Been a long time since I have been on the site. I just moved to New Britain CT last week...
It has often been said that I am at my best when I am in the wilderness. I attribute this to my childhood and the fact that I grew up with 5 miles of woods in every direction of my house. Basically the woods were my only play ground. Since those days I have moved around quite a bit and at times life keeps me away from the woods, mountains and true relaxation.
That has been the case for the last couple of years. So to make up for it, Melissa and I have found a great National Park to start spending our weekends at. Below are some pictures of our camping trips at Mt Lemon.

The year is now 2008 and I have decided that this year is not one to be wasted.
I plan to sell my motorcycle and get an old car or truck to restore.
I plan to get back into kick boxing.
Im going to do lots of hiking in the desert.
Im going to start rock climbing again.
And I plan to go sky diving again...
No I have no death wish. Quite the contrary. I plan to start living again!!!!
As for my health I have been having some issues that I need to see a doctor about and get some tests run. Today those issues caused me to call out of work and spent most of the day in pain and not happy. But the 3 blow jobs I got through out the day did wonders to lift my spirits

Today is my last day working at the hell whole book store that has done nothing but suck the very life out of me...And God willing it will be the last retail job I will ever have.
Well despite Murphy and his wonderful set of laws throwing everything it can at me to make sure every last day I am here in San Antonio sucks donkey balls, the count down to getting out of here is almost over. My last day of work is a week from tomorrow and the packing of the apartment started over the weekend.
More to come later....
** And for all the donkeys out there, I hope you take no offense to the above statement. I am sure in the donkey world sucking on your balls is a good thing.

Ok so not too long ago I met a guy who does cover art for Sci-Fi books. Hes actually done some amazing work and has won shit loads of awards for his cover art. His website is here. After he found out that I am a pirate fanatic he asked me to send him some shots of me dressed like a pirate to see if he could maybe use me as a model for some possible future cover art. So today I sent the these shots and he totally loved them and thinks that he can definitely use me in the future.
Ok so its not huge news but better than usual. And it wont bring me any real fame but it would be kick ass to pass by a book in a store and see me on a cover....
Theres a couple more in my pictures section, but you get the point...

Ok so work has hit all new levels of SUCK. How can a company continue to function when half its people call out every fucking day? (Im not exagerating either. We average 2 call outs a day, EVERYDAY in a store that is open from 9am to midnight daily.) And the rest of us are left to suffer by being over worked and so stressed out that we cant even sleep at night! Oh yeah thats right its because Corp fucking America likes it when they get to save on payroll and bank more money. Thats why we are understaffed in the first place, so they can save money. But then when people call out to go FUCK OFF for a day in the park, we go from understaffed to crippled!!! Christ I went through chemo and radiation and still only missed about 3 or 4 days out of several months.
What kind of fucking society do we live in where a company is afraid to fire its shit bags because they are afraid that they will get sued for wrongful termination? Im sorry but if you dont come to work and dont do your job when you are at work it seems pretty fucking obvious to me that you need to be fired and have no grounds to fight it.
God oh mighty I could go on for hours about the FUCKTARD people that run companies today from a office or cubicle in some other state or country and have no idea what the inside of the company locations actually look like.
I salute you with my cock in hand so that you can get on your knees and let me face fuck you!!!!

Not much going on lately. Vacation is over and the dread of my day to day job is in full swing. I have never worked for a company that has ZERO business sense and never enough staff to run the place.
The only true escape was taking GypsyPhoenix for a motorcycle ride to a little park to take pictures.
I cant wait to get out to Tucson so we can do long day rides out in the desert...
***Late night addition. I am now home from work for the second time today and it is after midnight. I thought I would check email and surf some friends posts and something has just dawned on me or better put, "Hit me like a ton of bricks". And now I have figured out the reason of the dark cloud I have felt over me this past week or so. I have sailed in these waters before and did not fair well..... Booo....

Well vacation is over (BOO!!!) and its back to life in San Antonio (BOO AGAIN!!!) and back to my shitty job (BIG BOO!!!!)
But im ok with that for now. The vacation was exactly what I needed. See I grew up with 5 miles of woods on every side of my house and spent the majority of my childhood in the wilderness. Im not a huge hippy or back woods hick. As a matter of fact I grew up in Maryland, just on the outskirts of town. But I have found that I do better in the wilderness and away from "normal society". I guess that is why I enjoyed my time in the Army so much, sleeping in the mud puddles, snow, jungles and deserts of the countries I deployed to.
The problem with Texas is that there is no public land. No place that you can just pull off on the side of the road and walk off into the unknown. If you do that here you will be walking onto someones property and chances are you will be shot. So my year here has left me feeling very claustrophobic and stuck inside.
This vacation turned out to be more than just a chance to get away from my job for a week or just a chance to get away from my life for a week. It was a chance to be me again for a week and motivation to get the hell out of Texas and back to a life that will allow me to be me.
So here is some more pictures from the trip...
