Another month, another blog entry. Just seems to be the way things go.
Maybe it's because I write all day that I find the world of the blogosphere so bland. Could I liken it to how someone who has a swimming pool that rarely takes advantage of the oasis in their backyard?
Perhaps it's that I prefer not to trouble people with the woes of...

Been a while....
Thursday marked a month since Dad passed. Made for an interesting Thanksgiving.
Worked all day at the paper, finally getting to sit down to a quiet dinner around 7 instead of our normal 2 or 3. Still adjusting to sitting at the head of the table, but Mom said it was time. Besides, she's not about ceremony or leaving an empty spot...

The holiday season seems to be nothing but commercials of families looking happy and complete. I'm waiting for the commercial featuring a family trying its best to hold it all together while trying awkwardly comfort each other.
Here's hoping you and your family have a peaceful holiday. Its going to be rough, but you'll get though it. I'd suggest avoiding the mall. Its annoying on a good day, but the whole atmosphere is still overwhelming to me, and my mom has been gone two year. I can barely make it through a shopping expedition without crying. I do all my Christmas shopping online. Most people don't really understand why I do that....I don't really try explaining why anymore, its not really worth it unless they've been through it. The outside world can really be heartbreaking at times, even when it doesn't mean to.

Much better then the radio. You can tailor music stations to your own liking.

so sorry your father passed. mine passed at 48 almost 3 years ago, and it's never a good time. my heart is with you during the holidays. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my set. Jen
Well, it has been a week since Dad passed.
I won't bore you with the details, but he was diagnosed with cancer on July 4 and elected not to seek treatment. Doctors told him it would give him five years of extra time. What they didn't tell him was the procedure would have called for a lenghty and painful recovery, much of which would be...

I am currently editing a friend's book on cancer, so this resonates with me. I know it doesn't mean anything coming from a stranger, but my regards to you and yours.
I came to tell you I liked your username, but perhaps that is superfluous now.

My God, I am crying. I have been crying so much lately, but it feels like these tears are different...like I have been comforted in a sense...a small sense...but a sense. Reading this, reading your story on Baseball...I cried the entire time...had to go back a few times to re-read because the words blurred a bit. Your words are a comfort...thank you...I don't even know how to thank you enough...I feel so lonely sometimes going through all of this...I feel lonely even with my family around...I feel lonely sitting next to my Dad who is not the man he once was, but yet is still my Daddy and always will be...you have helped me to feel a little less lonely, and I can't thank you enough
Four hours ago, he was still here.
Now he's gone.
And my life will be changed forever.

I'm sorry for your loss.....

I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you and your family.
If you need anything let me know.

Nothing like picking up your half naked father off the bathroom floor to put a kink in the macho front you're trying to put up.
This time last month he was eating. This time last month his biceps were larger than my thighs.
Now it's a diet of water and milkshakes and those same biceps -- I can fit my one hand around them.

New post....
Well, that's it. I had my last day at my first newspaper job yesterday. Sure it was a weekly, sure it was close to home, and sure it was covering my hometown.
But the money was lousy. Lousy to the point where I couldn't finance a Kia if I really wanted to. The hours were great, but by the time I wrote most...

We've been watching the DVDs from season 1 and now we're halfway through season three so i hope I'm caught up before it starts again. It's so addictive. That and nip/tuck.
Best of luck with the new job.

One hasn't launched yet for me to try 
BTW you'll have to either call my cell, or message me your number cause I think I mistakenly deleted off of my old phone like the idiot that I am.

So I come home the other night and enter the house through the garage door. I pull down the door with my right hand, searching for the lock with my left hand.
Somehow I managed to put my middle finger inbetween the folds of the garage door and closed it all the way.
I couldn't see my hand in the door because it was dark,...

grimjack:
Yup...I've done that. Crushed my finger. Surprised I didnt destroy some bone. Shows you how malleable ye olde bone can be.
aponia:
Ouch...your finger crush trumps my scraped up legs definitely!
I like the shorts...me-ow!
But then...I grew up reading comic books...I have a soft spot for dudes in tight clothing.

Two updates, two days.
Crazy.
Anyway, work has me going crazy. Called a hospital today to check on the status of a patient and they connected me to the patient's room. Needless to say I was torn a new one and was told I'd be sued if anything ran in the paper. Good times.
So tomorrow ought to be interesting.
It's just about as insane...

aponia:
you should get those 70's gym shorts from American Apparel. They look more like underwear then clothing, but they are still ten times more acceptable then spandex.
aponia:
Nah...I meant these...
Hello, is there anyone out there?
quietlythere:
Yep.
evanx:
Uh-huh.
You could give cross dressing a chance, you might find a new hobby!
Haha. Thanks anyway
I'd definitely think it through a little more. There are other things I want to get done first anyway
