tired after another busy week, but figured I'd whip another one o'these babies out before I crash for the eve and awaiting grocery delivery in the AM
I know that even though my life has had its troubles and I've survived dangerous, life threatening, and unusual things that surprise a lot of people - including those that were involved in some of these instances - that I've lived a fairly simple, often boring, and fairly easy life overall
and, yes, people think I'm crazy when I say that if I can do the things I do and have done, I know they - and most anyone - could do the same as well
it's possible, I admit, that I understate my abilities as well as the things I've lived through... but I honestly don't think I'm that special, let alone talented
I simply am who I am, do what I do to the best of my ability, and have the willpower to continue through whatever life may toss at me
my life has calmed down substantially in recent years - hells, who would've thought I'd have been in one region for nearly 15yrs ( end of the month it will be! ), let alone one city/'burb/building for 7yrs ?
never would've imagined working for one company for 8+yrs, either *whew*
and, most importantly, those who know me would definitely never have imagined I'd have kids - and I have two crazy li'l spawnlings, Oi! :D
overall, though, even the dangerous, the life threatening, the unusual, and other oddities of my life were nothing more than moments afloat through years where so little, yet so much has changed
I know - so little and so much ?!
well... yes. those mere moments that surprise people are a mere day or days amongst years and years...
the world has changed - and continues to change - but I continue to be who I am through it all, only changing myself when I feel it's necessary
and - yes! - this has bothered some people who still think I should've changed more than I have... sorry, kids, but I like who I am today and where my life has led me
I'm a fathre - and do my very best at it, as any fathre should - but being a fathre has merely added aspects to me, not removed or replaced portions of myself
I'm relatively unhealthy, I'm fairly certain... though not going to a Dr for ~20yrs, I don't know for sure... but I'm not about to change the lifestyle I live today ( though admittedly it's semi-better than it once was, mostly due to money and availability )
I changed myself majorly when I was 15 or so, decided I couldn't be who I was becoming... and haven't changed that course since
people's presumptions are pretty demn funny at times, though
today, for instance, some co-workers assumed I was either in a relationship or have been since the divorce *laughs*
silly humans :) they really don't know me well a'tall
'course, these same co-workers also assume I go out all the time or hang out with friends on a regular basis or regularly have conversations outside of work
yehhh - not really, I'm afraid. I seldom go out, let alone get out of the house. I can count the friends I see once or twice every few years on one hand. if you don't count fb as "conversations," then outside of work the only people I talk to regularly are my daughters and ex-wife.
but that's what my life is... I enjoy my job and even my co-workers, usually ;)
I work primarily to keep myself busy and for my daughters ( child support and most purchases I make )
I have movies and music to keep myself "occupied" when I'm not working or with my girls - and oftimes both *smiles*
I'm frugal as all-get-out in most respects, though people assume otherwise by rote - or when they see my music and movie collections, expecting I must've spent unimaginable sums ( yeh, they're wrong, trust me )
when the weather's warm, I try to walk as much as possible - particularly now that I have the 70lbs tacked on that weren't there a decade ago ;)
unfortunately living in this state means that's pretty much only half the year *shrugs*... oh well
aye, some people that haven't seen me in years may not immediately recognize me - it's already happened recently, in fact
but I'm still me and I'll probably remain this me for some time into the future
OK, I know I'm tired because I've completely lost track of where I was originally going with this posting and think I've been rambling for minutes now *smirks*
sorry 'bout that!
uhm... guess that's all I've got to say for tonight other than my heart and thoughts to out to those officers who've lost their lives recently protecting the citizens of this country and upholding this nation's laws
I have and have had friends that are/were officers and will always side with the "cop" over the criminal - sorry lawbreakers, but it's the truth ( hells, I've called the PD on "friends" in the past, so... yeh, there's that )
ANYways, my lovelies and gentlefolk... half yourself a great weekend, the other half's mine
and for those of you with Significant Others, enjoy your VD Day :p

-thom Wolfox sR Rhose
unusualist - I have yet to find a religion and/or spirituality that fits my own personal beliefs... other than, of course, the fact I am a (fallen) god.
( y'just now figured out that I'm basically a non-practicing hedonist? "if it feels good, do it, if it feels bad, you're doing it wrong" )
( "I believe in the proven power of willpower and the truth we are the gods we created. No one being created this universe and its wonders." )
( "the words of wisdom I follow will be the words I've written myself based on the life and experiences that I have Lived, Enjoyed, & Survived" )
( "I live not for tomorrow nor yesterday, but for the day in which I dwell - today. Today is who I am, I know not who I'll be tomorrow, nor am I who I once was. Aspects of yesterday may remain into tomorrow, but I'm never completely the same, for each day I live, I learn and this knowledge changes me, rebuilds part of me, and I am anew." )
( "may the platelets of justice travel the bloodstream of villainy, clog its arteries with honourable vengeance, and induce a coronary of truth" )
( "we are all inmates in the same asylum, some of us are just better at bribing the guards" / *breathe ... relax ... kill ... rinse ... repeat* )
( "Who do I think I am? thom Wolfox sR Rhose, official slaveboy, SchmooGod of the MidWest, and RedKnight of Pattern - amongst other names, why?" )
( "In a previous life I was the engine block to a '56 chevy, I lost my heart to a Volkswagen Bus... er, wait - or was that a '57?" )
( "I may not be the brightest orange in this bag o'donuts, but I know vasoline when I smell it!" / "Godfuck Me, Jesus!" )
"Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave..."
"Oh, man. I'm sensing something very canadian about this place..."
"It's all true, god's an astronaut, Oz is over the rainbow, and Midian is where the monsters live..."
Jax : "yay for you, do you want a cookie or a bozo button?"
