Left: Nico, Captain Imperfecto and Christopher 

May 10th, 2013


The adventures of children always have as contributing cause. I guess that’s one of the reasons I call myself Captain Imperfecto. I mean if it weren’t for my actions I could probably prevent just 1/3 of my boys’ mischief. Which in hindsight isn’t a whole lot but it’s a start.

My boys have recently been fighting over the iPad. For a time it was just my oldest sons Nico (5) with exclusive rights to all its fun and games. But now with Christopher, the youngest (3) becoming more tech savvy he wants more time with the iconic device.

I decided that I would delve into my my safe and dig out my old iPhone G3. Yes, I made up my mind to give one of the boys the small hand held device loaded with games. The thinking is that there would be less confrontation with this new toy and they would both be happy.

The first thing I do is hook up the iPhone to my computer, bug mistake. iTunes locked my phone because it wasn’t recognized! What? All my data saved to the phone: old texts, pictures, documents that are mine is locked out?

I own that- I thought.

I took the iPhone to a local iPhone repair dealer who in-turn brought it to the back of his store. Using complicated machinery he fixed the iPhone. His skill and knowledge of plugging in a USB port into the bottom of the phone and using a simple program to enable him access to my phone allowed me to obtain my old data. It was brilliant!

Once I had access to my phone I started to up load new apps for the boys. I grabbed my credit card added an App Store account. Well, my boys being boys and getting into things were creating havoc in their bedroom .Quickly, I placed the credit card on the table and put the iPhone high up on the refrigerator for safe keeping.

My sons had made a sheet cave in their room. For structural reasons I had to venture inside their labyrinth to make sure it was safe for them. I weaved in and out from one scary section to another while my boys hooted and hollered trying their best to thwart me advances until finally I found myself all alone.

“Hello,” I announce from underneath the colored sheets, “guys?”

I work my way out from under the sheets. Pulling the tied ends inwards as if the entire camp just imploded. I started to venture my way to the living room when I noticed the boys were outside enjoying the fresh air. I guess the lavender Era detergent was enough for one DAY.

Well, good time for me to relax – I said within myself as I sat on my favorite dark brown, leather chair.

My eyes wondered from the vivid colors of the television screen across the room to the top of the refrigerator. And then I noticed the iPhone was gone. I frantically jumped from the comfort of my seat. The foot rest slamming back into place.

“Shit, the iPhone is gone”

My adrenaline was pumping through my veins. I didn’t want to lose the iPhone because I hadn’t taken all the personal information that was dear to me off the memory yet. Damn, those boys were quick. It must have been the shiny orange safety case I applied to it that brought it to their attention.

I looked through the blind of the back room that peers out into the backyard. I could see their hands. “No iPhone, damn.”

A search of the house turned up negative. Not under the bed or in the bathroom, inside a closest or behind a door. I even checked the toy box they never used. Empty. Literally and figuratively.

Resigned to the fact that the house monster ate my newly fixed iPhone, I sat down feelingly gloomy and down. “What else could happen?”

At the same time I was resigning myself to my fate, with a quick glance to my left, I noticed my credit card was missing from the table where I placed after I entered the number into the App Store. “DAMN!”

I knew there was no way I would find the credit card after not being able to find the iPhone. The pain in the ass of it is I had just got the credit card after thinking I lost my wallet a few weeks back. Turns out that my kids hid my wallet as well which I found floating out from the gate area as I cleaned my boat. I had already canceled all the credit cards and obtained a new drivers license so finding it was moot.

Five days went by and I decided that  I would have cancel the credit card and obtain a new one. What a hassel. Was there gonna be any good news today.

[knock, knock]

As soon as I said that I heard the knock.

Come with Me

You are here: Home » Come with Me
Captain Imperfecto at the helm 


Come with me. To the far reaches of the ocean as we travel on a light breeze scurrying our bodies along the waters wake. The spray of the sea launches from the blue blanked and it accelerates into our face, but a light mist gently dances upon our skin. 

Follow the aroma of the beach to travel to our never never land where we can find the shores of our new playground. Lets seek out our new adventures together as we untangle this thing called life. But lets not be afraid to fall in the sea where we may drown in our misery. But take a risk that we may float and survive the past as we travel into our unknown.

Come with me to a place where we can read and laugh and celebrate life while placing are feet in the sand and forming our own space where we can feel the warmth of the sun on our skin. The adventure is just beginning, my friends. But I need you to come with me, so we won’t be alone in this quest. Life was meant for 2 and here in this world of adventure we can learn from each other while realizing we aren’t so different in our life's’ problems.

Lets help each other as we learn and grow on the mainland before we travel out to sea. Let us realize that there are bigger things out there but help each other seek out our own adventures to forget about life for awhile.

If you can not fly above the deep blue sea then climb aboard the boat of Captain Imperfecto and travel on our next adventure in the safety of my hull. You’ve already been here with me before. You have already liked my blog or shared a story. You tweeted something meaning full and emailed me with wonderful stories of lifes hard lessons. You’ve seen the bad times and the good times and we have learned together.  But here, in our new place, we can  continue to learn together.

I am taking a chance. I put my cards on the table and decided to branch out before this thing we have, The Adventures of Captain Imperfecto, gets any bigger then it is. I took a chance on producing this website with support from great people with the risk that the ones who found me first, will be the last to come along, if they do at all. And those who knew me best will not follow along on my new site.

But I have to move over the mountain tops and play in the sea. This website is bigger than me now and I am humbled for all those who have decided to come with me this far. But will you continue?

Come with me, will you not? To life's great adventures. Lets understand life and what makes it work. Follow me to my new blog and lets appreciate each other and what er have today while looking forward to what can be tomorrow. 

Come with me and lets inspire one and other with our triumphs and console each other in are failures. 

Come with me and interact on the new website. Lets allow others to know they aren’t alone and that we can inspire each other to swim rather then sink.

Come with me as we grow and evolve into better people.

Come with me to my new place where the ocean is full of possibilities.

We are almost 10,000 people strong. Lets keep it going.
