherit 1/3 of our assets. Obviously.
Our lawyer said she needed to ask because it's somewhat common for adopted kids to not get as much.......
I'm just gonna say this,
If you adopt children & don't treat them AS YOUR CHILDREN then you shouldn't be allowed to adopt children.
My sons are MY SONS.
I love them with everything I have.
I love all my children with everything I have.
Blew me away & also made me incredibly sad......

How dare you use this day meant to celebrate girls and women’s sports when I have been asking you for a meeting for almost a year now. I have wanted to discuss my feelings as a 16 year old girl, who will not accept having boys play in my sports, and be present in my bathrooms and locker rooms. At this point, I have no other option than to believe that the governor of Washington state is gaslighting, and making a mockery out young girls such as myself, who are standing up to protect ourselves, fairness in sports, and our safety in private spaces. I wish your daughter all the best in her softball career. However, I feel very sorry for her that she doesn’t know what it feels like to have a dad that would protect her if what happened to me, happened to her. Seeing this post only makes me believe that what I’ve said by calling you gutless is more true today than ever. By the way… I still invite you to come sit with me face to face. Either way, you have not fooled the American people, or the voters of Washington state. They will show up in November, putting your woke gender ideology in its place once and for all, and beat you at your own game. Invitation stands... Ball is in your court.

My friend took his life Saturday. He was 31. Had a career he was proud of, a wife who loved him, two kids who needed him. From the outside, he had it all. From the inside, he was drowning and none of us saw it.
That's the part that keeps me up at night. We were friends. We talked. We laughed. He knew what I do for people who are suicidal and somehow, the thing that was killing him stayed hidden behind all of that.
Men are raised to be the rock. The provider. The one who holds it together no matter what. So we learn to swallow the pain, to smile through the cracks, to carry everything alone until the weight finally wins.
If you're a man reading this and you're struggling please, please ask for help. Not because you're weak. Because you're human. Because the people who love you would rather hear the hard truth than lose you to a silence they never knew existed.
And if you're a friend of a man, really check in. Not the casual "how are you." The real "what's going on with you brother." Sometimes the strongest ones are the ones falling the hardest, and they won't say a word until someone asks.
I wish I had asked him. I wish I had known. I wish I had said something. We talked for 30 minutes on Wednesday and I keep going over in my head what I missed. Miss you and love you brother 💔

Happy 75th Dad!
Today I'm remembering your weirdness and your extraordinary capacity to love.
And for the folks out there who'd like to celebrate with me, go do something kind for someone. Make someone laugh. Put a little more good into the world.
Love you forever.

One of my favorite plays throughout my career happened in 2014… and I wasn’t even the quarterback on the field.
I was the backup at the time, and a lot of my evenings were spent sitting in Coach Leach’s side office watching film and preparing for the upcoming opponent.
That week we were playing Cal, and while watching tape I noticed a look in their coverage that I thought we could attack with a certain concept. I mentioned it to Coach Mele and he then passed it along to Coach Leach.
To my surprise… the play made it into our condensed game plan for the week.
During the game, I noticed Cal giving us the exact coverage we had talked about. I got on the headset and told the coaches upstairs we needed to get to that play.
The next drive, Connor Halliday hit River Cracraft for an 86-yard touchdown.
My play suggestion.
Sure, I didn’t throw the touchdown or get the spotlight.
But I got something better… trust from my coaches.
It was one of my first “play calls” or audibles… one of the first moments that eventually turned into hundreds throughout my career.
And looking back now, I’m reminded that being a good steward of my current role at the time led to more trust, more responsibility, and more opportunities throughout my career.
So if you aren’t currently in the position you desire… that doesn’t mean you can’t still add value.
You can still contribute, prepare, and start earning the trust of those around you while positioning yourself for bigger moments ahead.

Very rarely does a cover give the original artist a run for their money. This young lady right here is doing just that. Amazing voice.

Most people who watched that episode of Friends never noticed it-and honestly, I didn't either the first time.
Season 8, Episode 13. Just another night, familiar faces, a few good laughs. But in the background, almost easy to miss, Joey is wearing an FDNY shirt. Printed across it:
Captain Billy Burke.
Just a name on a shirt... until you realize it isn't.
Captain William Burke led Engine 21 in Midtown Manhattan. On September 11, 2001, when everything changed, he did what firefighters do—he showed up. He ran straight toward the danger, into the smoke and chaos most of us can't even imagine.
And when the moment came to leave, he stayed.
He stayed behind in the North Tower with injured civilians, making sure others could get out. That part hits me the hardest.
Because that wasn't just duty-that was a choice. A human moment where he put others ahead of himself, knowing full well what it might cost.
It's strange how something so small—a shirt in the background of a sitcom-can carry something so heavy. You watch a show for laughs, for comfort, and there it is... a quiet reminder of real courage, real sacrifice.
I think about how many names like his we've never heard. How many stories live just beneath the surtace, waiting for someone to notice.
I won't miss it again.
Captain Billy Burke.
A name worth remembering. 💛

Her dying wish was to see Keith Urban perform one last time. But her health prevented her from getting to the concert. So Keith Urban came to her... This melts my heart 🥹❤️

This is nearly exactly how the vibe of CBGBs felt when I saw the Ramones there a few years later.
When the aroma is mastered by AI the circle will be complete.
