Things and people have been slipping away.  This last week I was ill and quite stressed.  I need to snap out of it and make things better for me.  Things will get better and I will get through this, even if I have to do it by myself.  Although, I never really feel alone, there's always been one presence that I've always felt.  Anyway, enough ( Read more... )

When it comes to elections, I take my votes quite seriously.  I have always been a firm believer in voting for my positions on various issues.  About seven years ago, I became disenchanted with our current political party system.  That is when I realized that there was not a party that matched my views.  I decided that I would vote for the ( Read more... )

Thought of the day....

This post has been cooking in my head for some time.  Today though brought it to the surface and so here it goes.

Well, I was going to sit down here and write some more negative crap due to some unpleasantness I heard.  However, with some nice melted cheese with my pasta and some good music, I seem to be doing better.  Although, I do feel like kicking someone in the groin, but that will probably subside by the next time I see them.  Also, catching up with ( Read more... )

Well, another year is upon us.  For me, this last one had to be the most bizarre and odd yet.  Last semester was the most irritating yet, but I did rather well.  I still hear from my ex after 1 year and 8 months, although I think I've finally pissed him off for a while.  My dad broke his ribs, my sister is having some sort of cardiac problem, and ( Read more... )

So, Tuesday of Finals Week, my ex pops up in my IM.  I was surprised as I thought I had blocked and deleted him.  It was civil but short as he just kind of wandered off, a theme that is pretty consistent in his popping up on me electronically every few months or so.  Once again, this had confused and hurt me for I feel he is giving me wrong ( Read more... )

My dad fractured some ribs after falling on the ice.  Stubborn as a mule, he won't go to a doctor but I guess he feels better.  Damn ice ( Read more... )
