already 30 days into January... already!
the last couple weeks have been a crazy blur, but we've gotten through it once again...
hells, the past year has been a blur - though not necessarily crazy as a whole.
been reminiscing here-and-there with the new officemate... demn, I did some crazy shit in my time - and somehow survived it all
there are times where I forgot - or don't realize - that I am in my 40s already
while other times it's very much obvious *Oi!*
BUT... there is absolutely no question that for all the good and bad things that've happened in my life, they led me here
and I LIKE here, demn it.
I've got a decent job, the longest I've worked for any one company!
I've got two amazing daughters that keep my life interesting and keep me on my toes
this is THE longest I've ever lived in any one area, let alone one city/suburb... we're coming up on 14yrs in the Cities and 7yrs in New Hope
that may not seem like much to some, but for me, they were records already a few years back
by no means is my life perfect, but it's all that I need and that is more than a LOT of people I know can say!
for all the shit, the physical damage, and insanity that I faced to get here, I have ZERO regrets...
It. Led. Me. HERE. ( but I already said that )
ANYways...
I've changed portions of my life and then some in the past decade plus, but - as those friends I've had for years can attest - I haven't changed much otherwise.
and, in all honesty, I don't think that's a bad thing a'tall...
if one can change and still be themselves, I don't think there's anything wrong with that as long as the changes were important ones
ridding the aspects of oneself that were a burden or problem while maintaining the aspects that made you YOu isn't something everyone can do
( hells, it wasn't as if it was my intent - it just happened )
so - for those friends that are still amongst us, the memories may be vague sometimes but the friendship isn't forgotten - much love!
for those new friends in the years since, your friendships are appreciated and you've found a place in my world
and - of course - to those friends I consider family... I wish so much I could see you more often, but time passes fast and the world is a big place
we will see each other again... time may continue to pass, but as long as we still stand, I'll make it happen somehow :)
you're as much as part of me as my daughters and nearly as important ( what? my daughters ARE my #1 priority and always will be )
so... 30 days in and MUCH more of 2015 to go.
to those I see and those I don't, keep Living and enjoying the 7 hells out of life the best you're able!
two weeks of twits ::
1/18 :
suuuure... women go nekkid, people look and smile (sometimes grin and drool), when *I* go nekkid, I'm told to "close the window, you sicko"
1/18 II :
*smirks* talkin' with the "old timers" downstairs and found out there was a drug bust just doors down from me - I didn't hear a thing! :)
the younger of the two told me it's a good thing I wasn't out in the hallway, I would've been arrested for my long hair alone *laughs* :D
1/20 :
1001 miles walked in 2014... that's less than 3 miles a day *sighs* - hard to be active when 6 months of the year are "pain weather" :(
1/22 :
those who talk shit about "ugly female gamers" they've never seen are obviously too young to remember the hotties who hung out at arcades!
1/23 :
when you say that something makes you want to "puce," you keep me more amused than you will realize without using a dictionary for once...
1/27 :
I thought I slept just fine, waking up the couple times in the night as usual, BUT I feel like I'm barely able to stay awake :( *sighs*
1/29 :
if I'm going to dream again about living above a bar owned & ran by beautiful women vying over me, at least let the dream finish, 'k brain?
