Keep up the PACE

So this year has begun very well so far. I've completed the application for the PACE program and I am turning it in tomorrow. I hope to hear back soon with my acceptance. Once that begins our 'brighter future' will start. I can't wait for it to start. I'm in the process of setting up my new mini with Office and whatnot, as soon as it's all set I'll be posting my stories and other creatively artistic works posted on here. It will everything you could hope for...so please come back...if you're here at all.

New Years Resolution

So being the new year it's time for a serious revolution of the resolution. There are several things to stop/change/start and I know that I can't do them all at once. So lets do some baby stepping.

1.) Write every day...on here and on my mini.
2.) Stop smoking...I want to live longer so I can monopolies my wife's time.
3.) Become more active...physically and within the community.

That is what I'm shooting for this year. It won't be easy but it needs to be done. I didn't want to even sit down for the five minutes it would take to type this out. Strange things happen and when I booted up the computer for some reason the feel of the keys under my finger tips just felt right. It's a comforting feeling sitting here rubbing the keys on the keyboard. It's strange but it feels...right/pleasing/comforting? All of the above. Hmmm?

2010

So another year is upon us and my resolution is simple...just write everyday. Oh and stop smoking and change the things I don't like about myself. Easy right? Well it will be baby steps but I'm sure I can do it.

Stay tuned and see what I actually write.

Another day

So Friday has begun well. I had some blood work done and now I'm sitting at my favorite coffee shop in all the world, Marshall Coffee! All the world might be stretching it a little seeing how I've only been to the US, Canada, and Mexico. But hey, I dig it.

I'm not looking forward to work but I've gotta pay the bills. So to the cube I shall go and dwell away the day. I'm still looking for other means of employment. I've even thought with my degree I could join the Navy or Air Force. But alas, I have no desire to live by their strict laws and there is no need to put my wife through all that shit!

The masters program at UNT sounds good but I'm iffy as to what I'd do with it. It seems as if all my interests stray from the path of wealth and simplicity. Screw it, I just need some hobbies and an effort to put forth and it will all work out. I'm ready to go see Dr Syn next month and figure out how to right this ship. I'm sure that will help solve a few issues.

Until I write and you read again, peace be with you. And everyone take a moment out of your day to say a little prayer for those lost on 9/11! And for those over seas fighting for their memories and for our freedoms!

Ever feel like the puppy in the window

Well I'm back and the wine festival was wonderful. It had some kinks and curves thrown in but all around it was good. We found a wonderful pizza joint that I wish we had here. I actually remember all of the events that took place this weekend...good or bad unfortunately. But good times were had and vino flowed like well, wine/water take your pick. I got to meet a cousin and it was nice to meet her. She seemed like a very nice lady. Maybe we can hangout with her more soon.

Now we're back in work and it's wonderful or some such nonsense. And life goes on and we return to that oh so loving rut of work and living for the evenings and weekends. As ole blue eyes said, 'That's life' and so it is.

I can't wait to go back and see my friend Dr Syn, the man that helped to change my life. I'm hoping to get my act back together and progress through life some more. For the last few months I've been feeling light headed and having all sorts of issues. I believe that my system is out of whack with the way it should be. I think I've actually malnourished myself and this crumby diet that I have partaken in has really interfered with my day to day operations of how I should be. It's the ravings of a mad man. I know not for certain of that which I speak but I speak nonetheless.

I have felt like I'm floating outside looking in on myself. I am lethargic and stuck in that mindset. I have enough energy to stay upright and do my job but when I get home I don't do anything. I know it sounds lazy but here as of late I've taken it to a different level. I'm kind of scared...don't tell anyone. That's why I'm getting blood work tomorrow and going back to see my Dr in Lubbock. I really do think this will sort my issues out. I make it sound worse than it is. It's not all that bad, I'm just not the same person this way. I feel like I'm standing behind glass watching...hence the title of this raving.

I've actually got a solid story playing out in my mind for my manuscript...TO BE CONTINUED.

Opportunities

In life you are aforded only so many opportunities before they stop. Thanks to a good man and friend they are still here. I really hope this new opportunity comes through. It would be a perfect fit.

I've got my fingers crossed!

New Mexico Wine Fest...The Past

So it's almost Labor Day once again and that means it's time for the New Mexico Wine Festival. This will be our fourth year to attend. If you like wine and mixing it with a good time...friends, strangers and all sorts of other oddities...this is the place for you. It's a party in a park and I look forward to it every year.

There are so many stories from our past three trips and I'm looking forward to new stories from this year. When I have more time I'll write up some of these stories so stay tuned. We have been talking about it all week and we still have a week to wait. So I think this week I will tell some of the better stories.
