Hello again everyone!
I am back with a vengance! Ha! Gonna tear up the SG territory again! Sorry I have been gone for so long, but i was going through a hard time in my life, and also was living in my van for a while! R.I.P. "Gatorvan"! Went to the big graveyard in the sky several weeks ago! Anyway! On a lighter note, I have moved to the Clearwater, St. Pete, Fl. area, have a kick ass job now! and everything is just Hunkey Dorey! Its just so fukkin good to be back! I missed all of yas! ~~~~,~~,`< The Gator

Sup? It's Da Gator here! I took some pics here in a service plaza, in Ohio today! here I am with the Big Truck touring the country! I am on my way to Minnesota here, and Just Came from New Jersey! Will be back home in Florida for Memorial Day weekend, for a Beachparty that my friend Mikhail is setting up! Can't wait! Sirlionheart and myself are gonna split a room in Clearwater at the Wingate, and I am ready to get crazy! Been couped up in this truck for too long, and need to have some serious fun! Ok! here are the pics of me and my truck... Here is another pic of the whole Rig from farther away... LOL this is a funny shot I took in the shower room, "the Home Alone", hairs sticking up shot! ha haa! I know! i am crazy! ~~~~,~~,`< The Gator

Ok! Remember in my last entry where i said things were bad, and to always have a positive outlook? Well just after that, I lost my Dad, and I had to go up to Ohio for the funeral and all! But i still kept the faith, and when i got back here to Florida, i put in an application at this trucking company in the town where i live, and they hired me! I am on WiFi now at a truckstop in Ga. I run mostly Florida, to Texas, to Minnesota, and then back to Florida, so i get alot of miles! I get paid by the mile so that is a good thing! Anyway, things are looking up, I am living in the truck, so i have a roof over my head, and am still making a living at the same time! I owe alot of people gratitude for their thoughts when i was going through all of the shit! thanks everyone! Sometimes life is a hard road to travel, and trust me, when i say i have traveled many a mile on that rocky road!!! But if you kick the rocks out of the way as you travel down it, if you ever have to return that way again, it will be much smoother to travel! I had one of my students call me today, that i taught how to drive truck a few years back, at a CDL school! BTW I am the Godfather of him, and his wifes daughter! Anyway, he called to ask me a question about the federal motor carriers regulations , and the new hours of service rules for drivers on the road, and how much time he had to take off before driving again? It felt good to be instructing again, and to have someone ask me questions that i could answer, and help them! I really feel that i will go far with this company, and with the knowlege that i have accumulated over the years in this industry, both in safety, and the regulations involved, the sky is the limit! ok! time to get to bed, I gotta get through Atlanta, Ga. early in the morning if i wanna miss all of the traffic! Sorry i rambled on so much, but i guess i am just excited to be working again, and that things are improving!

Hey there everyone! Sorry for the late updates, but my life has been a turmoil lately! I am currently living at a Truckstop in my van, but thank goodness for WiFi internet in this truckstop, and no matter how bad things get, i will not sell my laptop! I think i would have to die first! lol I have to laugh and be in good spirits or i would be in worse shape then i am right now! But theres always one good thing!!! The only way is up from here! Ya know? It does no good to get upset with your situation, and piss and moan about it! So i have alot of applications in to different places, and hopefully one will call soon! Yeah i know, I am 47 yrs old you might say, how did you get in such shape? Well i never planned on this happening, it just did! Life is a Bitch, but it's how you DEAL with the Bitch, that makes the future a positive outcome! Sooooo enough of my whining, i am just glad to have a van, a roof over my head, and a new start to look forward too! Got some wheels, gonna get some deals, damn what ryhmes with wheels, and deals? on wait, i got it..... Cop some feels! Heh!

keep positive, even it things are negative, and your battery will never run down! ~~~~,~~,`< The Gator

WOW! look at this! I am actually updating! LOL Ok, heres whats happening in my neck of the woods! <--Al Roker says that I got bee stings all over me! 11 to be exact! I was mowing the neighbors yard, (they have been gone for a while, and it is grown over pretty bad) and I ran over a yellowjacket nest! so after getting stung 5 times there, i went and got diesel fuel and poured down the hole and started burning it! Well much to my surprise, the little fuckers had another hole 4 ft away, and decided to attack me from the rear flanks! Now i am stung 6 times more! So i pour more diesel fuel down that hole and try to burn the evil little buzzing creatures back to pandoras box, but nooooooooo! They won't die! It's like these mutherfoccers are wearing suits of armour or something! So i am stitting here all swollen up, fever, headache, and sore all over, because the little bitches even stung me in the buttocks! <-- I learned that word from the" Forrest Gump" movie! So I am going to take some more benedril and try to sleep for a few minutes! It kinda sucks because, I got stings all over my body, so no matter what position i sleep in, I hurt! Maybe i should sleep in the bathtub full of cold water? Thats an idea!

Hey there eveyone! I am heading down to Tampa, Fl. again to party with my friends! Going to Guavaween, which is a big halloween party in ybor city! Gonna have fun! I prolly won't be getting too krunked since I will prolly be driving home afterwards, and it is over an hour drive home, but I will have fun checking out all of the other costumes! I will give a little hint of what i will be dressing up as! LOL See ya all when I get back! ~~~~,~~,`< The Gator

I am going to Ohio tomorrow to see my Dad! Wooohooo! I am gonna surprise him, and he doesn't know I am coming! He is in a nursing home up there, and my sister is taking him out on weekends and stuff, so this will really make is day to see me! I will be back next week, and will catch up to all of the posts then! Oh btw, I noticed that Photobucket is being a pain in the ass and denied all of my pics to this website! Ain't that a foccin bitch! WTF? The pics go up in MySpace fine! They have a problem with SG or what? Fuckers!!! Photobucket and Photodump both suck dog turds! Ok see ya all laters! bbiaw! ~~~~,~~,`< The Gator

Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven't updated before this, I just got alot of stuff going on since the hurricanes here and stuff! Cleaning up the yard, fixing the roof! Blah blah blah! Mother nature has shure been on the rag lately, and Florida seems to be the trashcan that accumulates the jelly rolls! LMFAO Anyway, now that i grossed everyone out, life here as been cool lately, neighbors getting closer and helping each other out and stuff! Its kinda nice how people pull together and do stuff for each other when a catastrophe hits! I am going down to Tampa to visit my friends there again on thursday, so that will be a nice get away for me for a little bit! Get out and have some fun, and let the loud music be ringing in my ears instead of a chainsaw! ROFL I will try not to let this journal get stagnant again and will try and update more! I have to admit that I am letting other things get in the way of my updating, but I need to slap myself on the face and get my priorites straight! ~~~~,~~,`< THE GATOR

HEY THERE FRIENDS!
Looks like i am right in the path of this hurricane that is going to hit Florida!However I am far enough inland that I think damage will be minimal when it arrives here, so I am going to stay in this area and ride it out! I have a "safe haven" that is close if needed! Wish me luck! ~~~~,~~,`< THE GATOR

More upbeat now! I love my online freinds! They help pull me out of slump!
Well not only my online friends, but I had a talk with my Dad on the phone about an hour ago, so that made my day! It's kind of sad tho, because he misses me alot and always ends up crying! He was always a very strong man who never showed his feelings much, but after his stroke he became very emotional, which is kind of hard to take sometimes! I am flying up to see him when i get the "big check" I have been waiting on! I can't wait! I think I miss him more than he misses me!

Missing You Dad

I remember the times at the park.
I remember when you told me not to be afraid of the dark.
I remember when you fixed a flat tire on my bike.
And as I get older I see we have become more, and more alike!

We used to eat sardines out of the can,
and Mom and Sis would get grossed out.
Those were the best of times,
without, a doubt!

So many things I do now, seem to mimick you.
I guess that just what we do!
After all its in our gene's,
even if we don't really mean to.

Not a bad thing at all, its all good!
To become who you are, and what you should.
To be like the hero you always looked up to,
I just wanted to say,
I miss you!
