Good News!

Im a Grandfather Again! Hannah Cathryn was born to my daughter and her husband on Monday night. I don't have pictures yet but will post when I do.
It's sad that they are all so far away...but still not even seeing her I have this wierd paternal feeling again...I somehow knew she was here even before recieving the call.
This is my first granddaughter so I'm excited to get to shop for little girl things again after so many years.
Winter has come to the high dessert...it's only seven above!
Oh by the way, Happy Halloween!

Day In Day Out


I'm just so sick of just existing. Trudging through life feeling unappreciated and unloved. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong out here. I'm begining to not even care.
I'm just so fuckin' tired of feeling this way. I want to live not just exist.

The Adventure Continues


Today marks two years since I moved out here. I must say these two years actually crawled by. That’s not to say they weren’t good times, it’s just that the two years were filled with so many intense situations. Because I was new to the area and the culture (yes, there is a Huge cultural difference between the West and the Mid-West), the normal day to day problems and situations sometimes became much more difficult and intense. It has been like being born again…everything was somehow new again and that’s cool and kind of exciting, but it was also little scary at times.
During these past two years I’ve tried a lot of new things and saw a lot of beautiful things that I never dreamed I’d see. The mountains are beautiful and that’s putting it mildly. Snowboarding was a great thing to try…I was very proud of myself. Because of my job I got to travel the North West by car and plane and it was awesome. I fell in love with the city of Seattle and I made some new friends on the shores of the Pacific in Seaside, Oregon.
There is no doubt that the adventure I set out on two years ago has yielded some great experiences and memories. The out come so far is nothing like I imagined it would be, but I guess that’s what an adventure is all about.
I’m still living with the woman I came out here for. That too was nothing like I expected, but all in all it’s been good…different and not always great, but good. I think I love her, but after two years I’m not positive. She has been a little rough on me and at one point I was seeing a couple of other women (go figure!), but we always drift back together. I’m still convinced there is a purpose to my leaving my past life so abruptly and coming here, but I don’t think it has been revealed to me yet.
So let year three begin and we’ll see what happens. This evening I made a promise to myself to let the spirit of adventure that took me out here take hold of me again, and stop worrying so much and just go with the flow.
Let the adventure continue!

Really Tired

Really tired tonight...work has been tough...two guys short and it's starting to stress me out....But I'll survive.

Was good to get home, jump in the shower and put it all behind me.

Not a whole lot to say tonight though. I still think the world is going to hell. There was some kind of Bush protest on the street last night. Wierd. How can you protest one person? How about some reasonable alternative suggestions? I'm not hearing them...Hello!

Oh wait... we can we can bring our troops home and try negotiations....that might work...right? Again I say HELLO!

Ranting and Raving

No I didn’t die on the operating table…the operation was a piece of cake and the recovery was speedy thanks to Pekacet and Miller Lite. I’m back to work and doing fine.

So what the hell is happening to the world? It’s going to Hell in a hand basket if you ask me. During my recovery I watched as these foreign dip shits visited for the United Nation’s general assembly. Why have we as a nation become so passive? We should’ve booted those two shits out here! Actually we should boot the whole UN out. Who needs ‘em? How dare they pick on the US! After all our country has done and continues to do for the world!

And what really pisses me off is these idiots who are Americans side with them! It’s suddenly like its bad to be an American…Like we are the evil ones! I don’t get it. We need to stand together. Never forget that we are a sovereign state and need to protect that. I can’t stand the fact that people get sucked into this whole world order thing… no such animal! There is a reason we are a strong nation.. we work hard and we are a fair nation…maybe not always right….but always committed.
