Whatever is cool with me.

Spring in general kind of sucked. I guess it’s only natural that what goes up must come down and down it went. Our runaway success slammed to a screeching halt and met the brick wall that is life. Read the rest of this entry »

February was off to a good start. Just a few days prior we had taken the keys to our new house and moved in. Sarah who had been out of work for a few weeks had found a new job, my job was going great, and we were getting settled in our new home.

Home is a great place. No matter where you call home, home has something special about it. I’m not sure whether it’s a feeling of comfort or safety or something else but it’s just great and that’s what our house holds for us.

Our furniture was arranged, internet and satellite working, pots and pans put away and computers back online the house was livable thanks to help from a lot of people. There’s not much else to say except things were looking up.

So as fitting as it seems, my life took another dramatic turn in January of 2009. Just stepping into the new year shit completely flipped upside down.

Without going into too much detail and opening old wounds I’ll just say that January found my wife, my bird, and myself homeless. Out on our asses and on a weekend no less, we found ourselves quickly scrambling for a place to stay until the coming Monday. Fortunately for us there is always room at the Kendallville Best Western. With our few bags of clothing and our bird Buddy we secured a room for a few nights until we could get into an apartment. Read the rest of this entry »

Just wanted to check in and let everyone know Im still alive. We had a wonderful holiday. Our new friends came over and we had a killer bbq. Nothing like lots of ribs, jalepenos, and other tasty treats.

I’m still working up the motivation to write about everything else that has been going on.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I really neglect this blog. There’s really no defense for it and I’m tired of posting stuff like “I promise I’ll post more” and then not posting crap for six months. Instead I thought I’d just explain why I don’t post as much as I should or as much as I’d really like to.

My problem with posting is not a lack of material, I have plenty of things to post about. My problem is my life has been a freaking roller coaster.  See, I used to post about all kinds of things that just pissed me off and things that I just felt were so wrong I had to get them off my chest and air them to the internet. After a while, I just felt like the same people were reading it and not silently not giving a damn. Then I moved on to posting about my life semi-regularly and that was ok except for a good part of the time my life was boring.  I’d go to work, come home, go to school and wash, rinse, and repeat.

Every once in a while something really good would happen and I’d like to post that and I felt good then something bad/unexpected/opposite of good would happen and I’d post that too and then there was more of that less-than-good shit happening. A person can only take so much of that shit before they start to get bogged down. The last year of my life has been up and down and it’s still up and down.  For the most part I’d like to write about it and get it all out and I really do plan to do it. I promise.

I have some things coming up this weekend and maybe after it’s all done I’ll post. If you’re reading this from some far reach of the world like Warsaw, Poland or Zimbabwe, Africa I appreciate it.  Oh and I swear I’ll post more as long as it doesn’t bring me down. I also have a lot of new pictures to post up in the gallery to. You’ll probably enjoy those more than my writing.
