Rest In Peace Lynx - Jay Rodriguez

A year ago today I lost my best pal Lynx due to kidney failure, I know many of you may say “Oh Boy, Get over it!” But that’s not the case. The main reason I still carry this on my shoulder is because Lynx was not only my best pal, he was like one of my children. Everyday, every morning Lynx made sure I had his attention and he had my attention as well. Lynx was not your ordinary cat, he was one to hold a conversation with anyone who was willing and dedicated to speaking and listening to him.
Lynx gave love to everyone who walked in the door. Human or Animal Lynx was there to share his expertise in love giving.

Last year I went on vacation when all of a sudden he got sick on me. For 10 days straight we went from one expert vet to another, we got nowhere, Same results and no good news. Our final stop was to a specialist local in our area. Lynx lasted 3 days with them. With the best of care every hour, every minute, every day this special team of vets ran tests and couldn’t come up with any solution to save Lynx and that’s where I got the suggestive bad news. I had no other choice, he was suffering and I was suffering. He was in pain and I was crushed inside wishing I was in some third-world country where they would build him an iron lung that’ll help him live at least 10 more years. After my family and I agreed to the choice we gave our final “Good-byes”. We took it in harder then we thought!

Lynx, you will always been in our hearts!

Lynx was my sunshine!
I miss you and I love you Lynx!
I refuse to say goodbye… so I’m going to say see ya later my friend!
Hugs and Kisses <3

RAINBOW BRIDGE POEM
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.  When a pet dies – one that’s been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.  There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.  There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable, fear and worry free.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and the vigor of youth.  Those who were abused, hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again just as we want to remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them – someone who had to be left behind.  That someone who was kind, gentle and loving.  That someone who took the extra step, stayed the extra minute, reached out and touched with love, even once.
The animals all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.  His bright eyes are intent, his eager body quivers.  Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.  The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look into the big, trusting eyes of your special love, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together. . . . . . . . . . . . .

burned_out_car Hey guys, sorry for not being my normal self on FB and twitter. I have just reach a level that I must pay attention to at this moment!

For the past couple years I have been working hard like a mule. Meetings, deadlines, making things right and trying to give my family the best I can offer. It’s been over 3 years since I seen a real vacation or experienced a proper rest. I haven’t paid any attention to myself or my health in years. I am functioning well but I know it can be worse if I don’t take some dedicated time for myself and rest!

Earlier in the week I announced the deactivation of my Facebook account temporarily. Yeah things got pretty busy and messy in there that it reached a personal level, so I decided to take some time away from social networking/twittering and focus on what I need to do and what else can be done! I will be on here blogging everyday and you’ll see the updates on twitter @urbangrafix, considering my RSS feed is also connected to twitter so all this is basically updated on its own. *takes deep breath*

I burned out guys, I need to rest and I will continue on with my goal to success in a couple weeks. At the moment I am working on shutting things down and making sure that everything is taken care of in the office. there after, starting on the 20th I will be resting and taking care of things that I’ve put aside for a while.

I’m always here, just drop me a comment and/or catch me  on aim!

27xe0lf Last night our President of the United States of America was on the Jay Leno Show making a guest appearance for the nightly fans of the popular talk show.

President Obama shared a half hour with us live on T.V. giving us the up to date scoop on the economy and the future he has planned for us all. During his talk, the President also showed his friendly side. Sharing his humor and family oriented thoughts on raising his children, making sure his family is happy and best of all stressing his goal in improving America?s way on Education, The Work Force and Energy.

I know that this kind of talk by our leader is expected when he is talking in public, but I am one that has to say I am proud to finally have someone in office that has a big focus on these issues. It?s been a while since I heard someone stress about the improvement of education. Last I remember education is where it all begins! (more…)
