I have to say that this time of the year is one of my favorites. College football is everywhere and there is a crispness in the air that only fall brings ( Read more... )

Anyway, I took off work early to go to the fair yesterday night. Fun stuff. I haven't been on that many rides ever in my life. Nothing like a good adrinal rush. Now I am paying for it. My shoulders are bruised and I feel like I just got out of a car collision. I guess part of that happens when you try to fit a large, 6'4ish" frame into a seat ( Read more... )

Yesterday marked a special day in my life experiences. No not because of the whole 9/11 tragedy in New York four years ago. A year after that, three years ago, I embarked on what was supposed to be a chance to prove my independence and prove that I could make it in this world no matter where I was. I headed of to Boise, Idaho to become the best ( Read more... )

For the first time in a long time I have the entire house to myself. I helped Matt move his stuff to Olympia yesterday so he can get a head start and the kids can get into school. Even though it's a little creepy to hear my footsteps echo on the hardwood floors, it's nice to know what it's going to be like when I get my own place up towards ( Read more... )

Since I got a late start on all this LJ stuff here's mine.

"Hopefully I will feel better when I wake up tomorrow because I have to go to Portland for work tomorrow."

Yeah pretty lame and lonely.

Who says hard work doesn't pay off. I have been busting my hump for the past few weeks setting up our 5th Annual Xtreme Skatefest. Not to brag but this one had to be the best ever. We are on the cover of the Sunday paper! www.thedailyworld.com See for yourself. How good can publicity get? I was also intereviewed and there was a story done on ( Read more... )

As much as I thought this LJ stuff would help me vent I have realized that I need to take a break from it. When I vent I seem to hurt others more than I help myself. An old fashioned journal is the better way to go for my deep thoughts or problems. I should only reflect positive thoughts and things on this LJ and right now I don't think I am ( Read more... )

Well I've gotten my promotion and I will be in the Puyallup area effective October 1st. Yeah for me I guess. It's a challenge and I get to move back to where I feel most comfortable. Just have to sell the stupid house so I can free my chains. Working on Xtreme Skatefest stuff. Got shirt ordered in two colors (cobblestone and Storm Grey) Will ( Read more... )

I realize with my recent entries that I hurt a truly special person. Someone still near and dear to my heart. Kathryn is a truly wonderful person. She is generous and very kind hearted and she needs to here that. Despite me feeling the way I do I feel she is still an exceptional friend to me. I said some hurtful things that she didn't deserve ( Read more... )

Despite feeling hurt at times I feel that I came off a little unpolished. Maybe I feel a little regret but I feel I still needed to vent as much as possible. Sometimes I have a hard time expressing myself in person without saying what I am truly feeling. But right now I feel like I need some time to think things through. To find out what or who ( Read more... )
