This month has gone by so slow, no internet (weep for me, you heard me, start weeping!) while getting my leg to heal hasn't been much fun, but at least I did have cable tv. Ohhh, two years without it, how do some people do it?

News, news, well, I finally got myself a hell of a good job, I'm now working as a lighting technician. Just go out to stores, check electrical panals, do all sorts of voltage like stuff. It's actually demanding, we worked 37 hours in 3 days, my body was hurting at the end of it, plus I got a couple of electrical burns, minor ones though, nothing serious.

And it helps, very much, I can take care of my family now like they should be taken care of. Not to mention saving up for the wedding now won't be such a problem.

With love,

I've had crap happen to me that I could really do without ever have happen to me again, blowing out one of my kneecaps was among them.

I was called in early to work one day, and as I'm walking to work, it's snowing outside. Recently we had a incredible icestorm that sent 500,000 people into power outages. Anyway, there were flurries, and I had my work boots on that I thought still had traction on the bottom, to my dismay, no, no they didn't.

Anyway, I'm about half way to work and I step on a patch of snow, which was actually ice that I didn't see. The way that I slipped, my leg bent inward, and I landed on my kneecap while I smacked my face on ice and asphalt. So I had to bend my leg straight and push my joints back into place. The first time I did it to my other leg, it felt more weird than it did painful.

Ohh, not this time, the pain, oh man, I felt like I was paralyzed. All my joints and muscles going 'crunch' at once put me into silence for a few minutes. Luckily I had a handful of people see what happened and helped me out. Good thing I wasn't dying, lazy peramedics took 15 minutes to get there.

Got a brace on now, gotta stay off my feet for a week and spend the week thereafter trying to walk again, and I'm moving in a month, ha

Job I'm getting has got grade A health insurance though, so after a year, I can get my knees operated on and get everything wired together so this doesn't happen again.

Mother Nature!

I don't want to mention, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run." -Disturbed</sub>

I'm leaving, moving out of state and getting out of this black hole of a town within a few months. It's weird, as big as this place is and considering what it has, most people can't wait to leave it.

People that grow up here want to leave but don't because of their friends.
People that are older don't leave because it's all they know.

I'm heading further south, getting a roomate and hopefully can get a decent job since it's actually a city area. Nothing here but those shitty teeny bopper jobs where you can't make enough to shape a clump of toilet paper.

I love my family though, I walk 30 minutes back and forth to my job everyday, and it's fucking pissing cold outside, about 0 degrees. Ohh man, I like the cold, but this is like being punched in the face, it hurts so bad. Who needs nature, I'd prefer living in a plastic dome over this.

Now that I look back, maybe I won't lose so much. Most of my friends are off in their own little obsessive worlds and eventually do push everyone else out. Hard to stay in touch that way, life's a fickle thing.

And then I realized something, a lot of good people have drifted away. You get to that point, you know, you can't even get past saying hello. I miss some of my friends, especially the ones I used to talk to online. Those were good times.

One friend of mine though I've known for over 8 years, thought that one was gonna get severed (asshole huuuubby), luckily though she's going to be on my side at my wedding (you heard me)

I shall have to post pictures, won't I? Hmm.

As hard as life is, fight harder guys.

A man gets drunk at a neighborhood bar, but doesn't want his wife to find out. So, since his apartment is three blocks away, he attempts to walk home. He gets off his chair, falls flat on his face.

He attempts to walk to the door, falls flat on his face.

Tries to go down the road, falls flat on his face.

Goes down two more blocks, falls flat on his face 3 more times.

Makes it to his apartment building, and goes up the stairs, falls flat on his face.

Gets into his apartment and falls into his bed and falls asleep.

The next morning, he finds his wife standing over him.

"You were at the bar getting drunk weren't you?"

He looks at her baffled, "how could you possibly know?" he asked.

"The manager of the bar called, he said you left your wheelchair there."

Ah, good to smile.

Oh, side note, trying to clean up ma page a little since I haven't been around. Sorry to the emoticiety too, I'll try to keep more active there.
