Homecoming!

Now that everyone who is affected by it has been told, and the plane ticket has been booked, I can start announcing my good news:

Charlie is coming back! For good! He will be flying in August 26th and he is bringing Bella (his cat) with him. I get my other half back, and I get a new fur baby! *happy dance*

I doubt that anyone is interested on such short notice, but I will be at Luna tonight. I you feel like venturing out, come over and say "Hi."

When I post something, here or elsewhere, complaining about my own situation, thoughts and feelings, it's for the purpose of complaining about my own situation, thoughts and feelings, and I'll dispense such posts as I see fit. I am not trying to take pot-shots at anyone, nor am I trying to turn people against anyone. If I were, I'd come out and say so. I am allowed to be unhappy and I am allowed to state that I am unhappy. Don't like it, don't read it! Or go bitch about in your own journal.

This weekend.

Has anyone ever notcied that when G W Bush is in a group of people getting off a plane or walking through a crowd, he always waits until a second or two after everyone around him starts waving to wave. I noticed this several times in news coverage in the last couple days. Is he that slow, or is he just determined to be a follower, rather than a leader?

Why myspace bugs me

2008-05-14T23:24:03Z

I have had a myspace account for almost two years. Charlie set it up for me because he wanted me to have one, and I never really did anything with it until January of this year, I always thought it was lame, and, to quote more than one friend, a big, on-line popularity contest. Earlier this year I started using it to communicate with a few friends I otherwise wouldn't really be in contact with, and I've been playing around with the features a bit. It's ok, but between the recent "I bought you as my pet" crap (if you don't know what I'm talking about be thankful) and messages like this, somedays I just have to roll my eyes.

I took out the guy's name, location and e-mail address, but otherwise this is unaltered. I wonder how many women he sent this to.

I am ***************** by name.. I am from ********.. I am 26 years of age... How was your day been today?. Its really nice looking at your profile.. I saw your profile on here and i was really hooked up and would love to get to know you ...... I am an Engineering,i ,i have few day to be thru here,well i

You sound like a very nice woman... Are you single?.. Are you looking to meet?... Where are you right now?.... Your favourite activities?... May be i am asking too much but the fact is that i would really love to know more about you.. .. by ... a cruel word may wreck a life..... I am a man with values and Principle's. I very much care, love, gentle and sweet. I estimate value of loyalty and honesty, and I was increase with good values of family. I have good scence of humour. I love dogs. I have the big love and fidelity in my heart to give fine to the woman which wants to, I am a man without the complications formed, cultural, and I believe, that sincerity and honesty - one of my biggest qualities. .... I - not that naive expectation my soul mate to come across on this structure, lose his head and any common sense, and have " happily ever after " with me.... However I - a little from romantic, both sometimes the dreamer, and certainly the woman (hence any common sense in genera).... So here I, lowering my toes in similar to timid waters of the Internet dating. For the last 5 years I was through a pain, the chosen loneliness and it is a little dates without the future. to essence, that I very much want a steady life of love again. I like to have steady, loving warm attitudes where you can trust the person with your most expensive secrets. It is impossible to describe here ideal attitudes.. .... It morning time we can take cofees together before work, occasional the reference by phone within day to make sure, that you - it is good, evening suppers before TV, long excursions when you do not speak very much with each other, but silently agree, that the world - a beautiful place... Warm embrace and a passionate kiss, sensitive contact, a sight.... Dispute on anything or the big struggle on the big problems.... The same directions on long trip of a life and mutual understanding, that sometimes it not necessary to take detour... The Promise, that everyone will stand in the party(side) for ever. Tolerance. Kindness. Decency. Love I am one of those good guy, which are given birth to have family, and I pass affinity and affinity, which love brings. Only... , it would be good to have the captain! If you think, that you have heart of a sea lion and not afraid of the avaricious concealed feelings, Why cant you try and give me a chance and let see what will happened... I never thought about this internet dating before but i had to give my self a chance again... being lonely is not a good thing.... I would really love to hear from you... meeting you will be nice... But we have to start from somewhere first and that s communication... I will be here waiting patiently for your lovely responds... Take care and enjoy this world...... Here s my personal email address,,,.. *********************or ******************.... Hope to hear from you soon... I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine,
I love that you are with me, am also a footballer
And glad forever you are mine.

Friends only

Not that I'm egotistical enough to believe that anyone looks at this who is not already on my friends list, if that, but FYI my journal is now almost entirely friends only.

Past entries have been friends locked and future entries will continue to be, so, if you're not on my friends list and want to read, respond to this or add me and I'll add you back.

I'm just wary about who has access to my personal info.

Charlie's stepdad died at 12:15 this morning. Not sure what the plans are yet, but just wanted to keep everyone informed.

Charlie and I will be at Luna this Friday night with some friends if anyone would like to join us. We may also meet up at our place for pre-drinking if people don't mind boxes all over the living room.

Home?

2005-11-02T18:52:37Z

Recent events have made me homesick, or rather craving the stability I had when I still lived with my mom out in the middle of nowhere. Thus, after work last night I made the 2 hour drive back to Springport. Though it is comforting to see my mom and the house I grew up in, I guess this really isn't home anymore. It's a bit disconcerting, as I can't really say that where I live now is home, either, so I guess I am currently homeless, as it were.

I found a test on-line last night that is supposed to measure your level of stress by assigning different point values to events (ie: death in the family, loss of job, moving, etc.) that may have occurred in your live in the last several months. For a person with a normal level of stress tolerance anything over 250 points is supposed to constitute overstress, and for one with a low stress tolerance, overstress means more than 150 points. I scored a whopping 420 points, go me!

I will say that once I settle into my new job, I think it will be worth the extra stress. Though the training has been hell, for the first time I feel like I have a job where I am actually doing something that matters. Also, going back to school is a bit intimidating, but also exciting as this time I have the added benefit of actually having a goal, rather than picking a subject I excelled at because I thought it would lead to career options.

Thus, I return to the turbulence that has become my life, at least somewhat hopeful that a few of the recent changes will be positive.
