The day the world stopped. 
Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 10:24 PM
Okay well today i had the strangest feeling ever. I was sitting in my car after work and i drove out to a friends house. Well i had a beer and then kinda stretched out on the sofa to watch a movie. Well the next thing i remember was that my friends was gone and it was 11:50 PM. Now here is the strange thing is that i went upstairs and my buddy gone his car gone and the house unlocked. So i used the spare key and locked up and started to drive home when the events of the day came back to me. I remember the movie and i remember him saying he was going to the store but i still can't account for over 4 hours of the day and my buddy said that i never fell asleep when i called him after i got home. He left to go to the store some 20 minutes before i left. Does anyone find this as weird as i do and has anyone else had this happen to them? Feed back would be great.

Moving 
Monday, April 17, 2006, 08:21 PM
Okay as some of you know i am in the process of moving again. This time it is to Columbus Ohio. The people here are nuts and i hate most of them and how they drive. My second day actually in the city i was rear ended on the express way. How you rear end someone on the express way is beyond me. I was doing 80 in a 65 and was rear ended. I now have to find a new car because mine is toast. It is the normal hustle of a big city but i tell you i would leave it behind in a heart beat. I have spent to much time driving in a small town to understand how these people can deal with the amount of traffic.

On a brighter note the movers will be at my new house at 8 am on tuesday to start unloading YAY!!!!!! No more hotels and such. I will be getting my home phone tuesday or wednesday and hopefully have the internet by friday. I am going to be so gald to get out of a hotel and sleep in my own house in my own bed with my own sheets and have my dog sleeping at the foot of the bed again. Cooling is something that i have missed the most i think. I love to cook and i feel that i am pretty good at it. I love the freedom of making your own meals and not having some one tell you to eat your veggies or to not eat all those sweets.

Any way that is about all i have for now. Catch you on the flip side.

Semper Fi.

This coming week 
Wednesday, April 5, 2006, 02:20 AM
Well here it is 5:20 in the AM and i am still awake. Why? you might ask. My head is full of wonderful and terrorfying thoughts. I just purchased my first ever home. More of a bachlor pad at the moment than anything. I am hoping that someday soon my fiance and i will finally tie the knot and we will be able to move in together and start a family. Those that know me know me as an immature person who loves to have a great time. I have done some real soul searching in the past weeks and have discovered that I am only running from something i really want... My own Family. God has both blessed me in the past and nearly destroyed me. Again those that know me know what i have gone through but here it is for those that don't. In the past 5 years i have suffered from depression after loosing someone very close to me. I have lost jobs. I was a United States Marine, wounded in battle and spent months in rehab. I was a Cop again wounded this time shot while helping those in my community. And then once again as an IT person. I was again struck down from grace when that company went bankrupt. I lost my apartment, my phones, basically everything except my old beat up car and the clothes i have. I also kept my respect intact. I roomed with an old military friend of mine till i got back on my feet. My fiance who just graduated from college joined me at my friends house. We started looking for a home and found it. I will be moving in this week and Jennifer will be moving shortly. I can not tell you how blessed i am to have someone like Jennifer in my life. She has helped me in so many ways. Like i said earlier my brain is spinning with the possibilties of what can be.

I hope that everything that has happened in the past has prepared me for the challenges of having a family and caring for them. It is something i want so much it is hard to believe, but i am also scared of it at the same time.

Well that is enough ramblings from me for now. Thanks for listening.
