Barbeque at the US Senator's House

I went to a barbecue at US Senator Kit Bond's house today. It was so much fun. We talked about a number of issues, including the mortgage bailout and the North Korean situation. I also saw the Governor Candidates wife Renee' Hulshof. She is an eloquent speaker. She came up to me and asked where do I know you from? I reminded her we were at a dinner together 2 weeks ago in Warrenton MO. I am gearing up for the election in November and I am volunteering at the Vice Presidential Debate next Thursday. If you need tickets to the " Watch Party" at St Louis University's new basketball arena,let me know. Sarah Palen is going there after the debate to celebrate. Get out the Vote Kenny Hulshof for Governor and McCain/Palen President and Vice President............Peace,Love, and Respect....Tim Harper

Singing andPlaying Guitar

Hi, How's everyone? I spent the day writing songs & playing the guitar. I played last Saturday Night at RSC. I played "Ruby Tuesday" by the Rolling Stones. It was so much fun. I met some cool people, and had the time of my life.

So, since then I have been motivated. 1. To write more songs and develop the ones I've already written. 2. To have more fun. 3. Put myself out here, and jam more.

Today was my guitar lesson. and although I didn't get to do everything I wanted to do today, I did get alot accomplished. I dreamed and that's a heck of alot more than most people get to do.

Also I saw a friend who use to be volunteer staff with me years ago at the youth program, it was so cool! I have been exploring putting together an educational seminar, dealing with substance abuse, hope and recovery.

I hope everyone is OK. I have alot of stuff coming up in the near future ( like a trip to Boston 10/08-15/2008), my schedule is busy. I will make time for my friends though. Keep in touch. Take time to dream of good times. Stay hopeful. A Shout out to my newest friend, Charlie. Stay cool little man! .................Peace,Love and Respect........Tim H.

OK Gratitude

I think I'll take Clint' advice and just honor the day by being grateful. I think I'll call my brother and express my love and gratitude that he is still alive. Also some people wanted my E-Mail ponytailtim@gmail.com or bwaytim@yahoo.com
Peace, Love and Respect........

Never Forget

I haven't forgotten. I am still pissed off. On September 11, 2001 my older brother PJ was on the 46th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He was able to escape with his life. And he also was able to help a handicapped lady escape the South Tower, also almost 3000 Americans died that day.

I have and will continue to support our troops. You can run terrorists, but we will and we are, hunting these cowards down and bringing them to justice. We will not forget. When the terrorist brought the war to American soil, at first I was shocked, than I was relieved that my brother wasn't murdered, now I am just pissed off.

It seemed when I was growing up it was my job to kick any one's ass that messed with my brothers. Now I am supporting any candidate and piece of legistration that will protect our country, and bring these cowards to justice.

Also on TV today they showed TV footage from 9/11/01 and showed a**holes from other punk country's that danced in the street and just had a good laugh at Americans being killed. Well, we haven't forgot you guys either (just ask uday and quday and saddam hussain). We are coming for you osama bin laden. We won't forget...........Angry Rant from Tim

August 31,2008 History in the making

Wow, What a day.First, let me say,yesterday, I turned 50 years old and by 4pm I felt ever bit of 50.

I spent the day on "The McCain 08 staff" At the largest John McCain campaign event,in the USA. At O'Fallon Missouri, We had 23,000 people.

I was in charge of the VIP entrance. Luckily 37 years attending rock concerts prepared me for the task. I was out in 95 degree heat since 9am. At one point I had a megaphone and was welcoming people.

At 4 pm I went down. The heat got me. First my left calf started cramping and I tried to walk it off. Then my abdomen started cramping and I tried drinking more water. I went over to the shade to sit down, when it hit me. I fell on my side and I heard people yelling for help.

A Secret Service Agent came over and spoke into his cuff and called for EMS. A fire Fighter from Robertson Fire District got me to the cooling area poured water on me and started large fans with cool mist. Within 15 minutes. I was feeling better. I refused transport to the hospital. I drank some more water. I was on my feet again ( you can't keep a good man down ).

So I worked my way to the stage just as the event started. I sat with the VIP's. I was able to talk and shake hands with the candidates and their family's, John and Cindy McCain, Cindy had a hot pink short arm cast on her right wrist.I met two of their daughters,Meghan and Bridget McCain.The other McCain children that weren't there are Doug, Andy, Sidney, Jack (who just graduated from the Naval Academy), Jimmy ( who's a Marine that served a tour of duty in Iraq). I met Sarah Palin and her husband Todd and two of her daughters Willow 14 and Pieper 7 and little Pieper Palin was so cute. I asked her for her autograph. She signed a poster and said don't sell it on EBay. The other Palin children are Track 19 ( who leaves for a tour of duty in Iraq with the US Army Infantry on September 11,2008 ), Bristol and her fiance' Levi Johnson (cool name) and the baby Trig 4 months old ( his name means Truth and Strength). Also I met Mit Romney and Mike and Janet Huckabee. Mike Huckabee and I talked about my heat stroke and how it's hotter in Arkansas. I won't be going to Arkansas any time soon. John McCain wished me a happy birthday and stated I am just a youngster.

I had some friends attend and I got them in VIP. Megan and Bruce Quinlin, I got pictures of them with all the candidates and politicians. I also gave them the poster with every one's autographs, two of John McCain's daughters, 2 of Sarah Palin's daughters, John & Cindy, Sarah & Todd, Mike & Janet, Mit Romney,and Missouri Senator Kit Bond. I also got them hats and buttons and t-shirts. We all had so much fun.

I then went home and had a barbecue with Brenda , and David and his beautiful girlfriend Kari came out to celebrate. I talked to several people on the phone wishing me happy birthday. I checked my e-mails and there were a bunch of well wishers on there.

Well it's "all icing on the cake now". I survived a half century. I am happy joyous and free. I have the best family, I have relationships with my extended family, I have many friends, ( in high and low places), I am involved in my community. I am an elected public official ( Missouri Republican Delegate), I have the greatest wife, and I have good health ( although I push myself too hard some times).

Thank you all for my birthday wishes. Thank you to all my friends that read my blog, Please leave more comments. Keep in touch.........

Peace, Love, and Respect......... .....Tim
