Your Move

25Nov08

“Are you going to make your move or not?“
(p.s. This reminds me of the Her Secret post back in December 07)

Half Full

25Nov08

Well, I made good on one of the two things I vented about in the “Unfair” post below. Julie got home today, spent about an hour at the house and then she took me down to the poker hall. I had just $10 for a rebuy and got almost nothing the first 30 minutes. Then [...]

This Weblog

22Nov08

I average over 500 visitors a day. Any suggestions to push this weblog over 1,000?

I try to keep it balanced between interesting finds on the internet and personal topics. Is one better than the other? Do you like a face behind the machine or just an entertaining machine?

Thoughts on Obama

06Nov08

Today, while discussing the election of Obama with my father, he said “I hope you get what you deserve.” I replied with, “I do too.“
Him meaning, a socialized United States, higher taxes, less job opportunities, etc… I meant, every change Obama ran on. Health care for all, less taxes for 98% of America, college reward [...]

Grandfather’s Shoes

26Oct08

Today i put on my grandfather’s shoes. The soft & strong leather wrinkled areas about, like the laugh lines of his face. The weathered shine that had endured years of wear, reminded me of the glow about him, even in the last days of his life.
The shoes, fit so perfect, however, i am far from [...]

Decide, I’m Already Defined

02Aug08

Who I am, how I am, regarding my personality, is defined. Very defined.
I’ve changed slightly over my 29 years, but the core of me has remained true. I’m sick & I’m tired of playing a role. We all have roles, but they should be ones that we want and choose, not ones we’re given.
The [...]

It’s Alright, It’s Okay

11Jul08

My grandfather has been back and forth to the hospital for the past month now. He’s not doing too well. Doctors are predicting the worse. This situation reminded me of something I wrote about my grandfather 2 years ago when he had a heart attack. This is it…

An Update

29Jun08

I’ve been wondering if the trade-off for good mental health (an 8 year battle) is worth what I’ve lost in character and personality. Those who have been around me (virtually & real life) have had to notice a change. I’m back to the worker bee status & independence, no longer needing someone home for me [...]

By the time you read these lines…

07Feb08

[From April 2005]
My official response to all of this is that it’s fuckin bullshit. You know, for the record and all.
As far as I’m concerned, that was between her and I. And from the recent past, she should know that I do respect her wishes and try to accommodate her demands- whether I feel they’re [...]
