I am a creature of regret of things a long time past...


I am also that child everyone knew when I was "so" high...

I was the one who caused church leaders to kindly asked my mother to leave when I proved...unruly

Did you write that or did you find that? Regardless, it's amazing. There is never room for the sorrows of mankind when I read your journal.

i had, what you may call, a parting of the ways with my graphic design job with this company i've been with for a couple of years now...


I say parting of the ways rather than fired because for two hours I was allowed the luxury of defending myself...

I'm sorry to hear about that. What Fuckers! It sounds like you did bring alot, they just don't want to admit it. They just use you and spit you out. I'm sure you'll find something much better, somewhere that will appreciate you and treat you well. Don't worry! kiss
andromeda:
Ya know, a cool ass member from SG got me started into meditating. Oh my does it help. Have you been trying? I've been in a situation kinda like yours before. I can understand how you must feel, but trust me you are better off somewhere else where you will be happy! kiss

He began to warn all the other animals:

The importance of others

The solitary ember
Juan always attended Sunday services at his parish. But then he began to find that the pastor always said the same things, so he stopped going to church.
On a cold winters night two months later, the pastor paid him a visit.
He must have come to try to convince me to go back, Juan thought to himself....

The whole self-publishing thing's my plan, actually. Most of my ideas don't really seem to be of the type of thing that would be published by any known people except maybe Top Shelf Comics. Ehn. I know I'm choosing the hard road.

That is an interesting story.
