Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007:
Be depressed if you choose. The suns coming up tommorow anyway, and you will still be alive.

Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I saw that friend of mine, he said, "You look different somehow."
I said, "Everybody's got to leave the darkness sometime."

So.. the holidays are almost over.
Well thats a good thing.
This season has been abominable. People loosing their minds.
Freaking out over little stuff.
I tell ya. I am ready for a new year. Things need to move on.
There has been some good news for the year end though.

Amber finally founds a guy that seems like he is worthy of her.

Mom is moving out of that drafty, shabby little house and getting her own place. (Away from my uncles) I will be paying half the rent to ensure she keeps it.

Kelvin and Joel are doing well. They arent fighting much anymore and really starting to appreciate each other.

Hope and Jeff are finally going someplace away from work and stress.

My Ex-Wife re-united with her son of 30. He was taken away because of family issues. And he came looking for her.

My Boss got a job offer for more money. Since he has four kids thats a plus.

Chad has been hunting Jennifer. Which is good. Its taken years for him to admit he wants her.

Chris P got a girlfriend.

Oh, and Nick told Lucy he loves her.
Which is great. after her husband died she was so depressed. then she met Nick. He has been a huge uplift in her life.

And we cant forget Melissa.
Mel, met Doug. and Doug seems to be bullet crazy for her and the boys.

So its looking good for my friends.

went to the kitchen after checking my email and there he was, in my kitchen, eating my toast.
"How the hell did you get in here?" I bellowed at him. He didnt answer. He just stared at me with his cold black eyes. I cursed myself for leaving the door open when I took out the trash. this would be a lesson I would not soon forget. I started forward and reached towards the counter for something to throw. My home intruder barreled to his right and ran towards the stove."NO YOU DONT, YOU FUCK!" I yelled as I charged forward. He saw me moving towards him and began to back away towards the dishes where the utensils were drying. If he could reach them, before I got there, I would have a real hell of a time getting him. I threw a quick kick to my right and knocked the dish-rack back a few inches. This started him and he charged right at me. I backpedaled to keep him from getting on me. No way did I want this dirty bastard touching me. As I stumbled backwards he lost footing and fell to his right. Without time to react he hit the floor with a wet smack. "AH HA!" I screamed. looking to my left and right all I saw was a can of air freshener. Emboldened I grabbed for it and came up empty handed. Meanwhile my "guest" had shaken off his stun from the fall and was righting himself to run. As luck would have it he ran right towards me. Realizing my opportunity I stepped forward and kicked as had as I could. It was a beautiful kick. It caught him square in the face and launched him backwards into the wall. Stunned again he spasmodically twitched his legs. Now I know some people are all about non-violence, and all. BUT this was my house and that bitch was eating my toast. The more I watched his legs twitching as he tried to fight the murky haze in his head, the more angry I became. Full of rage at having my home trespassed, I stomped over to him. Looking down into his cold black eyes, I lifted my foot and brought it down in a crashing boom. He was dead. His skull smashed and his cranial cavity leaking fluid I smiled. I won. He had come uninvited into my home, and now he would never do this again. Life is good.

And that dear friends is how I killed a large tree beetle in my kitche

Well I am back.
I got a little less alcohol in my blood, and alot more acid in my gut but Im back. And the doctor says I could be released.

I have no idea what the big deal was anyway. Lotsa people go Ice-skating. Granted I did do it in the nude. But I didnt want to mess up my clothes when I fell.
And yes I did go to the most expensive rink intown to do it. But hey. Its where the rich people go. Better ice! I mean come on!
Im not crazy. A naked blackman ice skating is really easy ti understand.
And besides....
The neighborhood one aint safe. The zamboni doesnt work and there are too many drive-bys. Which is kinda stupid when you think about it. Big mexican dude on skates passes you up. Then.... "Hey esse.. You dont run your mouth no more. BANG BANG". Gives a whole new meaning to "ice that mother"


PJ and I are on speaking terms now. More like she talks and I go, "uh huh"
She finally came clean about everything. IT seems she was after and with who I said it was. BUT, and you will love this.
HE dumped her. Left her for someone else.

SO she came to talk to me about it. Kinda like confessing your sins, ya know? So I listened. She cried a lot. ALOT. I was sympathetic to a point. Only to a point. After all, she did lie to me and go out with another guy.

Some people have expressed concern that I might fall into it again.
I can assure everyone, I wont. I live by a very cold rule.
"They didnt want you when they had you. So dont be fooled by pretty words. They used those before."

Because of all this I dumped a few 'friends'
People I was there for. People that used to call me at all hours.
"She left me".. and I would say, "Im on the way"
"Hes strung out on crack"... and I would say, "Im on the way"
"The cops say someone has to drive me home"... and I would say, "Im on the way"
"My husband hit me"... and I would say, "Im on the way"
"Im stuck and I dont have a ride"... and I would say, "Im on the way"
"He hasnt answered his phone in three days"... and I would say, "Im on the way"
"I hit someone on the freeway"... and I would say, "Im on the way"
"I got evicted and have to leave today"... and I would say, "Im on the way"
And for all of this. Where were these people?
Not home. No one returned a call. And one person hung up.
Only Amber and Lance stuck around. Just them. And I love them for it.

So, when I had set myself to near right, I deleted contacts.
I do not return their calls now. Nor do I intend to.

And heres a little tip for everyone.
When you see a guy holding a flashlight on the side of the highway, pull over. Its probably a cop
Oh, and heres one more tip. If the taser dont work, they will shoot you.

So after sending me a good bye on Myspace.com she pops into chat.
And this is where we went.

She never answered me. Not once.
Her sister started emailing me. Same stuff.

So tell me?
Did I overreact? I dont think so.
Instead of her trying to talk to me, her sister emails me.
Repeatedly.
