well

I am kind of back. I know I wanna say that i will be back with a vengance but I won't be. Life has a way of taking you away from other things. Lots has been going on but would prefer to just keep most of hat rubbish to myself.

My son has started school and seems to be doing well. I am meeting with his teacher on Monday so I can get a better idea as to what the hell is going on with him. I am also going to see if there is any volunteer things I can do. I want to be very involved with my sons schooling. Maybe I am just a pansy and want to be with him as much as possible....is that a bad thing?

I don't get to see my son as much as I am used to during the summer but i make do and have ablast when I do have him. I had taken him camping this past Father's Day and may have created a new tradition for us. We had gone down to Shenandoah NP and stayed there for the weekend. Plenty of hiking and mini-adventures. I will have to put in an entry about that....yes 3-4 months after the fact but you will still get the idea.

I also have a great idea for a book that I want to share with just my son. I will get into it with you all again when I write again soon. Very sweet and a wonderful idea. I suppose I will also fill anybody who gives a shit in on my life and the limited amount of that bullshit I want to share. So cheers and see ya next time.

insanity

I am sorry for such a long break! I have been busy as hell with work and life. There isn't all that much more to elaborate on. Life is still what it is and I am doing well. I am looking at changing jobs soon. I am really not happy with what I make for the amount of crap I do. I am sure that everybody says the same shit but trust me, this is not a typical case of bitching.

I am hoping that one or two of the places that I have applied to will be in touch soon. I will tripple my money and have a crazy schedule. I would work anywhere from 2-3 weeks straight 24/7. Then have that same amount of time off. Yep thats right! Work half the year and make triple what I am making now. So I would be silly to not look into this stuff. As usual I will keep you updated.

I had such a nasty headache last night I went to bed at about 8pm and woke up this morning around 430am. I still had a killer headache and NO tylenol. I had to resort to taking some tylenol cold "daytime". Seems that it has dulled the pain.

I will be sure to write more again soon. Will fill anybody in who reads this still as to what I have been up to fpr the last few months. Nothing special but some very cool things I have done with my son.

I'm back........

I'm sure I have lost anybody who ever read this thing on a regular basis. It's my own fault. I'm sure I will be back more now. I have been busy with life and am now just getting my shit together enough to write again.

I will fill anybody in that cares as to what I have been up to. I am in the middle of getting a divorce and am actually doing pretty well with it. It's a crappy situation to be in but I think it's for the best. I do miss not being able to be with my son every night but I do get to see him whenever I wish to so that's a plus.

Why am I getting a divorce? It seems that my wife has found another man that "has more going for him" than I do/did. A case of the grass is greener on the other side type of thing. I think she is totally insane and has no clue as to what she is doing with our son. I don't know how long she has known this guy.

I moved out about 3 months ago and work as much as I can so i can take care of bills and pay for this divorce. I'm sad because it's not what I wanted and am pissed only because my wife gave up on me when life got tough for us and split at the first chance she could. My goal in life now is to prove that I shouldn't have been given up on. Will get into that on later posts.

I am pretty upbeat about the whole thing and am moving on. Pretty much her whole family has my back and they don't agree on how she has acted. It's all good and wish her well. i don't wish this upon anybody.

Will be writing again soon. Will also be out looking for new readers.

yada yada yada

Nothing new to report here. Life is as good as can be expected. I am a working machine and now contributing to a 401(k) and trying to get by. I have had the last 4 days off and have only done something good these last 2 days. Otherwise I was busy watching football and doing guy stuff. I have to go back to work tomorrow and am almost looking forward to it.

I was told about a job that is similiar to mine but way less bullshit. Oh and it pays double what I make now. How sweet would that be? I would have to drive 45 minutes to work but I have a good vehicle and who knows maybe move closer to work when time and money permit. I figure I have nothing to lose by at least applying for the job. There are 9 openings. I figure if I can get in there my life will be sweet again. The one trade off is that I would be leaving this company I am with now and thats kind of my meal ticket back to Minnesota. Who knows?

Thats whats been going on in my lame ass world. My wife has been gone for two weeks housesitting and my son is in NJ because we aren't quite at the level of monetary greatness that allows us to afford day care. So I have been home alone and cleaning up and getting things done around here. Place is actually coming together nicely.

Umm Day 3?

Well, I am finally getting off my ass and getting things straight with my computer and whatnot. So I am submitting my "Day 3" picture 11 days later. But as of right now I am having problems again uploading the damn thing. I have no idea what the hell is up with this thing. Stay tuned....

technical difficulties

Well, I see that I botched this idea up. I have been having problems with my computer and have been unable to upload pictures. So I will be trying to correct this problem and get back on track. We will see.

Day 2

Well here is Day 2's picture. It was taken over the weekend while I was at work. I had to hurry up and get out there to catch this shit. I had seen it a few times before and had wanted to take a picture of it. I had to climb a huge oil tank to catch it. It is of the wonderful sunset over the Potomac River.

So as you may see there isn't any one genre of pictures I am going to throw out there. I had originally wanted to take a picture every day and post it. But the truth of the matter is that when I am wanting someting funny or cool to happen....IT WON'T! So I figured I would use some stock pictures and then see if I can add on to that as this month passes. At least it's a way to get my lazy ass to blog. Been a while. I guess I needed that "spark" or "flame" to ignite the passion I so badly want to have for this thing. I was thiniking of a hook for my readers...or reader whatever the case seems to be these days. I really have nothing else to say. Just thought some people may like to see a great sunset over the Potomac River. So enjoy suckas!
