A car and a new address

Again, this is an interesting year so far. A good friend of mine asked me if I needed wheels. He said that it's free. Went to check the car out. Now I'm researching for insurance quotes. The car's nice. Sone dents here and there but the interior's clean. Only things that need to be fixed are one of the headlights, one of the taillights, the windshield (this can wait), and I think that's it.

Ash's car got stolen from my apartment complex couple of weeks ago. Last year, her car got broken into and the stereo was stolen. Now this and it was the last straw for me. Stolen cars then what? I got a kid to protect. The officer told me that stolen cars are regular in this area. Bloody hell. It was when I decided that we were moving. That's it. My girlfriend's car got broken into and stolen. I wasn't gonna wait and see what else was gonna happen.

I have my eyes on an apartment right now. Two bedrooms and plenty of space for $650 a month. Good deal. It also has sliding doors that goes into a little outdoor space out back. Perfect for my cats. The only thing is that the bathroom has a purple bathtub, purple toliet, and a purple sink. My sister told me she was gonna send me Minnesota Vikings stuff for the bathroom. The team colors are purple and yellow. Funny.

A long lost friend IM'ed me last night to my surprise. Last year, I started getting back in touch with people and I am slowly doing it. I IM'ed her some time ago and she quickly signed off. I knew there was a price to pay for doing this, ya know. Come to find out she did not have my new screen name. It was a very nice surprise.

Till then

Enjoy life and live free! :-)

This is freakin' B.S.!!!!

I do not know about y'all but 2006 is starting out to be, uhh, what's the word? Let's just say some of us are looking forward to 2007. If anyone has a real bad start to a new year, then come on over.

Ash, my love, well, her cousin committed suicide. I just met him over Christmas weekend. That was soon after New Year's Day. Her uncle Scott was taken to the hospital for numerous surgeries. His daughter found him lying on the floor and if it wasn't for her, he would not have celebrated Christmas with Ash and her family. It was from his drinking and smoking. Ash's cousin who lives in Portland passed away then Ash's grandpa's wife's mother passed away and it does not end here. Ash's aunt's friend was killed in a car accident in Issaquah.

I feel for her family, seriously I do. I just hope I can be there for her and them in any way I can.

I also feel that I am gonna lose my mother within a couple of years. She has MS and it's been over a year since she was informed of it. I can see the toll it's taking on Mom. Hell, my Mom was spanking the shit outta me for a long while and now, she struggles to hold a fork and bring it to her mouth.

As for me, 2006 started out okay. I lost some weight. I started school. Ironically, for a man who is trying to improve on communication, I'm taking a class that focuses solely on communication and partnership.

Yesterday, Ash and I got into a fight. This year does not feel right at all, ya know.

Ya know, Ash keeps telling me to be careful and its for all the right reasons. I grew up doing stunts. I damn near broke my neck one time and my Mom saw the whole thing. I just know that every time I went to bed, my parents went outside to the shed and cursed at my BMX bike. I've gotten so many head concussions. I lost count. I don't remember. I ain't kidding. But this year, I'll be extra careful. Apparently, I got a lot of reasons to live for and two females are the reasons. My girlfriend and my daughter.

Silence she wants and silence she will get.

This year has got me thinking about alot of things.

Craziness galore!

Hey there, been busy with school. Apparently there is some problems going on with school right now that I am hoping to have smoothed out ASAP. It's about my internship. Somehow I forgot to do one important thing and, well, that probably was the X factor for this whole thing *sigh*.

Father and child are doing good.

Me and my love are doing good also. Except for last night, we got into a "discussion". I started it. I got it out of my system. I'm trying to get better at this communication thing. In the past, I'd never said something about something like this, ya know.....just let sleeping dogs lie. Let's just say last night, I wasn't too crazy about the dogs.

Love's great....seriously, it's great.

Had some good alone time with Ian. Thank you, Ian, for being there.

4 teams will play this weekend and only 2 will come out as the victors. Gonna be a fun weekend.

I got a nice email from a guy I used to know at Youth Leadership Camp back in '90. That was the first communication between us since, uhh, forever.

Last weekend, had a very nice relaxing night with my love. We watched "The Wedding Crashers" and it was very funny. Also watched "11:14" and it was an "interesting" movie. I didn't like the ending, though.

Bush's still an asswipe. Spying on people, there goes the Bill of Rights. Bloody hell. Hey, Bush's spies, if you're reading this, go and kill Bush. you'd be doing the American people a great favor!

My sweet Lady Liberty, how I cry for you.

The Dalai Lama said, "Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other." Miluji te!

*sigh* 2006 and the world has not changed one bit

Been a while, ain't it? Started off the new year with the worst hangover I've had in a long time. Stayed in bed all day which is something I have not done in a long while. It was actually nice.

School started on the 4th and already the work is piling up.

My kid's been good lately but yeah she has her moments *sigh*
