I'm in this funk lately. I just... I don't know, its almost like I feel like just giving up, crawling into bed, and sleeping until I'm old and grey. Between the constant trips to court, grandpa being sick, not having much money to do anything that needs to be done (fixing parts of the house, replacing appliances that keep breaking, getting my one ( Read more... )

Well, court took an hour. It was a pain in the ass. She lied a lot and we countered some of them but some require documentation so I had to let them slide. She was asking 800/month originally, then she disclosed her medical bills are only $430/month, so I'm now going to have to pay her $215/month temporarily. Likely until the divorce is done which ( Read more... )

I've been working 9 hours a day at a tradeshow today and yesterday, which has my ankles/knees in absolute agony since we forgot to order a carpeted booth so I'm standing on bare concrete the entire time. I have to go back tomorrow but only from 9AM to noon, then it's off to court to fight the ex over alimony/maintenance payments which I don't think ( Read more... )

Went to the book store today to buy books 3 & 4 from the Song of Ice & Fire series since I'm almost done with #2. Was totally geeking out that next to the check out line they a) had the book from The Oatmeal *and* Steampunk - The Art Of Victorian Futurism which had some amazing artwork in it. I bought neither though as I had budgeted my day. I did ( Read more... )

Small world. The cook at the Dive Bar which I've been at like 2x a week for a couple months now is this guy named Josee. We sat around shooting the shit for like an hour because we both like hockey, and then we were talking music and I mentiond I'm something of an electronic junky. Turns out he used to spin records at another bar I hung out at like ( Read more... )

Wednesday night. Car show. Dive Bar. Drinks with the owner shooting the shit about hockey and rugby and soccer and baseball and football. Normally I'm not into sports but we were talking about which professions whine the most vs how much damage they actually take. So, 3 hours later, baseball game ends, my chicken sandwich is long gone, 6 or 7 ( Read more... )

This song has been played at least once per trip in my car for about a week now. It's always been one of my favorite songs by her, but I think right now given the relationship status and everything else, that it just fits, as my relationship with my wife fell apart while I was trying desperately to cling to some hope of us being able to salvage ( Read more... )

It's Labor Day Weekend here so 3 days of no work. Yay! Sadly, today was rainy so I didn't get to skin dive or fish like I had planned. But tomorrow is going to be fairly nice, bit chilly but not too bad. So I spent all day just monkeying around on the computer.

I had this guy playing in the background all day since I have most of his stuff, and I'd ( Read more... )

I wasn't going to go drinking tonight. I really wasn't. I went out to the bowling alley with my grandpa, had a drink, brought dinner back with us to grandma and the gardener since she stuck around to chat with grandma most of the night. Then I went to the bar. My ex called me earlier today and was really aggressive and bitchy to me and I was still ( Read more... )

As of 12 hours ago I am officially an open water diver. Granted all this means is I can dive without a dive master present, using the buddy system, down to a maximum of 60ft/18.2m. But it was fun.

( Saturday was dives 1, 2, and 3 )
